Lightly tracing the floral design on the side of her teacup, Lisanna waited for her companion’s response with great interest. Curiosity played along her lips in a smile, part of her thoughts drifting back and wondering when the last time had been that she had talked with someone on such topics. With everything that had been going on (the finding of new paths to take since Fairy Tail had disbanded), she supposed it had been quite some time.

Ordinarily, she might have talked with Lucy, Levy, or Mira, about ‘types’ and things that interested them in terms of relationships, but even with the growing using of MCLs, they hadn’t really had the occasion to really chat (and it was always better in person anyway). To find herself in such a discussion with Evergreen was…strange, but not in a bad way, not at all. Gaining even a small amount of insight into the woman was rewarding in some way, and Lisanna wondered if Evergreen had many close female friends to turn to.

“Clinginess?” Lisanna hummed thoughtfully; head canted on a delicate angle. No, she supposed she couldn’t imagine Evergreen with a clingy partner, someone constantly in her personal space or wanting her time and attention every minute of every day. Yes, she could imagine Evergreen with someone who had their own hobbies and interests, sharing a sort of ‘existing separately but together’ sort of dynamic where they could do their own thing in each other’s company perhaps. Someone who wasn’t pushy or needy and who could enjoy their own company just as well as she could her own, and who would show interest and support in the things she was drawn to. It sounded healthy, balanced. Was it warm enough?

Lisanna sighed a wistful note, even as her smile took on a trace of sheepishness. She tucked a part of her fringe back behind her ear as she admitted, “I wouldn’t mind a bit of clinginess. I mean, I would still want my own space and time of course, but I think the idea of someone wanting to be around me all the time, staying close…it’s nice.”

Resting her elbow on the table and her head in her hand, her gaze drifted across the room and became rather unfocused. “I suppose there’s some sort of difference between physical clinginess and emotional or mental clinginess, do you think? I know physical affection or any sort of closeness like that isn’t for everyone, but I think I’d like that.” She didn’t know for sure, of course, and could only base the thought around platonic experiences but…a girl could dream.

“It’d be nice to have someone there, always within reach, or already right there, holding you like you’re the most precious person in the world to them... You’ll never be alone, never be forgotten…” Never be taken away from them. You’ll be safe.

Sometimes, it felt as if she would drift away, disconnect from her body and fade into nothingness. Sometimes, it scared her. Sometimes, it didn’t, which was perhaps more unsettling than anything else. It was touch that grounded her, tethered her to the world, reassured her that she was real, present, that someone had her, chose her. She wasn’t lost.

She blinked, pulling herself back to the moment, face beginning to turn a faint pink, hoping she hadn’t revealed too much or worse, completely missed something Evergreen had said. “Um, but yeah, would you…consider yourself an affectionate person?”

♥︎ Lots of people consider Natsu to be “dumb” which I highly disagree with. Book smart is not the only form of intellect. Natsu may do things which may get him in dangerous situations or worse even killed but this is not stupidity, it’s recklessness.

He’s aware of the risks and still takes them regardless. The other argument that people make is that Natsu isn’t book smart, I will not debate anyone on that but what exactly makes him dumb in this sense? The fact that he struggles to read? The fact that he struggles with complex concepts?

I’ve never understood why people think Natsu is dumb. It has been shown that his battle IQ is extremely high and his problem solving skills peak when in stressful situations. His emotional intelligence is also high, he is quick to read situations and think of a solution. For example, during Edolas it was because of Natsu that Mystogan was able to become king. He quickly thought that if they gave the people a common enemy that they would ban together to defeat him. This wasn’t a “dumb” idea at all, in fact it was a highly intelligent one. While he isn’t as smart as Lucy or Levy this doesn’t mean he has to be dumb. None of the other characters are considerably smart either yet only Natsu gets the dumb treatment.

