History
As a child Fyodor looked up to Laxus, Ivan and Makarov Dreyar and eventually joined Fairy Tail. He was raised by his grandmother who was an old friend of Makarov's. As a child he would often visit the Fairy Tail building to see what festivities were going on that day. He was often Mirajane's favorite kid to tease but Makarov would quickly shoo her away. He also enjoyed playing cards or other games with Cana and Levy. When his grandmother died Makarov took Fyodor in and raised him along side Laxus. When Ivan was excommunicated Fyodor joined Raven Tail thinking Laxus would eventually join. He quickly became a role model for a young Zenk Munel and Flare Corona,two little kids who had joined Raven Tail. When he heard of Tenroe Island's destruction he was stricken with greif and didn't smile at all for the next seven years which greatly worried his two friends. He managed to make a name for himself when he participated an the Grand Magic Games in X787-X790. He started to smile again when he heard the Tenroe bunch had returned which got him in trouble with Ivan. Despite being the strongest member in Raven Tail he refused to fight in The Grand Magic Games once hearing that Laxus would be participating. After Raven Tail's disqualification from the games he re-joined Fairy Tail along with Flare Corona and Zenk Munel.

Magic and Abilities

 * Genie Magic- Fyodor's primary magic is Genie Magic which he is very proficient in using. He can be very formidible with it and is able to fight on S-Class level if he choses to. He is said to be equal to Cobra, a powerful wizard in his own right. Being a member of Fairy Tail, who's specialty is property destruction, Fyodor's Genie Magic helps him live up to that title, him being a very destructive member. Zfy.jpg
 * Lightning Magic- Laxus has taught Fyodor a few lightning spells over the years. He is somewhat skilled with it but not nerely on the level Laxus is.
 * Raging Bolt- A large bolt of lightning will then descend upon the target.
 * Thunder Bullets- A barrage of small, yet destructive lightning orbs is fired towards his enemy at high speed.
 * Transformation Magic- Fyodor is very skilled in Transformation Magic which is the parent magic of Genie Magic.
 * Light Magic- He has learned many light spells while in Raven Tail.
 * Flashing Firefly- A small explosive orb of light is fired at the enemy. This is mainly used in close range as it is not very fast at getting to the target.
 * Solar Field- A spiraling wall of light surrounds the user. It absorbs all darkness and light based attacks and is capable of deflecting many other attacks.
 * Light Mirror- A light-based copy of an approaching attack is launched to intercept said attack. This is mainly used on weaker opponents as the copy is made to be more powerful than the original.
 * Expert Hand-To-Hand Specialist
 * Enhanced Reflexes

Personality
Fyodor is a generally kind person who's always smiling no matter what he might be doing, saying, or feeling, but during his early days in Raven Tail he was very violent compared to how he is now.He has strong beliefs about fighting refusing to fight Laxus in the Grand Magic Games, seeing it as just "a brother fighting a brother." He sees all the Fairy Tail members as his brothers and sisters. He looks up to Laxus as an older brother and to Makarov as a father. Many Fairy Tail members often challenge him to fights but Fyodor always declines. Despite his calm demeanor Fyodor also has quite a temper and when pushed to the limit can fight on S-Class level.

Laxus Dreyar
"The only person I've ever met who can stare death in the face and grin 'em down."- Laxus in reference to Fyodor's ever-present smile.

When Fyodor was a child he was brought up alongside Laxus, looking up to him as a brother. When Fyodor joined Raven Tail he'd hoped Laxus would follow him but when Laxus didn't he began questioning his decision. Raven's disqualification at the Grand Magic Games was finally enough for him to rejoin Fairy Tail. Once there again he tried to avoid Laxus until he was confronted by the latter who simply said "Welcome back." After this their relationship basically went back to how it had been. He sometimes ocompanies the Raijin Tribe on jobs and is once again Laxus' "little bro."

Flare Corona
When Fyodor joined Raven Flare was one of the first to welcome him. Since then they've become good friends and Flare seems to look up to him as an older brother. When Fyodor rejoined Fairy Tail he convinced Flare, one of the only good people in Raven Tail, to join as well. He supported her in trying to make friends with Lucy and tries to keep her in a positive mood. (Flare and Fyodor are not romantically involved.)

Zenk Munel
Zenk is commonly Fyodor's first choice for a job partner, even in their Raven days, showing a great amount of trust between the two. Zenk sees Fyodor as a friend and a rival and their friendly debates often turn into "friendly" brawls. Fyodor also hangs out with him most while not on jobs and is his training partner. Fyodor also tends to look down on Zenk as his lazy younger brother usually telling him to wake up when he's sleeping through something important.

 * "Why be in a guild that doesn't even have enough skill to win fair?" Fyodor about Raven Tail's disqualification.
