Elfman Strauss

Elfman Strauss, also known as Beast Arm Elfman, is a character from the Fairy Tail series.
== Charactah Account ==
Elfman is Lisanna and Mirajane's middle brother who strongly believes in pride through physical strength and manliness. His form of Takeover, Beast Soul, transforms him into a variety of ferocious beasts and monsters. His magic went awry during a mission with Lisanna and Mirajane; following Lisanna's disappearance, he can only transform his right arm. Two years later, he regains his Full-Body Takeover abilities during the battle with Phantom Lord.
Elfman considers himself the strong-willed and proud powerhouse of Fairy Tail. He is very self-conscious about his manliness and always uses the word "man" as a self-proclaimed image of himself and as a guide for others to follow. He also scowled at Jet and Droy of Team Shadow Gear for putting Levy in danger during their mission and also -on their part- failing to show pride as men.
Despite his huge ego, he is always very kind, loving and protective of his sisters Mirajane and Lisanna, going to great lengths to protect them from any sort of danger, even threatening S-Class Mages or people who may even be stronger than himself, such as Bacchus. As a child, when he lost his parakeet he searched for it for a whole week, but found a different one.

== Trivia ==
* Elfman didn't have his scar when he took on the S-Rank mission with his sisters. However, after the job was finished, he had a bandage over his eye. His Full-Body Beast Soul Take-Over also shows the beast having a scar in the same place.
* In Elfman's Sorcerer Interview, the best quality of Fairy Tail, according to Elfman, is that there are a lot of strong men in the guild. He wishes to become a man among men in the future. He has a good relationship with his older sister, Mirajane. Elfman, like his older sister, did not wish to comment on the most difficult job he had ever taken.
* In Volume 32's extra content, Mashima provided the battle statistics for 31 of the 40 X791 contestants in the Grand Magic Games. The stats, however, were provided not from Mashima's point-of-view as the author but from the view point of Sorcerer Magazine reporter Jason. Which explains why some stats are missing and why others may be inaccurate. According to Jason from the Sorcerer Magazine, during his participation in the Grand Magic Games of X791, Elfman's stats are:
* Mashima said he named Elfman wanting his name to "sound cute", a contrast to his manly personality.
