Carla

Carla (シャルル Sharuru) is an Exceed, similar to Happy, the daughter of Queen Shagotte, and a close companion to Wendy Marvell. Both she and Wendy belonged to Cait Shelter before joining Fairy Tail.

Appearance
Carla is a small white Exceed. Since she is an Exceed she is also a cat. The type of cat she resembles seems to be a Tom cat. Carla wears a pink bow near the end of her tail. Her usual top consists of a mustard yellow and pink top with a pink bow tie. Carla also wears a pink skirt with this top. Carla, like other characters seems to switch outfits every arc. Carla has pink ears and brown eyes, which are significantly smaller than Happy's eyes. Carla also has two whiskers on each side of her face. When Carla uses Magic, she sprouts two angelic-like wings to fly.

Personality
Unlike the carefree Happy, Carla is very strict and serious most of the time, rarely showing emotions. She cares about Wendy like a mother. She's at first was very aloof, turning her nose up at seemingly everyone save for Wendy. She also tries to get Wendy to shy away from her timid personality, scolding her often for it (which is ironic considering she's not very sociable herself).

As she learns about her mission as an Exceed, she is shocked and sad. She displayed a troubled look when she thought about her mission, later revealed to be a prophecy involving Extalia's demise due to her ability to see the future which she inherited from her mother.

Happy instantly has taken a liking to her at first sight, but she at first despises him. Later, when they learn the "truth" of the mission he defends her by saying they are Mages of Fairy Tail, not puppets, and she starts accepting him after seeing his determination to save their friends as well as from seeing him showing a more serious and brave side (earlier she refereed to him as male cat and ignored his gifts in form of fish). Happy saved Carla when they escaped when she almost fell out of a wagon, and she saved him from the Edolas Royal Army soldiers by taking a blast aimed for him. She also has no doubts and extreme confidence when Happy flies off on his own. When Lily was mentioned as being the strongest out of their group, she put up a smirk and tempted Happy into having a match against him. In recent chapters, she has been shown to smile more, usually with Happy near by, and even laughed when Happy pointed out Lily's cute side.

Her Guild Card also told that she likes Darjeeling Tea and doesn't like tomcats.

History
Carla's home world is Edolas, kingdom of Extalia, and she's one of the Exceed. While in her egg, Carla's power of precognition activated. She mistakenly believed she had a mission to go to Earth Land to kill a Dragon Slayer. In actuality, the discussion she heard was a lie to the people of Edolas, to cover up the Queen's plan to save the Exceed race, as she knew Extalia would be destroyed. Sometime before the start of the series before Carla was born, she was taken away from her mother, Queen Shagotte, to be sent through the Anima to escape a future disaster. One day Wendy found her egg, and when she was born she saw visions involving the Royal Army of Edolas. Since her birth, she kept on believing she was sent to kill Wendy.

Oración Seis arc
Carla is introduced no sooner then after Wendy at the alliance between Fairy Tail Guild, Lamia Scale Guild, Blue Pegasus Guild, and Cait Shelter. She does most of the talking for the two, imploring to the alliance that Wendy is powerful despite her appearance. After the matter settled, the group discuss who the Oración Seis are and their plan to stop them, then headed off to find them. Charlotte dragging a hesitant Wendy along. When the alliance unexpectedly find their target, she stays with Wendy and Happy as the three watch the others fight and get trounced by the Oración Seis. When Brain spots Wendy and grabs her, Wendy tries to reach for Charlotte but grabs Happy by mistake as the two are kidnapped. After being saved from death by Jura Nekis and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki, the group notice Erza Scarlet been poisoned causing the members to argue among themselves on how to handle the situation. Charlotte however is the one to calm everyone down, revealing that Wendy is the Sky Dragon Slayer and her healing Magic could fix the problem. But to rescue her the group has to work together to achieve their goal. The others agree and rally together before splitting up to find their kidnapped comrades.

Carla sticks with Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster as they explore the area, Natsu taking the time to ask Charlotte about Wendy's Dragon Slayer Magic before the three are ambushed by members from the Naked Mummy Guild (whom the Oración Seis had allied themselves with). Charlotte hangs back as the Fairies fight, surprised at how reckless they are.