Natsu is definitely more brawn than brains but when forced to he tries his best to come up with ideas. I will compare him to another character in the show who is also considered dumb who is Toby Horhorta. If we look at this comparison alone their intelligence are highly different. Natsu isn’t school smart but can trick someone like Toby with ease and avoid a fight altogether. Also I think it is unfair to compare Natsu’s school intelligence to other characters since he didn’t have a proper upbringing. In the episode “Natsu and the Dragon Egg” in a conversation with Lisanna Natsu states that since there’s no one to take care of him he has to get meals and work by himself. Natsu didn’t have access to education since he had to work from a young age. The only person willing to teach him was Erza who also had an unstable upbringing. Since he’s had to provide for himself since a young age, school has probably never been a priority for Natsu.

Moving on to another form of intelligence Natsu possesses is emotional intelligence. Natsu has for a countless number of times saved the other members from self destruction, self loathing, and even suicide simply by being himself. This type of intelligence is not something that is taught but instinct. When Laxus was on a rampage Natsu’s plan to beat him was to show him how fairy tail shows love. He fought with him to save him but to also show that he’ll always be a fairy. When Gray was about to preform iced shell, he showed him that loosing someone isn’t the way to fix things. And when Erza was going to sacrifice herself, he showed her that her friends would rather have her with them. This couldn’t have been done as well with any other member of fairy tail. Since Natsu acts as the heart of the guild, only he could get through to them in a way that would actually resonate. Because even though it may not seem like it, Natsu understands. He understood that Laxus wanted what was best for the the guild. He understood that Gray’s past was haunting him. And he understood that Erza was scared to death. Despite all of that Natsu still managed to get through to them.

This level of emotional intelligence is extremely hard to have. The fact that Natsu understands it at all is something amazing. So no, I don’t think Natsu is dumb at all. I think he’s one of the smartest characters in fairy tail.

Below are points I consider to be important regarding my muse and I hope they will be kept in mind during plotting/writing. Links to specific headcanon or divergence posts may be included in the below and I may add to this post in the future, as I go back over the manga or think about things further.

Note: filler arcs/chapters and the 100 Year Quest are not included as canon here.

A few months after Fairy Tail disbanded, she joined Blue Pegasus. She attended the FT revival to catch up with everyone, but ultimately she has stayed as a BP mage. She still keeps in regular contact with her FT friends of course.

Edolas is a trauma that is not going away any time soon. Along with some events in her childhood, Edolas has given her a myriad of issues to deal with. She gets anxiety and paranoia about being pulled away from her life/family again, she has trouble separating dreams and reality at times, imposter syndrome, she struggles with not feeling real and with disassociating. She has a level of separation anxiety and gets nightmares. Edolas was about survival, there are some things she cant forget (like seeing guildmates killed in front of her, and Erza Knightwalker hunting them all). Along with the bad, there was some good too, she misses the ones in Edolas that she had grown close to (Edo-Juvia in particular), and she feels there’s no one around her now (aside from Sica) that she can talk to about her whole experience.

The public does not know about Edolas or the truth behind her disappearance in X782. 

Her Takeover forms are a little different to canon and do not appear as skimpy little outfits, instead as bodysuits (like a fitted onesie ig). She has the forms of – tiger, wolf, eagle, bear, cat, dog, hare, swan. The souls of the animals are something she’s always aware of and they can influence her. Having stayed in her tiger form for too long once, she has developed pointed canines. Sometimes, she gets intrusive thoughts from the animal sides that she has to try ignore.

In her earlier years, she had a very happy childhood with her siblings and parents. The relationship between her parents and the wonderful home they had is a huge influence on Lisanna, it’s something she idealises and wishes for herself. She still has good memories of this time in her life and tries to hold onto them. The loss of her parents and the way she and her siblings had to leave the village is still something that hurts.

Nature is very important to her, she loves being outside and taking care of the environment. She’s really into recycling and upcycling.

She is big on touch as it is something she craves and finds natural, it helps to ground her in reality too. She is also very affectionate, but will tone herself down and do her best to respect the boundaries of others.

