Aw man, I'm supposed to be inactive and studying, so if my grades suck because of my spending my time replying to your long-ass comments, guess who I'll blame >:)


 * First of all, fanboying, really?? Lucy is my favorite female and scored pretty damn low, I am between hate and difference when it comes to Wendy and Gray and they have scored top place. Also, God knows how low Minerva will score, and I think we all know what my feelings are for Minerva. It just takes really long to write and evaluate each character from start of the manga til now, so say whatever you want, but please do not use that argument, because I'm trying damn hard to not let any room for bias(except really subjective things, like whether I like his attires or Magic).
 * With that said, let's see. Did you even read the design part? >__> I, too said that his design is damn simplistic, but I explained that I personally really love his costumes, which explains the 7; love his fashion, meh about everything else.
 * Personality: all I'm saying is that although at first I thought he was a pretty bland guy as well, I see Mashima actually building him up to be Natsu's nemesis, which would be pretty cool. That remains to be seen though ( ._.)
 * When I compare Gray with Erza, I mean that she, instead of thinking of a way to use Minerva's overconfidence against her, stood there and lectured her. I didn't mean to say that young Gray was stronger than Erza; he just had more balls than Natsu, and was smarter than her.
 * I also mention that Ultear far outclassed Gray in every possible way ( ._.) but he still found a way to hurt her. I never said he defeated her or that she's stronger. See, In this dot(and the one above) I'm not saying "Gray is the strongest out of team Natsu", on the contrary. He is not of considerable strength, but is very good at using his opponent's disadvantages against them, and use his own as assets. As for Erza yeah, she used to be a tactician, but really, how often do we see this anymore?
 * His powers being boring is really objective, so I cannot convince you otherwise :P
 * If you look back at Natsu and Lucy's covens, role in the manga and significance are equally small paragraphs, because I only mentioned what's the character's purpose in the story there ( ._.) there's nothing more to add to make those sections bigger.
