Lucy Heartfilia

For Lucy's Edolas counterpart, see Lucy Ashley.

Lucy Heartfilia (ルーシィ・ハートフィリア Rūshi Hātofiria) is a Celestial Spirit Mage, a member of the Fairy Tail Guild and of its Team Natsu, and the main female protagonist of the series.

Appearance
Lucy has brown eyes and blond hair that is usually tied by ribbons of a variety of colors in a singular bunch to the right side of her head. She has large breasts, and a curvaceous body. Her (presumed) measurements are Bust: 91 cm; Waist: 59 cm; Hip: 88 cm (37in, 23in, 36in). These measurements are approximated slightly different later on with the breasts being 2 less, and the others 1 less cm. Lucy's member stamp is located on the back of her right hand and is pink. Lucy does not consistently wear the same outfit. However, she always has a belt that, along with keeping her skirt up, holds her Celestial Spirit keys and a whip with a love heart-shaped end. She also wears some sort of high heels. She has a striking resemblence to her mother.

Personality
Lucy is a bit of a diva who takes exceptional pride in her looks and magic skill. She is a clever, kind, and caring person. She is very confident in her appearance and sex appeal, often exuding a certain amount of vanity. Despite this superficial attitude, Lucy is passionate for literature and is in the process of writing her own novel about her adventures with Fairy Tail. Aside from her interest in writing and reading prose, she also likes shopping and cooking, she likes assertive men, and her favorite color is blue. She is a member of the Heartfilia family, one of the wealthiest and most influential conglomerate families in the country of Fiore. However, due to her estranged relationship with her father and the death of her mother, Layla Heartfilia, she left home to follow her own path.

Lucy is very kind to her Celestial Spirit, and refuses to use them as shields. She fights alongside them, and treats her spirits as people, while others treat them as tools and objects. She will also go to great lengths to give them happiness, even if it costs her life. Even though she is technically the owner of her spirits, she denies being called that and instead, calls herself their friend.

History
Lucy was originally born into the extremely wealthy Heartfilia family. Her father and mother were originally part of a merchants' guild called 'Love & Lucky' where the two met; they decided to become independent when Lucy's mother, Layla, became pregnant. They chose her name when they noticed that the sign for the guild had the letter 'K' missing, so that it read 'Love & Lucy'; it made an impression on them, so they decided to name their daughter after it.

In her home, Lucy kept a good relationship with the staff in the estate and presumably, her mother, until she passed away when Lucy was around the age of ten in the year X777. However, her father was overly obsessed with his business and money, often neglecting his daughter, resulting in her running away from home just over a year before the beginning of the story.

Macao arc
Lucy is introduced lamenting about the lack of Magic stores in Hargeon. In the only store in the town, she attempts to get a discount via her sex appeal for the Celestial Spirit Nikora, which costs 20,000 jewels, but is angered when the price is only lowered by 1000 jewels.

A ruckus develops near her; curious, she heads towards it, hearing the name of the fire Magic user Salamander (who is an impostor named Bora). When she sees him, she feels her heart beating fast, and slowly moves towards him. This feeling soon ends when Natsu Dragneel and Happy interrupt the proceedings, thinking Bora is the dragon Igneel. They instantly leave, getting attacked by Bora's legion of female fans, and eventually get thrown away by them when Natsu refuses Bora's signature. Lucy walks up to the two, wishing to thank them (by giving them food). She explains that Bora was using the illegal Magic Charm, which attracts people's hearts to the user; Natsu's interruption took away that effect. She goes on to say that she is a Mage looking for a guild, explaining what that is also. Remembering that the two were looking for someone, she asks as to who it is. They reply that it is the dragon Igneel which shocks her, making her remark that such a thing would never be in the town. She goes to leave, but Natsu wishes to thank her by offering Bora's signature, which she dramatically refuses.

Later, on a park bench, she reads about the exploits of the guild Fairy Tail in the Sorcerer Magazine when Bora suddenly appears through the bushes, having eavesdropped on her. He offers to help her join Fairy Tail if she joins his boat party later that night. She agrees, dressing up for the occasion. On the boat, Bora offers her a drink, but she slaps it away, remarking that it is a sleeping drug and that she has no intentions of becoming his girl. However, he soon reveals himself to be a slave trader and plans to sell Lucy along with the other girls on the boat. His goons holding her still, he takes her Celestial Spirit keys and, as they are useless to him, throws them out the window.

Just as Lucy is about to be branded, Natsu suddenly crashes through the roof and Happy helps Lucy escape. Happy's Magical wings soon wear off, and they both drop into the sea, where Lucy dives underwater and miraculously finds her keys. With them, she calls upon her Celestial Spirit Aquarius who, after a warning to never drop the keys again, summons a powerful wave that shipwrecks Bora's boat ashore. Aquarius, however, catches Lucy and Happy in her wave as well and flushes them aboard the boat. From there, Lucy rushes to help Natsu, but he needs no help as he is also a Mage. Using his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, Natsu easily defeats Bora and his goons, but he overdoes it, by destroying a large portion of Hargeon's port. The arrival of the military forces them have to dash quickly away; Natsu grabs onto Lucy and tells her that if she follows him, she can join Fairy Tail.

A day or so later, Lucy arrives at the guild, in awe and mostly shocked at the many varied personalities it contains. A brawl develops in front of her, started by Natsu, and during that brawl, she meets the other members, Gray Fullbuster and Mirajane. She also comments that none of the guild members are acting normal. The brawl is eventually stopped by Fairy Tail's Guild Master Makarov before it escalates into one with usages of Magic. Makarov initially begins to scold the members for their destructive actions, but soon breaks into an inspiring speech about following the way of Fairy Tail. Night falls, and Lucy opts to have her member stamp on the back of her right hand.

Natsu is looking for another job on the guild's request board, but overhears that Macao Conbolt, a Fairy Tail member, has been missing for a week, and his son Romeo wishes Makarov to look for him; Makarov refuses. Natsu punches the board and leaves with Happy. Curious, Lucy asks Mirajane what is wrong with him, and she explains that perhaps Natsu sees his history happening in Romeo; in the past, his foster parent, Igneel the fire dragon, suddenly disappeared. Out of curiosity, she decides to go along with them into the furiously snowing mountains and begins to regret coming because of the sheer cold. Stealing Natsu's blanket and wrapping herself up in it, she then summons her Celestial Spirit Horologium, a clock spirit with a compartment that she can hide in for warmth.

One Vulcan, a monster Macao was subduing, suddenly appears and attacks Natsu before kidnapping Lucy since it likes women. The Vulcan takes her to its cave, where it parades around her until Horologium disappears. As the Vulcan advances, Natsu catches up and demands to know where Macao is. The Vulcan apparently looks as if it's going to tell him, but instead pushes him over a cliff. Lucy, enraged by this, summons the perverted Zodiac spirit Taurus.

But just as the spirit and the Vulcan are about to fight, Natsu reappears, having been saved by Happy, and knocks out Taurus, thinking it is another monster. Natsu then fights and swiftly defeats the Vulcan. Much to their surprise, the Vulcan is actually Macao, who had been "taken over" by the Vulcan's Magic. Having been smashed into the wall, Macao falls through a hole in the wall and is saved from falling down the mountain, thanks to the combined efforts of Natsu, Happy, Lucy and the revived Taurus. Macao, now back up, is found to be seriously wounded, and Natsu resorts to the extreme of burning one of Macao's wounds shut, which brings him back to consciousness. He tells them that he was taken over by the twentieth one, which makes Lucy feel she is no match for them. They return to Magnolia, the town where Fairy Tail is located, and bring Macao back to his son Romeo.

Daybreak arc
As Lucy is settling into her new home, she finds that Natsu and Happy have shamelessly invaded it. While she attacks, then scolds him, Happy sharpens his nails on the wall, distracting her from Natsu, who peeks at her writings. She dives for them, keeping them away from Natsu, and demands that they leave, to which Natsu refuses. Giving up, she offers the two a cup of tea, and teaches them about Celestial Spirits keys and contracts when she summons Plue. Plue apparently suggests that they should form a team, to which Natsu agrees to, as well as Lucy. Their first mission is to steal a book, which involves an owner looking to hire a blond maid, which makes Lucy think Natsu tricked her.

When they arrive in Shirotsume town, Natsu complains of hunger and goes off to a restaurant with Happy, while Lucy leaves them to look around town. She returns in a maid costume, shocking both of them as they had only meant it as a joke. Regardless, they go to the client's house to discuss the mission, and are stunned to discover the reward has been raised by ten times.

Impassioned, they head to Duke Everlue's mansion, where Lucy attempts to be hired, but is rejected for being too ugly for Everlue's taste. With infiltration no longer an option, they resort to invasion, coming through the roof of the mansion. They try to sneak around to find the book, but are quickly found by Everlue's maids, who are instantly defeated by Natsu.

They eventually come across a library, and after a bit of searching, find the book they have been hired to destroy, DAYBREAK. Just as Natsu is about to destroy it, Lucy snatches it off him, exclaiming that it is a book by Kemu Zeleon that she has never seen before and refuses to allow him to burn it. Everlue appears at this moment, diving up from the floor, and after a short appraisal of his own genius, summons the Vanish Brothers to deal with the Fairy Tail Mages.

As this is going on, Lucy reads the book and discovers something within the book that makes her rush off and ask Natsu to buy her some time. She somehow makes it into to the mansion's sewer and through the usage of her Wind-reading glasses, discovers the secret in the book. Everlue suddenly ambushes her, grabbing her arms and threatening to break them unless she tells him the secret. She says nothing, but is released when Happy strikes Everlue in the face.

