1. Pilot
Lucy Heartfilia was the daughter of Jude and Layla, the princess of Fiore, but she wasn't like a normal princess. She preferred to wear pants and a regular shirt than one of the fancy dresses they made her dress up in. When Lucy was younger, around five or six years old, nobody minded that she wore these things. It was when she turned eight that it really mattered to her father. He would get mad at her every time he saw her in a pair of trousers and make her change into one of the many uncomfortable dresses she owned. He would always be telling her that a lady like herself wore fine dresses and had to look nice at all times. That didn't stop Lucy from going outside and getting these dresses dirty. She didn't get scared by the spiders in her room or the bugs in the garden. She preferred to be outside then crammed up in the castle learning about politics.
She hated not being able to leave the castle grounds. Being the only heir to the throne she was kept on the castle grounds not being able to go and visit the city, Crocus, where the castle was located. The only time she was let out was when she was to attend the Grand Magic Games with her parents. Other than those five days in which the games progressed on she was on the castle grounds, being guarded around the clock.
Though she hated most things about her life there was one thing she loved above all, and that was reading. Lucy loved to read. Whenever the weather was dreary you could always find her in the giant library curled up on one of the many sofas with a good book. She read all the time. It was an escape from her overly restricted life.
The topic of magic always peeked her interest most out of all the book topics in the castle. Sure, she liked a good love story here and there but it was nothing compared to her interest in magic. Watching the Grand Magic Games was her favorite part of the year. All the uses of the magic spiked her interest even greater. She never did learn, though, it was unnecessary if she had guards to protect her.
But they were wrong.
Everything changed the day Lucy turned seventeen.
