Nashi Dragneel

General Information
Nashi Luna Dragneel is an S-class mage of Fairy Tail specializing in Fire Dragon Slayer and Celestial Spirit magic. She is the daughter of Natsu and Lucy (neè Heartfilia) Dragneel and the twin sister of Igneel. She is also the older sibling of Luke and Layla. Currently, she is a member of Team Unstoppable with her two best friends, Reiki Fernandes and Crispin Fullbuster. In X817 and X820, she was selected to be a part of the Grand Magic Games teams, although the latter was due to Ozzy.

Appearance
Nashi is a teenage woman of average weight and slightly taller height. She inherited her mother's large bust size, brown eyes, and wide hips. However, she has her father's hair color and hairstyle, and she rarely keeps it up or brushes it. She always has her plain, white scarf given by her father when she was two. ""In X817 her outfit was very similar to her father's. She wore a white, crop tank top underneath a black vest. Her bottoms were cream pants and sandals. This changed slightly in X820. Now, she wears a black crop tank top over cargo pants, but has retained the sandals.

For the Grand Magic Games, she opted to wear cargo capris under a brown, crop tank top and dark gray vest.

Her golden insignia is located on her right shoulder. The color was inspired by her father's stories of his golden flames after eating Jellal's Flame of Rebuke. She aspires to gain them as well, despite having enormous raw power as it is.

Personality
Nashi is very much like her father. She is reckless and somewhat awkward outside of combat. However, as pointed out by both herself and Reiki, she is extremely battle smart. Anytime there's a chance to beat up those who threaten Fairy Tail, she will leap at the chance and whine when forbidden from doing so. This proves her loyalty to her guild, something she is very proud of. Nashi is also very stubborn and determined. She consistently charges at other mages stronger than her even though she knows she might get beaten, notably Reiki and the Dreyar twins. As children, she and Igneel would try and pull pranks on the others, particularly Asuka, Blake, and Metallico.

She shares the same friendly rivalry with Cris that her father and Gray share. Interestingly enough, Nashi is rarely seen without Cris by her side, even when splitting up on quests. However, it has been noted that they act more like brother and sister.

Despite her idiotic and aggressive appearance, Nashi is actually very sensitive to relationships. Having lost her older twin brother, Igneel, nine and a half years ago, she breaks down when there is any chance that she thinks she recognizes him. She will go to extreme lengths to search for Igneel, such as learning how to read and write and using Canes Venatici to search for things behind Master Laxus' back. Cris noted that she has started to become more irritated at the situation, particularly after the investigation started.

Additionally, she is well aware of Reiki's feelings for others and gawks at his social ignorance. However, it is worth noting that she is only visibly keen on a few people, the others being Cris, Calypso, Eleodoro, Larry, and Mya. Despite this, she is somewhat ignorant herself, as she is blissfully unaware of Luke's attempts at getting her attention. (This is somewhat untrue as she admitted to Reiki and Cris for "having a reason" for her actions)

Nashi does not like being left out of events that involve Dragon Slayers. When Team Scales, Metallico, and Asuka returned from the weather quest, she scolded them for leaving her behind even after witnessing their major injuries.

Magic and Abilities
Fire Dragon Slayer: Inherited and taught by her father, Nashi is the most proficient with this type of magic. For some reason, she did not inherit Natsu's antibodies. As a result of her extreme assertiveness and use of the magic, she has shown forms of dragonification. This includes yellow eyes with slits, dry and hardened skin, strengthened finger nails and toenails, a beastly growl, and more recently a small facial extension into a snout.

Fire Dragon's Claw

Celestial Spirit Magic: Although she is not nearly as proficient with this magic, Nashi is capable of summoning Celestial Spirts. Cris mentioned that she has five keys, although she tends to forget them at her apartment. The other four are revealed in Special 2.

Gate of Hunting Dogs: Canes Venatici

Gate of the Fire-Bird: Phoenix

Gate of the Small Lion: Leo Minor

Keen Intellect

Although she doesn't act like it, Nashi is quite intelligent even outside of battle. She was able to beat both Chancey Alberona and Cris in a game of cards until Reiki joined in, and she has written two novels despite being her initial illiteracy. In combat, she picks up on the enemy's strategies and weaknesses very quickly thanks to her years of training with Reiki. This was most notably shown when she pointed out the Ice mage's Thought Projection on Tenrou Island after battling for only a few minutes. In addition, at some point on her own she figured out Cris' skeleton in the closet without him saying anything.

Enchanced Strength

Despite her slim figure, Nashi is very strong and can easily deliver destructive blows with just her fists. As Reiki pointed out, she could burn down the guild hall with her fists if she wanted to.