Soon the bunch reach an cave entrance to the Oración Seis base, but come into confrontation with Racer. Gray holds him off while Natsu and Carla enter the cave to look for their friends. They find them but also see that Wendy has resurrected Jellal as well much to Charlotte's shock that Wendy used her Magic so rashly. Wendy faints from overexertion and Jellal leave the cave after knocking down Natsu and Brain. When Natsu recovers and tries to go after Jellal. Charlotte roughly reminds him of saving Erza first which he grudgingly agrees to. The two leave the cave with Happy and Wendy in tow but are knocked out of the air by Racer when he spots them during his battle with Gray. Charlotte and Happy are both knocked out from the fall, forcing Natsu to grab them both and run while Gray continues hold off Racer.

Natsu takes her and the others to Erza so Wendy could heal her. When Erza runs off to find Jellal and Natsu chases her, Carla joins Happy, Hibiki Laytis, Lucy and Wendy to follow Natsu. They find Natsu stuck on a raft and are confronted by Oración Seis' Angel. Charlotte was asked to take Wendy to safety as the others begin to battle Angel. Sitting on a mountain side, Charlotte comforts Wendy and listens to her as she explains her past with Jellal. When Nirvana's second stage appear she along with Wendy are caught up as its spider-like legs come out of the ground. She carries Wendy away who then says they should go up to Nirvana too.

The two arrives at Nirvana and decided to rest when they noticed that Nirvana is heading towards their guild, Cait Shelter. After Jura defeated Brain, Carla and Wendy arrives and tells them that Nirvana is walking towards Cait Shelter. After healing Natsu and Happy, Wendy loses hope of saving the guild when Natsu promises her that he would save the guild in return for her healing him. She followed Wendy when the latter thinks that Jellal can stop Nirvana.

While looking for Jellal, Carla was forced to land due to exhaustion. The two then continues to look for Jellal on foot, using Wendy's enhanced sense of smell. Wendy and Carla manages to find Erza and Jellal. Wendy was disappointed when Jellal still doesn't recognize her, but Erza tells her that Jellal's memories have been damaged. Carla asks Jellal if he knows how to stop Nirvana, but Jellal says no. Zero then orders Nirvana to fire but it misses because of the combined efforts of Lyon, Sherry, Ren, Eve and Hibiki, who manages to get Christina working again. Hibiki, piloting the ship, telepathically details how to stop Nirvana: destroy the six lacrima crystals powering it simultaneously. Zero interrupts, using telepathy himself, saying that their plan is futile as he stands at one of the crystals and will prevent anyone trying to destroy it. Carla along with the others, desperately calls on to Natsu and the others who were defeated by Zero and their calls were answered when the four stands up to fight once more.

Carla accompanies Wendy to the sixth lacrima. It was revealed that Jellal entrusted Wendy with his job to destroy the lacrima as he goes to help Natsu. Wendy summons her Magic power and prays to Grandeeney to lend her her power.

Edolas arc
Later, once Nirvana is defeated, she joins Fairy Tail along with Wendy, where she is called "female Happy," to her displeasure. When Wendy asks her how she likes the guild, she seems unimpressed.

Carla begins showing open hostility to Happy when he tries again to offer her a fish, to which she responds that she doesn't like fish and he should leave her alone. She runs outside, and Happy follows her to find out what was wrong and what he did. She tells him that he didn't do anything wrong, but that he can't protect Natsu like she protects Wendy. She says that Happy doesn't know what he is.

Later, Wendy goes after her and tells her that she should treat the members of Fairy Tail better, but their conversation is interrupted when Mystogan approaches them, wishing to speak to Wendy. He reveals that he was the one to give her to the Cait Shelter Guild seven years ago, and used the name Jellal because he was new to "this world." He expresses a desire to save Wendy from Anima, telling both of them that everyone in Fairy Tail and Magnolia Town is going to die. Wendy runs back to the guild to warn everybody.

