Toby Horhorta is a Mage of the Lamia Scale Guild and subsequently a member of Team Lyon.

Appearance

Toby is a lean-built, mildly muscular young man of average height with distinctive animal features: he’s got a pair of feline or canine ears sitting on his head, a small dark nose and a lower face which is coloured differently from the rest of his body, bearing resemblance to a canine or leonine muzzle. It’s not clear whether such features are meant to mirror a lion, a dog or a cat; however, it is known that they are merely decorative, as Toby himself said to Yuka Suzuki.[1] He has got shoulder-length, straight brown hair, large round eyes with black pupils and dark eyebrows. Both of his biceps are adorned by tattoos, somehow reminiscent of runes: the right one bears several symbol placed one under the other, while the other is adorned by a single, more elaborated one.[2] The 7-years time skip doesn't seem to have changed Toby's appearance much, with the only differences being slightly more prominent muscles and an elongated face.[3]

Toby is always seen bare-chested. He initially wore an extremely loose pair of pants with mildly torn hems, held up by a long belt covered in many rhombs, with the part left out from its plain rectangular buckle hanging down. Such pants bore a large, dark shield-shaped logo emblazoned on the right knee: this depicted a stylized skull, bearing ears similar to Toby’s own ones, with a pair of bones crossed below it, most likely tibias. The whole symbol was highly reminiscent of a Jolly Roger. Toby had a red collar covered in hollow studs circling his neck, and donned a pair of simple dark shoes, each adorned by a light, stylized footprint, similar to that of a cat, or maybe a small dog.[2] After the return of the Fairy Tail members who were stuck on Tenrou Island, Toby is shown wearing a pair of less loose pants, paired with a light belt which, on the front, bears a dark cloth with light edges hanging from it. Two semicircular, horizontal bands are secured to the cloth, attached to it on both sides by buttons, and covering Toby's legs from the ankles to the upper part of his thighs are dark leggins with light upper edges. Toby seems to retain his old collar, but now added a long chain hanging on his chest, to which a dark sock with lighter parts is attached. He's also shown with a pair of simple sunglasses kept on his forehead.[4]

Personality

Toby possesses some peculiar traits. He’s known for often saying “Oooon” casually, even when greeting others or as a comment of sort. He also has the tendency to angrily shout at others for the most trivial reasons.[5] He seems to be easily fooled, having been tricked by Natsu into pricking himself with his nails,[6] but also proud and confident in his abilities: he openly claimed to be stronger than Yuka after the latter’s defeat,[7] and when he does something wrong, he tries to stop it from spreading by asking whoever he told about it to not tell anyone else.[8] He also appears to be somewhat sensitive, or maybe to easily grow attached to people, having been shown crying when Team Natsu left Galuna Island; while doing so, he claimed that he wasn’t, in fact, crying, likely due to his pride.[9]

History

The only known history about him is that his family was one of the victims of the demon Deliora. It was for this reason that he joined up Lyon in the hope of destroying the demon once and for all.[10]

Synopsis

Galuna Island arc

Toby and yuka talking

Toby and Yuka appear

Toby is first seen accompanied by Yuka. The two are investigating the basement of the Moon Temple when Sherry arrives and tells them that intruders (Team Natsu) have infiltrated the island and defeated her pet rat, Angelica. The trio decided to look for the intruders before Reitei Lyon arrives with the objective to kill them since they saw Deliora.[11] Toby, Yuka and Sherry failed to find the intruders. Reitei Lyon arrives and the three are seen accompanying him. Lyon inquires about Deliora and the Moon Drop ritual, and then orders the three to destroy the village.[12] Just as the three were about to head out, Team Natsu reveals themselves and attacked. However, Lyon tells them to go and that he can take care of himself.[13]

He is seen together with Yuka and Sherry, on board Angelica who was carrying a giant container of acid jelly. Sherry orders Angelica to spill the jelly over the village but Natsu used his Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame to save the villagers. With their plan failed, the three Mages decided to confront Team Natsu on the ground.[14] As the Mages prepare to fight, the villagers leaves the village carrying the unconscious Gray. Sherry and Angelica went after them, while Lucy was accidentally caught by Angelica's claw. Trying to make Angelica stop, Lucy tickles her causing the three of them to fall to the forest. Happy went after them, leaving Natsu to take on Yuka and Toby.[15]

Foolery of Toby

Natsu tricks Toby

Yuka tells Toby to stand down, wanting to battle Natsu alone only to lose in the end.[16] Toby proceeds to fight against Natsu next, claiming himself much stronger then Yuka. However, he is stupidly tricked into rubbing his head with his paralyzing nails and ends up knocking himself out.[17]

Toby later recover and reports to Lyon of Sherry Blendy and Yuka's defeats before Natsu tilts the ruins they're in to keep the ritual from happening.[18] However Zalty, another of Lyon's allies, re-tilts the ruins back into position.[19] As Natsu and later Gray Fullbuster battle Lyon, Toby initiates and complete the ritual despite the fact it take more then one person to do it. Since the ritual is nearly finished though, his power is more then enough.[20] Erza Scarlet tries to stop him but its too late as the moon drip begins to melt the ice.[21] As Erza holds him at sword-point, Toby tells them that the reason for all of this was to avenge their families that had been the victims of Deliora.[22]

X791 arc

Yuka and Tobi X791

Toby angry at Lucy's statement

Toby comes over to Fairy Tail along with Lyon, Jura, Sherry, and Yuka and is glad over the safe return of all the Fairy Tail Mages who disappeared on Tenrou Island seven years ago. When Lucy asks if Blue Pegasus has become the most powerful guild in Fiore after she is informed Lamia Scale is number two, Toby gets mad shouting that of course they aren't.[26]

At the Grand Magic Games Toby is part of Team Lamia Scale, along with Lyon, Yuka, Jura, and Sherry's cousin, Chelia.[27]

Magic and Abilities

Moon Drip (月の滴 (ムーンュー・ドリップ) Tsuki no Shizuku (Mūnū Dorippu)): After the acolytes Lyon was using to perform such spell couldn't continue, Toby was shown taking their place. Moon Drip is known for using the power from the moon to nullify Magic; it was powerful enough to dispel even Ur's Iced Shell.[20]

Nails Growing: Living up to his animal theme, Toby is capable of elongating his fingernails and turning them sharp, something which makes them similar to claws. Combining them with his special Paralysis Powder: Mega Jellyfish, Toby can shock and paralyze his opponents on contact. Due to this, his fighting style seems to rely around melee combat, with him lunging at his opponents and trying to slash them with his nails.[6][28]

Enhanced Durability: Toby has proven himself to be quite durable, receiving a powerful headbutt from Natsu, something which sent him to the ground, and gaily jumping back up moments after with no visible injury on himself.[29] He was also shown enduring a casual burst of flames from Natsu without much trouble.[30]
