Wendy Marvell

Wendy Marvell is a young female Dragon Slayer mage, formerly belonging to the Cait Shelter Guild. After the events surrounding Nirvana unfold, she officially joins the Fairy Tail Guild. She learned her Dragon Slayer abilities from Grandine.

History
Wendy was raised by the dragon Grandine for some time. However, one day Grandine suddenly disappeared and left Wendy alone at around the age of five. Same time later she ran into Mystogan, who called himself Jellal. Mystogan allowed her to travel with him for a month, although they were both hopelessly lost anyway. One day, she heard Mystogan utter something known as "Anima" and deemed it too dangerous for Wendy to travel with him further. He left her in the care of a close guild, Cait Shelter, where she has been ever since.

Appearance
Wendy is a cute little girl with long, dark blue hair and brown eyes. Like all the Dragon Slayers, her canine teeth are a bit longer than other people. She's generally wears loose fitting dresses with sandals.

Personality
Wendy has a very shy and polite personality. She is always seen with her cat Charle, they have a very good relationship much like Happy and Natsu Dragneel. She is very eager to try and make friends. Wendy also cares greatly for the guild members, and even suggested going to where the Exceed were to try and get them to evacuate.

Wendy has a habit of saying that she will try to be of any help whenever she can.

Tower of Heaven arc
She is first mentioned in a conversation between the dragons Igneel and Grandine in which the latter says a more "friendly relationship" could be established the next time she and Natsu Dragneel meet.

Oración Seis arc
Wendy is Cait Shelter's delegate sent to the alliance meeting of the Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale Guild, and Blue Pegasus Guild along with the cat mage Charle; much to the shock of all there due to the fact that she is only a child. She tells the delegates there that although she has no particular combat prowess she is able in support magic. Soon the alliance sets off to find Oración Seis after being briefed about them and quickly find their target (or moreover they find them after the Blue Pegasus' airship is destroyed). Wendy quickly hides herself behind a rock and stays there for the duration of the battle as she watches the others get trounced by the Oración Seis. Just as the Oración Seis's leader Brain is about to finish them off he spots Wendy and halts his attack, suddenly shaken at the sight of her. Wendy and Happy (who was grabbed by mistake) are then kidnapped by Brain seconds later. Charle states that Wendy is the Dragon Slayer of the Sky and she can heal Erza Scarlet who had been poisoned by Cobra. Later, Brain reveals her unique ability of healing to the others and has Racer bring a large coffin to her. Brain plans to use her healing magic to heal whatever was inside of that coffin but Wendy refused to help anyone that is "bad". The person in the coffin turned out to be no other than Jellal Fernandes, who knows the location of Nirvana but is in his unconscious state. Believing Jellal to be Mystogan and hearing his crimes, she has internal conflicts of her and other people's perspective on Jellal as being good or evil, she receives five minutes to decide. Natsu arrives at the scene with Charle only a moment too late as Jellal is revived. Wendy collapses not too soon by exhaustion from healing him. Using Jellal's escape, Natsu takes the unconscious Wendy along with Charle to heal Erza. They are intercepted by Racer, who is held off by Gray Fullbuster. Eventually Natsu rendezvous with Lucy Heartfilia and Hibiki Laytis. Natsu wakes Wendy up then begs her to save Erza. She gladly agrees and does so though still a little remorseful in reviving Jellal. She, along with everyone else, suddenly notice a pillar of light erupt from the ground and instantly realize Nirvana has been activated. After Nirvana was activated she is knocked out by Hibiki in order to prevent her from becoming evil (she blamed herself for resurrecting Jellal Fernandes) due to Nirvana's influence.