After the town disappears, Carla finds Wendy just after it is revealed that Natsu is safe. There, she explains to them and Happy that the King of Edolas is using the hyper-dimensional Anima spell to bring all the Magic of Magnolia Town to the dried-up world of Edolas. She reveals that both her and Happy are from there, and were born on Earth Land with a mission already in their bones. However, she does not reveal what it is. After Natsu convinces her to bring them to Edolas to save everyone, she makes them promise not to ask her more about the mission, not to ask her to be a guide, and to kill her and Happy if there is a chance of them betraying Natsu and Wendy. Before anyone can ask any more, she flies Wendy to Edolas through the leftover Anima spell, her wings enabling her to do so. Happy follows with Natsu and they make it through, flying over the bizarre world. The four discover a warehouse after learning their Magic works differently here, only to find a version of the Fairy Tail guild in which everyone has inverted personalities.

After spending a bit of time at the Edolas Fairy Tail, Carla realizes that it is not the same guild as the Earth Land Fairy Tail, but rather an alternate version of it. And she deduces that the Earth Land Fairy Tail is probably in the Royal City. The Group travel to the location and find Earth Land Lucy, who apparently still has access to all her zodiac key Magic. The Earth Land Magic users see that the lachrymal crystal that contains everyone's essence and Magic is under heavy guard and there is nothing they can do. Carla puts froward a plan where the Mages would travel through an abandoned coal mine to the royal bed chamber and use Gemini to copy the kings knowledge of the giant lacrima and how to release their friends. They are ambushed by the Edolas version of Erza and captured. Then, much to everyone's shock, all of the soldiers bow to Happy and Carla and call them the Exceed, congratulating them on leading the Mages into the trap.

Carla and Happy meet up with other Exceeds and learn of their true mission. They were originally sent to kill Dragon Slayers but at the last minute, their mission was changed to capturing the dragon slayers for their unique Magical energy. Realizing she completed her mission even though she did not intentionally want to, she breaks down in tears for what she has done. Just as she was about to lose faith, Happy stands up for her despite not remembering the mission or who he really is. He explains they are nobody's puppets and that they are still Mages of Fairy Tail. This makes her have a glimmer of hope and even makes her call Happy by his name for once instead of Male Cat. Happy grabs Carla and decided that they will rescue their friends themselves, causing a rebellion against the kingdom and the guards tries to capture them as they are escaping. They hide in a wooden cart to escape the guards but the cart rolls downhill and they end up on a field where they meet an unnamed exceed. The exceed recognizes them as rebels but still decides to shelter them telling them to hide in his house where he resides with his wife. Later on all four of them have a conversation about bonds and friends. After the conversation ends, Happy and Carla make up their minds to save Natsu, Wendy, and the guild. With their confidence restored in the friendships they hold with Natsu, Wendy, and the rest of the guild, they are finally able to fly into the sky.

After returning to Edolas, they manage to save Lucy from the hands of Erza's counterpart. Carla tries to exploit her lack of information and presents herself as Extalia's princess and a daughter of Queen Shagotte. She then tricks Erza into revealing the location of Natsu and Wendy, then tries to get her releasing Wendy and Natsu, which almost succeeds. Unfortunately, the rest of the royal guard arrives, and Pantherlily informs Erza that Carla and Happy are the "fallen" (traitors). All three attempt to escape, and Carla asks Lucy if she's angry at them. Lucy is very surprised by this question as she really doesn't know for what she should be angry for. Carla says that it is their fault that she got caught in the first place, and Lucy replies that they had came to save her, and then she adds that she is more surprised by the fact that Carla is a princess. Carla then reveals that it was a bluff, and Happy says that it was like her to do so. Unfortunately, the group is then attacked by Extalia troops and Edolas Militia from both the sky and ground. However, Faust decides that this is the perfect moment to use code ETD, which turns the Extalia troops into a lacryma. Making use of the confusion, the group escapes into the West Tower to save Natsu and Wendy. However, they are intercepted by Edolas Erza again on the way there, and she throws her spear into the ground, creating a large explosion that injures Happy, Carla and Lucy. Despite her injuries, Carla immediately demands to know where Wendy is, and she becomes even more distraught after hearing Wendy scream for help. As Edolas Erza raises her weapon to kill Carla, saying that it doesn't matter since they are going to be killed, Happy then steps in to protect Carla. Thankfully, Earth Land Erza and Gray appear, bashing the soldiers, and Carla is shocked as to how they managed to make it there.

