Blake the Snake

Description
Blake the Snake "Blakey" is a recent member of Fairy Tail and a black mamba snake. She tags along with Team Scales as Jace's pet.

Appearance
Being a black mamba snake, Blakey has olive green scales. When angered or irritated, either via her own accord or assisting her mage, she opens an inky black mouth as a warning. Normal black mambas are skinny and only 14 feet (4.3 meters). However, Jace has been feeding her enchanted meat. This has allowed her to bulk up and reach a total length of 24 feet (7.3 meters) when not inhibited by sizing spells or lacrimas.

History
Blakey was first found as a baby when Jace was around four or five years old. He was playing in the woods with his older brother, also named Blake, when he heard Blakey's voice. He picked her up and heard her thoughts of distress from being dropped off there and now harassed by a human. Jace wanted her to be his friend, so he took his father's advice and brought her food. Over the course of twelve years, he has kept visiting her and watching the sunset with her.

Personality
While just a snake, Blakey is very loyal. She always joins Jace on his morning jogs and got ready to fight when she sensed imminent danger one morning. In addition, when she snuck aboard the Danger Rover, she listened to Jace's commands. After Team Scales, Asuka, and Metallico were horrendously beaten thanks to C, Blakey stayed by their sides and warded off vultures until they were all rescued. Even so, she stayed by Jace's side as he went in and out of the guild hospital. In addition, it took a lot of convincing from Erik to let her know that Wendy was only trying to heal her mage, not hurt him.

According to Jace, Blakey only thinks in phrases. However, what she says is usually very important. The reason for this is unknown. If the phrase is especially important, Blakey will think the phrase on repeat to emphasize this.

Overall, she seems to be perfectly content spending time in the guild hall with Jace. Even though it is rowdy, she peacefully sleeps curled up on the second floor railing.

Magic and Abilities
High Durability: While the black mamba has no magic abilities, her scales are apparently resistant to fire, water, ice, and lightning. It is unknown if this is natural or due to the enchanted meat Jace has been feeding her.

High Endurance: Blakey is extremely hardy. She has somehow survived eleven winters after Jace discovered her and remain perfectly alive. When Nashi used Iron Fist against Jace, the snake was able to take the full impact with minimal damage. She also took a dIirect magic blast from C but was able to get back up and defend her teammates. It is unknown if C attacked the snake again after they all blacked out.

Intellect: Blakey appears to be rather smart for an animal. She also seems to be somewhat capable of comprehending human interactions, calling Rosemary's motives for entering the Grand Magic Games as "selfish", albeit this may have been a bit biased thanks to Jace's words. In addition, both times Saiya was brought to the guild, she was able to quickly recognize her relationship Jace, probably by smell alone. She was also able to sense the little girl's overall sickness and heavily warned her Poison Dragon Slayer about this. It is possible that the enchanted meat diet either enhanced or developed this ability.

Friends
Jace Hebio: Blakey's first and best friend. 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.



Skyler Conbolt: Originally the snake was extremely wary of her. However, thanks to Jace's coaxing she now trusts Skyler and allows herself to be petted.

Raiden Dreyar: It is unknown how much she affiliates with Raiden, but it can be assumed that she trusts him as well thanks to Jace's trust in his teammate.
