Elwin Strauss

**Elwin Strauss** is a mage of Fairy Tail. He is also the son of Elfman Strauss and Evergreen Strauss.

## Appearance

Elwin has dark tan skin and messy white hair much like his father. However, he has a much less muscular build and is much slimmer than him. His face is less square, as he has a more pointed and angular jaw, like his mother.

He dresses in vests or slacks, as he usually shows his relatively muscular arms. His favorite color is dark blue, and this is seen through his choice in color for his attire and guild mark, which is on his neck.

## Personality

Elwin has a unique personality. While he does have a kind heart and looks out for others, he is a huge pervert. He has fetishes, specific ones in fact, that decide what his dream woman would look like. For example, Layla's hair is what he imagines to be the perfect hair of a woman, and he is constantly annoyed by how it is kept back in a braid. Nashi has the perfect hips, Marigold the perfect breasts, etc. He, however, doesn't find any part of Esmeralda particularly attractive, which annoys her quite a bit.

Despite his attraction to the women of the guild, he does respect them and their wishes as well as disinterest in him. For the most case, he doesn't want to be the partner or significant other of the women he shows affection for, he just idolizes them.

## History

Elwin was born to Elfman and Evergreen Strauss, being their first and only child. Despite having no siblings, he was raised alongside Xavier and Liz, his cousins from his father's side. The three spent most of their time together, forming a very close bond and annoyance to one another.

As the years went by, Elwin grew into a somewhat ditzy young man with a strange fascination with women. He particularly took interest in Layla, who was training under Laxus and Xavier at the time and would occasionally partake in their combat training. Because of this, Elwin has an extreme tolerance for electricity.

Despite the fact that Layla was a bit of a brat, Elwin took a strong liking towards her as he realized that her off-putting personality was just a front for her more awkward and innocent side that she was frightened of sharing. He contained this attraction through an obsession with Layla's long blonde hair.

While still in his teens, Elwin's cousin Liz suddenly left the guild after disappearing on a job she'd taken alone. Neither he nor the rest of his family understood why or where she was. Sometime later, Xavier left with Layla working under Laxus's command, leaving Elwin without his closest friends.

Feeling frustrated by the sudden departure of all his friends, Elwin decided to take a long string of low paying jobs to keep himself busy. This led to him being gone almost half a year, returning with very little money.