While heading towards where Natsu and Wendy are, she learns that dragon slayer Magic can be used to release anyone trapped in the lacrima. Happy flies towards Gajeel since he knows where the lacrima crystal is located. She doesn't scold or worry about Happy leaving on his own, and has full confidence that he will be fine. She later arrives at the room where Natsu and Wendy are and finds them unconscious. However Gray manages to feed them some medicine he got from Mystogan and they regain consciousness. Later Wendy tells her and the others about Faust's plan of using the lacrima where everyone is trapped in as a bomb, to crash into and destroy Extalia.

When Natsu shows up, the group decides to split into two. Wendy tells Carla that the two of them are going to stop the lacrima from hitting Extalia. Charlie does not agree saying she doesn't care about the Exceed. Wendy just tells her that it doesn't matter who they are since they are still living creatures making Carla agree with her.

Wendy and Carla have arrived on Extalia, and try to persuade everyone to evacuate. However the Exceed, show off their stubbornness and self centered superiority by saying that the Queen will protect them, and that they are of higher class. However when Wendy mentions Nichiya being turned into a lacrima, everyone gets angry and start throwing rocks at her, and then they start throwing rocks at Carla who is now a fallen. However Wendy, still tries to protect her and tells everyone that she is still one of them despite being a fallen.

As Nadi was defending Wendy and Carla from the angry mob of Exceed, Queen Shagotte showed up and decided to explain the truth to the crowd. While removing her royal clothing and jewels to reveal that she only has one wing, she explained that despite she's the Queen, she's only an Exceed, not a god. As she and the rest of the crowds listened to the Elders saying that Shagotte can predict which and when a certain human will die, Carla screamed back at her for trying to kill off her companions, manipulating her memories and thoughts, and even manipulate her to kill a specific Dragon Slayer before she was even born. Shagotte's only response was giving Carla a sword and asking Carla to give her the capital punishment for her crimes, while telling everyone else to evacuate Extalia.

Then, She and Wendy did their best to try to push back the lacrima bomb along with the other Mages and all the Exceed. They managed to hold off the projectile until Mystogan revealed himself and sent all the trapped Mages home via Anima. When Edolas reinforcements arrive, and Faust with the Dorma Anima, Happy states how it looks like a dragon. Carla, together with Happy, lands Natsu and Wendy to fight it. Natsu tells them to go protect the Exceed as him, Gajeel and Wendy take care of Faust. While riding on her Legion, Erza Knightwalker shows up and blasts Coco's Legion sending it to the ground. Happy grabs onto Lucy, and Carla grabs onto Gray and Coco as they see Erza fight Erza.

Lucy, Coco, Gray, Happy, and Carla fall into a forest and Lucy gets mad for Happy dropping her, but he says she is heavy. Edolas troops show up. The troops spot Carla and Happy and aim to turn them into Lacrima since they are the only two left. Gray attacks and protects them. Lucy summons Loke and Carla and Happy dodge beams of Magic, but Carla jumps in front of one to protect Happy. They start to lose when even more reinforcements arrive, but then Edolas Fairy Tail comes to the rescue and helps them fight. Happy exclaims that their feelings have helped move this world. When Mystogan starts taking all the Magic away from Edolas, the troops lose their Magic weapons and retreat. Everyone panics including Edolas Fairy Tail. Carla and Happy looks around at all the panicking. Finally when all the Magic is gone, all the Earth Land Fairy Tail members start being sucked into the Anima as well returning back to their home. They all say goodbye to Edolas Fairy Tail and Coco. Happy cries realizing he will never see them again.

