Black Notebook

The Black Notebook is a notebook that Elise Fibel and Ares share, where they each keep information on multiple things (people, events, etc.).

Fairy Tail
Formed by Mavis Vermillion, Yuri Dreyar, Precht Gaebolg (who would later become known as Hades) and Warrod Sequen, Fairy Tail is the most famous wizards' guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, most widely known for producing some of the most powerful wizards in the history of magic—so powerful, in fact, they cause unintended destruction no matter what they do. Founded over one hundred years ago by Mavis Vermillion, the guild was named in honor of the age old question, "Do fairies have tails? Do they even exist?", which represents an mystery, and thus an eternal adventure.
 * All There in the Manual: Most information on the characters' personalities and interests—particularly the minor members—are detailed in profiles on certain chapter covers, some of which makes its way into the anime.
 * Badass Crew: Fairy Tail easily outnumbers the other guilds in terms of badass members by a dozenfold. They're also a colorful, tightly knit bunch of goofballs who consider each other closer than any family.
 * Beware the Silly Ones: They baffle all ordinary folks (and sometimes each other) with their eccentricities, but they all have one thing in common: mess with their guild, and they will  end  you.
 * Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Don't let their assortment of personality quirks fool you; a good number of their deadliest opponents have acknowledged them as cunning warriors. It's quite telling that their founder was a genius military strategist with the appearance and behavior of a 13-year-old girl.
 * Dark Secret: Lumen Histoire, the guild's biggest secret sealed away deep beneath the guildhall, is so low-profile that only the guild's masters are permitted awareness of its existence. Wide knowledge of it is said to potentially upend the laws of magic as the world knows it, and word of it leaking out is enough for a neighboring continent to launch a full-scale invasion in order to claim it. It is a wellspring of perpetual magic power known as Fairy Heart, akin to a stream of Etherion that can never be stopped once it is unleashed. At the core of this power is the body of Mavis Vermillion herself, held in stasis within a lacrima crystal in a state between life and death that was brought about when she was afflicted and "killed" by the Curse of Ankhselam, the same life-stealing curse that Zeref suffers from.
 * Destructive Savior: They're notorious in Fiore for causing more collateral damage than any of the monsters or villains they face. As such, they're not particularly well liked by the Magic Council, and the reward money they receive is usually reduced to pay for repairs.
 * Determinator: No matter what, they never give up, and if they can help it, they never let themselves lose to the same opponent twice

Strongest Team
The Main Characters in the series, considered to be the strongest team in the entire Fairy Tail guild. This team initially consists solely of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, and Happy at the suggestion of the Celestial Spirit Plue, with Aries, Elise Fibel, Virion, Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet joining the team shortly after tagging along with them a number of times. Wendy Marvell and Carla also become unofficial additions to the team later on.

In General

 * Almighty Janitor: In a sense, despite Mirajane coining the term calling them the "Strongest Team," they are not  literally  comprised of the individual strongest members of Fairy Tail.
 * Badass Crew: They're recognized up as Fairy Tail's strongest team.
 * Childhood Friends: Natsu, Gray, Aries, Elise and Erza. Lucy questions the nature of their friendship when Erza asks Natsu, Aries, Elise and Gray if they want to take a bath together like when they were kids.
 * Combination Attack: Despite not actually fighting a single enemy together very often, during their battle with Hades, they displayed this in the form of launching Natsu at the enemy at high speeds. Twice.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: All of their backstories are quite tragic and sad. To elaborate:
 * Natsu  died  along with his mother and father several hundred years ago by a dragon attack before his older brother Zeref sacrificed just about everything to bring him back as a demon. Then, he was left by Igneel and the person he made a Childhood Marriage Promise dies (not really).
 * Gray lost his birth parents at Deliora's hands and then lost his new Parental Substitute because of his actions, as well as causing his technical brother to hate him.
 * Aries never really had any parents to begin with, and she lost her technical sister (who she later found out wasn't really dead) and her Parental Substitute (possibly real parent) due to Gray's actions, but she still doesn't blame him. She has also never met her father or knows if she even has one.
 * Erza was abandoned by her own mother after she attempted and failed, in the midst of her Face–Heel Turn, to steal her body for herself, and that was after spending 400 years in her womb being protected by her and nearly being killed by her father. She was later enslaved by Zeref cultists, until she led a revolt that cost her not only an eye, but her friends' loyalty. Also, she lost her grandmother figure in a carriage accident. She only had Elise after all of that.
 * Elise, much like Erza, was abandoned by her mother out of guilt for her actions and life since her mother was never human to begin with. She was later enslaved by Zeref cultists, until she led a revolt that cost her not only an eye, but her friends' loyalty. Also, she lost her grandmother figure in a carriage accident. She only had Erza after all of the trauma.
 * Lucy's mother committed a Heroic Sacrifice when she was young, and her father spent his time maintaining his business with his company. Eventually, Lucy is forced to leave her family life behind and join Fairy Tail.
 * Virion never had a good relationship with his parents, particularly his father. He was eventually adopted by a dragon, who left him when he was only about 5 years old. Unlike Natsu, he actually remembers his parents but refuses to know anymore since he believes that his father corrupted the beautiful and gentle soul of his mother.
 * Wendy, like Natsu and Virion, was left by her dragon when she was only about 5 years old and then left to wander the world with Mystogan until he left her.
 * Destructive Saviors: Most of their missions' pay goes to the repairs of the place that they destroyed, much to Lucy's ire.
 * Determinator: No matter what, they  never  give up, and if they can help it, they  never  let themselves lose to the same opponent twice.