Lucy and Everlue begin their battle. Lucy reveals Everlue's selfish nature when he tells how he had forced Kemu Zaeleon to make the book about him. Not only that, the book contained a further secret which proved he didn't deserve it. With this declaration, she summons the Celestial Spirit Cancer. Everlue summons his own Celestial Spirit, Virgo, in response, but Natsu accidentally arrives with her, because he grabbed her formerly. At Lucy's request, he punches Virgo into the ground while she and Cancer defeat Everlue.

They return to Kirby's mansion and Lucy gives him back the book. He initially wishes to burn it, much to Natsu's anger, and explains his past and why he wishes to get rid of it. However, just as he is about to burn it, the book bursts into life - the letters rearrange themselves with the book's title, becoming DEAR KABY. Lucy explains that Zaeleon had placed a spell on the book and had written it to his son, Kaby. Much to her dismay, Natsu and Happy then say they cannot accept the reward because they had not specifically done what was asked. While they return on the path home, Natsu realizes that Lucy's earlier protectiveness over her writings was because she was writing a book herself. Embarrassed, she desperately asks for him not to tell anyone.

Lullaby arc
Now back at the guild, Lucy looks for another request poster and while talking to Mirajane, learns of the organization of guilds and the existence of illegal guilds, called Dark Guilds. Natsu frightens her as she talks, then goes on to hurry her to find a new job for them as he and Happy had chose last time. However, she no longer wishes to work with him. Gray explains that she should feel no need to team up with anyone, complimenting her on her work which she explains was really all Natsu. As Natsu and Gray begin to brawl, Loke flirts with her, but quickly runs away when he finds out she is a Celestial Spirit Mage - he then returns to tell Natsu and Gray that the S-Class Mage Erza Scarlet has returned.

She accordingly arrives with the large horn of a demon she has slain, and after scolding several members, turns to Gray and Natsu, who are acting like Happy according to Lucy, and asks them to help her. Although they both refuse, she apparently does not hear them and leaves. The creation of this team is heralded as possibly "The Strongest Team" in Fairy Tail by Mirajane.

Lucy is asked by Mirajane to go along with the group to prevent Gray and Natsu from getting into a fight - which she does by tricking them into believing Erza is coming. When she does finally arrive, Lucy introduces herself and Natsu challenges Erza to a fight after the mission, which she accepts.

They all board the train where, after knocking Natsu out to relieve him from his motion sickness, Erza explains about the mission. She had overheard members of a guild talking about a sealed Magic called Lullaby, and the name Erigor. At the time, she did not remember the name, but she later recalled that he was a member of the Dark Guild Eisenwald. Such people would be up to no good, so the mission she had planned was to walk into Eisenwald and destroy them.

However, as she leaves the train station and continues to explain this, the team realizes they had accidentally left Natsu on the train. They rush back towards the train station where Erza gets Happy to use an emergency stop signal lever to stop the train, and race towards it on a Magical four-wheeled train. Just as they arrive at the train, Natsu crashes out of one of the train's windows and lands headfirst into Gray.

After a bit of convenient amnesia, he informs them that he got attacked on the train by a member of the Eisenwald guild who had a strange flute, with a skull with three eyes. This description jogs Lucy's memory of a story about the cursed flute "Lullaby", which kills anyone who hears it. With this shocking revelation in hand, they rush towards the train station. On the way there, Happy mentions that he meant to tell Lucy something, but had forgotten, and as they try to enter the station, Lucy carries Natsu in - though she causes his motion sickness doing this as she is considered as a means of transport.

Inside, they are confronted by Eisenwald and Erigor, who explains his plan to use the station's loudspeakers to broadcast Lullaby. Distracted by Erigor, Gray and Erza don't notice one of Eisenwald's members, Kageyama, attacking Lucy, but she is saved, thanks to Natsu. Erigor then flees, making Erza order Natsu and Gray to chase after him while she and Lucy would deal with the other enemies. Using her Magic, The Knight, Erza quickly dispatches all of their foes, but one escapes which she calls upon Lucy to give chase to. Lucy, along with Happy, loses sight of him and eventually reconvenes with the others beside a stabbed Kageyama. The two find out that they have been trapped in a barrier of impassable wind, having been tricked by Erigor. Just at this moment, Happy suddenly remembers what he had forgotten earlier: to give Lucy Duke Everlue's gold key, Virgo, as she had asked. Using her digging powers, they all escape through a tunnel; Natsu rushes ahead with Happy to defeat Erigor.

Bringing along the injured Kageyama, Lucy, Erza and Gray travel along the rails and discover that Natsu has defeated Erigor. But, seeing the flute and his chance, Kageyama suddenly makes a break for it with the flute in hand, to the town of Clover to complete his team's original mission of killing all the guild masters. Yet the team is unnecessary, as a pep talk from Makarov convinces Kageyama not to use the flute. They begin to celebrate a completed mission, but the flute suddenly begins to speak and erupts into a demonic form. It is quickly defeated by Erza, Gray and Natsu, who also inadvertently destroy the regular guild meeting hall, requiring all the Fairy Tail members to make a quick getaway.

Galuna Island arc
Lucy again teams up with Natsu and Happy to go on an S-class mission that they had stolen from the 2nd floor. As they're about to make their way to the island, they are confronted by Gray, who was ordered to stop them, but is blindsided by Natsu and is forced to join.

After they crash land on the cursed island, they meet the denizens of Galuna and learn of the curse inflicting them that had apparently turned them into demons. The mayor of the town also asks them to destroy the moon, thinking it will free them from the curse. Deciding that the task is impossible, Lucy and the others decide to investigate the island, and they encounter and defeat a giant mouse named Angelica, which leads them to a huge temple where they discover the monster Deliora.

After learning about the plot to free Deliora and destroy the town, Lucy and Happy go to try and save it. Lucy prepares simple traps in front of the entrance to the village, but instead, Natsu falls in, and after all the work Lucy had put into it, the ones behind the incident end up flying over the village, preparing to drop poison. Natsu redirects the poison and Virgo saves the mayor from being hit, but the village is destroyed. As Sherry Blendi, one of the people behind the scheme, flies off with her mouse Angelica, Lucy grabs on and tickles the mouse, and they all end up crashing to the ground.

When they both recover from the fall, they start to fight off against each other. With Sherry's Magic, she turns Taurus against her; however, Lucy finally learns how to force close the door to the Celestial Plane. With the end of the battle drawing near, she realizes that she is near the ocean and summons Aquarius, because she will attack both friend and foe. After Aquarius's attack, both Mages are stunned and dizzy. Lucy takes the opportunity to defeat Sherry. Unfortunately, Sherry commands her pet rat, Angelica, to avenge her before fainting. Lucy is about to be squished by Angelica, but thankfully, Erza shows up to save/apprehend her. With a little convincing from Gray, Erza decides to complete the mission as well.

After Lyon Bastia is defeated and Deliora is found to be dead, they head towards the camp set up for the villagers, but no one is there. As it turns out, the village went back to normal as if someone reversed time. With the mayor still insistent on destroying the moon, Erza discovers the truth about the island, and she and Natsu destroy the moon and lift the curse from Galuna Island. In actuality, the exhaust fumes from the Moon Drip crystallized and created a layer in the sky, covering the entire island, and what they just destroyed wasn't the moon, but the crystallized layer.

Without the layer in the sky, everything returns back to normal again, and the people of the village are revealed to have been demons to begin with. But thanks to the Moon Drip, they lost their memories and forgot that they were demons and thought they were humans instead. As their first S-Class Mission is finally over, Erza decides to decline the reward, but takes the Gold Key when the villagers say that it was a sign of their friendship.

Phantom Lord arc
Making their way back from Galuna Island, Lucy and the others discover that their guild has been wrecked by the Phantom Lord Guild. After receiving their punishment from the master (Lucy getting a smack on the butt from the master, who had a pervy look on his face), the gang decides to crash in Lucy's apartment, much to her dismay.

Later, they all see Levy McGarden, Jet and Droy crucified from a tree with the Phantom Lord mark branded on Levy. The master then arrives and declares war against Phantom Lord. With the others off fighting Phantom, Lucy stays behind to look after her injured friends.

As Lucy is walking back from her visit with grocery supplies, she is greeted by Juvia Lockser and Sol from the Element 4. She attempts to battle them after finding out that they are associated with Gajeel Redfox, which leads to her capture (and her dropping of her keys). Lucy is later seen being used as bait to help seal Master Makarov's Magic power. Lucy awakes at Phantom's headquarters and learns from Phantom Lord's guild master, Jose Porla, that her father had sent them to retrieve his daughter.

Lucy makes her escape by pretending to use the bathroom and kicking Jose in his private area. She makes her way to the exit to find that she is high up, but she jumps down anyway, knowing that Natsu would be there to catch her. After he catches her, they return to Fairy Tail.

Back at the Guild, Lucy feels like it is her fault and explains the situation; her friends try to cheer her up. As the war with Phantom continues, Mirajane feels it is better to hide Lucy to protect her, so she puts Lucy to sleep and disguises herself as Lucy with Transformation Magic and has Reedus protect the real one.

However, thanks to Gajeel's keen nose, he finds the real Lucy and forcefully takes her to Phantom headquarters. After being beaten and tortured by Gajeel, Natsu and Happy show up to rescue her. As Natsu and Gajeel's battle progresses, Lucy realizes Natsu is on the verge of being defeated and she calls upon the only key she has remaining (the one she got from Galuna Island), Sagittarius. Sagittarius shoots his arrows at a machine causing fire for Natsu to eat, so he can replenish his strength enough to defeat Gajeel.