Hibiki carries her as Lucy, Charle, Happy and he follows Natsu and Erza who are heading for Nirvana. However their stopped by Angel who attacks them, Hibiki is wounded and Lucy orders Charle to take Wendy away for fear of her getting recaptured. It is later shown that Wendy and Charle hide themselves for the time being, while Lucy faces of agaisnt Angel. Wendy having regain consciousness though still feeling remorse for not being more useful. As Charle and she talk, Wendy reveals her acquaintance with Jellal and the rumors she heard about his Siegrain half. She however still believes Jellal is the kind young man she once knew(it was actually Mystogan). When Nirvana's second stage is activated, she and Charle are caught in when its legs appear from out of the ground. Charle carries away, and Wendy says they should head for Nirvana. As they land to take a rest, Wendy realizes that Nirvana might be heading toward Cait Shelter. With this, she goes to find Natsu and she cures him of poison and she uses a spell to temporarily cure his motion sickness.

Wendy still believes that its her fault that Nirvana got activated and thinks that Jellal might know something on how to stop it. So she tells the others that she has some clue and ran off. Both Wendy and Charle are looking for Jellal while reassuring herself of Nirvana's destination to Cait Shelter, but Charle is too exhausted to fly, so they continue on foot. Wendy and Charle are then seen rushing towards Erza and Jellal looking relieved while Zero is introduced as Brain's second persona, and easily defeats Natsu, Gray and Lucy. Zero activates the Nirvana and when it seems like all was lost for Cait Shelter, the rest of the allied mages manage to temporarily stop Cait Shelter from being destroyed. With that, Hibiki reveals a way to destroy the Nirvana that would require 6 mages that could perform destructive magic. They would need to destroy the Lacrima Crystals located in each leg of the Nirvana, and ultimately putting an end to everything. Natsu, Gray and Lucy rises up once again in order to save Cait Shelter. Along with Erza, Jellal, and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki they total the 6 mages that would be needed.

Determined to destroy the lacrima crystals in each leg, Jellal asks Wendy if she could heal Natsu at any point in time during Natsu's fight with Zero. Wendy cannot use her power so excessively so Jellal secretly goes to where Natsu and Zero are fighting to give Natsu the '''Flame of Rebuke. '''Because of this, Wendy goes in Jellal's place. All 6 mages manage to destroy the crystals and finally become victorious in stopping the Nirvana from destroying Cait Shelter and the rest of the world. As she finds both Natsu and Jellal safe (thanks to Hoteye), she rushes over to hug Natsu and thanks him for keeping his promise to protect her guild from Nirvana. Unfortunately the celebration doesn't last long as the new Magic Council shows up taking both Hoteye and Jellal away, while Natsu and Wendy can only protest at Rahal's cruelty.

Later after the group rest and recover, Wendy and the other girls start to dress up in Nirvit clothing and bonding. Roubaul then personally thanks the Light Team for stopping Nirvana to which Natsu and the Trimens try to celebrate with a party. However Cait Shelter doesn't join in and Roubaul reveals a shocking truth: Cait Shelter is not real. Horrified, Wendy tries to stop Roubaul's spirit from disappearing, but to no avail as her "Cait Shelter" mark disappears. Erza however comforts her and tells her to come with her to Fairy Tail.

On the boat ride to Fairy Tail, she uses Troia again on Natsu so he can enjoy the breeze. But she told him the effects wear off quickly and that repeated continued usage would weaken the effect. Upon arriving at Fairy Tail, she quickly becomes popular since she is cute and a dragon slayer. The guild quickly welcome her and throw her a welcome party for her and Charle.

Edolas arc
A few days later after settling into Fairy Hills, she and the rest of the guild learn about Gildarts Clive and his return. She then takes a liking to talking with Lucy and looks up to her alongside Erza and Mirajane. As they talk about the Dragons' disappearance, she scolds Charle for being mean towards Happy and as she walks with her, she runs into Mystogan, where it is revealed that he is the "Jellal" that traveled with her 7 years ago. Their reunion is short-lived though as Mystogan warns her about Anima and its plot to kill all of Magnolia Town as he tries to save her only.

