Gale Redfox

**Gale Redfox** (ゲイル・レッドフォックス *Geiru* *Reddofokkusu)* is the only son of Gajeel Redfox and Levy McGarden. He is a Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild wherein he is the partner of Luna Dragneel.

## Appearance

Gale is a tall and muscular young man with spiky black hair that is usually slicked back and a few locks falling in his face. He has red eyes, his most prominent feature, as well as two piercings in each ear with a new piercing from Sea King Shenlong. He dons studded black gloves with the tips cut off and studded black boots. His outfit, however, changes daily, though he is normally dressed in dark clothing. His black Fairy Tail mark is found over his heart. He inherited his father’s distinctive canine teeth and tan skin as well.

## Personality

Gale is a relatively gruff and cruelly honest person with a lot of sarcasm. He is infamous for his aggression and anger issues. He is insecure about his own Magic as he aspired to be a great Iron Mage to make his father proud, though became an Earth Mage instead. He often picks fights and can get quite vulgar and violent. He has little like for children or animals who often don’t like him back. Still, he is a loyal member to Fairy Tail and willingly puts his life on the line in the names of his comrades.

Gale is highly intelligent, though he tries not to show it, not wanting his reputation to be shot to being a “dork”. He is fluent in many languages (courtesy of Levy), but he speaks Stellian the most due to his work at **Uncle Ben’s Pizzeria**. Like Gajeel, he gifts nicknames to his comrades to show he cares in his own way. And, like Gajeel, Gale is an excellent cook and plays guitar, though he has an excellent voice.

Out of all the guild, Gale is closest emotionally to Julia Fullbuster whom he confides in when it comes to Luna, personality-wise to Mary Jane Dreyarwho watches out for him and gives him unsolicited advice, and his crush Luna who he pines after. Gale shows jealous tendencies and can get annoyed with Luna, but he ultimately wants what is best for her, even if she hates him for his actions. He is a hypocrite as he grows frustrated over other’s romantic problems, yet does not do anything in terms of his own. Still, he is soft when it comes to Luna and his nightmares often involve him failing her and letting her get hurt or be killed. Gale grew addicting to cuddling with Luna and enjoys teasing her. As of recent, Gale has grown exceptionally jealous of Luna and Bleu's relationship.

While Gale’s relationship to his mother is close and he has a fearful, yet caring relationship towards his siblings, it is his father who he has a conflicted relationship with. He idolizes Gajeel and finds himself a disappointment of a son as he cannot become the Iron Mage he thought he was born to be, even though he is aware of Gajeel’s proudness his son earned the title of “Earth Dragon of Fairy Tail”. He and Gajeel often clash due to their hot tempers and aggression, though Gale eventually bows to Gajeel, even if reluctant. He has a mother-son dynamic with Sycaña, the Earth Dragon who resides in his amulet (Dragon Lacrima).

## History

Gale was known to be bad-tempered and a bully during his childhood, though he could also not be away from Luna for very long. It is unsaid as to how the two separated. As a young child, Gale found himself constantly trying to be like his father and mimic his Iron Dragon Slayer Magic, only to be disappointed he could only manipulate earth and conjure gemstones.

## Magic and Abilities

**Earth-Make** (魔法地球のモデル化、地球メイク *Mahō chikyū no moderu-ka, chikyū meiku*): A form of Molding Magic that allows the user to create and shape earth (and metal for advanced users) into objects at will. In Gale's case, he performs in Static Earth-Make, allowing him to create inanimate objects and shape weapons with his earth. Earth-Make is known as an extremely versatile form of Magic, coming in useful both in battle, for offensive and defensive purposes, and outside of it. According to Gray, Molding Magic allows the user to produce virtually anything, granting the user an unmatched creation capability. Because Gale is the only one in Fairy Tail to have discovered Earth-Make, he relies on Gray Fullbuster to show him examples of weapons and creations.

* **Earth Tolerance**: Earth-Make Magic's most basic defense, as an Earth-Make user, Gale is an individual resistant to any type of earth and as such is able to take damage from earth and gem-based attacks without sustaining major injury and is either completely immune to gem-based attacks.
* **Earth-Make: Lance** (ランス *Ransu*): Gale extends his arms forward, creating long, curved earthy lances that he shoots toward his enemy, impaling them. This makes for a powerful ranged attack.

* **Earth-Make: Hammer** (ハンマー *Hanmā*): Gale creates a large hammer that floats above his opponent before dropping on them with great force.