Upon Phantom Lord's defeat and a little encouragement from her injured comrades (also being held and released by the Magic Council Knights), Lucy sets out alone towards the Heartfilia manor, after running away from home for over a year, to meet with her father. When Lucy arrives at the manor, she is happily greeted by her old servants. They dress her in a fancy dress and wait outside as Lucy goes to her father’s office. Lucy enters and her father explains that the reason he sent Phantom to get her was because her husband has been decided by him. Lucy says not to misunderstand her, and that she came back to cut ties with him, as well as to make sure he would never threaten or come near Fairy Tail again. She is then seen visiting her mother's grave as the others come to take her back to Fairy Tail. She explains just how wealthy her family is to her stunned friends.

Loke arc
Noticing Lucy worrying over her little amount of money, Mirajane suggests they do a simple acting job at a theater. She, along with the rest of Team Natsu are just to do some small acts to inspire bystanders to come and see a play. However, with all the theater's actors having walked out, Lucy and the rest of Team Natsu are cast in roles for the play. Lucy is cast as Princess Yanderica. Happy is given the task of carrying a dragon suit that Natsu is in, and they are given a week to rehearse. Their show is atrocious, makes little sense and they eventually destroy the theater, but despite all this, they are hailed as a success to the point that they're kept there for another week, doing three performances a day. Upon completing a mission earlier than expected, the gang decides to stay an extra night at an inn before departing. With the others engaged in an intense pillow fight, Lucy goes for a walk and meets two rogue Mages. The rogue Mages put a spell on her and are about to have their way until Loke appears and rescues her from them.

As a token of thanks for finding her keys earlier and for rescuing her, they go to a local bar. There, she tries to find out why he doesn't like Celestial Spirit Mages, but he doesn't talk. As she thanks him again and is ready to leave, he grabs Lucy and says he doesn't have much time left. Not wanting to get her involved, he passes this off as a joke, which he receives a slap for.

Later at the guild, still upset, Lucy learns that Loke had broken up with all his girlfriends. She summons Grandpa Crux, an expert on Celestial Spirit Magic, to ask about Loke's history with a stellar spirit Mage. Grandpa Crux tells Lucy about the story of Loke and his former companion, Karen Lilica, a Mage from the Blue Pegasus Guild, who died during a mission a few years ago. After hearing the short story of Loke and Karen from Grandpa Crux, she remembers what Loke had said about his "time left in this world". While thinking about what he said, Gray goes on to say to her that Loke had left the guild. While the rest of the group is looking for Loke, Lucy, now realizing the truth about Loke, goes to Karen's grave and finds him there. There, it is revealed that Loke is the Celestial Spirit Leo, and that Karen was his summoner. He says that he killed Karen and as a punishment, he was exiled in the human world.

Loke then tells the whole story of him and Karen. After he tells Lucy the story, Lucy says that it wasn't his fault and that she would save him. When she says that if because of that incident he would die, she would change the rule. Hearing this, the King of Celestial Spirits appears from the other world and says that is the one rule he cannot change, and that Loke was indirectly responsible for his summoner's death. Lucy does not let this happen. She tries to convince the King not to kill him, and she also summons her other Celestial Spirits to help her. Seeing that Lucy would go that far for a friend, the Celestial Spirit King decides that Loke would be spared his fate. After having the King convinced on his decision not to end a grateful Loke's life, she obtains the key to summon the Celestial Spirit Leo.

Tower of Heaven arc
Loke allows Lucy to take her friends to a resort. After Erza gets kidnapped by her old friends, Lucy and the gang (along with Juvia) go to the Tower of Heaven (with the help of Natsu's superhuman sense of smell) to follow and save Erza from the hands of Jellal Fernandes and company. Together with Juvia, they encounter the "Hawk" Vidaldus Taka, one of Jellal's top three fighters and a member of the assassination Death's Head Caucus Guild team, Trinity Raven. As they fight, Taka uses his Rock of Succubus to turn Juvia into his slave. As Juvia fights Lucy, Lucy hears the real Juvia and uses Aquarius through Juvia. Somehow, together, they join hands as Aquarius attacks and perform Unison Raid to defeat Taka for good.

After this, Simon asks Gray to lead everyone off the Tower and she watches from afar how Natsu defeats Jellal and destroys the tower. As Erza's friends leave to try to learn more about the "outside world" before truly trying to live a new life, Lucy sees them off with the others by making some fireworks with her stellar Magic.

Fighting Festival arc
When they return to the guild, they find its reconstruction complete and Cana Alberona shows them around. Makarov startles them with the introduction of two new members: Juvia and Gajeel, their previous enemies. After settling down, they sit down for a a song from Mirajane; this calm state doesn't last long as the two Dragon Slayers soon cause a large brawl. Though Lucy was supposed to become a sponsor for the interview in the weekly Sorcerer Magazine for Fairy Tail, the reporter pretty much ignores Lucy throughout the whole time, as he constantly runs around in excitement, asking different guild members questions. Not giving up, Lucy decides to dress as a bunny girl and go onto the stage, hoping to gain attention, only to fail as Gajeel appears next to her and surprises everybody with his singing performance. He even threatens Lucy with a stare to force her to dance as he sings.

A few days later, Lucy is desperately looking for jobs to pay the rent and asks Natsu and Happy to help her out. Much to her dismay, Natsu is feeling too sick and goes home to rest, which results in Lucy grabbing his scarf and falling to the ground. Admitting defeat, Lucy goes home. On the way home, she realizes she still has Natsu's scarf and decides to wash it for him. After she goes home and finishes her work, she decides to go to sleep, only to get a large fright when she finds Natsu and Happy asleep in her bed. Happy explains that Natsu's sickly feelings have happened before after he ate Laxus Dreyar's lightning. He goes on to explain about the strongest members in the guild, the strongest probably being Gildarts, and then gives Lucy a flyer about the Magnolia Harvest and the Miss Fairy Tail competition that is being run alongside it, which would solve all her money problems because of its large money prize.

During the contest, Lucy and the other women (including Erza) are turned into stone by Evergreen, one of the Thunder God Tribe (bodyguards of Laxus Dreyar). Later, she is de-petrified along with the others, thanks to Erza, and she is able to take part in the battle and goes outside the barrier that Freed Justine had made.

She encounters Bickslow (the other Thunder God Tribe member who defeated Gray) and is attacked by Bickslow's puppets, consequently losing her keys. He is about to finish her off with his Baryon Formation when Loke summons himself to save her and to fulfill his promise to her.

With their unity, they are able to defeat Bickslow. They quickly gain the upper hand in the battle, but Bickslow reveals his second ability, the Figure Eyes, which Bickslow uses to turn his opponents into dolls and control them. Not being able to use their eyes to fight, they become defenseless and are rapidly attacked by Bickslow's dolls. But in the end, through their unity and trust, they manage to defeat Bickslow, which shocks Gajeel as he does not see her as a particularly strong Mage.

After the battle, Lucy collapses from exhaustion and Loke returns her keys to her, stating that he will always be there for her. He also jokingly remarks that it was the power of their love that enabled them to win. Near the end though, Warren's spells inform the recovering Fairy Tail members of what's happening. Lucy and the rest of Fairy Tail then destroy Laxus's Hall of Thunder spell and save the town.

During the Fantasia parade, Lucy performs on a float together with Cana Alberona, Levi, and Bisca.

Oración Seis arc
Lucy is one of the members chosen along with Natsu, Gray and Erza to represent Fairy Tail for the upcoming battle against the one of the strongest dark guilds, Oración Seis.

They go to Master Bob's (Blue Pegasus Guild Master) villa to meet the other members of the alliance (an alliance formed by four legal guilds: Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale Guild and Cait Shelter Guild). Oración Seis knows of this, and forms a counter-attack, wiping out the alliance members.

As the other members go out to counter attack/rescue Wendy Marvell, who was captured, Lucy decides to stay with Erza who has been bitten by Cuberos, Cobra's snake. Hibiki Laytis, who stayed with her, revealed to her that she had gained a fierce reputation in the Mage community due to others' actions around her. However, she is quick to tell him that all the things done weren't done by her, but she knows the damage has already been done.

When Natsu returns after retrieving Wendy, who heals Erza, they see a strange black light in the distance. Natsu races toward the light, thinking Gérard is there. After contemplating on what he meant, the rest of the party realizes that Erza is gone and heads toward the black pillar of light, while Hibiki explains to Lucy what Nirvana actually does.

As they make their way towards the light, they encounter "Gray" standing above Natsu, about to deliver a finishing blow. Thinking Gray has yielded to the darkness, Lucy summons Sagittarius and he fires an arrow to save Natsu. "Gray" then proceeds to freeze Happy and shoots a blast at Lucy, who is saved by Hibiki. They then realize that this isn't Gray, who then turns into Lucy and flashes everyone.

"Lucy" then makes Sagittarius shoot Hibiki in the back. With everyone confused, the real Lucy tells Carla to take Wendy and run, then forces Sagittarius's gate closed. The other "Lucy" then summons Sagittarius and orders him to shoot Carla down. Soon after, Angel appears, saying it's not necessary and the other "Lucy" turns out to be the twins Gemi and Mini, the Celestial Spirits Gemini.

