Gajeel Redfox

Personality Gajeel is rough, blunt, and intimidating on the surface, often coming off as aggressive or cruel. Early on he enjoys intimidation and fighting, but beneath that iron shell he’s deeply loyal and protective of those he considers family. He struggles to express emotions, showing care through actions rather than words. Gajeel is stubborn, proud, and competitive, yet surprisingly thoughtful and self-aware as the series progresses. He values honor, detests betrayal, and carries guilt for his past actions, driving his desire for redemption. Dry humor and sarcasm are common, though often unintentionally funny.
