Biography
Lucy Heartfilia (Japanese: ルーシィ・ハートフィリア Hepburn: Rūshii Hātofiria) was a female human born the daughter of Jude Heartfilia (ジュード・ハートフィリア Jūdo Hātofiria) and his wife Layla Heartfilia (レイラ・ハートフィリア Reira Hātofiria). Her parents were originally members of a merchants guild named Love & Lucky which was where they met one another and later decided to go independent when her mother became pregnant. The couple decided to name their daughter after noticing that the merchant's guild was missing the letter 'K' in the name and became inspired by the name 'Lucy'. Afterwards, the couple made the Heartfilia family into a wealthy and powerful business empire in Fiore. Growing up in her family's mansion, Lucy had a good relationship with all the staff at her estate. She came to develop a love for her mother Layla's celestial spirits at an early age. However, when she was 10 years old, her mother passed away leaving only her father to care for her though he became obsessed with money and the business leading to him neglecting Lucy. Lucy came to inherit two of her mother's gold Gatekeys that summon powerful zodiac spirits with her later acquiring a third key by herself. Her estrangement from her father led to Lucy deciding to leave home with the intention of joining the Fairy Tail guild, which she admired despite the reputation of its members' inclination to cause unintended property damage. As such, she came to leave home when she was 16 years old and she set out to be an adventurer.
Later on, she came to be in Hargeon where she lamented on the lack of magic stores in the town. She came to find a single shop and attempted to get a discount on a Celestial Spirit named Nikora by using her sex appeal but even then could not afford the item. Whilst there, she came to be rescued from a criminal by Natsu Dragneel who was a fire wizard and Dragon Slayer who was accompanied by an Exceed named Happy. She later came to learn that he was a member of Fairy Tail where he invited her to join the guild after learning of her goals. The pair quickly formed a partnership as the two travelled to Magnolia where thy jointly paid rent for her house in the town that was home to Fairy Tail. Lucy came to quickly demonstrate her proficiency in summoning spirits and handling a whip in battle.
A day or so later, Lucy arrives at the Fairy Tail guild, in awe and mostly shocked at the many varied personalities of its members. A brawl develops in front of her, started by Natsu, and during that fight, she meets other members Gray and Mirajane. She also comments that none of the guild members are acting normal. The brawl is eventually stopped by Fairy Tail's Guild Master Makarov before it escalates into one with usages of Magic. Makarov initially begins to scold the members for their destructive actions, but soon breaks into an inspiring speech about following the way of Fairy Tail. Night falls, and Lucy opts to have her member stamp on the back of her right hand. Whilst there, Natsu looked for another job on the guild's request board, but overhears that Macao Conbolt, a Fairy Tail member, has been missing for a week, and his son Romeo wishes for Makarov to look for him, which the latter refuses to do. Natsu punches the board and leaves with Happy. Curious, Lucy asks Mirajane what is wrong with him, and she explains that perhaps, Natsu sees his own past happening with Romeo; in the past, his foster parent, Igneel the fire Dragon, suddenly disappeared. Out of curiosity, Lucy decides to go along with them into the furiously snowing mountains and begins to regret coming because of the sheer cold. Stealing Natsu's blanket and wrapping herself up in it, she then summons her Celestial Spirit Horologium, a clock spirit with a compartment where she can hide herself in for warmth.
One Vulcan, a monster Macao had been subduing, suddenly appears and attacks Natsu before kidnapping Lucy, as it liked women. The Vulcan takes her to its cave, where it parades around her until Horologium disappears. As the Vulcan advances, Natsu catches up and demands to know where Macao is. Just as the Vulcan appears to confide Macao's whereabouts, he abruptly pushes Natsu off a cliff instead. Enraged and horrified, Lucy summons the (perverted) Zodiac Spirit, Taurus. Taurus and the Vulcan immediately begin to battle, but stop as Natsu reappears, having been saved by Happy. He knocks out Taurus, thinking it is another monster. Natsu then fights and swiftly defeats the Vulcan. Much to their surprise, the Vulcan is actually Macao, who had been "taken over" by the Vulcan's Magic. Having been smashed into the wall, Macao falls through a hole in the wall and is saved from falling down the mountain, thanks to the combined efforts of Natsu, Happy, Lucy and the revived Taurus. Macao, now back up, is found to be seriously wounded, and Natsu resorts to the extreme of burning one of Macao's wounds shut, which brings him back to consciousness. He tells them that he had successfully subdued 19 other Vulcans, but had been taken over by the twentieth one. At this, Lucy is in awe and feels she is no match for them. They then return to Fairy Tail's town, Magnolia, and Macao reunites with his son, Romeo.

Powers and abilities
Lucy Heartfilia was a human of the Earthlands who had a degree of magic power that allowed her to become a mage. She came to have a degree of physical skill that she could use in combat. One form of attack she made was the Lucy Kick (ルーシィ・キック Rūshi Kikku) which was actually a simple, non-magical melee move. She was shown as being proficient in the use of a whip as she demonstrated being skilled enough to grab opponents through it and to employ it as an effective weapon at short-to-mid range.
As a magic user, Lucy was skilled in the art of Celestial Spirit Magic (星霊 魔法 Seirei Mahō) that was a form of spatial magic that allowed her to summon Celestial Spirits (星霊 Seirei). These magical beings resided within the Celestial Spirit World (星霊界 Seireikai) with her able to summon them through the keys that opened their respective Gates. During the summoning, the Key was enveloped in a soft golden light as the Spirit was brought onto the field. Once a contract had been formed, the Spirit became available for use and could be summoned on certain days. They could be used for any task ranging from fighting her side to performing select tasks. Her Celestial Spirits varied in levels of power with different ones being more suited for certain tasks than others some of which were unrelated to battle. Over time, she gained the advanced skill of being able to summon multiple spirits at a time.
The spirits that she could summon included:
- Aquarius (アクエリアス Akueriasu) :
- Taurus (タウロス Taurosu) :
- Virgo (バルゴ Barugo) :
- Leo (レオ Reo) :

- Cancer (キャンサー Kyansā) :
- Capricorn (カプリコーン Kapurikōn) :
- Scorpio (スコーピオン Sukōpion) :

Among the techniques known to her included:
- Force Gate Closure (強制閉門 Kyōsē Hēmon) : she was able to force the gate of a Celestial Spirit to close against their will prompting them to return to the Celestial Spirit World.
- Recompense Summoning (代償召喚術 Daishō Shōkanjutsu) : a technique that allowed the spell caster to summon the Celestial Spirit King. This could only be achieved by sacrificing one of the keys in the wizards possession which in turn could only be achieved if the summoner and spirit had a level of mutual trust with one another.
- Urano Metria (ウラノ・メトリア Urano Metoria) :
After further training, she was able to summon a Star Dress (星霊衣スタードレス Sutā Doresu) that was an extension of her Celestial Spirit Magic. This allowed her to incorporate the power of a Celestial Spirit into her body by placing the key of the respective being onto her chest. The result was the manifestation of a clothing that was centered around the Spirit in question.
Similar to other mages, she was able to perform a Unison Raid (合体魔法ユニゾンレイド Yunizon Reido) whereby she combined her abilities with another person's magic to create a single combined stronger attack against a target. She was shown to had performed Unison Raids with both Juvia Locksear and Wendy Marvell.
She also had Gale-Force Reading Glasses (風詠みの眼鏡 Kazeyomi no Megane) that were a pair of enchanted reading glasses which allowed her to read at an extremely accelerated rate. Another magical item in her possession was a Light Pen (光筆 Hikari Pen) that allowed her to write even on air and in various colours.