Returning back to Earth Land, Carla was surprised by Exceeds' arrival to the said place. Carla immediately requested them to go back to Edolas. The Exceeds apologized for their actions back on Extalia such as throwing rocks, but Carla's not mad because of that. She was mad for the mission that the Exceeds had given her. The Exceed Elders and Shagotte explained everything, including Carla's ability to foresee the future, and interpreted as her mission to eliminate the Dragon Slayers. After hearing the truth, and the Exceeds' new resolve, Carla accepted their arrival to Earth Land. However, Carla wondered why she and Shagotte had the same ability, which the Elders and Shagotte wondered in coughs and embarrassment. As the Exceeds are about to leave, Shagotte gave Carla one final hug, saying that they can see each other anytime now. Carla, not knowing why, felt a deep warmth from her, and saw their departure. Then he sees Pantherlily's new form and is shocked to see Lisanna while she hugged him. Lisanna revealed to be actually Earth Land Lisanna and Happy and Natsu were filled with joy. With this, she helps her back to her siblings for a tearful reunion.

Tenrou Island arc
Following their return to the guild, Carla is more open with everyone. She later jokes with Happy and Pantherlily about fighting one-another to see who was stronger.

A few days later while several guild members are taking on jobs, Carla talks with Wendy and Lisanna. She mentions that since she is now aware of her predicting abilities, she has a bit more control over it. Lisanna even asked if she could see who she will marry in the future, but then mentions that she can't predict things too far way. She instead demonstrates by predicting a conversation Macao and Wakaba will be having soon.

The next day, shortly after the master announces the candidates who have the chance to become an S-Class Mage by competing in the S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial, Carla has a very disturbing vision in where she witnesses a crying Cana, a frightened Natsu, a hand, and the face of a mysterious boy. She then wonders who he is. As she walks with Wendy, Carla worries about someone asking Wendy to become a trial partner. Wendy tells her that since she is a newcomer to the guild probably no one would do so. Mest Gryder then appears behind them, and introduces himself as Mystogan's disciple. He wants Wendy to be his partner for the trial. Carla tries to stop Wendy to no avail, Wendy decided to help Mest as a way to repay Mystogan.

After the first exam started, Carla and Pantherlily fly towards Tenrou Island using a map. While there Carla, greatly expresses how stubborn Wendy was for not talking to her for one week and how she clearly told her not to get involved with him after his initial appearance and personality. While flying, Pantherlily mentions how something was strange about Mest saying he was Mystogan's disciple.

Carla and Pantherlily find Wendy and Mest just as the signal flare is sent up, signifying an attack. Together, she and Pantherlily confront Mest and ask him what his motives are and who he is. They eventually learn that he is a member of the Magic Council who plans on getting dirt on Fairy Tail, just as one of the Grimoire Heart members, Azuma, reveals himself to them. Pantherlily tells the others to stand back and prepares to fight.

As Pantherlily and Azuma do battle, Carla gives him directions to aid him in combat. Shortly after, the entire group is defeated by one of Azuma's strongest attacks, Tower Burst. Carla is knocked unconscious next to Wendy. As Natsu and Happy arrive, Carla wakes up and informs them that the enemy is Grimoire Heart. Soon after, they see Caprico in the sky releasing bubbles, which Grimoire Heart members emerge from. As Natsu and Happy take care of the enemies in their vicinity, Carla notes that Wendy does not even have enough Magic to restore herself. Eventually, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Zancrow arrives, and while fighting Natsu, Carla notices Natsu is unable to eat his flames. Carla is eventually burned along with the rest of the cats and Wendy during the fight.

After Makarov and Natsu's battle with Zancrow has concluded, Wendy and the cats are seen over the unconscious Natsu and barely conscious Makarov, with Wendy trying to heal them. After Natsu wakes up and asks them where Makarov is, she tells him that Makarov can't speak at the moment. He then picks up a familiar scent of a former enemy that he fought on Galuna Island and walks off, despite the cats' protests.

After some time, and the return of Natsu, Lucy and Happy, Doranbolt eventually appears before everyone. Carla is shocked when Doranbolt proposes to help Fairy Tail, but she agrees with everyone else when they state they can take care of their own problems.

Carla comes back from her scouting mission and informs Natsu and the others that Pantherlily was at camp with the injured. With this information, they move out, with Natsu carrying Makarov on his shoulders. Later, she, along with Lucy, Happy, Wendy and Natsu, is confronted and beaten in one blow by Grimoire Heart member Bluenote Stinger.

