NATSU DRAGNeeL
NATSU DRAGNEEL:
A wizard known as a Fire Dragon Slayer who is searching for his adoptive dragon father Igneel. Natsu can perform an ancient form of magic, or "Lost Magic", that grants him the physical properties of a dragon. The Fire Dragon Slayer magic (火の滅竜魔法 Ka no Metsuryū mahō?) allows him to breathe fire, emit flames from any part of his body to attack, become physically immune to fire, and ingest any flame for nourishment.[ch. 1,5] When he consumes magical substances that contain a large amount of magical energy, Natsu is able to achieve a more powerful form of Dragon Slayer magic called Dragon Force (ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu?), which turns his skin around his eyes and on his forearms scaly, and increases both his physical and magical power.[ch. 97-98,160] With Dragon Force, Natsu can temporarily eat other forms of magic and combine that with his own; however, Natsu becomes sick for several days after his transformation wears off.[ch. 106,245] When Igneel dies during his battle with Acnologia, Natsu decides to train himself and Happy in one year's time to defeat Acnologia.[ch. 416]In the latest chapter, Zeref had revealed Natsu's complete name, Etherious Natsu Dragneel, who's abbreviation is the same name as the leader of Tartarus .
Natsu has a rivalry with Gray Fullbuster due to their conflicting natures and elements. Natsu is generally carefree and reckless in nature, and causes most of the collateral damage Fairy Tail is blamed for.[ch. 2] However, he is extremely loyal to his guildmates and attacks anyone who tries to harm or insult them. Although he comes across as thick-headed to several other characters, he is a perceptive tactician in battle and can quickly deduce his opponents' strengths and weaknesses.[ch. 41] He suffers from motion sickness when riding on vehicles of any sort, as well as when carried by others such as Lucy. The exception to this rule is Happy, who Natsu considers as his friend.[ch. 4]. He is prone to challenging his guild's S-Class wizards to petty fights to test his strength, in which he is often defeated with little effort from his opponents.[ch. 24] When properly motivated to fight however, he is recognized as one of the most powerful wizards in the guild.[ch. 64].