Lucy determines that she has to take on Angel herself and summons Aquarius in the nearby river. Angel, also being a Celestial Spirit Mage, opens the gate of the Scorpion Scorpio, (Aquarius's boyfriend). Taking advantage of the watching Lucy, Angel attacks her, saying that Lucy has no hope of defeating her if she doesn't know the relationships between Celestial Spirits, and proceeds to knock Lucy into the river. Desperate, Lucy then summons her trump card, Loke. Angel, unperturbed, summons Loke's friend Aries.

Lucy now seems distraught, saying that even Loke won't be able to fight. Seeing Aries, Lucy asks where Angel got Karen's Spirits, and Angel replies saying that she killed her and took them. Not wanting the two friends to fight, she tries to close Loke's door, but he refuses because it's his duty to serve his master. Lucy then witnesses Angel summoning Caelum and shooting both Leo and Aries through their stomach. With Loke apologizing, both spirits fade away. Lucy, upset, calls Angel the scum of Celestial Spirit Mages and summons Taurus, only to have him defeated by Gemini.

Lucy then demands that Angel release Aries from her contract, because she didn't have a good life with her previous owner either, and so she and Leo can be together. Lucy adds on by saying that she'll do anything, but give up her keys. Angel decides that her life would be payment and Gemini continues to attack. However, before administrating the final blow, Gemini looks back at how long and how much Lucy loved Celestial Spirits and cannot kill her. Angel recalls him and is about to use Caelum again when Hibiki grabs hold of Lucy's neck. This shocks both Angel and Lucy, both thinking that he had turned to the darkness. Instead, Hibiki uses his archive to give Lucy a new Magic, which he calls a "super" Magic. With this, celestial bodies appear around Lucy and she uses Uranometria to defeat Angel. After using the spell, Lucy doesn't seem to remember what happened.

Angel then gets back up, saying that she would not be defeated and that Oración Seis never lose. Angel fires Caelum, but the energy beam somehow veers around Lucy and hits the stump holding the raft Natsu is on. As Angel falls again into the water, Lucy tries to save Natsu from going down the river, but ends up on the same raft, heading towards a waterfall and falling over.

They both later wake up, only to realize that Virgo has been treating her wounds from the fight with Angel and has changed both her and Natsu's clothes. Suddenly, Sherry, who has fallen to the darkness, shows up and is about to attack the both of them when Gray appears and prevents Sherry from attacking them. Lyon also shows up and is shown to be alive and well. Relieved to see that Lyon is alive, Sherry is released from the dark and returns back to normal. After witnessing Nirvana's second stage, Lucy, Gray and Natsu decide to climb up one of its legs to reach the towers on top.

When Lucy and Gray finally arrive in the capital of Nirvana, they meet up with Jura and Hoteye, who explains that long ago, Nirvana was created by the race called the Nirvit for the purpose of peace (a fact made ironic because of how it's now being used for evil).

While explaining that Brain is controlling Nirvana, Midnight shows up to kill them, showing his incredible abilities by slicing a building in half. Hoteye gives them a chance to escape, saying that he will defeat Midnight. Eventually, Lucy, Gray and Jura catch up to Brain, who is dragging Natsu away. Brain reveals his plan to turn Natsu into a member of the Oracion Seis and that his first target with Nirvana is Cait Shelter, when Natsu unexpectedly bites Brain's hand, releasing himself. Lucy and Gray plan to attack Brain, but Jura interferes and attacks Brain unmercifully with his Rock Magic, demanding to know why he is attacking Wendy's guild, surprising everybody.

After Brain's defeat, Lucy and everyone else decide that they should get to the top of the capital to see if there's a way to shut down Nirvana. Arriving at the top, they see that there are no controls to shut it down. Wendy runs off, thinking of a way to shut it down. Hoteye soon telepathically tells the rest of them that he was defeated by Midnight, saying that Midnight is located at the bottom of the capital.

As they run, Natsu rushes to open a door in front of them, and while Natsu is opening the door, Jura Nekis realizes that it's a trap and shields Lucy, Gray and Natsu with his Earth Magic from a giant explosion. While treating Jura, Lucy and the others are surprised to find Brain's staff, Klodoa, talking to them, which reveals that he is the seventh of the six. The staff is then comically smacked around by Natsu. Levitating in the air, the staff reveals that Cait Shelter is made up of descendants of the Nirvit, thus they are the only ones able to seal Nirvana, and therefore, they must be eliminated.

Suddenly, Klodoa starts to attack Natsu and Gray, even managing to sneak a peek at Lucy's panties before attacking her. Klodoa then senses that all of the six have been defeated, goes into a panic and reveals that when all the six are defeated, Brain's other, more savage personality, Zero, emerges. Zero then arrives and savagely beats Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy to a pulp, saying that they are not defeated until he is unable to see a body.

As Zero's plan is slightly halted by the rest of the Light Team, Sherry's words force Lucy to stand up again so she can destroy one of the lacrima crystals. However, she is drastically low on Magic and cannot attack the crystal until Gemini comes to Lucy's aid. With Angel's arrest, Lucy inherits the three Gold Keys that were contracted to Angel: Gemini, Scorpio and Aries, who sought Lucy to be their new owner, since Angel's arrest rendered her contracts with the three void.

Edolas arc
With the Oración Seis defeated, Lucy then heads back to Fairy Tail with her companions and Wendy. She is as equally shocked as Wendy when a loud bell in Magnolia chimes, and it is revealed that Gildarts Clive has returned. Lucy tells Wendy a little bit about him, saying that Gildarts is supposedly the most powerful Mage in Fairy Tail and that she had never seen him before. She then watches as he sends Natsu into the ceiling with one hand, and was shocked to realize that he couldn't finish the 100-Year Quest.

As Mystogan reveals the truth about Anima to both Wendy and Carla, she is seen at the guild wondering when the rain would stop and wishing that something interesting would happen. Then when Anima begins sucking Magnolia Town, Horologium, who felt that the fluctuation in space-time, appears and saves Lucy by hidding her in another space for a while. Lucy then finds herself alone in what is left from Magnolia and meets Mystogan for the first time. Mystogan tells her about Edolas, a parallel world and explains her the current situation. He then gives her a pill and sends her to Edolas.

Lucy then goes on her own to search for her friends. In Louen City a group of soldiers confuses her with her Edolas counterpart and try to arrest her. Lucy struggles against the guards and before Natsu could try to help her, she summons Scorpio and blasts all of the soldiers way. When they reunite, Lucy is overjoyed at seeing them again, but gets shocked when she sees her Edolas counterpart. She tells Natsu to take care of the rest of the soldiers, but Natsu tells her that she's the only one who can use Magic, leading her to believe that she has become the strongest Fairy Tail Mage. She then summons Aries and they all escape to the forest.

Lucy explains how she wound up in Edolas. Edolas Lucy comments on how they're still going to fight against the kingdom even though they can't control their Magic properly (Earth Land Lucy protests that she can use hers). Lucy proclaims that as Fairy Tail's (current) strongest Mage that she'll be the one to solve everything, to which Natsu, Carla, and Happy say they have no choice but to count on her and Wendy cheering her on.

After arriving at the town of Sycca, the team decides to stay for the night in a hotel. Just as Edolas Lucy about to reveal her body to Natsu while commenting that she and her Earth Land counterpart havethe same figure, Lucy immediately covered her counterpart up while retaliating that she does mind that. Natsu, who then begins to laugh, causes Lucy to ask why, and comments that it must be because he'll comment that Edolas Lucy has a better figure than her or something. He responses that it's because the two Lucys taking a bath with together, which stuns both Lucys when they realize it. Her counterpart then asks Lucy to summon the Celestial Spirit that can cut hair, which she does, and watches her counterpart change to a shorter hairstyle.

The next day, Lucy becomes furious with Edolas Lucy who left a note saying that she's going back to her guild. But that attitude quickly changed when she found a book that narrates the history of Edolas. While reading, she and Natsu notice that an airship just landed. Listening to Natsu's idea of stealing the airship, Lucy decides to battle the Royal Army with Loke. However, Virgo came out in place of him apparently because Loke is out on a date and cannot be summoned at the moment.

Nearly captured by the Royal Army, a man with a Magic four-wheeler came and saved Lucy and company and took them out of the city. As they ride on the vehicle, the man introduces himself as Natsu the Fireball to them. When they witness their guild trapped in lacrima, she tearfully holds Natsu back despite knowing how painful it is. Later, she and Carla make up a plan to know how they should turn back the guild to normal. Lucy plans on using Gemini to transform into Faust and read his mind. This plan was not put into action because she is captured by Erza Knightwalker, put in a separate cell from Wendy and Natsu and will be executed.

Later, Knightwalker arrives at Lucy's cell to execute her. Lucy then tries to persuade her that on Earth Land, she is a member of Fairy Tail and is a good, responsible person that everyone can count on. However, Knightwalker does not care, and tells Lucy not to confuse her with her Earth Land counterpart.

Knightwalker then suspends Lucy over a balcony and tells her that she is fortunate because she likes to look at the suffering of others and that is why she is titled Fairy Hunter, as she has killed dozens of members of the Fairy Tail. She then sarcastically tells Lucy that she'll be seeing her, before throwing her off the balcony.

Luckily, Lucy is saved by Carla and Happy at the last moment. Carla tries to exploit Erza's 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 to release Wendy and Natsu, which almost succeeds.

Unfortunately, the rest of the royal guards arrive and Pantherlily informs Erza that Carla and Happy are the "fallen" (traitors). All three attempt to escape. Carla asks Lucy if she's angry at them. Lucy is very surprised by this question and she really doesn't know for what she should be angry for. Carla said that it is their fault that she got caught in the first place. 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.