Natsu Dragneel
Natsu is a famous Fairy Tail wizard known as "Salamander". He is generally regarded as the guild's problem child who breaks more property than the master can handle, but no one is more loyal to his friends than he is. He was raised from a young age by the dragon Igneel, who mysteriously disappeared seven years ago on July 7, X777. Ever since then, Natsu has been on a personal journey to find the dragon and learn what happened.
 * Adaptation Dye-Job: His hair is reddish in the manga, but more pink in the anime
 * Adult Fear: When Happy is captured by Minerva, who threatens to kill him if Natsu doesn't obey her demands, he does so without any second thoughts.

Elise Fibel
A mysterious, quiet, no-nonsense young woman who doesn't easily open up to others and is fond of reading, Elise is one of Fairy Tail's most powerful female wizard, renowned throughout the kingdom as "Princess". Using her magic, The Ruler, she is able to "requip"—instantaneously exchange and equip—hundreds of different weapons and dresses, the latter of which are extremely durable. She's also the daughter of Ermiana El Kel Alzano.
 * Anti-Hero: Elise is aloof, antisocial, and can be callous about the feelings of those around her; all the same, she clearly cares deeply about helping people and protecting those she loves. She has severe self-doubt over her tendency to abandon people and her fear of getting emotionally close to anyone.
 * Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Gender-inverted with her and Virion. She is a moody, melancholy loner with a very Dark and Troubled Past. In an attempt to overcome her self-perceived cowardice, she tries to deal with problems herself (and hurts herself in the process) or avoids them altogether, and later insists that it's best if nobody were attached to her. Whenever Virion sees Elise in distress, he often tries to cheer her up or offer her comfort and companionship, usually to be ignored or coldly dismissed. He refuses to give up on being her companion and being there for her during her darkest moment, despite the fact that all he usually accomplishes is pissing her off even further. Elise questions whether Virion understands what she's been through, and feels like she must keep everybody at a distance so that they don't have to suffer alongside her. Meanwhile, Virion tries to convince Elise to let go of her past and forgive herself for her mistakes.
 * Cowardly Lion: She believes that her biggest flaw is that she runs away from her problems. She is convinced her entire make-up is designed around this flaw because her strange power leaves clones behind whenever she dodges or flees, which take the hits that are meant for her.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Has a tendency to calmly and bluntly put down others.
 * Fatal Flaw: The majority of Elise's problems stem from a deep self-loathing. She generally focuses on what she thinks are her own failings, such as perceived cowardice and guilt over things she has no control of, which often drives her to run away from others when they try to help her. Elise admits to her father that she doesn't understand how anyone could care about her or forgive her for what she's said and done, and tells Virion that she wants to do things on her own because that way she's the only one who has to suffer the consequences.
 * Lady of War: She relies more on acrobatics, speed and stealth than brute strength or large weapons when she fights. Normally very composed, she becomes deadly and focused when emotionally-charged in battle.
 * Leave Me Alone!: This is her mindset in a nutshell.
 * Secretly Wealthy: When Elise shows Virion where her family home is, Virion is shocked to see it's the largest residential building in the area. It's a huge, sprawling mansion with steps leading up to a giant front door with an enormous, intimidating knocker. There are multiple, good-sized rooms inside and Elise's family mansion uses rich, warming wood effects.
 * Ship Tease: Virion is introduced winking flirtatiously at her, and he's frequently shown trying to charm her in his own dorky way. She fluctuates between being flattered and annoyed at his advances (he was her most frequent target of a Death Glare) at first, but she's warmed up to him, culminating in her dancing with him and blushing at his flirting.
 * Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: In contrast with Aries' mentality, she has a very different view of the world.
 * Elise: Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale.
