abstract
| - The main group of protagonists in the series. The team initially consists of Natsu, Happy and Lucy, but Gray and Erza join the team after tagging along a number of times. The team has no official name, so Team Natsu is what the American fanbase has decided to call them.
* Aerith and Bob: Lucy, Gray, Wendy and Carla are all fairly common names in real life. Erza, Natsu and Happy on the other hand...
* Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Natsu/Erza as the boke with Gray/Lucy as tsukkomi. Happy tends to zig-zag with the trope.
* Cast Calculus: Typically, another major Fairy Tail member will temporarily join the team for the duration of a story arc as the ensemble's Sixth Ranger. So far, these members have been Juvia, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Elfman, Mirajane, and, lately, Laxus. For more information, refer to their own entries in the other tabs.
* Childhood Friends: Natsu, Gray and Erza. Lucy questions the nature of their friendship when Erza asks Natsu and Gray if they want to take a bath together like when they were kids.
* Covert Perverts
* Dark and Troubled Past: Although the severity of each varies compared to each other. Erza's is probably the worst.
* Destructive Saviors: Most of their missions' pay goes to the repairs of the place that they destroyed, much to Lucy's ire.
* Determinator: No matter what, they never give up, and if they can help it they won't lose to the same enemy twice.
* Disney Death/Put on a Bus: After Acnologia blasts Tenrou Island they, along with those who participated in the S-Class exam and Laxus, go missing for seven years.
* The Bus Came Back
* Five-Man Band
* The Hero: Natsu
* The Lancer: Gray
* The Big Girl and The Leader: Erza
* The Smart Guy: Happy, later Lucy
* The Chick: Lucy, later Wendy
* Team Pet: Happy, Plue and Carla
* Four-Temperament Ensemble Natsu and Happy are Sanguine, Gray is Phlegmatic, Erza is Choleric and Lucy is Supine.
* Heroic BSOD: Along with Levy, Juvia and Wendy after it's revealed that one day in the Celestial Spirit World is equal to three months in Earthland, which they should have spent training for the Great Magic Games.
* Honor Before Reason: A lot of the times they don't end up having to pay a huge repair bill, Natsu or Erza are usually refusing a payment for one reason or another.
* Like Brother and Sister: Erza, Natsu and Gray grew up together
* Parental Abandonment: Both Natsu and Wendy were abandoned by their dragon parents.
* Older Than They Look: Courtesy of the Tenrou Island incided coupled with the Time-Skip, they are all 7 years younger than they're supposed to be and look.
* Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Even in the arcs where the whole guild is involved, these guys get a disproportionately large amount of the action.
* Justified, in this case. They ARE the main protagonists.
* Three Plus Two: As mentioned above; Natsu, Happy & Lucy are the three, Gray & Erza are the two.
* Cast Calculus: Typically, another major Fairy Tail member will temporarily join the team for the duration of a story arc as the ensemble's Sixth Ranger. So far, these members have been Gajeel, Juvia, Wendy and Carla. For more information, refer to their own entries in the other tabs.
* Vitriolic Best Buds: Natsu and Gray. Occasionally Natsu and Erza. Happy and Lucy have shades of it as well.