* **Earth-Make: Slide**: Gale makes a slide out of smooth rocks, so that he can get to previously unreachable places.

* **Earth-Make: Rampart** (ランパード *Ranpādo*): Gale creates an extremely massive and high wall out of earth, which can stop his opponents in their tracks, but uses up a lot of Magic.

* **Earth-Make: Grappling Hook** (飛爪 *Hisō*): Gale creates two four-pointed grappling hooks with chains connected with the Earth-Make auras around his hands, which can be used to hold/grasp of higher surfaces or objects, allowing him to lift himself.

* **Earth-Make: Death Scythe** (デスサイズ *Desu Saizu*): Gale first creates a large scythe made out of earth, and then jumps into the air. When he's high enough, he swings the scythe at his opponent.

**Earth-Make Secret Art: Gem-Make**: Gem Magic is a secret art of Earth Magic that has not been seen in ages. Gale is the youngest Mage to discover it and to use it properly. Before he could only conjure a few gemstones at a time and their powers, but now, he is able to use more.

* **Diamond Storm**: Gale jumps in the air with his arms crossed. He flings his arms to his sides and bright crystals appear in front of him. On his command, the crystals pelt the opponent.
* **Crystal Lance**: Gale creates a long and oversized lance made from solid crystal.
* **Sardonyx Hammer:** Gale materializes a large hammer. The handle is a slim black, but the hammer is oversized and made purely of sardonyx.
* **Sugilite Fist**: Gale creates a black handle in his hands with a long black whip attached to it. Attached to the whip at the end is a large ball with spikes made entirely of Sugilite gemstone.
* **Quartz: Rose Shield:** Gale creates a spiraled pink shield with a rose quartz gemstone in the center of it.
* **Quartz: Rose Sword**: Gale can summon a sword of rose quartz with a dark pink help encrusted in rose quartz gemstones.
* **Pearly Spear**: Gale can summon a spear. The blade is elongated pear. The grip is white. Gale can make multiple summons of these spears.
* **Onyx Scythe**: Gale can summon a scythe. He raises a hand to call to it. The staff appears with the blade covered in Magic and Gale spins it around himself. He slams the staff on the ground and the Magic breaks off. The staff is a thin black color while the blade is large and curved. There is a thin strip of red onyx on the bottom of the blade, but the rest is made of onyx.
	+ **Onyx Death Scythe:**This is another version of his Onyx Scythe that has a blade three times its size with slicked-back spikes. It does not look solid and is made of glowing black with a larger curve and has a giant red skull on the staff with a glaring red eye and no lower jaw.
* **Ruby Tri-beam**: Gale puts his hands in a triangle with his thumbs touching and his pointer and middle fingers touching. He creates three rubies that correspond with the points of the triangle and he releases a devastating beam of red.
* **Diamond Shield**: Gale can create a massive shield made purely of diamond and can shatter it at his free will.
* **Diamond Lance** (フリーズランサー *Furīzu Ransā*): Gale creates larger diamond lances that he attacks his enemy with.
* **Diamond Shield** (ダイヤモンドシールド *Daiyamondo Shīrudo*): Gale creates a large shield made of diamond, which shields everything behind it.
* **Gemstone Hurricane:** Gale creates a hurricane of different types of gemstones, each explosive when coming into contact with a target.

**Earth Magic** (土系各種魔法 *Tsuchi Kei Kakushu Mahō*): is a Caster Magic which utilizes the element of earth. Gale possesses extremely powerful **Earth Magic** as he is able to produce gemstones and bend them to his own will. It was predicted if he and Jura Neekis were to be in a battle, Jura would win, but Gale would actually make Jura fight rather than take the fight easy. Gale is able to create metals as well, such as iron, as well a gemstones. Because of his signature magic being earth and he is fierce, he is called the "Earth Dragon", regardless that he is not a dragon nor a Dragon Slayer.

* **Rock Avalanche**: While standing near to a rocky surface, Gale rapidly extends one hand towards the target, his fingers placed in his most recurring hand gesture. This prompts the nearby surface to be split into boulders of various size, which are lifted in the air and sent flying at the target with great force and speed, striking them and then falling to the ground which creates a huge terrestrial blast.

* **Mud Slide**: Gale is able to create a slide of mud either through magic or touching a rocky surface.
* **Heal**: Gale uses the ground's minerals to heal himself.
* **Diver**: A spell in which the user digs holes and tunnels underground to navigate beneath the surface. This spell also allows its user to easily move through solid ground in a much easier manner.
* **Earthquake**: This spell allows the user to create Earthquakes with their mind.

