A mage from the Fairy Tail Guild who wields fire dragon slayer magic.
Natsu has a carefree and reckless nature and, despite his constant brawls with the other members of the guild, is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He has a particularly close and competitive relationship with [Gray Fullbuster](https://anilist.co/character/4839/Fullbuster-Gray) and [Erza Scarlet](https://anilist.co/character/5189/Scarlet-Erza). With the former, he has had a constant rivalry from a young age and although they often denounce each other as not being friends, they regularly watch each others' back even when they are enraged with one another. He has had the same sort of relationship with Erza - the two both being scared of her since a young age - and they seemed to have a fairly good relationship in the past as, according to Erza, they used to shower together. He befriends people rather quickly too, considering [Lucy](https://anilist.co/character/5186/Heartfilia-Lucy) a friend and willing to team up with her only after a few days of knowing her.
[Igneel](https://anilist.co/character/40157/Igneel), a dragon, found him in the forest and ended up taking care of him. He taught Natsu how to speak, read, and use magic. But one day Igneel disappeared without a trace. Because of this, Natsu's goal in life is to find him.
