Biography
Wendy Marvell (Japanese: ウェンディ・マーベル, Hepburn: Wendi Māberu) was a female human born in the Earthlands around 400 years ago. She lived during a time when Dragons had preyed on humanity and to combat the large beasts there was the rise of Dragon Slayers that utilised the creatures magic against them. However, this saw one of the Dragon Slayers transform into one of the creatures where he became the Black Dragon Acnologia that started killing the rest of the Dragons and terrorised the lands. Around this time, Wendy was one of many orphans where she along with four others were chosen to be Dragon Slayers by Dragons that cared for them. The five were to be part of a plot to defeat Acnologia and the Dragons bonded their souls to their charges who were dispatched 400 years into the future via the Eclipse Gate in a time when ethernano was rich in the world. They five were then to be trained to adulthood and work together to defeat Acnologia who had survived in hibernation over the centuries. However, upon arriving into the modern age, an incident occurred that separated the Dragon Slayers from one another where they each were raised independently and they came to forget their origins. Wendy was among their number where she came to make a life for herself in the world. After wandering around trying to locate her lost mother, Wendy ran into Mystogan, who introduced himself to her as Jellal. Mystogan allowed her to travel with him, though he was also hopelessly lost on the road. One day, Wendy heard Mystogan utter something by the name of Anima, and, shortly afterwards, he deemed it too dangerous for Wendy to travel with him further. He left her in the care of a nearby guild by the name of Cait Shelter. When the two Dragons Igneel and Grandeeney meet, they discuss both Wendy and Natsu, and state, that the next time the two meet, a more "friendly relationship" could be established.
Wendy was later chosen by Cait Shelter to serve as their delegate to the alliance meeting of the Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale and the Blue Pegasus Guild along with the Exceed Carla. All the delegates were shocked to find that the Cait Shelter representative happened to be only a child. She explained to the delegates that although she had no particular combat prowess but was quite adept in support and healing Magic. Though still seemingly uncomfortable with her age, the alliance were briefed about their targets and set off to find them, quickly locating the very people they were talking about not long before -or moreover, their enemy finds them after the Blue Pegasus' airship is destroyed. Wendy quickly hides herself behind a rock and stays there for the duration of the battle as she watches the others get overpowered by the Oración Seis. Just as the Oración Seis' leader Brain is about to finish the Allied Forces off, he spots Wendy and halts his attack, surprised at the very sight of her. Declaring that Wendy is the very person he needs for his plans, Wendy and Happy, who was grabbed by mistake, are kidnapped by Brain. After an argument between the members of the Allied Forces over an ill Erza; who was poisoned during the fight by Cobra's snake Cubellios, Carla stated that Wendy was the Dragon Slayer of the Sky, and had the ability to heal injuries, with the Allied Forces deciding that recovering Wendy was their biggest priority.
Meanwhile, at the Oración Seis' hideout, Brain reveals Wendy's unique healing abilities to his comrades and has Racer bring a large coffin to their location. Brain states that he plans to use Wendy's healing abilities to revive whoever is inside the coffin, but Wendy refuses to help anyone that is 'bad'. The person in the coffin turns out to be none other than Jellal Fernandes, who knows the location of Nirvana, but is in an comatose state. Believing Jellal to be Mystogan and hearing his crimes, Wendy has internal conflicts as to whether or not to heal him, because while she remembers Jellal as being kind and caring, she has heard of the crimes he committed after their separation. To stop Wendy from postponing the healing and allowing the Allied Forces enough time to find her, Brain declares that Wendy only has five minutes to think over her answer, but also states that he will harm Jellal if Wendy refuses. Natsu arrives at the scene with Carla a little while later, but it is too late, as Wendy has revived Jellal. Wendy proclaims that she is sorry for what she did, and collapses soon after from the exhaustion of having healed Jellal. Using Jellal's revival and turn against the Oración Seis as a distraction, Natsu takes the unconscious Wendy along with Carla to heal Erza. However, they are intercepted by Racer, who is held off and distracted by Gray Fullbuster. Eventually Natsu rendezvous with Lucy Heartfilia and Hibiki Lates. Natsu wakes Wendy up then pleads with her to save Erza. She gladly agrees and does so, though she is still a little remorseful having over revived Jellal. She, along with everyone else, suddenly notices a pillar of light erupt from the ground and realizes that Nirvana has been activated. After Nirvana is triggered, she is knocked out by Hibiki in order to prevent her from changing allegiances. Hibiki carries Wendy as Lucy, Carla, and Happy follow Natsu and Erza, who are heading for Nirvana. However, they were stopped by Angel, who attacked them. Hibiki is wounded and Lucy orders Carla to take Wendy away, for fear of her getting recaptured, with Carla instantly obeying. It was later shown that Wendy and Carla have hidden themselves on a mountainside, away from Nirvana's evil influence. Wendy, having regained consciousness, still feels remorse for not being more useful. As she and Carla talk, Wendy reveals her acquaintance with Jellal and the rumors she heard about his Siegrain half. She however, still believes Jellal is the kind young man she once knew, and questions whether or not Jellal will remember her after such a long time.
