Gray Fullbuster

Gray Fullbuster (グレイ・フルバスター Gurei Furubasutā) is a member of the Fairy Tail guild. He is an 18 year-old ice mage, practicing ice alchemy, the art of molding ice. Due to his training history, he is most comfortable in little clothing and often forgets to wear clothes or quickly takes it off, thus often being accused as an exhibitionist. He and Natsu have a friendly rivalry, and can often be seen fighting one another. Lucy believes the nature of his magic is the reason that he and Natsu constantly bicker. His member stamp is below his collarbone.

History

Much of Gray's history is revealed during the Garuna Island arc. Gray teams with Happy, Lucy and Natsu on an S-Class Mission after being sent to retrieve the trio by the Master. Despite finding the trio and engaging Natsu in a fight to bring them back to the guild house, he quickly succumbs to his curiosity and pursues the mission. The primary antagonist during this arc is Reitei Leon, who is revealed to be Gray's former senior and a student of Gray's teacher, Ur, a powerful ice mage and one who Sieglein claims could have been one of the Ten Great Holy Mages if she were still alive. Ur took in Gray as her student and child after finding him in a destroyed town. Gray's parents and entire town was leveled by the demon Deliora. As result, Gray accepts the training in order to eventually avenge his parents. During this training, Gray picks up his unusual habit of undressing in public.

However, due to Gray's obstinacy, he chooses to prematurely challenge Deliora, leading to Ur's self-sacrifice in order to encase Deliora and protect Gray and Leon. Gray seems to have inherited this similar selfless personality, shown during his two attempts to use Iced Shell (a move which turns the caster into ice) on Leon and Deliora to protect his team.

Magic & Abilities

Gray's ability is called Ice Make, ice magic referred to as a form of magic alchemy. Ice Make allows Gray to form ice into anything he can use. Gray's ice was classified as 'static' by Leon, pertaining to the fact that Gray can only make ice forms of inanimate objects.

Gray's adeptness and strength as an ice mage is quickly shown in the story. During the Lullaby of Death arc, he teams with Natsu and Erza to defeat the demon awakened from the evil spirit from the Lullaby of Death. Members of the League praise his quickness at molding ice. Later in the story, he defeats Jubia, one of the Elemental Four of Phantom Lord. This victory may have been partly influenced by Jubia's liking to Gray. Jubia comments on Gray's skill, shocked that he was able to freeze both her boiling water and the rain. After Phantom Lord's defeat, Jubia secretly spies on Gray, bringing a packed lunch for Gray while he and the guild members are rebuilding the headquarters.

When Loki's identity had been revealed, Gray and his friends went to a holiday trip, shockingly, Jubia secretly spied on him. She even admired Gray's courage to take off his pants and underwear in the sea. She then took her approach to Gray in the casino. While chatting however, she was attacked by Simon, a tall and ruthless mage who specialized in Darkness magic. Gray was able to escape the ambush with Jubia's help, who hid him inside her body.

Later during his fight with the Skull Order guild member, Fukurou, he was able to withstand the heat of Natsu's stolen fire attacks, and was able to freeze the flames, though Gray commented that Natsu had a stronger fire.