Enhanced Smell

Thanks to her Dragon Slayer magic, Nashi has a very good sense of smell. She was easily able to detect the Ice mage on Tenrou Island in the midst of heavy steam until he started using his magic in a way that diverged his scent everywhere.

Enhanced Hearing

Nashi has very good hearing. She rarely misses anytime Cris mutters an insult, whether it is about her or other wizards.

Enhanced Endurance

In contrast to her figure, Nashi is very sturdy. She is able to hold her ground against Reiki when he blocks her attacks. She can also withstand guild fights followed by going on another quest. Additionally, she was able to complete a sleepless SS-class quest following a night of bad sleep.

Immense Magic Power

Being an S-class mage, Nashi possesses a tremendous amount of magic. Her fire is strong enough to sublime Al's ice and keep it that way. This same ice is also able to instantly freeze Cris' Water-Make Magic. She is also able to almost instantly melt Cris' Ice Wave, a spell that covered an entire upper half of a mountain. When angered, she has the ability to melt rock with just Iron Fist. In addition, during her demon-dragon-hybrid form, her heat is hot enough to melt clothes and stone buildings in town that are far away. The only way of subduing this is by Natsu using his strongest move, Purgatory Fire to knock her out. Even then, it left him exhausted.

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 Nashi isn't particularly close with her family, barring her father and older brother.

Natsu Dragneel: Nashi's father. She has looked up to him ever since she was little, and mimics him in various ways, from her hair to her fighting style. Nashi desperately wants her father to raise a proper son and is searching for Igneel as part of that.

Lucy Dragneel: Nashi's mother. As Nashi was never a girly girl, their relationship struggled. However, Nashi cares about her, wanting to find Igneel in order to end Lucy's depression over her lost child.

Igneel Dragneel: Nashi's older twin brother. He is the spitting image of his father and went missing when he was nine years old, something that greatly affected Nashi. She is constantly searching for him in an effort to talk to him again. They were attached at the hip and constantly arguing and competing. They fought, ate, slept, and pulled pranks together. In addition, they would snatch their younger siblings and try and be the best at caring for them in an effort to see who was the best role model. However, despite this they were very close and always ensured they competed in fair conditions.

Luke Dragneel: Nashi's younger brother. She doesn't really interact with him much outside of his challenges at the guild hall with his own Celestial Spirits. She is clearly stronger than him as he loses every time. She also considers him a momma's boy instead of a real son Natsu can raise. However, deep down Nashi still cares for him as she secretly looks for Igneel on Luke's behalf as well.

Layla Dragneel: Nashi's younger sister. The rare interaction between the two involves insults and sarcasm. Nashi mentioned that she has started to use Fire magic. Since Layla was only two when Igneel disappeared, Nashi's search is also so that Layla can meet her big big brother one day. Even though Nashi despises her bratty attitude.

Friends
Reiki Fernandes: Nashi's childhood friend and current teammate. She prefers to call him "Mr. Blank" depending on the situation. Where this arose from is unknown. She is constantly following him around with Cris and prefers to let him create the strategies while she delivers the blows. While not explicitly stated. It has been hinted that Nashi has feelings for Reiki that go beyond a friendship.

After Igneel's disappearance in October X810, Nashi latched onto Reiki as a means of comfort. This was because he was the only one who was patient enough to listen to her tears. Since he was always reading and relaxed, Nashi decided to investigate. At first she was illiterate, so Reiki would read the stories aloud to her. She recognized how much this hobby helped, so she decided to learn how to read. Through the help of her mother and listening to Reiki, she was able to read full novels after one year. Another year later, in X812, Nashi asked her now good friend to help her learn how to write so that she could try to communicate with her brother. Reiki agreed, and six years later Nashi published her first novel under the alias Luna Heartneel.

Crispin Fullbuster: Nashi's childhood friend, rival, and current teammate. The two share more of a brother-sister relationship, always arguing and fighting just for the sake of it. They are very competitive and rarely leave each other's side, except to go to home. Often times if one is quiet, so is the other. Together, they are constantly beaten down by Reiki when they get too riled up. However, Nashi has shown a more selfish side as when she nearly beat up Cris because he was "interfering" with the investigation.

Chancey Alberona: Nashi's friend. Nashi mostly interacts with Chancey during her downtime between quests. They play card games together, with the former winning often. Nashi has also given her tips on how to deal with the ferocious Fernandes in hand-to-hand combat. The two women are open to each other about their familial relationships, indicating a level of trust.