When Nirvana's second stage was activated, she and Carla were caught up when its legs appear from out of the ground. Carla quickly carried Wendy away, and Wendy states they should head for Nirvana and check things out. As they land on Nirvana to take a rest, Wendy suddenly realizes that Nirvana might be heading towards her guild, Cait Shelter. With this, she goes to find and help the members of the Allied Forces, finding Natsu soon after and curing him of poison, as well as casting a spell to temporarily relieve him of his motion sickness. Wendy still believes that it was her fault that Nirvana was activated, and thinks that Jellal might know something on how to stop it. She tells the others that she has to go check up on something and runs off. Both Wendy and Carla begin looking for Jellal, and Wendy reassures herself of Nirvana's destination being Cait Shelter. When Carla is too exhausted to fly any further, the two continue on foot. They soon locate Erza and Jellal, and are relieved at finding the two, while Zero is introduced as Brain's second persona, and easily defeats Natsu, Gray and Lucy. Zero activates Nirvana to fire on the Cait Shelter guild, and when it seems like all hope is lost for Cait Shelter, the rest of the allied Mages manage to temporarily stop Nirvana from firing through the use of the Magic Bomber: Christina. With that, Hibiki revealed a way to destroy Nirvana: a plan that requires 6 Mages to perform destructive Magic. The Mages need to destroy the Lacrima crystals located in each of Nirvana's legs, something which will cause Nirvana to stop functioning. Though at first they lack enough people; Natsu, Gray and Lucy rise up once again in order to save Cait Shelter. Along with Erza, Jellal and Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, they total the 6 Mages that will be needed.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Wendy Marvell was portrayed as a petite young girl with long, dark blue hair often styled with twin tails tied by ribbons. She had large brown eyes and a youthful face, reflecting her age compared to the older Dragon Slayers. Wendy’s guild mark was located on her right shoulder. Her initial outfit consisted of a simple, sleeveless dress with light designs and sandals, which emphasized her childlike and modest nature. In later arcs, she wore more elaborate dresses or combat-ready clothes, but her small stature and long blue hair remained her most defining features. Her skill in sky magic led to her being known by the epithet of the Sky Sorceress (天空の巫女 Tenkū no Miko).
In personality, Wendy was polite, gentle, and reserved. She often spoke in a soft and apologetic manner, bowing or addressing her older guildmates respectfully. Despite her timidity, she showed bravery when others were in danger, such as rushing to heal Jellal in the midst of battle or standing in front of Carla to protect her from Brain’s magic. She was compassionate, willing to put herself in harm’s way for the safety of her friends, and while hesitant in combat situations, her sense of responsibility always pushed her forward.
Wendy's closest friend was her Exceed Companion Carla who had always accompanied her during her life.
Powers and abilities
As a magic user, she came to be trained in the art of Sky Dragon Slayer Magic (天の滅竜魔法 Ten no Metsuryū Mahō) that allowed her to wield the power of a sky dragon. In abilities, Wendy Marvell was identified as a Sky Dragon Slayer, trained by Grandeeney, the Sky Dragon. Unlike Natsu or Gajeel, her Dragon Slayer Magic focused primarily on support, healing, and enhancement. She was capable of casting advanced healing spells that could mend injuries at a rapid rate, as well as support magic that enhanced the physical and magical abilities of her allies. In battle, she could unleash offensive wind-based Dragon Slayer spells, such as Sky Dragon’s Roar, creating destructive gusts of wind. However, in her first appearances, she primarily relied on her healing arts, marking her as a rare supportive Dragon Slayer.
One of her most powerful attacks was Sky Dragon's Roar (天龍の咆哮 Tenryū no Hōkō) that was her variation of the Dragon's Roar that was based on wind magic where she could unleash a hurricane-like blast at her targets.
She later came to be able to enter into the Dragon Force (ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu) state by consuming air with high concentration of Ethernano with this being the final most powerful form capable of being achieved by a Dragon Slayer. This power was said to be comparable to that of a real Dragon with Wendy gaining pink hair that grew longer and curved upwards whilst her back sprouted white scales similar to Grandeeney with similar ones on her hands as well as her feet. She later cam to be talented enough to be able to enter the Dragon Force state at will thus increasing her fighting potential.