* **Armor**: This spell is Caster Magic that can only be used with Elemental Magic. Gale uses this spell to form armor around himself.
	+ **Armor of Earth**: Gale creates armor for himself made out of stones.
	+ **Armor of Cassiterite**: Gale creates armor for himself made out of cassiterite.

**Terrain Effect Magic:** A form of Magic which allows Gale to manipulate a certain area suited to his needs. Unlike Uosuke, a skilled Mage in this art, Gale can only manipulate a small area at a time.

* **Terrain Effect:** **Quicksand Zone**: If Gale is touching a ground with some sort of earth in it, he can turn the ground into quicksand. The opponents will sink to their death, but he is afloat.
* **Terrain Effect: Lava Zone**: This is a dangerous offensive technique that Gale can only make happen in a small area and limited to one target. Like Uosuke, Gale places slightly-bent arms one above the other, palms pointing sideways, before him, in correspondence to the elbows. The targeted area then starts rumbling, trembling and heating until it is ultimately reduced to large collapsing pieces, revealing a pool of boiling lava underneath, and sending his target flying inside it.

**Earth Dragon Slayer Magic**: Gale is in the process of learning this Magic from Earth Dragon Sycaña whom he met during his time travel to the past. Without his knowledge, she gifted him her Dragon Lacrima also called a Dragon's Heart of Hearts to permit him to use her as a vessel to use into his latent Dragon Slayer powers. Slowly, Sycaña fed him her power, but during his battle with Igneel, Sycaña surged him with power. As such, Gale has grown in size, stature, strength, and speed. While other Dragons are more specific in their element, because Sycaña came from the Dragons of old, it allowed Gale to have a broad range with his Magic and to essentially bend nature to his will. As we have yet to see the changes, it is unknown if Gale can consume earthly materials such as grass or gemstones to replenish energy.

* **Earth Dragon's Roar**: Gale's exclusive, earth-based *Dragon's Roar*. After gathering Magic Power in his mouth, Gale shapes it into a powerful tornado which he subsequently emits and sends towards his foes. Such tornado possesses immense force, being capable of generating powerful explosions and inflicting heavy blunt damage, but also releases sharp shards of earth in the process, shredding the opponents' body.
* **Earth Dragon's Gaia Fissure**: By forcing his hands apart, Gale can create a fissure into at least four layers or earth.
* **Earth Dragon's Sink Hole**: Gale puts his hands into fists and creates deep sinkholes.
* **Earth Dragon's Scales**: Gale can conjure black scales. These scales are made from a highly resilient material with fire as its only weakness.
* **Vines** (Unnamed Move): Gale can summon vines to do his bidding.

**Time Magic**: The residual Time Magic from his time adventures in the Festival of Gratitude arc integrated with his main being. He receives concrete visions of the past by touching a person with his hands directly onto their skin. He can feel what the other person feels and see from their point of view. He has a conscious mind during this and can comment on what he sees. When he and Luna touch, together they can see the past and future.

**Seismic Sensor**: Gale is able to feel the vibrations of the earth and get a mental image of his surroundings.

**Enhanced Agility:** Gale has shown to be very agile in battle as well as on the dance floor.

**Enhanced Hearing:** Like his siblings and father, he has enhanced hearing that has a long range and short range capabilities.

**Enhanced Intelligence:** Gale is of keen intellect as he learns multiple languages, cultures, and talents. He picked up the skill from Levy and he tries to keep it away from his friends he will be graduating with his bachelor's degree at 17 rather than the traditional 22 years-old.

**Enhanced Smell:** Gale has enhanced smell that he inherited from his father. He can sniff out poisons, explosives, drugs, and can pinpoint one scent.

**Enhanced Strength:** Gale is particularly strong for his age. Gajeel trained all his children to be able to lift steel boulders at a young age.

**Enhanced Reflexes:** Gale has fast reflexes, though he blames it on living with a father and an Exceed who constantly attack him sporadically.

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combat:** Gajeel made sure all his children were experts of fighting with and without Magic. Gale often uses fighting as his method of release.

**Expert Weapons Specialist:** Gale is an expert of weapons due to his creation of weapons.

**Magic Sense:** Gale can vaguely sense Magic, though his senses grow stronger by the day.
