Wendy Takigawa

Wendy Marvell (ウェンディ・マーベル Wendi Māberu) is a Sky Maiden and expert of Rune Scripting.

Born around four hundred years prior to X777, Wendy was orphaned at a tender age. She was adopted and raised by Grandeeney; during her tenure as Grandeeney's child, she became affiliated with the four other Dragon Slayer children, and met with them several times a year when their foster parents got together for meetings, wherein she would frequently beg Natsu and Gajeel to stop fighting. Wendy, at some point after, was used as a vessel for Grandeeney to travel to X777 using the Eclipse Gate. 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, where she stayed until she was chosen by her guild to aid the Allied Forces in their mission against the Oración Seis.

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 is chosen as Cait Shelter's delegate sent to the alliance meeting of the Fairy Tail Guild, the Lamia Scale Guild and the Blue Pegasus Guild along with the Exceed Carla; much to the shock of all the delegates, she is only a child. She explains to the delegates that although she has no particular combat prowess, she is quite adept in support and healing Magic. Though still seemingly uncomfortable with her age, the alliance are 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 states that Wendy is the Dragon Slayer of the Sky, and has the ability to heal injuries, with the Allied Forces deciding that recovering Wendy is 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're stopped by Angel, who attacks them. Hibiki is wounded and Lucy orders Carla to take Wendy away, for fear of her getting recaptured, with Carla instantly obeying. It is 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 is activated, she and Carla are caught up when its legs appear from out of the ground. Carla quickly carries 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's 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 reveals 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.

After hearing that Natsu will be intercepted by Zero and being determined to destroy the Lacrima crystals in each leg, Jellal asks Wendy if she can heal Natsu at any point in time during Natsu's fight with Zero. Wendy cannot use her power so excessively, so Jellal secretly goes to where Natsu and Zero are fighting to give Natsu the Flame of Rebuke. Because of this, Wendy goes in Jellal's place to Lacrima 6. All 6 Mages manage to destroy their crystals and finally become victorious in stopping Nirvana from destroying Cait Shelter and the rest of the world.

As Nirvana begins to collapse, Wendy and Carla are found by Jura, who brings them outside to safety. Wendy is happy to find both Natsu and Jellal safe, thanks to Hoteye, and rushes over to hug Natsu and thank him for keeping his promise to her. Unfortunately, the celebration doesn't last long as the new Magic Council shows up, taking both Hoteye and Jellal under arrest, while Natsu and Wendy can only protest at Lahar's cruelty.

Later, after some rest and recovery, Roubaul personally thanks the Allied Forces for stopping Nirvana, to which Natsu and the Trimens try to celebrate with a party. However, Cait Shelter doesn't join in and Roubaul reveals a shocking truth: the Cait Shelter guild is not real, rather, the guild is made up of the original Nirvit people, who now reside in the area as spirits to protect Nirvana from being activated again. Horrified, Wendy tries to stop Roubaul's spirit from disappearing, but to no avail, as her "Cait Shelter" mark disappears. Erza however, comforts Wendy and tells her to come with everyone to Fairy Tail.

On the boat ride to Fairy Tail, Wendy watches Natsu enjoying the benefits of transportation. She tells him that the effects wear off quickly and that repeated usage of the spell will weaken the results it grants. She also expresses her excitement of coming to join the Fairy Tail Guild. Upon arriving at Fairy Tail, she quickly becomes popular due to her cute appearance and her abilities as a Dragon Slayer. The guild happily welcomes her and throw her and Carla a party.

