Gray Fullbuster

Gray Fullbuster (グレイ・フルバスター, Gurei Furubasutā) is one of the main male protagonists of Fairy Tail. He is an ice wizard who is fierce rivals with Natsu because of their opposing personalities and magical elements. Orphaned at a young age by the demon known as "Deliora", Gray is tutored by Ur to use Ice-Make, which instantly produces ice in the form of any weapon or object he imagines; during his training to withstand cold temperatures, he also gains the habit of subconsciously stripping his clothes, something that Mashima based on a personal habit of his own. He joins Fairy Tail after Ur sacrifices herself to save his life when he recklessly attempts to kill Deliora.

Later in the series, Gray inherits Ice Demon Slayer Magic from his reanimated father, Silver Fullbuster, becoming a demon slayer to carry out Silver's will to destroy E.N.D. Unfortunately, its corruptive influence of his demonic powers compels Gray to irrationally fight Natsu upon discovering his identity as E.N.D., but he ultimately uses his powers to help strip Natsu of his identity as an Etherious so he may live normally as a human.
