What is your favorite characters from the anime Fairy Tail?!
My first favorite is Lily because he can turn into a bigger cat that has an awesome extending sword
My second is Gray because I like Ice magic and because he's just weird
how about you guys?

Well, I'm only three episodes in so I don't really have one yet, I do like the fact that the guild leader combines my favorite colors on his clothes the same way I do though. I'll post here later when I get deeper into the show.

I have just recently heard of this show about a week ago, I plan on watching a episode tonight and will post what my answer is tomorrow if I feel I have a few answers.

um ive been watching fairy tail for a long time now.....my fav are natsu and Lucy why? Because they are so cool!

thekenny99 :
Really? I always kinda despised Laxus from the beginning but started to like him more later

fairy tail you say?
i will go with lucky and ...i dont know maybe natsu i dont watch fairy tail that much sorry ):

Here is my list of my top 25 favorite characters in the anime. They are not in any order but I do like all of these characters a lot for all different reasons. Hope you enjoy the list!(Spoilers throughout my list)

1) Natsu:
Alright the main character of this anime even though Lucy seems to be the actual main character. When he was introduced it was awesome but once Lucy found out he was the Flaming Salamander and took her to the guild it was a pretty cool moment in anime history. I was actually not expecting Natsu to be as inexperienced as the anime made him be when Lucy found him. He is the type of main character who has all this power but has no idea how to use it properly which is actually a shame because apparently he was taught magic by a dragon as a young child and was in the guild at a young age as well. However, as the manga progresses I can tell that Natsu will be the main character at the end of the series to deal whatever the final blow may be to the last evil wizard.
2) Gray:
I like this character the most not because of his role in the anime and manga which is a bigger role but because of the fact that his back story is quite amazing and heart warming between master and apprentice which I actually had at one point in my life so it really struck a cord. I really like ice as an element so that was a very good + for me.
3) Erza:
Hot, hot, hot, hot, and extremely powerful. So not only does she pack a punch without even throwing one but when she throws a punch it is also extremely powerful. I love her fighting style especially in the alternate world. Oh and red heads are always awesome in anime like Red Haired Shanks
4) Gajeel:
Not that great of an attitude for the type of character he is but I do like his battling style and how he is evolving as a character into the good guy. Also I love when he became a ahadow iron dragon slayer in the manga that was just AWESOME!!!!
5) Mirajane:
Is it just me or is she really all not that good and strong as the anime and manga make her to be? Unless it is just because she became rusty but even then for an S-class she is not as strong as I thought she would be especially against opponents where she could have easily been able to beat fairly quickly.
6) Laxus:
Too arrogant but his brute power is amazing and his attacks and battling style is always fun to see. Not my absolute favorite but watching him even when he was the bad boy type in the beginning was entertaining.
7) Elfman:
Not the strongest character but emotionally speaking he was always that type of character which I would have to respect for his morals sort of like if Goku was not the main character of Dragon Ball and the other titles in that series if he was as strong as only Yamcha I would still have to respect Goku for his morals and codes that he follows.
8) Gildarts:
Just incredibly strong and can pretty much go head to head with anyone this character is possibly my favorite character in this anime who is a male. I say that because all the women in this anime are all so cute <3.
9) Jura:
His powers are just really awesome especially the bending the earth how he wants as well as that awesome Golem defense he has. This character is easily in my top 5 favorite characters based on powers alone.
10) Bacchus:
The only drunk anime character other than Master Roshi and Rock Lee who is stronger when he is drunk. So that being said he deserves a spot in my top 25.
11) Minerva:
Sure she is extremely evil and I would never try to battle her 1v1 even if I was stronger than her. But her sex appeal is through the roof! She is definitely in my top 10 female characters.
12) Orga:
Sure a complete knock off of Laxus but he is pretty powerful and definitely one of my WTF characters just because he really should not be as strong as he was.
13) Sting:
ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS GUY! But then when it rewind to his past and shown how he grew up and was I learned to respect this character. His little kitty partner is also so adorable.
14) Jiemma:
Even though he was a total jerk throughout the tournament ark he was still a pretty cool looking character. I just wish we would have seen more of him in action.
15) Kagura:
Powerful, intelligent, and almost beat Erza. This character was introduced very late but really made an awesome and powerful guild and is very formidable herself. Maybe formidable enough to beat Natsu and Gray in a 2v1 match!
16) Doranbolt:
A character who really was not all that strong but his morals and ranking in the government was pretty cool and interesting especially his powers. So he deserves to be in my top 25.
17) Jellal:
Evil to good to evil and then again to good! Most characters in any series that goes through that type of transformation is in my book a very interesting and well planned character. Though I like his counter part much more Jellal has my respect even because of the fact that he was able to make Erza fall in love with him!
18) Cobra:
This character was really awesome and even more awesome when he lost his sight. I loved his powers and for the fact that he was evil as well which being a poison type individual who is evil in anime usually match up.
19) Hades:
Powerful as heck and turned from pure good to pure evil and claimed he did so he could evolve magic which was such b.s. we all know he just wanted more power.
20) Azuma:
Was not only powerful but he had really interesting powers and just looked really awesome as an anime character. Definitely one of my favorites!
21) Zancrow:
He is in my top 25 just because of the way he died.
22) Grim Reaper:
Really weird transformation but I love wind powered characters and grim reaper in general is always really awesome.
23) Acnologia:
I hope to god it was actually a human before a dragon because it is super powerful now and I definitely want to hear the back story of the human.
24) Pantherlily:
I just love brute characters who are also swordsmen. Also this character is a cat which is also very interesting.
25) Mystogan:
Last on my list. I really loved his powers and the fact that he was royalty and also was able to take down so many dark guides like it was nothing while taking all of the signs of them. Wish he actually was powerful though instead of just the sleeping magic and genjutsu type of magic.

I would have to go for erza and mirajane, they are both fit and extremely powerful

I like Mystogan - sure, he doesn't have an honest-to-goodness magic ability, but his magic staves are great anyways. 

I also like Cobra, he really cool, and I always thought it cool to be able to know where your opponent will hit you next and such. Of course, the downside to super hearing is simply just how Natsu beat him in the first place.