Powers and Abilities

 * Aera 「 空中要素 Kūchū Yōso; which literally means Aerial Element」: The ability that allows Wendy full control over the wind element as she can use it in a multitude ways of possibilities such as aerial combat, flight, air generation, wind control, and air formating.
 * Raeuth 「 ルーンスクリプト Rūnsukuriputo; which literally means Rune Scripting」: This form of magic script helps Wendy control her arcanium but also to improve her own blind spots when it comes to her only affinity for the wind element.
 * Raging Sky「 風力 Fūryoku; which literally means Wind Force 」: When using this attack, Wendy breathes a hurricane-like blast at her target. It has been shown to be powerful enough to destroy one of Nirvana's Lacrima crystals, and then match Sherria's Sky God's Bellow after having her Second Origin unlocked.
 * Sky Crushing Fang「 天龍の翼撃 Tenryū no Yokugeki」: This Magic features Wendy expelling a whirlwind of air from her arms to attack her surroundings. This Magic is a mimic of Natsu's Fire Dragon's Wing Attack.
 * Sky Crash「 天竜の鉤爪 Tenryū no Kagizume」: Wendy jumps and lifts her feet and unleashes large winds the moment the leg is swung down at the target.
 * Sky Storm「 天竜の砕牙 Tenryū no Saiga」: Wendy charges and swipes the target with her fingers leaving a wake of wind behind as she does so.
 * Sky Wave Wind「 天竜の波颪 Tenryū no Namioroshi」: Wendy swings her hand and subsequently generates a large and very powerful tornado.
 * First Sky Arrow「 天空甲矢 Tenkū Haya」: The user cloaks one of their legs in a whirlwind of a Sky Dragon's air, thrusting it at their target.
 * Flight: By generating a current of wind below her, Wendy is capable of lifting herself high up in the air and remain suspended. Such ability can be used for a variety of purposes: she can fly around freely at high speed, cross long distances in short times, remain out of enemy's range and evade their blows, as well as reach otherwise unreachable places.
 * Sky Defense「 魔風壁 Mafū Heki 」: Wendy is capable of creating a gigantic tornado that surrounds a certain area in order to cut it off from the outside world. This will leave the surrounded area unscathed, and objects and people from the outside will be able to enter it freely; however, the ones from the inside are bound to be cut into pieces by the slicing winds composing the hurricane if they try to get out of it. It seems to be a definitive and incredibly powerful Magic, as not even a Mage of Erza Scarlet's caliber was able to escape it.Erigor cast this spell around Oshibana Station to prevent Team Natsu from leaving the place. Due to its great magnitude, the spell seems to take some time (or at least specific preparations) to be cast, and appears to be quite exhausting, with Erigor having used up a large amount of his Magic Power to perform it, and being required to wait a bit afterwards before intensively using his Wind Magic again.
 * Sky Crash「 Sutōmu Buringā 」: Wendy performs several gestures with his left hand's fingers, and then moves his open hand towards the target. A powerful tornado is generated from it, which spins and strikes the opponent, cutting them with wind blades, stunning them with its rotating motion and subsequently sending them flying away. Such move can leave the foes open for Erigor to attack with his scythe, in order to deliver a finishing blow. The spell is portrayed differently in the anime, where the tornado is generated in a given area targeted by Erigor, instead of coming out of his hand.
 * Sky Storm Mail「 Sutōmu Meiru 」: One of Erigor's trump cards, he initiates this spell by crossing his hands before him. This prompts many air currents to gather around him, creating a hurricane surrounding his entire body. While clad in this "armor", Erigor's destructive power is boosted, allowing him to go into melee to perform wind-enhanced blows capable of shattering rock. Predictably, his defense is also increased exponentially, with the currents moving around him being strong enough to repel enemies and prevent them from nearing him. In addition, due to Storm Mail blowing wind inside out, all the fire around Erigor will be extinguished, meaning that fire-based attacks directed against him won't land. Erigor himself went on to say that "Flame cannot defeat wind", and effectively nullified most of Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic spells while in this state. However, Natsu eventually managed to strip Erigor off his Storm Mail by heating up the surrounding area with fire enhanced by his rage, his so-called "Flame of Emotion", creating an area of low pressure which literally sucked away the currents protecting Erigor's body.
 * Sky Shred: While Erigor is clad in Storm Mail, he is capable of firing barrages of wind blades at his opponents just by swinging his arms. These, unlike normal wind blades, take on a more compact form, resembling flat, elongated and arched projectiles of sort. This attack is unnamed in the manga, but is given a name in the anime, where it is also portrayed differently, with Erigor summoning forth his Magic Seal and then shooting the blades from it with a sound reminiscent of an automatic firearm.
 * Emera Baram「 Emera Baramu 」: Arguably one of his most destructive spells, Erigor described Emera Baram as "soaring Wind Magic that cuts up everything". He initiates this spell by bending his arms and pointing his hands towards the sky, with their index and middle fingers stretched. He subsequently places his two index and middle fingers in a "X" shape in front of him, generating a halo of light around his hands, from which a large, concentrated blast of wind blades is fired towards his enemies, slicing them up. While he performs Emera Baram, small leaves are shown floating around him. This spell was shown capable of cutting down the large steel beams composing the railroad Erigor and Natsu were standing on, and Erigor himself expressed surprise because Natsu's body was still in one piece after being struck by it, implying Emera Baram to be capable of completely tearing apart foes. This spell seems to be somewhat renowned, as Happy recognized it, and went on to worryingly state that Natsu would have been chopped to bits if he were struck by it. However, contrary to previsions, Natsu was able to survive being hit by such spell, greatly surprising Erigor.

Equipment

 * Magedon: The cryptic relic Magedon is a sky crystal that's sky blue which contains immense sky magic that helps aid Wendy in her magic performance not only that but it also grants her high protection, enhanced intelligence, and strengthened senses.
