Spy

Spies are individuals who are skilled at secretly obtaining information.
==Overview==
Similar to Ninjas, Spies are also professionals in espionage and covert missions, where they infiltrate into enemy groups to obtain the target of their objectives. Their purpose lies more so in gathering information from an enemy that may be advantageous, report the stolen information to their benefactor and to be used against them.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 128, Pages 32-33 Some of the information obtained is so sensitive that only a select few are permitted to learn of it.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 444, Pages 10-11
Spies will even pose as a someone in league with the enemy group for the time being after gaining their trust, pretending to be their ally as a facade until their mission ends. The use of code names and/or aliases may also be necessary when contacting their real ally.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 429, Pages 15-19 Some are so fully committed to mission that they’ll even alter their own memories to make their facade even more convincing, this would need to be undone by the one they reported to.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 439, Pages 8-14 Other times, the spy will just hide among the crowd should the enemies have a large organization.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 428, Pages 18-20
==Abilities==
Naturally, a prominent skill for spies to have is being capable of infiltrating an enemy’s territory or group and avoiding being discovered. Some spies will also need to possess enough skill in acting and manipulating others in order to lie and seem as an ally to an enemy while being covert about their true intentions to steal information without drawing any unnecessary attention to themselves, playing the role of a double agent. Some will even pretend to be double agents for the enemy group, thus giving them false information instead.
Magic such as Memory Control can help spies play the role more convincingly by altering a target’s memories and gaining their trust easier, this can even be used on themselves to play a more convincing role.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 416, Pages 22-25Some wizards even use drones to spy on others from afar, be it with a Surveillance LacrimaFairy Tail Manga: Chapter 6, Page 19Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 140 or use magic manifest something to spy for them.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 179