They then try to reach the West Tower, where Wendy and Natsu are both trapped. Unfortunately, Extalia troops face them in the air, and Magic Militia is already waiting there for them on the ground, leaving them trapped. However, in a lucky twist of fate, Faust decides that now is a perfect time to invoke code ETD, which transforms the Extalia troops into a giant cat lacrima.

As the Magic Militia is distracted, the cats and Lucy make their way to the basement of the West Tower, where they are ambushed by Erza Knightwalker and soldiers once again. Just as Knightwalker is about to execute Happy, the soldiers behind her are suddenly blown away and Lucy starts crying tears of joy, as both Earthland Erza and Gray appear, having joined the fray.

She later learns that the reason Gray and Erza escaped was due to Gajeel's Dragon Slayer Magic. She also learns that the reason she could use her Magic in Edolas was because Mystogan fed her X-Balls, a medicine that allows the Earthland Mages to use Magic in Edolas. Later, she runs around in the castle with Gray and Natsu trying to locate the king. During that time, Lucy comments on how confusing the layout of the castle is and that she wouldn't be surprised if there was even an amusement park in the castle. True to her prediction, the group actually encounters an amusement park, along with Hughes and Sugarboy. Lucy then prepares to battle the two captains along with Gray and Natsu.

Hughes then shows-off his weapon, "Command Tact" to attack Natsu with a roller coaster from behind. Lucy shouts at him before falling into Sugarboy's trap, which makes both Gray and her sink into the ground. After being thrown into the air by Gray, she attempts to free Natsu from the hell roller coaster but fails, as Hughes eventually makes them fall into a body of water. She then sweat-drops as Hughes laughs at a candid shot of them on the coaster.

The presence of water makes Lucy realize that she can summon Aquarius and she does so. However, the situation turns grim as Aquarius cannot control the water because Hughes is controlling it. Lucy looks on in shock before being engulfed with the water attack by Hughes. His attack flushes Lucy into a clothes-changing device. Natsu then hatches a plan for Lucy to seduce Hughes with sexy clothing, but fails when Hughes attacks them using monsters located in the attraction anyway. Later, Lucy runs away from the hoard of monsters, only to bump into Coco, who has Byro chasing after her. Byro then asks Coco to hand the key used for controlling the Dragon Chain Cannon to him, but Lucy mistakes it as Byro asking for her keys. She then prepares to battle Byro and defend Coco.

She summons Taurus, but he is quickly defeated by Byro's Flame Liquid. She then summons Virgo who lands a hit, causing him to fall into the hole she made. This backfires as Byro consumes his Octopus Liquid, turning him into a giant octopus-human hybrid, and captures Coco. Virgo states that she can't do anything and Lucy is forced to run around. She receives the extending whip Fleuve des Etoiles of the Eridanus Constellation from the Celestial World in order to conserve her Magic power.

Virgo's concern sets Lucy's spirits and drives her to fight for Coco. Byro keeps hurting Coco, causing Lucy to state that protecting your friends is the most important thing. Using the Fleuve des Etoiles, she manages to tie up Byro's legs and makes him hit the Monster Academy, subsequently being caught in the fire of Natsu's punch into Hughes and thus is defeated.

Before Coco could hand them the key, Sugarboy slides by and takes it, then being chased by Gray on a motorcycle. Lucy and Natsu chase after them. Sugarboy softens the floor making Lucy get stuck under Byro's tentacles with Coco. After the cannon is fired, Lucy reappears with Coco on her Legion. Erza, Natsu, and Gray hop on and they head for the Lacrima Island. By helping Natsu and the others, Lucy is able to buy enough time for Mystogan to send Fairy Tail back to their world. She became really surprised when she found out that Mystogan is the Prince of Edolas.

While helping the Exceeds escape the Royal Army, she, along with Erza Scarlet, Gray, and Coco, were ambushed by Erza Knightwalker and her force. The two Erzas fight each other, and the rest of them fight against the rest of the army. Even with Loke's help, the sheer number of the Royal Army nearly defeated them until the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild appeared and evened the fight. She was helped by her Edolas counterpart, and watched the rest of the battle. Magic, however, was taken away from Edolas at a crucial time. Although the Royal Army ran away, she saw the whole guild was in a state of panic. Lucy tried to calm them, but only to be yelled by her counterpart for not realizing that a Magic guild cannot exist without Magic.

Lucy is later seen with Gray and the others as the Anima begins to suck up the Exceeds and Earth Mages, commenting on the fact that since the Anima is sucking Magical power out of Edolas, it was kicking them out as well. Lucy then says goodbye to the Edolas Fairy Tail, and travels back to Earth Land with the others.

After arriving back with the others, Lucy is relieved to see that Magnolia is intact, however she is also surprised when the Exceeds show up. Just as everyone is about to head back to Fairy Tail after listening to the 6-year plan and bidding farewell to the Exceeds, they are surprised to see a chibi Pantherlily. When Pantherlily reveals that he has caught someone suspicious, Lucy is seen with the others looking shocked at the revelation that Lisanna's Edolas counterpart is also in Earth Land. She is later seen wondering what's going on when Lisanna admits that she is the Earthland Lisanna, and then along with the others, she helps Lisanna return to her siblings.

Tenrou Island arc
As the guild celebrates the arrival of Lisanna, Lucy is surprised to see that Evergreen and Juvia have changed their appearance. Moments later she witnesses how the guild starts another ruckus, telling Juvia not to strip just to impress Gray. After the guild's little skirmish is over, she wakes up to find everybody still asleep. Her eyes then fall upon Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman with their arms around each other. While looking at them, she comments on how happy she is for them to be able to see each other again. Looking around once again, she sees Natsu. Once she sees him, she bends down and stares at his face wondering if he has ever felt lonely due to him being unable to see Igneel. Lucy then comments about how cute Natsu can be while he is asleep. After a few seconds she is punched in the face by Natsu and goes flying through the guild roof and into the river by her house. Days later she showers by herself and gets a shock when she discovers that Cana is showering with her, Cana then talks a bit with Lucy, commenting that she wants to leave Fairy Tail. In the guild, Lucy goes and tells Mirajane what Cana intends to do, Mirajane then comments that it happens every year as Lucy wonders why nearly all the guild members want to take so many jobs. The day after, Lucy witness the announcement of the S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial and is very surprised that there was such an event. The chapter also suggests that she may play some major role in the future. Later, after she was going home she met Cana lying in a snow. She took her home and Cana told her why she must become a S-Class Mage, so Lucy decided that she would become her partner. As the participants head towards the island, Lucy is complaining about the blistering heat and complains that she will melt. Shortly after the master arrives to explain the rules of the first trial. When the first trial started Cana and Lucy hit a delay because Freed used a rune on the boat, which prevents everyone from leaving for 5 min. As soon as the rune was released, Lucy realized that she and Cana are way behind and arrive on the island last. Shortly after realizing that all but 1 path is left, Lucy tried to boost Cana's confidence by saying luck usually happens in situations like this.

But as soon as they enter, they realize that they are in a battle path, and the opponent they have to beat if they want to continue is Freed and Bickslow. Lucy now has to face against Bickslow again, but this time she may have a major disadvantage since she can't call Loki during the trial. Freed tells them he will be the one to take Laxus's place as an S-class Mage and suggests Lucy and Cana both put some clothes on, saying that it's too distracting.

Cana, realizing his weakness is women, takes advantage of this by playing the Sexy Lady card which surrounds Freed in sexy women and takes him out of commission for the fight. Lucy then summons Virgo (wearing undergarments only) to add more women to the mix, but Virgo is easily taken out by Bickslow's dolls. His dolls continue to attack, and Cana makes an attempt to hit the dolls using the Prayer's Fountain card. The water fails to hit the dolls, but seeing water, Lucy moves towards it and summons Aquarius. Lucy then advises Cana to hold onto something as Aquarius attacks and defeats Freed and Bickslow. Cana and Aquarius then have an argument where Lucy notes how similar they are.

Seeing that Freed and Bickslow are down, the path opens and they go forward to the next part of the trial. Freed and Bickslow then talk about how they let them win; Freed feels he owes them (from the Fighting Festival). They note how lucky Lucy and Cana are for running into them in the trial.

Lucy and Cana along with the other winners of the first trial all welcome Gray and Loke when they arrive. Makarov starts to annouce who defeated who in the first trial. Gray gets shocked when he hears Lucy and Cana beat Bickslow and Freed. After he annouces them, Lucy and Cana figure out that Evergreen and Elfman had to be left with Mirajane. Assuming they lost, they are shocked to actually see them return claiming they beat Mira. When Natsu tells Happy he's not depressed and just thinking, Happy is shocked, hearing Natsu is thinking about something. Lucy wonders in her head how lowly Happy thinks of Natsu.

Then Natsu gets up and challenges all the S-Class Trial remainding participants to who will win. When the next trial to find Mavis Vermilion's grave begins, Lucy and Cana get chased by a giant gecko-like creature. They eventually manage to get away from the creature, and Lucy ponders about the Master's words about the second test being about intelligence. She realizes with a jolt that she knows where Maxis' grave is, and she rushes off, with Cana right behind her and cheering her, as Gray and Loke follow start following them without noticing them.

