Carla (Fairy Tail)

**Carla** is one of the main characters of the *Fairy Tail* anime and manga.

Carla is Wendy's serious-minded but well-meaning female Exceed partner and caretaker, born and raised at Cait Shelter after being sent from her native Edolas by her mother, Queen Chagot. Joining Fairy Tail along with Wendy to keep an eye on the latter, Carla is slow to befriend the guild, particularly fellow Exceed Happy. Once she witnesses Happy's efforts to protect his friends in Edolas, however, her friendship with them significantly improves.

In the AWA fics, Carla is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 11.

In the XP4 fics, Carla debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Kick-Off!.

## **Appearance**

Carla is a small, white Exceed with pink ears and brown eyes, which are smaller than Happy's eyes. She also has two whiskers on each side of her face. Carla wears a pink bow near the end of her tail. Carla's usual top consists of a mustard yellow and pink top with a pink bow tie. She wears a pink skirt with this top. Carla, like other characters, seems to switch outfits on a regular basis. When Carla uses Magic, she sprouts two angel-like wings to fly. Her pink Guild Mark is located on her back.

## **Personality**

Unlike the carefree Happy, Carla is very strict and serious most of the time, rarely showing emotions. She cares about Wendy like a mother. She was at first very aloof, turning her nose up at seemingly everyone saves for Wendy. She also tries to get Wendy to shy away from her timid personality, scolding her often for it (which is ironic considering she is not very sociable herself).

As she learned about her mission as an Exceed, she was shocked and sad. She displayed a troubled look when she thought about her mission, which was later revealed to be a prophecy involving Extalia's demise due to her ability to see the future which she inherited from her mother.

Happy instantly took a liking to her from the moment they met, but she, at first, despised him. Later, when they learned the "truth" of the *mission*, he defended her by saying they are Mages of Fairy Tail, not puppets. She started accepting him after seeing his determination to save their friends, as well as from seeing him showing a more serious and brave side, having earlier referred to him as *male cat* and ignored his gifts in the form of fish. Happy saved Carla when they escaped, and she almost fell out of a wagon. She, in turn, saved him from the Edolas Royal Army soldiers by taking a direct blast aimed for him. She also had extreme confidence and no doubts when Happy flew off on his own. When Lily was mentioned as being the strongest out of their group, she put up a smirk and tempted Happy into having a match against him. Recently, she has smiled more (usually with Happy nearby), danced with him when he asked, and even laughed when Happy pointed out Lily's cute side.

She also has a fondness for Darjeeling Tea and does not like tomcats.

### **History**

In Chapter 22, Carla, alongside Chie Satonaka, Lucy Heartfilia, Sai, Sakura Haruno and Wendy Marvell, are seen inside a cave of a remote valley located somewhere in the island of Elsaragozademontelban where they are hiding from the Unicorn-Warriors when Fate Testarossa Harlaown, Heartful Punch, Nanoha Takamachi, Ryuuko Matoi and Undine Wells made their presence and announced their rescue attempts.

In Chapter 23, Carla, alongside Chie Satonaka, Lucy Heartfilia, Sai, Sakura Haruno and Wendy Marvell, are seen having a conversation with Fate Testarossa Harlaown, Heartful Punch, Nanoha Takamachi, Ryuuko Matoi and Undine Wells inside a cave of a remote valley located somewhere in the island of Elsaragozademontelban and afterwards, everyone were about to leave when they heard noises outside the cave and upon leaving the underground cavern, they came across Gash Bell, Kanji Tatsumi, Kiyomaro Takamine, Takuya Kanbara and Yuu Narukami getting confronted by a group of speed-wearing unicorn warriors. Everyone then decided to help the boys in driving away the creatures and after introducing themselves to each other, they decided to head back to the bus.

## **Abilities**

**Area** - Much like Happy, Carla can also use Aera, allowing her to sprout wings on her back and fly. She is strong enough to carry one person while in flight.

**Max Speed** - Just like her fellow Exceed, Happy, Carla can utilize considerable amounts of Magic Power in order for her to fly as fast as she can. Because of this, however, Carla experiences rapid loss of Magic Power, in relation how long the user uses this technique.

**Precognition** - Carla has the same ability to predict what and when something will happen as her mother, Shagotte. She is the only other Exceed to have this ability.

**Transformation Magic** - After one year, Carla has trained herself to able to transform into a human. This transformation gives her a childlike appearance. She keeps her tail with its red ribbon and has shoulder length hair with cat ears on top. In this form Carla's Magic is increased by a bit. As a result her precognitive abilities are enhanced as well.

**Hand-to-Hand Combatant** - Carla has been shown to use swift and powerful kicks in her human form.

**White Moon** - Carla cartwheels into a dropkick on top of her opponent's head. Her kick is strong enough to bring down a member of Orochi's Fin.

## **Trivia**

* Throughout translated media of Fairy Tail, there has been some confusion regarding whether the correct romanization of her name is "*Charle/Charles*" or "*Carla*". However, both versions can be considered correct, as according to the author, Hiro Mashima, "*I think it was the name of a princess from a book that I have read a long time ago. However, in the West, there are a lot of countries in which the Charle is a masculine name, thus in some countries, her name may be different*".
