Lucy Heartfilia

Lucy Heartfilia (ルーシィ・ハートフィリア Rūshii Hātofiria?) is a 17-year-old wizard, and the primary female protagonist of the series; she is the initial viewpoint character. Mashima named the character after The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".[ Specializing in celestial magic (星霊魔法 seirei mahō), Lucy can summon celestial spirits from a set of magical Gatekeys (ゲートの鍵 Gēto no Kagi). 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 (エトワールフルーグ Etowāru Furūgu, lit. "River of Stars"). During her early childhood, Lucy establishes herself as a celestial wizard. Her mother Layla Heartfilia (レイラ・ハートフィリア Reira Hātofiria) 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 (ジュード・ハートフィリア Jūdo Hātofiria).
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."
