Levy McGarden

Levy McGarden is a female anime and manga character who features in Fairy Tail.

Biography

Levy McGarden (Japanese: レビィ・マクガーデン, Hepburn: Rebi Makugāden) was a female human born in the Earthlands where she was 11 years old when she came to be in the company of the Fairy Tail Guild. She was present when the Strauss siblings came to join the guild where she was introduced to Mirajane Strauss, Elfman Strauss and Lisanna Strauss. At some point, she met Jet (ジェット Jetto) and Droy (ドロイ Doroi) where both asked her out but she rejected them in a matter of seconds. Despite that, she maintained a close friendship with the two where together they made up team Shadow Gear (シャドウ・ギア Shadō Gia).

Levy ventured to the request board, intent on accepting the mission to retrieve the book Daybreak from Everlue's mansion, though Mirajane tells her that Natsu and Lucy had already taken it, She was then further deterred by Makarov, who advises her not to bother with it as the quest is likely to become rather complicated. Levy and the rest of Shadow Gear can be seen amongst the crowd when Natsu and Erza are fighting each other; Levy agrees that Erza is the most powerful female Mage in Fairy Tail, though Jet points out that the strongest men in Fairy Tail are Laxus, Mystogan and Gildarts. Levy and Shadow Gear are then later shocked to witness a messenger from the Magic Council arrive, intent on arresting Erza. Levy, along with Jet and Droy, are attacked by Phantom Lord's Gajeel Redfox, and after being badly beaten, are chained to a tree in a crucifixion-esque style; Levy is humiliatingly branded with the mark of Phantom Lord. After being found, the state of her and her teammates triggers the start of the Fairy Tail-Phantom Lord war. During the events that transpire, Levy remains in the guild, recovering. Later, after being fully healed, Levy celebrates their victory over Phantom Lord with the rest of her guildmates.

Levy is seen together with Jet and Droy swimming in the guild's new indoor swimming pool. After Makarov introduced Gajeel as a new Fairy Tail member, Levy was seen saying to Lucy, despite her bodily tremors, that Gajeel's presence was not bothering her. Levy then witnessed, and admired, Lucy's bravery at insulting Gajeel for his blatant rudeness. As Jet and Droy venture out to pay Gajeel back for his harming of them during the Fairy Tail-Phantom Lord war, Levy tries to stop them. However, Laxus arrives and begins to attack them as well, after which Levy realizes that Gajeel was not fighting back on purpose, as he wants them to recognize him as their guildmate rather than an enemy. As Levy tries to stop Laxus, he attacks her with a bolt of lightning, though Gajeel intercepts the attack, much to her surprise. She is next seen participating in the Miss Fairy Tail contest where she uses her Magic to make fancy texts appear in midair, impressing Jet and Droy. After her turn ends, she, along with the other contestants, is turned into stone by Evergreen and is used as a hostage for Laxus' scheme. When Erza defeats Evergreen, Levy and the other petrified girls are returned to their normal states. While Makarov informs them of Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe's actions, Laxus invokes his Thunder Palace, which leaves the entire town at his mercy. She then notices that Fried's restrictions are a form of rune-based Magic and informs the others that she will undo the restrictions so that Natsu and Gajeel can leave, as she believes them to be capable of defeating Laxus. While working, Levy notices Gajeel staring at her and informs him that he must defeat Laxus.

After Lucy defeats Bickslow, Levy states that such a thing was to be expected, before resolving to do her best as well. She then manages to rewrite Fried's runes, allowing Natsu and Gajeel to finally exit the guild and fight. Before they leave, she tells them to stay away from one another as Fried's enchantments are still active in the surrounding area and that if they were both caught in one, everything would be over. With ten minutes left until Thunder Palace rains down on Magnolia, Porlyusica arrives to help the extremely sickened Makarov. After Levy escorts Porlyusica to Makarov, she is told, after having the man examined, to bring Laxus to the guild, as Makarov may not have much time left. Levy eventually makes her way to the Kardia Cathedral, where she finds Laxus preparing to cast Fairy Law; she informs him that Makarov was dying and begs him to stop and visit him. Laxus, however, ignores her and casts Fairy Law, seeing his grandfather's state as a way for him to become Master. However, Laxus' attempt failed and Levy and the rest of Magnolia emerged unharmed. After Laxus is defeated, Levy participates in the Fantasia Parade together with the other Miss Fairy Tail contestants. She is later seen raising her hand, along the rest of the guild, signaling to the departing Laxus that they will be always watching over him.
