Like many of its predecessors in the shonen genre, such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Fairy Tail is an oftentimes light-hearted romp about a group of young people exploring a magical world and getting involved in large, centuries-long conflicts.
Magic plays a prominent part in the setting. Those who can wield magic can become trained mages and work in guilds, such as Fairy Tail, to go on adventures and earn a living.
As a shonen series, Fairy Tail regularly features battles between magic users, formidable creatures and villains. Fighting is such a staple that characters can duke it out against each other for the sake of duelling. Many of the greater conflicts in the setting extend to entire kingdoms and nations.
The main cast in Fairy Tail is composed of the quartet of Natsu, Erza, Lucy and Gray, with the Exceed known as Happy tagging along to form Team Natsu. Later additions to this ensemble include Wendy and Carla, with supporting characters such as the guild’s founding master, Mavis, and the S-Class mage Mirajane also appearing regularly.
The magic system in the show is based off of the fusion of an organism’s physical spirit with the spiritual essence found in nature, the result of which produces Magic.
Magic is primarily classified into Caster Magic, which is emitted from the body, and Holder Magic, which is reliant on external sources, such as weapons or equipment.
Natsu’s pyromancy, Gray’s power over ice, and Happy’s ability to fly are all examples of Caster Magic. The Spatial Magic that Erza commonly uses often equips her with weapons and armor with innate magical properties, which are instances of Holder Magic.
Other special classifications of magic exist, such as Lost Magic, which refers to substantially powerful spells that have long been lost or forgotten.
With her terrific aptitude in magic and combat, the epithet Titania fits Erza like a glove. She largely earned the nickname for establishing herself as Fairy Tail’s strongest female wizard.
Outside the setting, the name “Titania” is also a reference to the Fairy Queen in William Shakespeare’s classic play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Taken in this context, the nickname casts Erza in a new light as the “queen” of the guild with a fairy-themed motif.
Another odd-sounding callsign in Fairy Tail is Natsu’s – who is also referred to as “Salamander” by his colleagues.
Due to his innate immunity to fire and his ability to breathe flames thanks to his Dragon Slayer magic, Happy quickly observes that Natsu shares these traits with the mythical Salamander in Medieval European folktales.
Although actual salamanders are amphibious and aren’t resistant to fire, they also share a resemblance with dragons, which adds another layer of meaning to Natsu’s nickname.
