And believe me, I generally hate fanservice and have nitpicked where it's popped up before. Still, I'll agree that I'd like to see her upfront more and doing stuff, having multiple serious fights rather than just one an arc. She is one of the main female leads after all. But it's not too bad, so this is only a nitpick. However, I'd take issue that she rips off Nami and Bulma; the latter two never fought. In shounen series, it's mainly the guys fighting, so it's a large reason why I like Fairy Tail, because the girl's can kick as much ass; Erza especially. And Lucy is being foreshadowed as being just as strong once she reaches her full potential. |

Would be nice to see Lucy get into more fights and get as involved as the others. Still she does get her moments like fighting the members of that dark guild on her own. Think in part it's because of Lucy not recognizing her own strengths. Has all these strong characters surrounding her and doesn't see how useful she is. She pretty much said in it the last few episodes in not seeing herself as being the least useful in a fight. Think it will require some more confidence before we see Lucy fighting even more within each arc.

While it's perfectly fun to see Lucy fight, I'm more than happy to see her stress over rent, stress over never having a boyfriend (despite being drop-dead gorgeous) and generally be a neurotic mess.

Sure she doesn't fight as much as compared to Natsu, Gray or Erza, though that's totally understandable.

Lucy is def. a funny character on the show but I really don't find her all that special. I think the celestial wizard thing is kinda lame with her having to use the celestial key things and what not. I also think that the celestial beings she has are lame as well except for Leo of course. In the end she is hilariously funny but no where near being a bad a** as her team members are.

I understand. It's just that she's not meant to, anymore than that dog-like thing she got in the first episode who functions more as a mascot. He doesn't do anything, whereas at least Lyra sings well. I'd actually like to see more of the old spirit dude who is a spirit information source. I think we only ever see him once.

^ I think the post you quoted was referring to Lyra, who has only appeared once or twice and knows stuff about magic (Happy style) and sings. In any case, Lyra and Plue (snowman-dog) are luxury keys, even when Lucy bought Plue's key in the first episode, the owner told her it's nothing special. Still, more keys is never bad, maybe Lucy's got so much magic because she's always keeping a spirit out most of the time.

Here's something I found interesting on the HuffPo today.
"New Zodiac Sign Dates: Ophiuchus The 13th Sign?" Your zodiac sign may not actually be your zodiac sign anymore. Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus. Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected. The change didn't happen over night either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed. While the sign many people were born under may now be different, it shouldn't affect horoscope readings, according to NBC. See if your Zodiac sign has changed below. The New Dates: Capricorn: Jan. 20 - Feb. 16 Aquarius: Feb. 16 - March 11 Pisces: March 11- April 18 Aries: April 18 - May 13 Taurus: May 13 - June 21 Gemini: June 21 - July 20 Cancer: July 20 - Aug. 10 Leo: Aug. 10 - Sept. 16 Virgo: Sept. 16 - Oct. 30 Libra: Oct. 30 - Nov. 23 Scorpio: Nov. 23 - Nov. 29 Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 - Dec. 17 Sagittarius: Dec. 17 - Jan. 20 link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0...=kristin_leigh Looks like Lucy might be stuck chasing one more key than originally thought. |

Still, since we got more than one person wondering, here's my take on it: if it ever happens, it will need to be inserted into the plot as either someone the old zodiacs don't know or as the spirit king himself. Doubt the latter though, since the word brings to mind a snake and a pot. |

And ironically, I only remembered the 13th one after remembering the old Final Fantasy Tactics, which had the Zodiac Braves, heh. The 13th one was at the bottom of an optional dungeon.
If anything, I bet the 13th one (if there is one), will be some kind of fallen spirit. Perhaps almost as strong as the Spirit King. |

There's a foreshadowing of Lucy being strong? Actually, if there was, I didn't get it. On her fight against Angel, Angel says that she's pretty much done herself in for summoning 4 golden keys consecutively with a low magic power to support it. Well, whatever. Lucy's still one of my favorite character. (I have to admit, on the first few episodes of FT, I was annoyed at Lucy, but that's mainly because of Aya Hirano. :<) |

Lastly, as Hibiki said, she was capable of using the Una Metria(sp?) spell, which is supposed to be a really high level celestial mage spell. All those things foreshadow Lucy as being strong. In the light of some other FT mages, she can appear a bit weak, but she's fairly strong already compared to most other mages. Also, smart use of her spirits would make her incredibly strong, so it's partly her not being smart but "lucky" that keeps her back. I kinda dislike this aspect, but am hoping she does get smarter instead of relying on her luck. |
