Gajeel Redfox

Gajeel Redfox, also known as Iron Dragon, Metal Dragon Slayer, Black Steel and Gazille, is a character from the Fairy Tail series.
== Charactah Account ==
Gajeel is an Iron Dragon Slayer who is capable of transforming any part of his body into a metal weapon. Frustrated after the disappearance of his dragon, Metalicana, Gajeel starts out as one of Fairy Tail's most merciless and hated rivals from the Phantom Lord guild. However, as fate would have it, he ends up joining Fairy Tail after his old guild dissolves following their guild war. Against all odds, he works past his former adversaries' resentment and suspicion, eventually proving himself a trusted ally and valued friend.
Gajeel was taught how to use Iron Dragon Slayer Magic by Metalicana, The Iron Dragon. As its name implies, Gajeel's particular Dragon Slayer Magic deals with the manipulation of iron. Gajeel eats iron to regain his own strength, and his teeth and jaw muscles are powerful enough to gnaw through solid metal with ease, even allowing him to eat the Magic-canceling metal of the Dorma Anim. Gajeel's Magic deals with producing multi-sized iron rods, as well as changing parts of his body into steel. Most of his attacks involve transforming his arms into blunt, metallic weapons, which he can do at will. Additionally, Gajeel may turn his iron into steel if he somehow becomes able to absorb trace amounts of carbon; said process is still toxic and harmful to his body as it would be to others, but the addition of the natural element changes the composition of his spells, allowing him to deal enhanced damage and/or break through defenses that his iron could not.

== Trivia ==
* Gajeel's eye color was initially green, but was later changed to red.
* When Gajeel first appeared as a member of Fairy Tail, his guild mark wasn't on his left arm, but it appeared later on.
* According to Gray, Gajeel is a very good song writer, however, his singing skills and ability to play musical instruments are poor.
* Gajeel's Iron Dragon's Roar, at first, appeared vastly different in the anime. In the manga, it is a whirlwind laced with shards of metal. In the anime, Gajeel's Iron Dragon's Roar appeared much like Natsu's, only with a grayish hue. Later on, in the anime, Gajeel's Roar is designed exactly like the manga's, with the whirlwind being the same gray-blue color as before.
* From the Volume 16 Limited Edition: Sorcerer Interview, Fairy Tail has no good qualities according to Gajeel. He has no dreams for the future. He doesn't have a good relationship with anyone in the guild. The most difficult job he ever took was a personal request by Makarov.
* Gajeel's name is derived from the Japanese word Kajiru, which means to bite, to gnaw, or to nibble. The "Ka" sound is changed to "Ga" sound because Gaji Gaji sounds like a person eating in Japanese standard.
* In Volume 32's extra content, Mashima provided the battle statistics for 31 of the 40 contestants in the X791 Grand Magic Games. The stats, however, were provided not from Mashima's point-of-view, but from the viewpoint of Sorcerer Magazine reporter Jason, which explains why some stats are missing, or why others may be inaccurate.
* According to Belno, Gajeel resembles greatly her deceased son.