Tenrou – canon is a bit vague on the timeline, but to me, the S-class trials were a decent while after the Edolas arc. Lisanna, having just returned from a place where she couldn’t use magic for 2 years, would not have volunteered to be Juvia’s partner if it was so recent. She needed time to train up and get back to at least her previous skill level. On that note, the Juvia/Lisanna team up vs Erza…they lost because they were not in sync with each other and because Lisanna – seeing Erza in a fighting mood – was reminded too much of Knightwalker, it had nothing to do with ‘Juvia’s heart not being in it’.

Tartaros – She and Natsu were not naked in the prison cell together. No nudity. Meaning she also didn’t become naked in front of everyone when her magic disappeared a little while after.

During the war – She had returned to BP after FT was re-established as a guild, so when the war began, she was with BP. There were times where she was able to fight alongside her siblings, but also alongside her fellow BP members. On that note, while I haven’t decided if she was with BP when they teamed up with Sabertooth – the two guilds were not crucified by the enemy and were instead simply running low on magic when FT reinforcements turned up.

@icehaloed moved from legacy post

A common name. Lisanna found herself sighing, a smile reflexively coming to her lips. She nodded and hummed, briefly thinking back to her old hometown and wondering how it had fared after, well, everything. Just because Bluebell had chased her and her siblings out when they were young, didn’t mean she stopped caring about the town. There were plenty of nice memories there, and nice people too (although she’d never been able to bring herself to return to the place).

“Flower festival?” Her attention was caught, her smile brightening. If she hadn’t already been holding onto her water bottle, she would have clasped her hands together in excitement. “That sounds wonderful! I would love to see all the jams and preserves too. Ooh, I’ll just have to make sure to visit next time it’s on!”

Her mind was already filling with images of the festival, and of all the sweet treats she could use the fruit preserves for. It was an effort to pull her thoughts back to the moment at hand, and as she spoke, her earlier thought about keeping her questions to herself was far from her mind.

“You said you’re going to visit family? I’m going to meet up with my sister in Carnation. She doesn’t live there, but we’re looking into a quest in the area. Apparently there’s some kinda fire demon in the forest.”

[fairybond]

coruscatiio​: / Eve

as curious as eve was about elfman strauss’ search for the true essence of being a man  ( because what did that even mean? )  and as close he was to suggesting that maybe,  ichiya could assist him on this quest,  eve chose to stick to what he knew how to handle first.  his questions would have to wait a little longer,  he was patient.  ‘ ‘ if your sister calls ahead of time,  i can give you some recommendations for nice places in the area where you could take her for lunch since i doubt you’ll want half the guild to try listening in on your conversation?  i mean  —  you could ask jenny for recommendations as well,  but she has been kind of busy recently … ’ ’  he did trail off there,  feeling a little awkward.  the honest truth was that eve had never quite figured out what the deal between jenny realight and mirajane strauss was,  exactly,  and it had been recommended to him not to ask by windsor who seldom steered anybody wrong.  

there was a reason why eve  —  and hibiki,  too,  in all likelihood  —  was glad that ren still spent a lot of time with his former mentor,  even if their time spent together sometimes just consisted out of sitting in the garden together and studying weather charts as they nursed their glasses of expensive bellumese whiskey. 

asking questions about bryn was,  of course,  one of the safest ways to keep eve talking.  hibiki had once taken advantage of this to keep him from slipping into unconsciousness until they could get his head injury checked out by a healer,  according to ren,  eve had been obnoxious in his pride;  the snow mage himself could not comment as he had no recollection of the incident since he had been concussed. ‘ ‘ she’s about seven years younger than me so she’s sixteen now,  almost seventeen. ’ ’  he shrugged as he managed to push off his shoes without having to untie them first.  ‘ ‘ it’s a pretty big difference in age,  i guess,  but it means that i can actually remember a lot of our earliest shenanigans quite well. ’ ’

and there had been shenanigans aplenty.  rubbing his neck,  he smiled brightly at lisanna as he contemplated her words.  she struck him as the genuine sort which was a nice change of pace from the usual masks that were so common in the guild.  and she was relatively new to the guild and sure,  there were other former members of her old guild in blue pegasus,  but it was probably a good idea to offer her a gesture of welcome to the guild?  ‘ ‘ and for  …  the record,  i guess,  i’m usually there to offer an open ear if you need to talk about anything related to the guild, ’ ’  he offered a bit awkwardly.  ‘ ‘ i can imagine that the difference between fairy tail and blue pegasus is pretty big so if anything confuses you,  you can always just ask me? ’ ’

Sitting up straighter, she adjusted herself to sit cross-legged, eyes alight at his offer of recommendations. While she might have familiarised herself with the wilderness around town, the town itself still held many mysteries for her and she would have been lost in the attempt at finding a good place on her own. And Eve was certainly right, having half the guild listening in was not in her ideal plan for catching up with her sister.