Later Lucy was seen with Cana noticing the warning signal that was launched by Erza which is everyone must enter the battle formation. When Cana became upset about the exam being cancelled, she tells Lucy that she is going to continue the exam; Gray and Loke calmed her down. When Cana and Lucy asked Gray and Loke what they were doing, Loke almost told the girls that they were following them, but was stopped by Gray. However, Gray and Loke suggest that they should head back to the camp since they know less information about the enemy.

Then Lucy and the others got attacked by Grimoire Heart Guild members, whom they fought off until Caprico teleported them away, announcing that he would be their opponent in the process. As the fight begins, Caprico immediately kicks Lucy into a wall and continues kicking Gray and Loke. As she and Cana gets up, Caprico explains to the group what Grimoire Heart Guild is trying to acomplish by obtaining Zeref.

Caprico is later revealed to be the celestial spirit, Capricorn The Goat. Loke requests to fight him alone because Caprico's Human Subordination Magic can temporarily weaken humans in battle and since he's a spirit, it doesn't affect him. Lucy refuses to let Loke fight alone but does in the end. Before she leaves, she tells him to come back to her no matter what. After Loke's battle with Capricorn, he returns to Lucy's belt, and informs Lucy that Capricorn will join Lucy's side as well, which she relays to Gray and Cana.

As the three walk together, Cana suddenly interrupts that they should split up to look for the Seven Kin. Lucy stammers that she doesn't want to be alone and Cana says she'll be with her, so Gray leaves them after a few protests. As the two walk together, Cana inquires about the location of Mavis's grave. Lucy replies that she tried to associate different six-letter words with "grave" and when asked about why they had to be six letters, explains that the six hour time limit hinted at something being six letters. She then says the only word she could come up with was "DEMISE" and that the letter "E" is suspicious in that it pops up twice. She asks Cana if she remembers that the first paths were lined up according to alphabetical letters, and suddenly falls asleep on the ground; Cana had used her sleep card on Lucy. Cana then drags the sleeping Lucy a short distance away, but leaves her out in the open regardless. Still asleep, Lucy is happened upon by Kain Hikaru, one of the Seven Kin.

He tries to stomp on her but she wakes up just in time. Lucy then questions him about Cana's whereabouts to which he replies that it doesn't matter because he'd kill her soon. She then begins to wonder to herself, how she got there, was she sleeping, and when she got seperated from Cana, and then resolves to do something about Kain. He then runs behind a nearby tree trembling and stating that he's strong and that it didn't matter who his opponent was, they wouldn't live if they faced him. When Lucy tells him that anyone who challenged Fairy Tail would be challenged by her, he simply tells her to hold on a second and starts vigorously scratching his head, and then strikes a pose. He then tells her that they were going to fight and says that he'd show her the power of his Magic Ushi no Koku Mairi. Then he pulls out a doll and asks Lucy for some of her hair, because his Magic needed his opponents hair for it to work. Lucy quickly refuses this request. He goes on to explain his ability, stating that if he were to put some of her hair on the doll he would be able to manipulate her movements, and she stated that after hearing that she definitely wouldn't give him any hair. He looked suprised, and Lucy asked him if he had just realized that.

Lucy then said that she'd never heard of that Magic and that she thought he was bluffing, so he placed his own hair on his doll and gave it to Lucy. She then hit the doll against the ground, and made it do a split in mid air, before he angrily took it back and started chasing her, stating that he was pissed off. Lucy, states that this isn't the time for her to be playing around and then summons Taurus, but Kain beats Taurus in one hit. So she summons Sagittarius who shoots a few arrows at Kain but he simply kicks them back at him and Lucy, defeating Sagittarius as well. Lucy then summons Scorpio who uses Sand Buster, but the attack has no effect on Kain and he defeats Scorpio in one hit. Kain then changed his doll's form into a light source and blasts Lucy with a light attack. Lucy then realizes that the doll was strengthning him, and Kain changed the material of his doll to cotton and then to Iron and tried to finish Lucy but Natsu intervened and kicked him in the face and sent him over to Ultear.

Natsu asks Lucy what she was doing there, and she asked him the same and thanked him for saving her. Happy remarked that Lucy was sent flying over in their direction rather ungracefully, to which Lucy asked if there was a "cool" way to be sent flying. Lucy then asked Natsu if he had an opponent too, to which he replied that Kain was his opponent and that Lucy couldn't take him. She then said that she wasn't taking him, and that it would be a close fight even for Natsu. Natsu replied that it wouldn't be and that he would take him down. Happy then stated that now Natsu had two opponents, and Natsu said that they had added an extra member themselves. He then said that he would put the trial and hold and that they should form a team, Lucy said that it was nostalgic, Happy said that it made him think of when they first met, and Natsu remarked that he was all fired up. Lucy and Natsu then high fived and she and he both remarked that they should defeat them.

After Kain agrees to handle Natsu and Lucy by himself and Ultear takes her leave, Lucy warns Natsu that they cannot allow them to leave, but before Natsu hears her, he attempts to attack Ultear and Kain gets in the way. Lucy tries to help but is under Kain's spell, as he reveals he was capable of taking a string of her hair while chasing her before, and soon takes his revenge by toying with her, and controls her to attack Natsu. Natsu is successful in avoiding one of Lucy's attacks and prepares to counterattack but Lucy's unpredictable movements prove too much for him to avoid. Natsu is eventually able to restrain her and Happy steals his doll. Kain knocks Happy with one blow and tries to recover his doll but Natsu takes it instead, trying to counterattack, however Kain acts faster and delivers a powerful blow to Natsu which ends with him crashing and half-buried by rocks. Unable to move on his own, Lucy tries to summon Virgo, but has no more power left and is subsequently captured and tortured by Kain. Natsu asks her to run, but she refuses, prompting Kain to try to kill Lucy by crushing her head. Before he can do it, Natsu uses the doll to manipulate Lucy and attack Kain. Further boosting Lucy with his own Dragon Slayer Magic, Natsu gives Happy the doll so that he can use the speed to further power Lucy, finally defeating Kain Hikaru with a powerful kick to the face.

Lucy is then seen trying to pull Natsu out of the boulders he had gotten stuck in earlier. Happy asks Natsu to break them with his flames to which he responds that that is a good idea. Once Natsu is free they look over and notice that Zeref is no longer there, and Natsu remarks that something is geting in the way of his scent. Lucy then raises her leg and says she has to look for Cana, and Natsu asks her why she was raising her leg. She then begins to chase after Happy who has Mr. Cursey in his hand, and Natsu says that it is time to take a nap. Lucy then says, while bending happy with Mr. Cursey, that they can't because she's worried about Cana and they must search for Zeref. They then begin to speak on Grimoire Heart's goal and Natsu says that since they laid a finger on Makarov that they wouldn't leave the island. Lucy then realizes that they must have a ship somewhere anchored on the island and asks Happy to go search for it, but he repliest that he is out of Magic power. Natsu then states that they should get back to where Makarov is resting and that they would have Lily or Carla take care of it.

She along with Natsu and Happy arrive at the site where Makarov is resting, and when Doranbolt arrives Natsu asks where he went, and Lucy remarks that it is Mest of the Council. He then tells Lucy that his name is really Doranbolt. Wendy begins to ask him something but Doranbolt tells her not to worry because he came there to help them, which suprises Happy and Carla. He then says that with his powers everyone can leave the island, but Lucy and the others refuse. Despite Mest's attempts to convince them otherwise they all decide to stay on the island and fight.

Lucy is then seen changing into clothing brought to her by Virgo and she along with Wendy and Natsu try to convince Doranbolt to stall the council while they defeat Grimoire Heart. Later, she, along with Wendy, Natsu, Happy, and Carla, is beaten in one blow by Grimoire Heart member Bluenote Stinger.

Lucy is then lying on the ground and shocked at the strength of Bluenote. Suddenly, Cana arrives and attacks Bluenote with her cards and tries to follow with Fairy Glitter but fails due to Bluenote's Magic. Cana asks for Lucy's forgiveness and reassures her that she will beat Bluenote with Fairy Glitter. Lucy is delighted to hear this and asks her if she found it on the first master's grave. Upon hearing this, Natsu remembers the trial but Cana tells him to forget about it and help her fight. However before she can finish talking, Bluenote uses his Magic to send them flying. He then approaches Cana and tells her that he will be taking the Magic, but Cana tells him that only Mages from the guild can use it. However, Bluenote tells her about the origin of Magic, a story that Lucy once heard. He then levitates her and was about to kill her when Natsu uses his Fire Dragon's Roar on the ground that allows him to counter Bluenote's gravity Magic and attack him which allows Cana to attack him with Fairy Glitter.

The attack, however, was parried onto the ground, and Bluenote further taunted her about her Magic and her Fairy Glitter. Cana was stunned by the fact that he was still standing, while Bluenote explained that he can extract the Magic by killing her. When Bluenote was about to kill Cana, Gildarts arrives just in time to stop him much to everyone's relief and delight. After Gildarts' arrival he orders everyone to get away, and the force from Gildarts and Bluenote clashing sent Lucy and the others flying. After realizing that they'd only be in Gildarts way Lucy and the others left. Later when Azuma destroys the Great Tenrou Tree, Lucy is seen collapsing along with the other members of Fairy Tail. After Erza defeats Azuma, Lucy feels her Magic return to her. Later, Lucy, Natsu, Wendy, Happy and Carla arrive at camp to see most of the comrades injured, and Rustyrose defeated. The members left standing decided to form an attack and defense team in their final battle against Hades.

