## **General Information**

**Raiden Dreyar** is the third child of Laxus and Mirajane Dreyar, and the younger brother of Alexis and Adad Dreyar. He is a supporting character. He is an S-class mage of Fairy Tail, and a member of Team Scales alongside Skyler Conbolt and Jace Hebio. He is a Lightning Dragon Slayer. In X820, per request of Ozzy, he was selected to be a member of Fairy Tail's Grand Magic Games Team.

## **Appearance**

Raiden is a young man of average height and weight He wears a maroon shirt with pink outline overtop dark green pants and black shoes. He inherited his mother's white hair and his father's gray eyes. While he does have developed upper body muscles, they are often hidden underneath his shirt.

   After being selected for the X820 Grand Magic Games, he changed up his outfit to a light gray shirt over dark jeans and shoes.

## **Personality**

Raiden is a very cheerful and relaxed person. Despite passing the S-class trial of X816, he is hardly aggressive and always picks easier quests to go on with Skyler and Jace. However, he is not above taking on a harder challenge if a fellow guild member is accompanying them, such as Metallico and Asuka.

Due to his peaceful nature, Raiden gets along well with other people of the same type, notably Reiki. He is also excellent at handling emotional situations. He is also very wise. He has been known to coach Jace on several occasions in effort to prevent the latter from repeating history. In addition, he does not mind seeing other guys naked, as he encouraged Luke to join them in the hot bath even after the Sabertooth guys were in as well.

Despite his apparent softness, if Fairy Tail is threatened in any way, he is not afraid to show a bit of aggression. This was prominent in defending Skyler during their S-class quest with Metallico and Asuka.

It has been hinted that Raiden has a thing for watching romances. He teases both Reiki and Jace about their romantic lives. However, when kissed by Varsha, he was disgusted and ran out the door. This may have been more due to the fact that she was a stranger to him.

## **Magic and Abilities**

**Lightning Dragon Slayer:** Raiden's primary magic. He doesn't use it much due to his lack of aggression. However, when he does, it is extremely powerful. This power has allowed him to be promoted to S-class.

*Lightning Dragon's Roar*

*Raging Bolt*

*Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist*

*Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist*

## **Equipment**

**Suitcases:** Since he is currently squatting at his siblings' apartment, he has two suitcases of clothes and toiletries, which he keeps by a two seater couch they bought for him.

**Headphones:** Raiden has these for the purposes of listening to music when he returns home and blocking out the noise of the apartment.

## **Family**

The Dreyar family is extensive on both sides. However, he only interacts with a few members.

**Laxus Dreyar:** Raiden's father. He is the ninth guild master of Fairy Tail, and a very stern leader. Since his first-born children caused so much trouble when they were growing up, he payed little attention to his third child. Additionally, he is rarely home thanks to the constant paperwork he has to fill out from Fiore's destruction.

**Mirajane Dreyar:** Raiden's mother. She is a very sweet mother, however, like her husband, she didn't give Raiden a lot of attention due to the trouble Lexi and Addy caused. She currently still runs the bar, although Raiden rarely stops by as he does not like alcohol.

**Lexi Dreyar:** Raiden's older sister. Although she was extremely violent growing up, she never caused direct harm to her little brother. In fact, she was always defending him from Addy, who was less forgiving. She refuses to admit it but she has a soft spot for Raiden, as she offered for him to crash at her apartment when their parents kicked him out of the house.

**Addy Dreyar:** Raiden's older brother. While he never intended direct harm onto his brother, he had to be punched aside by Lexi countless times to prevent an accident from occurring. However, he still cares for his brother as he didn't object to Lexi's idea of letting him stay until he was ready to live with Jace.

**Everett Strauss:** Raiden's only cousin. Raiden only interacts with him because they are temporarily living together. However, it is implied that they are on good terms as Raiden used to sneak home with Everett in order to avoid his older siblings.

## **Friends**

**Jace Hebio:** Raiden's current teammate and friend. As a whole, he trusts Raiden both in and out of combat, and he enjoys playing games with him. Even though Raiden's peaceful nature prevents them from going on horrendously difficult quests, Jace still respects him and will listen. He is also confident enough in his friend's strength and congratulates Raiden whenever a strong spell goes well. Overall, he sees Raiden as an older brother and a source of comfort when things become emotionally rough.

The two didn't get to know each other until after Blake's disappearance in X810. In August X811, Raiden found a lost Jace and helped him get home. The former suggested that the latter come back to the guild hall. Jace agreed, but when he got there he was overwhelmed by all of the noise. It was then that Raiden came over and sat with him. The purple-haired boy fell asleep on the white-haired boy's shoulder. After days of this repetition, Jace began to open up more and became attached while Raiden started to take him for walks and play games.

**Skyler Conbolt:** Raiden's current teammate and friend. She trusts Raiden both in and out of combat, and enjoys playing games with him. She is perfectly happy picking out the medium-hard or easy quests as long as she gets to stay with her two best friends. Although she is very sweet, Skyler is not afraid to stand up and stop fighting between Jace and Raiden. This usually works considering her happy personality.

Skyler didn't know either Raiden or Jace until X813, three years after her older brother, Guthrie, disappeared. She was found crying in a corner by Jace on Guthrie's birthday. Jace pitied her and Raiden invited them both outside to play. After calming her down, Skyler confessed what was bothering her, even though Jace had already heard everything. To her surprise, Jace opened up about his older brother, Blake, disappearing. He then suggested that the two of them look for their older brothers together, which Skyler agreed upon. Since then, she has tagged along with both of them. Overall, she sees Raiden as an older brother and respects him.