“Thanks, I really appreciate it! I still have so much to learn about everything here.”

Her curiosity wanted her to learn a bit more about Jenny, but she held back from asking, unwilling to bother Eve too much about his guildmates in case he wasn’t comfortable with it. She would just have to learn things herself. She’d spent some time with Jenny before, but like with most members of the guild, there was a layer of shimmering gloss across her that made it hard to know what was real and what wasn’t.

Lisanna rested her elbow on her knee and her head in her palm, other hand free to start tracing shapes on the ground. She drew a heart as Eve spoke of his sister, her gaze returning to him and her smile doing the same. Seven years was quite a gap with siblings, she supposed, but the number only brought to mind the time lost for herself and Fairy Tail. She sighed, looking down for a moment and distorting her drawing with a zigzagging line down its center. Mentions of shenanigans, however, brought her attention right back up, amusement curving her lips.

“Oh, really? I’d love to hear all about that.” Details were needed. It was hard to imagine Eve Tearm getting in shenanigans, he seemed a more straightlaced type to her (though she was aware she didn’t really know him enough to truly know that). She and her siblings had of course had their own fair share of shenanigans too, even before joining Fairy Tail.

Smoothing the surface of the ground to start fresh, she began to draw a simple smiley face, but as she caught Eve’s smiling face, she paused, momentarily dazzled, and yet becoming all too aware of one reason why he had plenty of admirers. He was so pretty. And against her will, her cheeks warmed, and she tilted her head down to hide it.

But she had to look up again, earnest eyes meeting his, fist moving to rest against her chest. “Really? Oh, that’d be great!”

She grinned and laughed, head tilting as she rubbed her shoulder and neck. “I have to admit I feel a little lost sometimes, like…out of place.”

Though that was a feeling she carried around ever since her journey to Edolas.

“But, thank you, it means a lot and, uh, if you need help with anything…I’d be happy to try help.”

Concept: that trope where some dude is hitting on a girl and she's not interested, then another guy comes over to swoop in for the rescue and is like to the girl "hey sorry I'm late babe, is this guy bothering you?" yknow, the fake bf thing.... Except... Reversed and Lisanna is the one that swoops in to play fake gf :)

[fairybond]

he saw an entire universe behind her eyes. sun, moon, stars, and all the planets swirl in perfect harmony within breathtaking blue irises. with no words — he just leans closer, hand lifting to tuck her hair behind her ear. a small smile plays at his lips before easing in to press a kiss to her forehead.

She glanced up at him and found his eyes already on her, and it was as wonderous as catching sight of a shooting star. A rush of excitement, a small miracle. Her heart fluttered in delight, and she could do nothing but stare back at him, an instantaneous smile giving a gentle curve to her lips. Her heart sighed adoringly at the opportunity to hold his gaze, marvelling as always at the specks of colours within it. Like little pieces of gems, or perhaps tiny fragments of the sky and sun.

What was he looking at? She wanted to ask. What did he see when he looked at her?  She wondered briefly if there was something on her face that he was amused about, but that didn’t quite fit the look in his eyes, she thought. Whatever that was.

Despite the warmth in her chest, a wisp of coldness unfurled amongst it. The way he was looking at her…it made it too easy to imagine being special to him, to hope for it. But she was imagining things in any case, wasn’t she.

Even knowing she was being foolish, there was no stopping the tinge of pink that came to her cheeks. It only grew darker as he began to lean closer. Her pulse stuttered so loudly in her ears, she worried for a moment that he would hear it. His touch to her hair was gentle, careful as always, and she wanted to lean into it, to soak up more contact.

