Lucy Heartfilia

 

        Lucy Heartfilia is a 17-year-old wizard and the initial viewpoint character of Fairy Tail. Mashima named the character after The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".Specializing in celestial magic, Lucy can summon celestial spirits from a set of magical Gatekeys. Throughout the series, Lucy occasionally fights with a whip. Virgo later provides her with a version of this weapon capable of using magical energy, called Fleuve d'Étoiles. During her early childhood, Lucy establishes herself as a celestial wizard. Her mother Layla Heartfilia dies when Lucy is ten years old. Six years later, Lucy sets out to join Fairy Tail due to a strained relationship with her father, Jude Heartfilia

         After befriending Natsu Dragneel and Happy, Lucy joins Fairy Tail and works guild-posted jobs to fund her rented house in Magnolia. To that end, she pursues her dream of writing a novel on her adventures with Fairy Tail. As one of the saner members of the guild, Lucy regularly gawks at the odd habits of her guildmates, who frequently show up uninvited inside her house. After Phantom Lord's dissolution, Lucy breaks ties with her father, warning him to never interfere with Fairy Tail again. Eventually she reconciles with Jude after he loses his fortune, and professes her love for him after learning of his death during her disappearance on Sirius Island. In the original Japanese series, she is voiced by Aya Hirano.In the English dub, her voice is supplied by Cherami Leigh. Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network praised Lucy as being "sympathetic."
