There are so many characters in Fairytail that it would take a long time to talk about all of them,
so I am only going to talk about the five most relevant Fairytail characters.

Other great characters include Cana Alberona, Levi Mcgarden, Gajeel Redfox, Laxus Dreyar, Mirajane Strauss, Elfman Strauss, and Gildarts