Sometimes it felt as if she was a flower, stuck on the edge of a shadow but so close to the light, trying to grow towards it, to catch the light upon her petals…and Sting brought the light to her. Maybe he was no shooting star after all ( she hoped he wasn’t, they were pretty and awe inspiring but fleeting ), and more like the sun – so warm and steady ( she could only hope he would remain as fixed in her life ).

She closed her eyes at the touch of his lips, a hand rising to cover one of her warm cheeks as his name came out in a borderline whine. “Sting…”

What are you doing? The question danced on the tip of her tongue, held back only by the fear of getting an answer. There was no real need to ask, after all, she knew he didn’t know that with every little touch and look, he took another piece of her heart. He didn’t know what he was doing to her.

He didn’t know that he had already set off a chain reaction within her heart that she knew would result in feelings that were far too strong, a supernova of feelings for him that would one day be impossible to contain. But for now…she wondered if she would have to pull all of her feelings back in, compact them into the centre of her chest, let nothing escape.

No, turning her heart into a black hole would never be good and she would, no, could, never withdraw in any way from Sting. He needed support, someone to accept him, and she would not let him for one second feel that she had rejected him.

A sigh slipped from her lips, and she imagined the action as releasing the weight from her shoulders. She moved her arms around him and gave him a quick squeeze of a hug before peering up at him with a teasing grin. Playfulness lit her eyes as she lifted her hands up, capturing his face in a gentle hold. She tugged him down as she bounced herself up on her toes, pressing a kiss to his forehead before dropping down again.

“I can play that game too, y’know, you’re not safe from me just because you’re tall~”

CANON DIVERGENCE: Contact during the One Year

I can’t remember if it’s ever explicitly stated, but it’s seriously implied that once FT disbanded, everyone went their separate ways (few in a small groups together) and had no contact with each other until the revival.

And I’m here to say....no. Fairy Tail is a guild that prides itself on it’s bonds of friendship and family, as we all know, so I don’t accept that they all cut ties easily when the guild was disbanded. They’re not going to go cold turkey on each other and be all ‘well we’re not in the same guild anymore so i dont care about u’

So, here’s a tweak. Everyone tried to stick around after the announcement, but after a few weeks, they did have to accept they couldn’t keep it up. They did begin to go their separate ways, but tried to keep in contact, which could be difficult at times before the mobile lacrimas became more available. 

Levy mostly kept in contact with Jet, Droy, Lucy, Lisanna, and Wendy but did become incredibly busy with council work and become more sporadic.

Lisanna kept up with Mira and Elfman (they were together for the first couple of months and then Lisanna joined BP), and made an effort with Lucy, Levy, and Wendy especially.

Lucy initially kept in contact with Levy, Erza, Wendy, Mira, Lisanna, and Cana (potentially Juvia too, depending on portrayals and she would have tried with Gray if he hadn’t ditched). 

As things often go, people get busy and conversations and messages become few and far between. 

Lucy in particular did feel incredibly lonely, during the first half of the year especially, even with the bits of contact with the others. She still fell into the deep sadness as canon, feeling isolated and left behind as others moved ahead and became busy. She did pull herself out of it but it wasn’t easy.

What contact and interactions she did have helped her with her project of keeping track of everyone, which she did as a way to feel closer to them and give her a focus.

RP CANON: Lisanna - Joining Blue Pegasus

As mentioned across a few posts, during the one year of FT disbanding, Lisanna travelled a couple of months with Mira and did waitressing. But she didn’t feel content with that. She missed going on jobs, missed having guildmates, and wanted to get stronger following the Tartaros battles. In addition, her magic is one that Needs to be used regularly. The idea of joining another guild had crossed her mind, but it hadn’t been a wholly comfortable idea, as FT had been her family and joining another guild seemed like a betrayal of sorts. 

But after talking with a certain someone about not putting her life on hold for FT, Lisanna found the courage to join another guild, and that guild was Blue Pegasus.

