Lucy Heartfilia

Lucy Heartfilia (ルーシィ・ハートフィリア Rūshi Hātofiria) is the main female protagonist of Fairy Tail, who joins the Fairy Tail guild at the beginning of the series. She is also the viewpoint characte of the series, which is narrated from her perspective. Her given name was inspired by The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". She is a 17-year-old celestial wizard who specializes in summoning contracted celestial spirits from another realm using a set of keys called Gatekeys. Despite being an "owner" of her spirits, Lucy treats them like her friends. She also carries a whip as her personal weapon, which she wields on occasion to fight alongside her spirits. Among the spirits she is contracted with, she currently possesses ten of the twelve gold keys that can open the Twelve Gates of the Zodiac as well as five of the sliver keys; Nikora/Plue, Horologium, Lyra, Crux and Pyxis. Lucy comes from one of the wealthiest families in Fiore. Before the beginning of the series, she runs away from home with the intent of joining Fairy Tail due to the death of her mother Layla and her strained relationship with her father Jude. She is invited into Fairy Tail by Natsu and Happy at the start of the series, and forms a team with them shortly after to perform jobs and earn money to pay for her rented house in Magnolia. During the series, Lucy cuts ties with her father when he commissions Phantom Lord to kidnap her and return her home, but makes peace with him later on after he loses his fortune. As one of the saner members of the guild, Lucy regularly gawks at the odd habits of her guildmates, which include running gags such as characters (often Natsu and Happy) suddenly appearing in her house without her knowing beforehand. She is voiced by Aya Hirano in Japanese and Cherami Leigh in English.
