Alexis Heartfilia was born on February 8th to Amie and Joed Heartfilia. She was half dragon half human. She already knew how to use dragon slaying magic. This is because dragons hatch already knowing how to use their magic. But, Alexis was only half dragon so she needed her mother's help to keep it under control. Her mother could help her because she was the legendary Earth Dragon. Her father was just an ordinary she was born she had four older brothers at the ages of 4, 9, 12, and 15. Joed was the younger brother of Jude Heartfilia. Ever since she was able to walk Alexis was ridiculed for having dragon-like features such as wings, horns, claws, and a tail. But, one little boy didn't care what people said. his name was Gray Fullbuster. They were best friends. you could say they were attached at the hip. Until one day while off in the town of Almaden on a family trip to the Heartfilia Ice Company the town was suddenly attacked by the demon Deliora. Her family ran for the cellar in their spare mansion, But, they were too late when suddenly Deliora crushed the mansion and every last person in it exept for Alexis, her father, and her youngest older brother, Armon. She a mere 3 year old and Armon 7 years old. With the rest of their family now dead, they had but one choice, to make their way home. In the incident the Heartfilia Ice Company was destroyed leaving them broke and grieving.

Several years later when Alexis was 7 years old she and Armon were kidnapped for ransom. but, they were still very poor and the only way Joed could save was by confronting the kidnappers himself. Joed was crushed when he saw his children lying on the floor unconscious with scars covering every inch of their naked bodies. Scars that could only be caused by a whip. The children awoke to see their father on the floor dead with the 3 kidnappers surrounding him.

"No!" Armon said wide-eyed with shock

"FATHER!" Alexis screamed running towards him only to be stopped by Armon

The 3 kidnappers then turned to face the horrified children.

"Run!" Armon shouted at Alexis as he gave her a concerned look

"NO! i won't leave you! We're the only ones left!" Alexis cried into his chest

"You have to run! One of us has to get to Uncle Judes! Now, run, as fast as you possibly can! Fly even! Just go!" he said pushing her away

She runs out the open door and got about 10 feet away when she heard Armon scream. She looks back and sees that she is being chased by 2 of the kidnappers when she reveals her wings and flies off tears streaming down her face.

As Alexis wanders past a cave her superior sense of smell picks something up.

"Huh? I feel like I know this smell...but, it's a little different." she says sniffing the air

"Who goes there?!"belowed who ever was inside

"I am Alexis Heartfilia dra-"

"Alexis Heartfilia, huh? Your mother was Amie the Earth Dragon wasn't she?" asked the mysterious bieng

"How do you know my mother's true identity unless..." she paused with a shocked expression on her face"You're a dragon! That's why you smell so familiar!"

"Ah,yes, you are right young one."he said while exiting the cave with a young boy about a year younger

"WOW! You were raised by a dragon like me?"the young boy asked curiously

"Actually I'm half dragon"she pauses to show him her wings, tail, horns, and claws"See."

"WOW! That's amazing!"he puased remembering he said his name"Oh by the way my names Natsu Dragneel"

"And I'm Igneel the Fire Dragon."

"You're the 6th dragon I've come across in the past 2 and a half all taught me their dragon slaying magic" she says with pride

"Oh,ok. First, was Grandeena the Sky Dragon. Second, was Thunder the Lightning Dragon. Third, was Aquamarine the Water Dragon. Fourth, was Metalicana the Iron Dragon. And fifth, was Cobalt the Poison Dragon."