Why? Here we go:

Laxus and the Raijinshuu had joined, the familiarity was a draw for Lisanna especially as she had spent quite a bit of time with them since her return from Edolas

The idea of training with Laxus (or at least pestering him for some training) called to her as well. While not normally the type to be focused on power, Lisanna has began to aim for more skill and strength, as she doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone or used against her siblings or guildmates ever again. Training with the raijinshuu was also appealing.

She is a very social person, and chatting with clients and getting to know people is something she enjoys, so BP is a good fit in that way

She also knows Jenny due to the connection to Mira, and is interested in fellow Takeover mages, so that was another draw.

Although not shy or unconfident in herself, she thought being in BP might help her grow and be more comfortable. She had a more tomboyish style and was also unused to any comments on her appearance, so she hoped BP would help her develop and adapt.

The guild isn’t all about hosting clients, she knew there would be a good balance for her with socialising and going on jobs. Her Takeovers can also be very useful for tracking and spying, and information gathering is a lowkey big part of BP operations.

Master Bob is the best ok

It took her a while to get used to how things were done in BP, but she adapted well, with her waitressing skills coming in handy too. Often, it’s hard to get truly close to the mages of the guild, as they all tended to have a certain persona protecting them, but there were a couple she became close to, and in the other cases, she didn’t mind the slight distance (because getting too close to people and having them leave/having to leave herself is painful). 

[fairybond]

‘ i gave up, like, everything. and for what? ‘

meme / no longer accepting

His quiet words fell between them, drawing her eyes over to where he sat. With his elbows set onto his knees and his head down, it seemed as if an invisible weight was resting on his shoulders, pushing him down...and perhaps it was, he had a lot more to deal with than he ever let on, after all. Such a tone from him was…unusual to Lisanna, and his words themselves made her frown, curious and concerned. What was he talking about exactly?

She waited a long moment for him to continue, hoping for a further glimpse into his thoughts. He didn’t have to be an unwavering light around her, didn’t have to be constantly confident and sure of himself…she just hoped he knew that.

When he didn’t go on, she wondered if he regretted letting the words slip, or if he was too deep in the maze of his mind to answer. She slowly unfolded herself from her own spot and stood up, moving over to stand before him. Gently, she began to stroke his hair, letting her fingers shift the soft, blond locks for a moment before she slid her hands to cup his face.

Her thumbs brushed unhurriedly across his cheeks, and she was tempted to guide his head back so she could meet his eyes, but she knew that sometimes it was easier to talk without that contact.

She moved her hands to his shoulders and gave a gentle push so he would straighten up and sit back, allowing her to then adjust herself to sit on his lap. Curling up against him, she slipped her arms around his torso and rested her head against his chest.

When she finally spoke, her voice as quiet as his had been, “What do you mean, Sting?”

RP CANON: Lisanna - pre-FT history

Note: if interacting with Mira or Elfman blogs, i will definitely take into account their own hcs for the family life, this is just what I’m going with by default.

In the early X760s, a man named Oskar moved from his homeland of Caelum to the kingdom of Fiore. After travelling the land for a while, he settled in a farming town named Bluebell and began to start his new life. He brought some land and built his own house and the town was welcoming of him (mostly). He soon came across the ‘belle of Bluebell’, a beautiful woman named Annika Strauss. She might have been as pretty as a flower but she was not easily crushed like one, she was strong willed, her strength coming from having to deal with the running of her family’s business at a young age. She and her family had moved from Stella when she was younger.

Annika was desired by many for various reasons, but she rejected any advances. But to cut a long story short, she eventually fell for Oskar as he was sweet and awkward and not trying to pursue her. Around him, she felt accepted and known, safe and relaxed. They were married (Oskar taking her last name per her family tradition) after a year or two of first meeting, and they supported each other. It was a happy time that was made even happier when Annika had their first child, Mirajane. Two more children followed in as many years and the couple felt blessed.

