Happy

"We're not your puppets!! We are... Mages of Fairy Tail!!!"

**Happy** (ハッピー, *Happī*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**.

Happy is an Exceed from Extalia, and is Natsu's best friend and little buddy and a member of Team Natsu. Happy is able to fly by using magic called Aera magic and is able to fly Natsu places for short periods of time.

Happy is a cat from the planet Excede and a machine companion of Rebecca Bluegarden. He is also a member of the Edens Zero's crew.

## Personality

### Fairy Tail

Despite his small stature and eccentric appearance, Happy is very loyal to his teammates and fellow guild members and has a fairly significant amount of knowledge of the Magic world, in some cases, more than Lucy and Natsu. Given that he has been around Natsu Dragneel since his own birth, Happy often emulates Natsu in his actions and responses. He is quick-witted and cheeky, especially to Lucy Heartfilia; however, Happy sometimes shows little bits of a darker side of himself, for example when making a comment on the devastating aspects of the Magic of his comrades.

He loves fish more than anything else, and he doesn't like dogs (except for Plue). He offers a comic relief with his catchphrase, "Aye!" or "Aye Sir!". He holds a respect and admiration to Exceed like himself and drools on Loke's shoulder when he finds out that Loke is the celestial spirit of Leo the lion. Happy has also developed a strong affection towards Carla, another Exceed who at first blows him off, but then begins to like and respect him.

### Edens Zero

Happy is a kind, friendly, playful young android cat who, as with many machines, is capable of feeling and expressing emotions. In comparison to his more spirited partner Rebecca Bluegarden, he is generally level-headed and serious, and openly acknowledges the lack of success for their shared B-Cube channel, Aoneko Channel. Despite this, he shares many similar traits with Rebecca, such as being a self-described shut-in who plays video games prior to the start of their adventure. He is also somewhat mischievous, teasingly commenting that Rebecca could attract more men if their videos had more sexual appeal. However, he is extremely empathetic towards his friends, expressing anger and sadness whenever he sees them suffer.

When Happy is first revived as an android, he is initially deeply insecure about his mechanical nature out of fear of being rejected by Rebecca. Ever since Rebecca's assurance that Happy was still the same to her regardless, however, Happy has become more comfortable with being a machine. Being a cat, Happy has a fondness for eating fish and is uncomfortable around dogs, including the Nikora race, despite them being almost unrecognizable as dogs. However, he has no issue with mechanical dogs, such as one he dances together with on Granbell.

Happy often uses the catchphrases "Aye" or "Aye sir" as a form of affirmation.

## Character Design

### Fairy Tail

Happy is a small blue Exceed with a white stomach. He has a rectangular head, with pink ears, big black eyes with small, thin eyebrows, and light blue cheek marks near to his tiny whiskers (two on each side of his face). Happy has a triangular nose that leads to semi-round upper lips on the sides. His body is rectangular too, and being an Exceed, it has a structure that allows him to walk erect unlike normal cats. Despite having no thumbs, Happy is able to hold things. He has a long, white-tipped tail; and the other parts of his tail are blue. Additionally, Happy is able to use his tail to hold onto objects. Happy is usually seen carrying around a green backpack, where he keeps food and items that can be used in battle. This backpack also covers his green Guild Mark that is on his back. When using his Magic, he can grow a pair of large, feathered, angel-like wings that allow him to fly around and carry others. Happy usually does not wear clothes, the only few times being during the Fantasia Parade, to disguise himself in Edolas, and when his parents gave him clothes, again in Edolas.

### Edens Zero

Happy is a small blue cat with a white stomach and a black-tipped tail. He has a rectangular head, with pink ears, big black eyes with small, thin eyebrows, and light blue cheek marks near his tiny whiskers on either side of his face. Unlike normal cats, Happy's body structure allows him to walk erect.

## Abilities

### Magic

**Aera** (翼(エーラ), "Ēra"): Happy is able to sprout angelic wings that give him the ability to fly and carry objects or one person at a a time for a specific amount of time.

* **Max Speed** スピード **Makkusu Supīdo**): Happy utilizes a considerable amount of Magic Power to fly as fast as he can. This speed can be used to dodge incoming attacks or to attack the enemy. A disadvantage of this technique would be rapid loss of Magic Power, in relation to how long Happy uses this technique.
* **Max Speed Attack** (スピードアタック Makkusu Supīdo Atakku): While using Max Speed, Happy flies as fast as he can, and then strikes the opponent with his own head. This attack was powerful enough to destroy a Thunder Palace Lacrima, which was about two or more times the size of Happy.

**Transformation Magic** (変身魔法 **Henshin Mahō**): Mirajane taught Happy, Natsu and Lucy basic spells of Transformation Magic. However, Happy is only able to transform into a super deformed version of Lucy. Unfortunately, his attempt was a failure and in Lucy's words, "creepy".

**Fire Magic** (火の魔法 **Hi no Mahō**): Happy can use this Magic to breathe fire

**Enhanced Durability**: Despite his small and seemingly frail stature, Happy has proven to possess incredible durability by surviving a city-wide explosion caused by Jackal, one of the Nine Demon Gates, despite being in the center of the explosion when it occurred.

### Powers and Skills

* **Happy Blasters** (ハッピーブラスター, "Happī Burasutā"): Happy can transform his mechanical body into a pair of blasters that fire Ether bullets. These bullets are powerful enough to incapacitate their targets, but won't kill them.

* **Ether Bullet Full Burst** (エーテル弾 フルバースト, "Ēteru Dan Furu Bāsuto"): Happy charges energy and fires a powerful burst of Ether bullets on the target, causing massive damage. Using this technique leaves Happy exhausted afterwards.

**Machine Physiology**: As a machine, Happy does not have any issues with breathing or communicating while underwater.

## Story

### **Fairy Tail**

Years ago, when Happy was just an egg, he was taken away from his parents, Lucky and Marl, by the queen of Extalia, Shagotte, to carry out the Dragon Slayer assassination plan. In actuality, sending him to Earth Land, along with all the other Exceed eggs, was done to allow him to escape a future disaster in Edolas.

In X778, Natsu found Happy's egg in the East Forest of Magnolia Town. Natsu then took it back to the guild where he and Lisanna raised it together every day. One night, Elfman took it to keep it warm and the next day when he brought it back, it began to hatch and out popped a kitten with a pair of wings. Happy's first word was "Aye." Natsu gave him the name "Happy" after Lisanna pointed out the change of the atmosphere from anger to happiness after Happy hatched from the egg. Despite everyone else seeing him as a cat, Natsu thought he was a Dragon.

### **Edens Zero**

Happy was a cat found by Rebecca when he was young. He instantly became friends with her due to them sharing common life events. He received his name "Happy" from Rebecca for making her happy by becoming her friend. Sometime later, an accident occurred where a drunk driver ran over Happy, which ended up killing him. Thanks to Professor Weisz, he was revived into a machine body and continued his friendship with Rebecca.
