She was supposedly perfect.
No one thought it was strange that she only gave them her first name.
She was still perfect without it after all.
She was the girl who would do anything-even if it meant dying-to save her friends.
She was supposed to wipe away the tears of her friends whenever their tragic pasts surfaced.
Nobody thought she'd have her own baggage to deal with.
Heartfilia.
A name that bore so much sadness for her.
Layla Heartfilia: her deceased mother who would never see her precious little girl grow up to be a widely known Fairy Tail wizard. She would never see the inner strength that the poor girl has no choice but to hold on to, because if she let it go she would slowly crumble down until she was just a painful memory to those who knew her.
Jude Heartfilia: the father who had said the words 'I love you' way too late. All it took was seven years of her being gone without a trace to give him the right words, but by the time she would hear them he would be gone for good. Ripped away from her during the empty seven-year span she was frozen in time.
Erza had Jellal and the Tower of Heaven.
Natsu had Igneel and Lisanna.
Gray had Ul and Deliora.
Lucy had that cursed name.
So that's why she's Lucy of Fairy Tail.
Never Heartfilia.