It was a lovely time for them all, the kids grew up in a happy household. Oskar was a hardworking farmer, but always made time for his kids and wife and he helped in whatever way he could. Annika mellowed out somewhat after having the kids, becoming the more gentle and motherly sort and having more time to spend with them after she finally hired some more help for the business she was running. The blissful family life of loving parents and fun times with her siblings and the pets they had is something Lisanna remembers clearly and misses greatly.

It wasn’t all good, however, as there was an incident when Lisanna was about four years old. The family went for a camping trip, and while it was all fun and went well, when it came to packing up and leaving again, they all forgot one very important thing. Lisanna. She had been off playing as everyone cleaned up, and when she came back to the site, her family was gone. Scared and alone, all she could do was sit there and cry, feeling hopelessly abandoned.

Her family had made it halfway home before they realised they had left her behind, and of course they rushed back for her. She was met with a thousand hugs and apologies and the promise she would never be forgotten again. It took her a long time to let anyone out of her sight after that (and being alone or forgotten is still something that unsettles her).

The years together continued to be happy up until Oskar fell to a mysterious illness and passed when Lisanna was about 9yrs old. Annika took the loss hard but continued to try her best for her children in the year or so that followed. Unfortunately, it became difficult for her to manage everything and continue to support their lifestyle. She was often stressed and, although she didn’t know it, the land and life around suffered because of it. She wasn’t aware of having magic herself, but in her state of grief and worry, it was making the crops wither and the animals leave. The townspeople began to see the family as ‘cursed’ and she felt more alone than ever.

She would go to the church and cemetery to feel closer to Oskar, and it was during one of those visits that she was attacked by a demonic creature. It had been drawn to the impression of death around and it wanted to torment her, with an aim to possess her. 

When their mother didn’t return home, Mira decided to go search for her and heard the townspeople’s worried whispers about the sounds coming from the church. A few of them had tried to go in but been chased out or killed. Mira was sure her mother was inside, so she headed in herself. And she found a demon that resembled her mother. It attacked and scared her, and she fled quickly.

The demon staked it’s claim on the church, attacking anyone that got near. It would also venture out at night to cause destruction before returning to it. A couple of days passed and then Mira decided to go back and face it again. A fight ensued and all Mira could think of was wanting to get her mother back. She ‘took over’ the demon, forcing it from the body and destroying it. Her mother survived for just a few minutes before passing away from her injuries.

Mira never told her siblings the extent of what happened, telling them simply that the demon had killed their mother and had done so quickly. The townspeople viewed Mira as a freak for the way her body had taken on the demonic attributes and she and her siblings were chased out, eventually heading to Magnolia and Fairy Tail.

CANON DIVERGENCE: Guildmarks

Levy, Lucy, and Lisanna, along with most of their guildmates did not have the Fairy Tail guildmark on them after the guild disbanded. As per this post from my other blog, the guildmarks were removed by Makarov in his attempt to get everyone to give up on the guild and disperse.

For Lucy especially, it was difficult to not have the mark on her hand. It was always something that caught her eye and made her smile, made her feel safe and part of something, never alone. Having it gone made her all the more lonely and at times had her wondering if any of it had ever been real. 

When Lisanna joined Blue Pegasus, she chose to get the BP guildmark on the opposite thigh to where her FT one had been, as she didn’t want to feel she was replacing/overwriting FT.

[fairybond]

CANON DIVERGENCE: Lisanna - Tenrou

The Tenrou arc does not happen as close to the Edolas arc as it does in canon. I can’t actually remember how close they were but they’re definitely more spaced out in my book.

Lisanna had no magic when she was in Edolas, she had to train for months after her return in order to get her magical stamina and skill level back up. She would not have volunteered to be Juvia’s partner if she had only very recently returned and wasn’t at least back to her old skill level.

Additionally, Lisanna and Juvia lost the fight to Erza during the trial not because Juvia’s heart wasn’t in it or whatever, but a combination of the fact Lisanna and Juvia were not in sync as fighting partners (Lisanna and Edo-Juvia were good friends and had their own fighting style together and it just didn’t work the same with Juvia) and the fact that facing Erza in a battle situation triggered Lisanna’s panic and memories of Erza Knightwalker. It all threw her off, and so she blames herself for their loss.