As she is too late, only she and Natsu are left behind because of their Dragon Slayer powers, here Charle explains about Edolas, a parallel world. Wendy then agrees with Natsu's plans to go to Edolas to save the guild. As she goes there, she becomes amazed as she sees how everyone is so different. She is then shocked when she sees the Edolas version of Lucy. She quickly realizes that everyone is still nice despite being different. She even discovers that she has parallel counterpart. The Edolas version of Wendy explains that the Kingdom in Edolas is after Fairy Tail, as they're considered as a Dark Guild.

Later, she is both shocked and happy that Lucy Ashley is showing them the way to the capital. While on their journey, Wendy and company purchase magical weapons from a black market as she is unable to use her Dragon Slayer Magic in Edolas. As the group is about to be arrested by Royal Soldiers, Wendy opens up a capsule that unleashes a giant tornado, carrying the group away and enabling them to hide from the soldiers. She is then stunned when the group spies the Earth Land Lucy being arrested in place of Lucy Ashley, but they all manage to escape, thanks to Lucy being able to use her keys.

Arriving at the town of Sikka, the group decides to spend the night. Wendy watched and warned Edolas Lucy that Natsu was there as she was going to reveal her body to him, which Edolas Lucy commented that she doesn't mind. The next day, after Edolas Lucy left, she commented how Earth Land Lucy quickly recovered from her fit of her counterpart, leaving with a book about Edolas' history. As they hear the Royal Army will extract the Giant Lacrima in two days, Natsu decides to steal their airship, which left the group a bit speechless. That idea, however, was then rejected by the same person when Wendy reminded that she cannot perform Troia in Edolas. After watching Lucy failed to summon Loke, Wendy and Natsu decides to fight the Royal Army themselves with their weapon fully recharged. They were defeated in matter of moments, however. Almost captured, a four wheeler suddenly showed up and help the group to escape. The man then introduced himself to the group as Natsu the Fireball and takes them to the capital and leaves them.

Later, Wendy is captured by Erza Knightwalker along with Natsu and Lucy. She is then imprisoned, and is shocked to hear that Lucy is to be executed and refuses to believe that Charle and Happy have betrayed them. After that, she and Natsu are hooked up to a stone with a dragon carved onto it, apparently to extract their Dragon Slayer magic properties. She is then rescued by Gray and Lucy, and tearfully tells them that the Dragon Slayer magic is supposed to move the giant lacrima, and is meant to be a bomb to crash into Extalia fusing the Exceed's magic to the Lacrima and creating endless magic for Edolas

When Natsu shows up, the group decides to split into two. Wendy tells Charle that the two of them are going to stop the lacrima from hitting Extalia. Charle 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.

Wendy and Charle 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 Charle 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.

Then, Wendy did her 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 the King revealed his Dorma Anim armored dragon, she, Natsu and Gajeel launched a unified assault that knocked the dragon off it's feet. They then proclaimed that they would handle things while the other protected the cats and dealt with Erza Knightwalker. Wendy casts a spell on Natsu and Gajeel while they fight with the Dorma Anim, making them faster and another one to make them stronger, the king then fires some tracking missiles after Wendy but Natsu intercepts and destroys them. When the king is about to shoot again, Gajeel hits the missiles before launch, but gets hit by the tail of the Dragon Knight. A group of missiles is fired again, but these ones explode before Natsu can hit them. The king gets surprised when Natsu eats the fire of the explosions while Gajeel starts eating the tail of the Dorma. Suddenly the Dorma changes color and the king states that he is going to "Drain all the fighting spirits". The new form of the Dorma Anim grants it a huge increase in power, turning the tide in the king's favor. Gajeel decides to try some different tactics, revealing they hadn't been using full power because they didn't know what could happen. All three of them attacked at once with their respective roars but it had almost no effect. The king proclaims victory, saying that although they have infinite magic, once it runs out it takes awhile to recharge. Natsu gets up saying that he'll use tomorrow's magic. Gajeel gets up too and pins the Dorma Anim's leg down to the ground, telling Natsu to attack and that he was the only one who could do it. Natsu tells Wendy to aim a roar at him to boost his speed and succeeds in piercing through the Dorma Anim.