Carla is surprised when Cana Alberona arrives and fights Bluenote. She watches as Cana is overpowered by Bluenote and is seen relieved and happy when Gildarts arrives to stop him from killing her.

After Gildarts' arrival he orders everyone to get away, and the force from Gildarts and Bluenote clashing sends Carla and the others flying. After realizing that they'd only be in Gildarts way they all decide to leave. Later when Azuma destroys the Great Tenrou Tree, Carla collapses along with the other members of Fairy Tail. After Erza defeats Azuma, Carla and the others return to the camp and discover their injured friends. Wendy tries to heal them using her Magic, but Carla and Happy disagree with the idea since she already exhausted her Magical Power and suggests that she rests for a while.

While at the camp, Carla and Happy comment on Panther Lily's fear of lightning, making light fun of him. Carla then moves out with the others as they go to attack Master Hades. Carla goes to confront Hades at the boat belonging to Grimoire Heart, along with Happy, Pantherlily, Gray, Wendy, Natsu, Lucy, and Erza. After Hades challenges the rest of Fairy Tail, Natsu asks the cats to search around Grimoire Heart's Airship to make sure it wouldn't be able to take off during battle. Carla agrees and tells Wendy to be careful, before she sets off with Happy and Lily. While Team Natsu fights Hades, the cats are interrupted by the sound of thunder. Pantherlily gets scared again, thinking the ship was soundproof at first. Carla and Happy tell him to settle down as they continue searching in the ship. When Laxus arrives, the part of the ship the cats were on starts to spark with electricity. Happy and Pantherlily then both get scared thinking their falling. Carla then tells both of them to calm down.

As the cats continue to search the ship they crawl through a vent. Happy looks down through one of the vent cages and sees something and claims it was "alive". Carla, Pantherily, and Happy all stare at it in shock. The cats go into the room. Carla looks at the supposed power source and says it doesn't look like one at all. Just then,a group of Grimoire Heart members enter the room and attack the cats. Carla and Happy agree to try to stop the power source, as Pantherlily fights off the Grimoire Heart members. Carla and Happy start pulling on chains and anything they can find, in an attempt to mess with the power source.

While Natsu clashed with Hades for the final time, Happy and Carla managed to kill the power source, which turned out to be Hades's real heart. With Hades's heart destroyed he lost his Magic. Afterwards, they run out of the airship, being chased by Grimoire Heart members. Happy calls out for help to Team Natsu, but they are all out of Magic. Just then, Makarov, along with other wounded Fairy Tail members show up, and scare the rest of Grimoire Heart off. The group all cheer for their victory.

Later on, Wendy and Carla go spy on the Thunder God Tribe and Laxus. Wendy is nervous about meeting Laxus, until Erza comes over, and convinces her to forget the rumors she heard about him, and to go greet him. Wendy loses her timidness and agrees to go. Everything is disrupted when the "The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse", Acnologia, lands on Tenrou Island, and goes on a rampage, attacking the guild members, and destroying the island. Carla and Wendy runs with the rest of the guild towards their ship to escape. As they run, Carla asks Wendy if she can communicate with dragons. Wendy says she cannot speak the dragons tongue, but dragons should be able to understand human words. When Makarov fends off the guild from the dragon, Carla, along with the rest of the guild, endures Makarov's final order to leave him behind and escape.

After everyone on the island shortly returns to attack Acnologia and save Makarov, Carla watches with Pantherlily and Happy, as the dragon flies into the air. As the dragon prepares its final attack to destroy the island, all the Fairy Tail members hold hands, as Tenrou Island is destroyed by Acnologia's Dragon Roar.

X791 arc
Carla along with the rest of the others return to the Fairy Tail Guild after being found by Bisca, Alzack, Jet, Droy, Max, Warren and the Trimens from Blue Pegasus. She watches as Mavis Vermilion reveals that she was the one who saved them and then disappears. She, along with the other returning members, is welcomed back by Romeo.

