## **General Information**

**Luke Nash Dragneel** is a Fairy Tail wizard and a deutoragonist. He is the son of Natsu and Lucy Dragneel, and the brother of Nashi, Igneel, and Layla Dragneel. His specialty magic is Celestial Spirit. He is a current member of Team Trials along with Rosemary Fernandes and Jay Fullbuster.

## **Appearance**

Luke has spiky blond hair and chocolate brown eyes. Since he is only fifteen, he lacks prominent torso and arm muscles. Additionally, he doesn't like to work out, leaving him scrawnier than most of the men in the guild. Luke usually wears a cherry blossom hoodie overtop cargo pants and sandals. He also wears a dark belt that holds 6 silver keys.

## **Personality**

Luke is somewhat reckless like his older sister and father. He often challenges Nashi to duels, but loses almost every time. He is also eager to challenge Rosemary and Jay, albeit for different reasons. However, he is never seen challenging anyone else, indicating either fear or sensibility.

Despite his outward vibrato, Luke is actually very emotional. The disappearance of Igneel followed by Nashi's sudden distancing traumatized him when he was five. As a result, every month of June (the twins' birthday) he falls into a depression. He desires to earn his Grandfather Igneel's scarf in order to get Nashi to acknowledge him, indicating his hidden loneliness.

Additionally, he is insecure about relationships and has a hard time bonding with other people. He only got to know Jay through their fathers' rivalry and the development of their own over Rosemary. Even with his Spirits, he reached out to Reiki for help with magic in order to better protect those he loves.

## **Magic and Abilities**

**Celestial Spirit Magic:** Luke's primary magic. He has a total of six silver keys, and they all refer to him as "Prince."

*Gate of the Big Dog: Canis Major:* A large humanoid snowman. It appears to be the larger version of Canis Minor (better known as Plue). According to Hydra, he thinks that Luke is one of the best masters he's had in a long time.

*Gate of the Female Serpent: Hydra*: A woman covered in snakeskin with snakes in her hair. She wears a nasty glare on her face. She has the ability to transform into a green and black sea serpent as large as the current guild hall. Luke found her key in a water lagoon. Jay didn't think she was worth anything until seeing her ability to deal with his water. While she doesn't admit it, she cares for Luke, as she didn't let him drown and also stood up for him during the Grand Magic Games Tryouts. She even straight up told Natsu that Luke is one of the best masters she has had in a long time.

*Gate of the Hare: Lepus*: A small brown hare. He is one of the few Spirits who is unable to speak the human languages and does not know how to do anything but attack. As such, Luke does not know him very well. However, according to Hydra, Luke is one of his best masters.

*Gate of the Sly Beast: Vulpeca*: He is a humanoid orange fox. He smokes a cigar, and he wears dark shades and a bowling hat. Rosemary commented on his hand-to-hand combat skills before exploiting his weakness: having his tail stepped on. Regardless, according to Hydra he considers Luke to be one of his best masters.

*Gate of the Hunter: Orion*: He is a bare-chested man with enormous muscles, brown hair, and brown eyes. He wears a fur kilt and holds a hunting spear in one hand. Rosemary considered him a challenge and he put up a good fight against her. In fact, she thought he was Luke's strongest spirit. The Hunter immediately denied this, possibly indicating his humbleness. In addition, according to Hydra he believes that Luke is one of his best masters in history.

*Gate of the Hidden Dweller: Chameleon*: He is a bare-chested young man clad in pants designed to look like a chameleon. Additionally, he has rainbow hair and various tattoos all over his toned and muscular body. Similar to the real-life animal, he can change the color of his skin and clothes to match his surroundings. This allows him to pass by traps with motion sensors. He is very flashy and loves showy stuff, ranging from combat to teasing Luke about his feelings. Chameleon once told Luke that if he was a human, he would be a famous actor and model, which his master completely believed. Even though he can be embarrassing, he is not above congratulating Luke for improvement and considers him to be one of his finest masters.

## **Family**

The Dragneel family is very extensive and reaches back to Zeref Dragneel, the formerly 400-year-old wizard, and Anna Heartfilia, the Celestial Spirit wizard who sent the Dragon Slayers to the future. In general Luke isn't particularly close with his family, barring his mother.

**Natsu Dragneel:** Luke's father. While they both share recklessness, Luke doesn't challenge the same people as Nashi. At the same time, he is eager to train with his father as long as it is not June.

**Lucy Dragneel:** Luke's mother. The two have a close bond due to their shared grief over Igneel's disappearance. He enjoys spending time with her and has learned to cook.

**Igneel Dragneel:** Luke's older brother. When Luke was born, Igneel and Nashi would fight over Luke and try to be the best sibling to him. Igneel's disappeance in X810 happened while Luke was five. Luke doesn't remember much other than he had started to become attached when Igneel vanished.

**Nashi Dragneel:** Luke's older sister. He always challenges her as a means of testing his own strength. However, he still loses every time. Part of the reason is because he is trying to regain the attention he lost from her after Igneel's disappearance. Apparently he used to bite her a lot before she moved out.

**Layla Dragneel:** Luke's younger sister. He thinks of her as a "Daddy's Girl" and a "Mommy's Princess" at the same time. So far the siblings have only had argumentative interactions.

## **Friends**

**Jay Fullbuster:** Luke's current teammate. Jay and Luke met at the guild hall and share a rivalry over their crush on Rosemary. They constantly try to prove their strength and skill to both the young redhead and each other. It is unknown if they share an actual connection outside of this.

**Rosemary Fernandes:** Luke's current teammate. She considers him a friend and always encourages him. Rosemary is well aware of the Dragneel situation and understands how much it affects Luke. After the second Tryouts trial, she recognized his solemn attitude as a result of Nashi not paying attention. Instead of scolding, she gently encouraged him to come inside when he was ready.

**Chancey Alberona:** Luke doesn't interact much with Chancey outside of their training sessions. She comes by to either help them get stronger or simply observe.

## **Trivia**

* Luke is one of the few characters that hasn't changed from the author's first draft of Adventures Await. He always had a crush on Rosemary and was a weaker Celestial Wizard than his sister and mother. The momma's boy card was added later.
* Luke likes to spend a lot of time with his mother, especially while cooking. As a result he most likely knows more recipes and cooking techniques than Nashi (who admitted she buys her food from the guild bar).
* He wears a cherry blossom hoodie because it reminds him of Nashi's and Igneel's hair color.
* Orion has stated that Luke has much stronger keys than The Hunter himself. This implies that Luke is either a) stronger than he looks or realizes, b) needs more training to be able to use said keys, or c) chooses not to use said keys for personal reasons.
