Jace Hebio

Blake Hebio (older brother)

Blake the Snake (pet)

## **General Information**

**Jace Hebio** is the second son of Erik and Kinana Hebio and the younger brother of Blake. He is a supporting Fairy Tail wizard alongside his two friends, Skyler Conbolt and Raiden Dreyar, as a member of Team Scales. His magic is Poison Dragon Slayer. He is almost always accompanied by his pet snake, also named Blake.

## **Appearance**

Jace has the hairstyle and facial features of his father, but the coloration of both resemble his mother more. Unlike Erik, Jace's skin is less tan but dark enough to hide his blushing. Although he is only seventeen years old, he has a toned and muscular body. Clothing-wise, Jace prefers to wear a short-sleeved, high-collared, white coat overtop a green 3/4-sleeved shirt, dark purple pants, and black boots.

## **Personality**

Upon first meeting him, it is easy to classify Jace as arrogant and heartless. His tremendous hearing from his magic allows him to hear everything and he is unafraid to speak their minds. Literally. However, underneath he is extremely sensitive and loyal to Fairy Tail and his friends. He is particularly soft towards Skyler, as he is unafraid to let his tears fall when she is around. Although he doesn't directly acknowledge Raiden, he still listens, showing his respect for the Lightning Dragon Slayer.

In general, he is respectful to powerful yet wizards, such as Asuka, Metallico, Raiden, and Reiki. On the contrary, he enjoys taunting Reiki and Rosemary in effort to test his own strength, indicating a secret sadistic side.

Jace has a difficult time when it comes to the topic of his older brother (also named Blake) who disappeared nine and a half years ago. Anytime he hears a voice or smells something even remotely like his brother, Jace breaks down. When he was younger, he looked up to Blake and enjoyed taking adventurous walks with him through the forest. Currently, he still goes on morning jogs via the path the two brothers always took and ends with the sunrise as a hope of finding his older brother.

## **Magic and Abilities**

**Poison Dragon Slayer Magic:** Jace's primary magic. He uses this to launch poisonous attacks. For the first five years, he fought alone. However, now he uses it in conjunction with his black mamba pet.

*Poison Dragon's Scales*

*Poison Dragon's Crushing Fang*

*Poison Dragon's Roar*

**Hearing:** Jace is very well known for his hearing, just like his father. It has been hinted that he actually has better hearing than Erik. This was most notably seen in Jace's flashback of his brother and then again twelve years later when he could hear his snake's actual thoughts and determine Blake's gender. In addition, during the Grand Magic Games tryouts, Team Scales was on a quest in Kunugi, where he could hear the events happening in Magnolia.

**Hand to Hand Combat:** Jace has shown skills in hand-to hand combat in conjunction with his magic.

## **Family**

**Erik Hebio:** Jace's father. The two don't speak much, mostly because they can hear each other's thoughts and communicate that way. Jace greatly respects his father and tries to learn from Erik's mistakes. Erik also acknowledges his son's strength, admitting to his teammates that a lot of Jace's success has been a result of internal ideas.

**Kinana Hebio:** Jace's mother. She is a very doting mother who is always happy to serve food to her children. She is also somewhat sheltering, as she tries to shush her husband from talking about their "night of fun" so that Jace wouldn't hear about it. Although she and her son don't interact much as he has gotten older, her caring and willingness to provide a happy life for Jace has not subsided.

**Blake Hebio:** Jace's older brother. He went missing nine and a half years ago, causing immense distress for his entire family. What frightened Jace the most was his inability to hear his brother's voice even though there were no signs of violence around the house. In Jace's flashback, he was shown to be a kind young man who encouraged his little brother despite his implied inferior strength. In Special 4, it is revealed that the two shared an incredibly close bond.

**Blake the Snake:** Jace's companion and a female black mamba. She was found when she was just a baby in the woods. Her origins are unknown as well as how she ended up there. However, she was found and befriended by a five-year-old Jace, who could vaguely hear her voice. She never traveled outside of the woods, growing from the enchanted meat she was fed and accompanying the brothers on their woodland journeys. After Blake the human went missing, she still followed Jace on his morning jogs and watched the sunrises with him. One day, she decided to follow him on an S-class quest. She ended up saving his life and has since been accompanying him on quests with Raiden and Skyler.

## **Friends**

**Blake the Snake:** Jace's pet and teammate. The two have known each other since they were each very young and have developed a very deep bond. Blakey understands Jace's grief over his brother's disappearance and curls around him as if she was giving him a hug. Even when he is not unhappy, she is typically seen wrapped around her mage. Her undying loyalty as well as been proved on several occasions.

**Raiden Dreyar:** Jace's childhood friend and current teammate. After Blake disappeared, Jace huddled alone in the corner and cried in distraught that he couldn't hear his brother's voice. While Jace's parents were out looking for their eldest son, Raiden sat down next to him and kept him company. Over the years, he has taken on the role of a mentor for Jace and helped him grow in his magic and personality. He has earned Jace's respect and always comforts the Poison Dragon Slayer in times of need.

**Skyler Conbolt:** Jace's childhood friend and current teammate. She didn't actually associate with Jace until three years after the disappearance of Guthrie and Blake. On her brother's birthday, Jace heard Skyler crying and went to check on her. After playing outside, she opened up about her brother's disappearance. Upon realizing that they were in the same situation, Skyler and Jace promised to help each other search for their brothers. Currently, their strong bond is very clear. Jace was willing to firmly hold her hand as a means of showing Blake the Snake he trusted her. Both of them are also unafraid to show their vulnerability in front of each other. Additionally, Skyler often reminds Jace that as a member of Fairy Tail and Team Scales, he shouldn't be afraid to explain his struggles.