After watching the rain fall, Natsu eventually gets up, ready to face Hades and tells Happy and Lucy to come on. Lucy thinks she should be defense, but Freed and Bickslow say to leave it to them. Wendy and the cats agree to go attack as well, and the group sets out. Before Lucy leaves, Lisanna tells Lucy to stay close to Natsu, for he becomes more powerful when he has friends near him. On the way to the final battle, Erza and Gray join up with the group, and they stare down Hades on-top his airship. Hades tells the group he will be waiting inside for their battle. Before going in, Natsu tells Carla, Pantherlily, and Happy to go through the airship to make sure it wouldn't take off during their battle. Gray then uses Ice Make: Stairs, and they all climb into the battleship. Lucy tells everyone to go all out right away. Natsu, Gray, and Erza, start off right away with a combo, followed by Lucy summoning Taurus, who slams down with his axe, making Hades stumble. Wendy then uses Arms Spell X Armor X Vernier on everyone. Lucy summons Scorpio who attacks with Wendy to make a Unison Raid. After more attacks, Hades emerges unharmed. Hades asks if their done with "warmup", and then yells Katsu. Wendy disappears with only her clothes left behind.

Wendy appears in Horologium unharmed. Horologium tells everyone he was in Automatic Danger Response Mode. He detected a powerful spell was about the be used, and saved Wendy's body. Horologium sends Wendy back down with new clothes, and everyone prepares to attack again. Hades overwhelms everybody with his magic though. Hades eventually tells the kids his history as the secound master of Fairy Tail, and how Makarov has made bad changes to the guild. Natsu defends Makarov's changes, so Hades prepares to finish him off. Lucy yells for him to stop. Just before the spell is released, Laxus appears and head bashes Hades.

Lucy watches as Laxus battles Hades on mostly even terms until Laxus is hit by one of Hades explosion attacks. As Hades uses a big attack to finish Laxus, Natsu is given Laxus' lightning, and Natsu seemingly defeats Hades. However, Hades recovers from Natsu's attacks, unaffected. He then unleashes his Devil's Eye by removing his eye patch. Having exhausted his Magical Power, Natsu can do nothing but watch as Hades prepares to kill them.

Everyone resolves to not give up despite not having any magic power, and they rush to attack Hades. Hades asks them what they can do with such a small amount of power, and then, he orders his demons to dance. Natsu trips while running to battle, but Lucy and Wendy grab him and throw him forward. Gray and Erza then kick Natsu further forward, allowing Natsu to close in on Hades. A big explosion then occurs on Hades ship.

Hades realizes his heart was destroyed, which was done by Happy and Carla. With his heart destroyed and his power source gone, Hades is defeated by Natsu, Erza, and Gray. The battle ends and the Exceed finally arrive while being chased by Grimore Heart members. Natsu and the others have already run out of Magic, but then the members in the camp come to the rescue. After the war Lucy rests at Tenrou Island camp with her guild mates.

Everything is interrupted when Acnologia, the infamous Black Dragon, lands on Tenrou Island and starts attacking everyone. All of the Fairy Tail members start moving towards the ship as the dragon goes on its rampage. Makarov then enters full Titan mode and grabs Acnologia, holding it off from attacking the guild members. Everyone wishes to help Makarov, but he shouts not to disobey his final order. When Makarov is overwhelmed by Acnologia, all of them return back and go all out against the dragon. As Acnologia, having shrugged off all the combined attacks from its assailants, flies high up into the sky and readies to fire a breath attack against Tenrou Island, the guild members join their hands in a circle. While promising they will return home to Fairy Tail, they are struck by Acnologia's blast, which completely annihilates Tenrou Island, leaving nothing behind.

X791 arc
Lucy 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 enjoying a long party after their return, Lucy returns to her apartment, where she's met by the owner, who while glad that she's alive, tells Lucy that with seven years gone missing she owes 5,880,000 jewels. Lucy realizes the effects the seven years is going to have on her new life. She realizes her father must have been worried and goes to visit him at the Love & Lucky guild along with Natsu and Happy. She's however told by a member that her father died a month ago, which greatly shocks her.

A distraught Lucy, along with Happy and Natsu are later seen walking on a road. Here they encounter two girls complaining about their fathers and wishing they were dead. This prompts Natsu to yell at the girls. Lucy tells him to stop and apologizes for making them worry about her. When Happy asks if she was ok, Lucy replies that she was, except she was caught of guard because it was her Dad. She looks back at her time with her father and how she didn't like him, adding the Phantom Incident to the list. Nonetheless, she reminisces on the time she went to save his father back in Acrifa and how much it seemed their relationship changed. Still she questions why it is that despite how sad and lonely she feels, she can't bring herself to cry wondering if she really did hate her father but Natsu assures her that wasn't the case, saying tears has nothing to do with how you really feel.

Later she is seen sulking and sitting by a park. Her Landlady arrives and silently drags her away, much to Lucy's dismay. She finds herself thrown into her own room, the Landlady shuts the door and stands behind it. Lucy is surprised to find it perfectly clean to which the Landlady replies that she cleaned it every week (though some of her cloths 'went bad' and she took an outfit for herself.) She directs Lucy to her table where she sees several presents, from her father, wishing her a happy birthday, which greatly shocks Lucy that he remembered. She also tells Lucy that another one came today, along with a letter from her father, stating that she is his and Layla Heartfilia's pride and that he had always loved her. Crying, she says she loved him too and her Landlady starts to leave to let Lucy to her tears. Natsu and Happy arrive with a job and planned to take Lucy along with them, though they are shocked when the Landlady tells them the letter that came for Lucy also came with the 7 years worth of rent. As they run off to do the job (now they're the only ones without food or money) they tell Lucy they'll buy her some food. As they tell her this, she thinks to herself that despite the 7 years of lost time they are going to live in this world - she then tells Happy and Natsu she is coming as well.

Lucy with other members of Fairy Tail go to the beach to train for the Grand Magic Games. However, instead they start having fun and decide to just relax for the first day. Later on the day, Lucy summons Caprico to help her with her main weakness, her lack of Magical power during critical moments. He tells her that she must feel the earth, the wind, the air with her skin and must synchronize her breath with nature. Lucy starts releasing her Magical power to the point where it's visible, but then gets exhausted and falls back. She then starts talking about "The One Magic" and how her mother had told her that it's what we call love. Later at night, she and other girls that had come with her are taking a bath, while they boys peep on them. While looking at the stars, she decides to put more effort on it.

During the second of training, Virgo appears and tells her that the Celestial Spirit World needs her help. She teleports everyone there, except for Jet and Dtoy, to the Celestial Spirt World, where, surprisingly, there is a welcome back party for them. After partying for a day, Virgo returns them to the Human World, but much to their surprise, the one day they spent in the Celestial Spirit World equaled to three months in the human world, leaving them with only five days to train for the Grand Magic Games.

Lucy watches in horror as Natsu writhes around on the floor in pain, as Ultear begins the process Later that evening, she too, writhes around on the floor in pain as the process to elevate the Magic power happens to her.

Magic and Abilities
Celestial Spirit Magic (星霊 魔法 Seirei Mahō): Lucy practices Celestial Spirit Magic, which allows her to summon Celestial Spirits, Magical beings residing in the Celestial Spirit World, using the Keys of their respective Gates. Once a contract has been made with a Spirit, such Spirit will be available for Lucy to summon on certain days, in which it'll fight on her side and perform several tasks for her. Her Celestial Spirits have varying levels of power, with different ones being more suited for certain tasks than others, not necessarily related to battle. For example, Aquarius can control water, creating powerful waves which can sweep away large amounts of foes, while Taurus has enormous physical strength, making for a valuable melee fighter able to flank Lucy during battle and tackle opponents on her behalf. However, Celestial Spirits are sentient beings who possess personalities and traits, and are thus able to act accordingly during battle, sometimes even ignoring Lucy's orders and acting on their own, something which is usually portrayed in a comical way (such as Aquarius acting arrogantly and catching even Lucy herself in her attacks, or Taurus having perversive tendencies about her). Lucy explained to Natsu Dragneel that Celestial Spirit Mages have the potential to obtain extremely rare Gold Keys, which open the gates of the "Ecliptic Zodiac", and common, store-bought Silver Keys. According to Lucy, while there is a large number of Silver Keys, there are only 12 Gold Keys, each of them being related to a specific astrological sign. Thus far in the series, Lucy has obtained 10 Gold Keys and 4 Silver Keys, a considerable amount for a single Celestial Spirit Mage. Lucy's ability to summon her Spirits is limited by how much Magical Power she has to sustain them; the more (and more powerful) Spirits she summons, the more of her Magic is exhausted. She was shown capable of using five of her Ecliptic Zodiac Keys in one day, a noteworthy feat.


 * Force Gate Closure: Lucy is able to force the gate of a Celestial Spirit to close against their will, prompting them to return to the Celestial Spirit World. Such skill would come in useful if one of her Spirit had been taken over by the foe through various means and was forced to attack her, allowing Lucy to remove them from battle without actually harming them. For a Celestial Spirit Mage obtaining this ability seems to be a remarkable feat.


 * Multiple Summons: Lucy has gained the advanced ability to summon more than one Celestial Spirit at once: she was even shown summoning all of her Gold Keys (5 of them at the time) and one of her Silver Keys (Nikora) at once, something which greatly astonished Loke; however, due to the large amount of Magic Power required for such feat, she was able to keep it active for just a handful of seconds. In the anime, this mass summoning was further enhanced, with Lucy calling forth all of her Celestial Spirits at once.