After realizing the power of Fairy Tail, even with its core members, is not strong enough to compete in the current era, Carla travels with Wendy, Happy, Lucy, Natsu and Gray to Porlyusica's House in an attempt to buy something to increase their Magical Power quickly. Porlyusica quickly turns them away and shouts how she hates humans. After running away, Carla grows concerned over Wendy, and asks if she had met Porlyusica before. Although she hasn't, Wendy tells everyone Porlyusica reminded her a lot about Grandeeney.

Later, they try to compare Grandeeney and Porlyusica and try to explain why they seem alike. Porlyusica herself appears while the converse and explains that she is not Grandeeney but her Edolas counterpart. She hands Wendy a Sky Magic book containing spells that Grandeeney was not able to teach Wendy as Grandeeney once asked her to do. Wendy thanks her and the group returns to the guild.

The group hears about the upcoming Grand Magic Games from the other members which will be held in three months. Psyched with the opportunity to become Fiore's Number one guild again, they head off to train. Carla tags along with Team Natsu, Juvia, Levy and Wendy to their training by the beach. Carla swims in the ocean with Happy and later joins the girls in the hot bath while looking at the stars, though they are interrupted by the boys who tried to peep.

On the second day of their training, Virgo pops out of the ground and informs the group that the Celestial Spirit World is in the danger of being destroyed and that the Celestial Spirit King wants all of them delivered there. Upon arriving, they marvel at its beauty and they meet the Celestial Spirit King who informs them it was a joke to get them to come there and celebrate their freedom from the time freeze on Tenrou Island. The group indeed parties without a second thought. Carla and Happy hang out with the army of Nikoras during the party. After the day ends, they are sent back to Earth Land only to discover that a day in the Celestial Spirit World is equal to three months on Earth Land, completely eliminating their training time and leaving them with only five more days until the Games.

While the team mopes around the beach, depressed, a pigeon lands on Erza's head with a message inviting them to go to a suspension bridge in the West Woods. They arrive at the bridge, which fixes itself before them, and after they cross it they meet Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy. After a brief reunion, Ultear decides to increase everyone in Fairy Tail's power by activating their "Second Origin" with her Arc of Time in exchange for investigating a strange Magical force surrounding the Magic Games in their place. Carla and Happy, however, do not take part in the same treatment and are left to watch and wait until the pain caused by the Magic in the others has gone away.

Magic and Abilities


Aera (翼 Tsubasa): Much like Happy, Carla can also use Aera, allowing her to sprout wings on her back and fly. She is strong enough to carry one person while in flight.

Precognition: Carla has the same ability to predict what and when something will happen as her mother, Shagotte. She is the only other Exceed to have this ability.

Wendy Marvell
Wendy is Carla's inseparable companion. Ever since Carla was born she has always been around Wendy. Haunted by her false mission to one day destroy Wendy, Carla had become very protective over her. Carla, knowing the power of Wendy's Magic, is always warning Wendy not to overuse her powers. Even though Carla is very strict towards Wendy, she shows great compassion and love for her still. Wendy has been known to challenge Carla though, like when she was being mean towards Happy, and when Wendy stopped talking to Carla when she partnered with Mest. Carla and Wendy's closeness is similar to Natsu and Happy's, as they both look out for each other.

Happy
When Carla first meets Happy she refuses to talk to him, and thinks of herself better than him. This hatred is so extreme Carla refuses to call Happy by his name. This hatred may have been due to the fact that Happy had no knowledge of his homeland, Edolas and Carla was mad that Happy didn't know he was sent to kill Natsu. Ever since Happy stood up for Carla in Extalia, Carla has begun to like Happy more as she smiles and plays around with him.

Queen Shagotte
Carla and Shagotte have a complicated relationship. Carla initially blamed the queen for her bringing Wendy to Edolas. Shagotte, knowing she caused Carla a lot of pain was willing to let Carla take revenge by ending the queens life. Carla refused and told Shagotte not to give up on herself so easily. Carla was able to inspire the the queen and all of Extalia to save their country. Although Carla does not know Shagotte is her mother, she felt a special warmness when they hugged after the events in Edolas.
