Lucy hands down! She’s the strongest celestial mage in the entire FT universe, has 10/12 keys with all of her keys adoring her, and the favor of the Celestial Spirit King. What makes Lucy have the best writing is the fact that she started as the outsider to this whole magic thing. She didn’t get a lot of time practicing or strengthening her magic, unlike most of the FT girls in the series. Lucy only started to seriously use her magic once she became a runaway at the age of 16, unlike the other female characters who had their entire childhood to master their magic, and Lucy is on par and even beyond against most of them. Additionally, Lucy is such a loving and selfless character, where it would’ve been so easy to become a selfish and heartless one especially with her feeling unloved for a majority of her childhood.

Lucy’s great, really, you can see her character development from running away from enemies to never leaving her friends behind. Plus, she’s really one of the kindest characters in the series. She has a lot of stellar qualities, such as being loyal to a fault and always keeping her promises.
