Gray Fullbuster

Gray Fullbuster

Gray Fullbuster (グレイ・フルバスター Gurei Furubasutā?) is an 18-year-old wizard who specializes in performing Ice Make magic (氷の造形魔法 Kōri no Zōkei mahō), which allows him to instantaneously conjure various kinds of weapons, shields, and other inanimate objects made from ice. He is more level-headed and competent in performing jobs than most of his guildmates, but has a habit of removing his shirt or stripping down to his underwear, often without realizing it, which Mashima based on a personal habit of his own. Gray has a fierce rivalry with Natsu Dragneel due to their opposing personalities and magical elements. During his early childhood, Gray is taken in by Ur as an orphan after his hometown is destroyed by the demon Deliora. He learns magic from her with the intention of taking revenge against Deliora, and develops his stripping habit as a result of his training to withstand the freezing temperatures of Ur's hometown. He later moves on to join Fairy Tail after Ur sacrifices herself to defeat Deliora instead. Gray clashes with his fellow student Lyon Vastia and Ur's daughter Ultear Milkovich, and eventually helps both come to terms with their pasts as Ur did for him. In the original Japanese series, his voice actor is Yuichi Nakamura. In the English dub, his voice is supplied by Newton Pittman.
