Gajeel Redfox

Gajeel Redfox (ガジル・レッドフォックス, Gajiru Reddofokkusu), is one of the antagonist-turned-ally characters of Fairy Tail. He is a dragon slayer whose Iron Dragon Slayer Magic allows him to transform his limbs into iron weapons, cover his skin with impenetrable iron scales, breathe gusts of wind containing metal shrapnel, and consume iron objects for nourishment. Transported 400 years from the past through Eclipse as a child in the surviving dragons' plan to kill Acnologia, Gajeel is separated from his fellow dragon slayers and forgets his childhood besides being raised by the dragon Metalicana. He resents Metalicana for his disappearance, becoming a delinquent member of Phantom Lord nicknamed "Kurogane" (くろがね; lit. "Black Steel", written as "Iron Dragon"), whose act of defacing Fairy Tail's guildhall and assaulting Levy's team instigates a war between the two guilds. After Phantom Lord's dissolution, Gajeel reluctantly accepts Makarov Dreyar's offer of membership into Fairy Tail to atone for his actions, gaining the guild's trust and acceptance after helping Natsu Dragneel defeat Laxus Dreyar in the Battle of Fairy Tail. He subsequently develops protective feelings for Levy, eventually confessing his love for her while being nearly killed during the war with the Alvarez Empire. In the series epilogue, Gajeel has an implied conversation with Levy about a baby.
