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.

With the events revolving around Edolas over, Levy was named as a candidate for the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, leaving her surprised, wondering if Makarov actually called her name; Jet and Droy were delighted to hear her nomination. Jet and Droy then start arguing about who's going to be her partner whilst Levy begins to lose heart at the idea due to her lack of strength. Gajeel, however, comes up to her and states that if she wants to be an S-Class Mage, he would be her trial partner. Though she still remains pessimistic about her chances of even lasting long, Gajeel gives her words of encouragement, saying that he'll make her bigger, causing her to blush. As the participants head towards Tenrou Island on a boat, Levy becomes dizzy due to the extreme heat. Shortly thereafter, Makarov appears and explains the rules of the first portion of the trial. When the first trial starts, Fried places a rune on the boat, preventing everyone from leaving for five minutes. However, Levy manages to rewrite the rune rather quickly, allowing only her and Gajeel to leave. Before jumping off the boat, Levy mockingly apologizes to Lucy. Upon arriving, Levy and Gajeel pick the 'quiet' path, granting them an easy road with no battles. In the second part of the trial, Levy and Gajeel start a search for the First Guild Master's grave. Along the way, Gajeel complained about how he did not get to fight anyone, namely Natsu and Erza, prompting Levy to become angered at the fact that he did not look at her whereupon she ran away. However, Levy was very quickly surrounded by two members of Grimoire Heart. Taken completely by surprise, Levy is almost instantaneously defeated. Before they can manage to kill her, however, Gajeel arrived and takes the attack, causing Levy to blush. After Levy and Gajeel find out that their plan is to eradicate Fairy Tail, Yomazu uses Gō, which creates a painfully deafening sound. Kawazu then makes his move, though Levy pushes Gajeel out of the way so as to prevent him from taking damage. However, the Dark Mage then follows up by releasing his Egg Buster, cascading Gajeel and Levy with a superfluous amount of eggs. Levy then proceeds to use Solid Script: Silent to cancel out Yomazu's Gō and Solid Script: Fire to boil the eggs that Kawazu had produced, however Kawazu simply releases more eggs, breaking the fire apart. When Gajeel is hit by Narukami—which slices right through his body—Levy bursts into tears. When Gajeel tells her to escape and let everyone know what is happening on the island, Levy uses Solid Script: Iron to create iron for Gajeel. Telling him not to die, she then runs off.

As she looks for the other members of Fairy Tail, she frantically ponders what could be the reason for Grimoire Heart's impending invasion of Tenrou Island before remembering that she must warn every Fairy Tail Mage present on the island before something catastrophic happens. Not watching where she was going, Levy accidentally trips and knocks herself out. When she comes to, she finds herself in front of Erza and Juvia, who ask her what happened. Informing them of the perils to come, the three women run back towards the site of Gajeel's battle, where they find Gajeel falling to the ground, heavily wounded, in victory. Frantically running towards the Iron Dragon Slayer, Levy begs Gajeel to 'hang in there' whilst leaning over his battered body, shaking in anxiety. Moments later, as Erza begins to interrogate Yomazu, Levy announces that she would take Gajeel to the camp. She is later seen being surrounded with the Mages deployed by Grimoire Heart with a still-unconscious Gajeel hanging from her shoulder. Levy was eventually able to escape and reaches the camp, crying over Gajeel and Mirajane's bodies. Suddenly, Elfman arrives at the camp carrying an unconscious Evergreen, where he unwillingly admits that the enemy is strong and that they just could not win. Although Levy is also troubled by this fact, she stands up and states the enemy is indeed strong, however, that simply means that Fairy Tail needs to unite to match their strength. She states that the exam made everyone go their separate ways, but the situation now calls for everyone to unite; she cries out for everyone to unite their feelings and fight back. Levy was then seen watching over Gajeel, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna when Panther Lily arrives and tells her that Natsu and the others are on their way. Soon after, Rustyrose shows up and challenges her, Panther Lily, and Lisanna to battle. During the course of the battle, she notices Bluenote Stinger's Magic. Later, when Fried and Bickslow arrive, she is both shocked and happy to see them and marvels at the true power of the Thunder God Tribe. Levy, along with Panther Lily and Lisanna, then proceeds to warn Fried and Bickslow to be careful when Rustyrose attacks them with his Ghosts of Brittia, however, when Azuma uproots the Tenrou Tree, which gives protection and power to all those with the Mark of Fairy Tail, Levy and others collapse. After Rustyrose is defeated, Natsu and the others arrive at the camp, where Panther Lily suggests splitting into two teams, to which Levy agrees; she wishes for them to divide into attack and defense teams. When Natsu got up to go battle Hades, Levy says she will stay with Bickslow and Fried and help with the defense. Before the attack group leaves, Levy wishes Lucy good luck.