Unison Raid (lit. Fusion Magic)(合体魔法 (ユニゾンレイド) Gattai Mahō (Yunizon Reido)): A spell which allows two Mages to unite their Magic into a single, combined and stronger attack. Apparently, this is an highly advanced form of Magic, with many priests having wasted their entire lives trying to achieve it, without success. However, Lucy and Juvia Lockser succeeded on their first try, with Aquarius's giant wave combining with Juvia's own water to create a powerful, large whirlpool which not even Vidaldus Taka's water-proof hair could absorb. Later on, Lucy managed to achieve Unison Raid again, this time with Wendy Marvell, combining Scorpio's Sand Buster with Wendy's Sky Dragon's Roar in a single, powerful vortex, which, together with Gray Fullbuster's Ice-Make: Hammer, greatly enhanced Natsu Dragneel's speed, allowing him to strike Hades with his Fire Dragon's Sword Horn.

Uranometria (ウラノ・メトリア Urano Meteoria): A powerful spell which was momentarily bestowed upon Lucy by Hibiki Laytis through the use of his Archive Magic. After she had been granted such spell, Lucy fell in a state of trance, in which she went on to chant out the spell's incantation. This prompted the area around her target to become full of star-like lights, followed shortly after by a dark blanket reminiscent of a night sky. All of the star-like lights then suddenly exploded at the same time, causing heavy damage upon the target. Once Uranometria had been casted, Lucy woke up from her trance, completely unaware of what she had done. This spell was used to defeat Angel, a member of Oración Seis. It seems to be exhausting to cast, with Lucy claiming to lack the energy to move after waking up from the trance. After parting from Hibiki, it's unknown if she has retained the capability of using it.

Ushi no Koku Mairi (丑の刻参り Ushi no Koku Mairi): Kain Hikaru's Lost Magic, which was taught him by Hades, Ushi no Koku Mairi revolves around the use of the doll Mr. Cursey: if a person's strand of hair is placed on Mr. Cursey's head, then manipulating Mr. Cursey will allow the user to manipulate that person. Lucy was first shown employing the Magic on Kain himself after the man had recklessly given Mr. Cursey to her with his hair on it, in order for her to try out his powers. After stealing Mr. Cursey from Kain, Lucy, Natsu and Happy momentarily gained the ability to use this Magic, with Natsu and Happy manipulating Mr. Cursey while the doll had Lucy's hair on it, and Lucy being thus manipulated to fight.
 * Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (Lucy Version): While Lucy is being controlled with Mr. Cursey, Natsu ignites one of her hands without harming her through the use of his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, in a similar fashion to his own Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. (Unnamed)


 * Secret Attack: Lucy Fire (必殺　ルーシィファイア Hissatsu Rūshi Faia): While Lucy is being controlled with Mr. Cursey, and after Natsu has ignited one of her hands, Happy grabs the doll and, employing his Max Speed, prompts it and Lucy's whole body to catch fire. He then sends both of them at the target, with Lucy delivering them a powerful melee blow with her legs, which is enhanced by both Natsu's fire and by the momentum gained from Happy's Aera. This "technique" was powerful enough to defeat Kain himself, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

Enhanced Durability: Despite her fragile appearance and her tendency to avoid combat, Lucy has proven herself to be quite resilient: she was able to survive a barrage of kicks from Kain Hikaru, an individual capable of breaking down trees and rocks through sheer physical power, without incapacitating damage, and also endure Kain trying to crush her head with his massive arms. Later on, during Team Natsu's fight with Hades, she survived being blasted, together with Erza, by one of his explosions.

Keen Intellect: Lucy has proven herself to be a very intelligent, logical and intuitive Mage. She was able to figure out that Bora had slipped a sleeping drug in her wine without tasting it. Being an avid reader, she has also shown to be adept at solving words-related puzzles and riddles: she ws able to see through the spell which Zekua Melon casted onto his Daybreak book and work out the book's true content; in addition, during the S-Class Trial, she figured out the location of Mavis Vermilion's grave with relative ease through the use of the "clues" hidden in the Trial's setup, being apparently the only member of Fairy Tail to achieve this.

Expert Melee Combatant: While not as proficient as the other members of Team Natsu, Lucy possesses some skill in melee combat: despite not being often shown due to her tendency to avoid battle or have her Spirits fight for her, she is efficient in using a whip, being skilled enough to grab opponents throught is use, and to employ it as an effective weapon at short-to-mid range. In addition, while never relying on punches, likely due to her limited physical strength, Lucy possesses some kicking prowess, being shown employing kicks in both comedic and real battle situations.
 * Lucy Kick (ルーシィ・キック Rūshi Kikku): A so called "final attack" which is more of simple, non-Magical melee move: Lucy lashes out in her target's direction,then jumps and uses the gained momentum to strike the opponent with simple kick. While not particularly powerful or exclusive in its performace, this attack was effective enough to defeat the leader of the Naked Mummy Dark Guild's raid squadron sent to rob the Love & Lucky Guild.

Equipment
Her basic items are her Celestial Spirit keys. Currently, she has fourteen different keys.

Gold Keys:
 * Aquarius: Summons the Water Bearer, Aquarius.
 * Taurus: Summons the Bull, Taurus.
 * Cancer: Summons the Crab, Cancer.
 * Virgo: Summons the Maiden, Virgo.
 * Sagittarius: Summons the Centaur, Sagittarius.
 * Leo: Summons the Lion, Loke.
 * Gemini: Summons the Twins, Gemi and Mini.
 * Aries: Summons the Ram, Aries.
 * Scorpio: Summons the Scorpion, Scorpio.
 * Capricorn: Summons the Goat, Capricorn.

Silver Keys:
 * Crux: Summons the Southern Cross, Crux.
 * Horologium: Summons the Clock, Horologium.
 * Lyra: Summons the Lyre, Lyra.
 * Nikora: Summons the Canis Minor, Nikora (Plue).

Normal Whip: A basic kind of whip which Lucy initially employed as her weapon of choice. It was brown in color, completely covered in small rhombs, and possessed a notably large handle, in comparison to the thin rope part. It ended in a distinctive, heart-shaped cracker. Lucy was usually shown carrying it around rolled up, secured to her left hip via a small clasp on her belt.

Fleuve d'étoiles (エトワールフルーグ 星の大河 Etowāru Furūgu): An extendable whip coming from the constellation of Eridanus, in the Celestial Spirit World. After losing her standard whip during her imprisonment in Edolas, Lucy was given this weapon by Virgo to fight Byro, in order to avoid depleting all of her Magic Power by summoning her Spirits. While not in use, only the whip's handle is visible, this possessing a simple, cylindrical form, with a dark central part and lighter edges; the lower one is covered in stud-like ornaments and has a small rope hanging from it, to which a star-shaped pendant is attached. When the weapon is being used, a jet of flowing water is created from the handle, which remains compact, and twists as if it were a whip's rope part. The water seems to have metarial properties, with Lucy being capable of grabbing foes or objects with it, as well as to perform attacks. The Fleuve d'étoiles is Lucy's current weapon, with her carrying it around in the very same spot which her old whip used to have, attached to her belt, in correspondence to her left hip. "Fleuve d'étoiles" is French for "River of Stars", living up to the whip's appearance and origin.

Gale-Force Reading Glasses (風詠みの眼鏡 Kazeyomi no Megane): Lucy, being an avid reader, possesses a pair of enchanted reading glasses, allowing her to read at an extremely accelerated rate. Through their use, she was capable of reading Daybreak, a full book, in only a few minutes. Having a simple, plain dark frame and elongated oval lenses, the only distinctive trait of such Magical glasses is the small carving on the left lens' bottom left part, consisting of a small wing flanked by a pair of stylized hearts. It's unknown what rate of reading speed Lucy's pair provides.

Relationships

 * Main article: Lucy's Relationships 

Ever since Lucy left her home and her father, Mr. Heartfilia, she began to see Fairy Tail as her new home. Because Lucy was a new member of Fairy Tail, she had always thought that it would be hard for her to blend in with the guild. Though in the end, she quickly manages to create tight bonds with her fellow guild members and becomes friends with most of them. She realized how strong the members of Fairy Tail's bonds can be during the war against Phantom Lord, and said that she was lucky to be a member of Fairy Tail.

Appearances in Other Media
Lucy is one of the representatives of Fairy Tail in the game Sunday VS Magazine: Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen!, the other being Natsu. Lucy is also a playable character in the first official Fairy Tail Video Game, Fairy Tail Portable Guild and its sequel, Fairy Tail Portable Guild 2. In the first, she is unlocked through quests, while she can be played from the start in the latter.

However, chapter 201 mentions that it has only been 6 months since she first joined Fairy Tail.
 * During a Q&A, when a reader asked who was the lead female character in Fairy Tail, Lucy immediately considered herself as such. However, Hiro Mashima said people can draw their own conclusions.

She wants to become a novel writer in the future. She has a good relationship with Natsu and Levy. Lucy thinks that every job she takes is difficult, and wants easier ones.

Early Concept
The earliest concept of Lucy was not much different from the original idea. Lucy used cards instead of keys, but because this idea has already been repeatedly used, Hiro Mashima decided to abandon it.

Early Lucy also had two pony-tails instead of one bunch, and wore a more retro-like clothing, with jabot, frills and lace. Her skirt before seems to have a bit of ruffles and her top has an inner scarf. In her early concept, she doesn't seem to be wielding her usual weapon, which is a black whip with a heart-like cracker at its end. Also, in her early concept, she's wearing high heels with laces, in contrast to her black high boots the she wears currently.
