Phoenix Stinger is the first Guild Master and the creator of the Gryffinclaw guild. He is also an incredibly strong mage whose power is said to rival strong mages such as Sabertooth's Guild Master Jiemma and Makarov the Guild Master of Fairy Tail and one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Appearance
Phoenix is a short, eldery man. He has black eyes, but normally wears glasses wherever he goes. He has short black hair and



a black toothbrush style mustache. He also wears a native american style hat with red near the top half and yellow near the bottom.

As a child, Phoenix's appearance was a little different. His hair was a little longer and he was about the same size as he is now. He normally wore tank top shirts or went shirtless showing off his muscular upper body. He normally wore shorts and kung fu style shoes.

In his adulthood, Phoenix became more muscular and now normally goes shirtless with a simple strawhat either on his back or on his head. He normally wears black shorts and black boots. Phoenix also wears a unique necklace with a skeleton in the center of a circle.

Personality
Phoenix is a person who fights for whatever he believes in and doesn't care what anybody else thinks. He believes that friends are the only way to become stronger and believes that everyone deserves respect. Phoenix is a very kind, openminded person. He helps people in need, but will not hesitate if conflict is unavoidable. When Phoenix was younger, and was a member of Sabertooth, he was a strong rival of Jiemma, but always saw Jiemma as a conflicted person and tried to make him understand how important life itself really is. In this way Phoenix thinks that he has failed his friend and he carries a heavy burden because of it. Despite being a very kind person, Phoenix can become quite aggresive and deadly. When he changes in such a way, people say that its like standing face to face before a great Phoenix itself. Phoenix cares for his Guild's members and will destroy anyone who brings harm to them no matter what the cost. Because of Phoenix's strong morals, he is widely respected and feared.

History
When Phoenix was first born, his parents were amazed by his aura and decided to name him Phoenix. They named him that because despite the aura being strong, it was also gentle and soothing. At the age of 20, Phoenix ventured Fiore and sought more training. When he entered the mountainous region, he found an elaborate building, the Guild Sabertooth. Phoenix joined and in a few years became one of the strongest mages. Around this time, Phoenix met Jiemma and their intense rivalry began. They first battled when Phoenix was 28 years old. The battle was incredibly destructive causing mountains to shake and the skies to boil. Jiemma was barely winning the match untill Phoenix unleashed his newly perfected Gravity Magic. Jiemma was enraged by his lose and left for 2 years in order to train in the mountains. With Jiemma gone, Phoenix was soon to be the next in line for the Guild Master position. Phoenix knew that one day it would be either him or Jiemma who would be Guild Master, but Phoenix didn't understand why he wasn't overjoyed to be so close to being a Guild Master. Soon he realized that this was not his destiny and told all the members that he could not except the position this was a major shock, but they all excepted it. In the year X739, Phoenix Stinger left Sabertooth in search of his destiny.

Phoenix's journey soon led him to Magnolia Town and the Fairy Tail Guild. When he entered Magnolia, he wished to meet the new Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar.