With Nadi telling Natsu, Gajeel, and her about Mystogan and Pantherlily's conversation, they decide to take the blame and be the evil that Mystogan initially planned to be. Showing on the streets of Edolas, the demonic servant 'Marvell' tried to scare off a young child. The child, however, didn't budge much until servant 'Redfox' helped behind her back, sending the child fleeing.

S-Class Trial arc
Later on, on the welcoming party the guild was having for Lisanna, Wendy notice the change in Juvia's hairstyle, commenting on how sad she looked. She then witnessed another guild fight. Days later she praised Charle for being able to control her future vision's power. As she was walking outside the guild when the briefing ended, Charle commented that she has a bad feeling about the exam and told Wendy that she 'absolutely cannot get involved'. Wendy, being the unconfident girl that she is, answered that nobody would want her to be their partner.

To her surprise, however, Mest showed up and by assuming a strange pose requested that she lend him her power much to Charle's chargin. He then explains that he wants to know more of the world of S class mages and then lies in the icy river while Charlie tells Wendy not to trust such a weirdo but she goes to say she thinks he's a nice guy. This disagreement lead to a week of Wendy not speaking to Charle.

As the participants head towards the island, Wendy explains the the air around the area keeps the temperature high all year. Shortly after the master arrives to explain the rules of the first trial. When the first trial started she and Mest were forced to wait because Fried used a rune on the boat, which prevents everyone from leaving for 5 min. As soon as the rune was released, despite believing to be at a disadvantage, she and Mest disappeared from the boat and arrive on the island before Lucy and Cana. Later she stands over Mest as he awakens to find out that they lost to Gray and Loke and starts to cry thinking she wasn't strong enough to help. Wendy is comforted by Mest; who asks her if she knows why the island is Fairy Tail's holy land and suggests they look around.

Magic and Abilities
Sky Dragon Slayer (天滅竜魔法 Ten Metsuryū Mahō): Wendy is the Dragon Slayer of the Sky, which means that she has the same power as Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox, but with the ability to manipulate air. As stated by Charle, Wendy can eat air, but can't heal as well in polluted areas. Her magic allows her to heal people from the most serious of injuries, even those caused by a dragon, allowing her to use even a kiss to heal other people and can even counteract other magic. Her magic also deals support effect, such as increasing attack and speed.

As she is very young her healing magic drains a lot of energy from her. She fainted after reviving Jellal. Charle often warns her not to use her powers too often.

Spells:


 * Sky Dragon's Roar (天龍の咆哮Tenryuu no Houkou): An air version of Dragon's Roar. When using this attack, she breathes a hurricane-like blast at her target. It is unknown what its strength is, but it was powerful enough to destroy one of Nirvana's Lacrima crystals, so it could be very powerful. So far this is the only offensive ability she has shown.


 * High-leveled Healing Magic: Her powers to manipulate clean air allow her to heal a lot of injuries the others could not. It also could drain poison from Erza's body. Using a lot of energy she can even revive people that are in a half-death-state, such as Jellal.
 * Troia (トロイアToroia): A type of healing magic shaped in the form of a ball which Wendy used to heal Natsu's motion sickness. It's effect is temporary as Natsu is seen to be affected by the boat travel after the effect was over. If she continuously uses it, the effects will become useless.
 * Vernier (バニーア Banīa): A spell that speeds up the movement of the target, including the caster itself, for a short period of time.
 * Arms (アームズ Āmuzu): After reciting an enchantment, the caster then targets a region of the body in which to increase damage output, such as the arms, for a short period of time.

Weapons/Items
Edolas Magic: Air Shatter Cannon: By the time Wendy couldn't use her magic in Edolas, she fought with Edolas magic weapon: air cannon.
