Wendy avoided being trapped on tenrou due to Mest. He had a gut feeling and took her before Acnologia showed up, arguing that she's just a kid and couldn't have been left behind.
She lived with the guilt of running for seven years.
So for ages I’ve always wondered whether magic can be inherited or not. So like if your parents are powerful wizards chances are you’ll be one too. So the main reason I've always thought this is due to the fact that whenever you see a powerful character and are then introduced to a family members of theirs, that family member is as powerful or more so.
And I have examples. But I am gonna put a read more cause this is gonna get looooooong.
There's also gonna be spoilers beyond this point if you haven't watched the anime or read the manga.
So first off Laxus is a powerful wizard, he's an s-class wizard at a young age. While you could always say that that is due to his lacrima, I've always believed him to have the potential for powerful magic but because he was born sickly he could never fully achieve it. But then you look at his family and both his dad and grandfather are both powerful wizards. I mean Makarov is a wizard saint, not many get more powerful than that. Even looking back further, while we don't see the full extent of Yuri's magic in action he does appear to be somewhat powerful from the get go.
Then we move onto Cana. Guildarts is considered the most powerful member of Fairytail, the top ranked S-class mage who was even allowed to try a 100 years quest. Cana has shown multiple times how powerful she is, she's the only person in the guild whos been able to wield fairy glitter.
Then we have Erza, now from the very beginning Erza is shown to be an absolute powerhouse, from meeting her it would be easy to assume that she gained her power through grit and determination. However, we are then introduced to one Irene Belserion. Now Irene is cast as a pretty badass person from the start so you can definitely see where Erza gets parts of her personality from. Magically speaking Irene is said to be one of the top members of the spriggan twelve. Now when we first meet a member of the spriggan twelve we meet Brandish who is most likely one of the less powerful ones, but still her magic is described as overwhelming, so Irene's magic must be even more so.
Now Lucy is an interesting case, while Layla did in fact open (and likely closed) the eclipse gate on her own when it required both Lucy and Yukino to do so later, she (if I remember correctly) also had a pre-existing condition which made her magic less powerful? That being said it's shown that she was already a remarkable wizard and even held the respect of Aquarius who seems to have taken her death very hard. Going further back though we also have Anna Heartfilia, Lucy's ancestor. She's described as being one of the most powerful celestial spirit mage of all time.
Now finally while we don't ever learn about their parents or see if either was canonically powerful. I feel it's safe to assume that at least one of their parents was quite powerful. Natsu and Zeref are revealed to be canonically siblings. Now before we get this reveal you would assume that Zeref is only that powerful because of how long he's been alive for and has accumulated that power over the centuries. But we can then assume that he was already pretty powerful at a young age, I imagine had things worked out he would've used the eclipse gate himself instead of teaming up with Anna. We also see that Natsu is already one of Fairytail's powerhouses (honestly why he's not S-class yet is something I'll never understand). So I can imagine that the both of them had the potential for being powerful wizards long before either of them cast their first spell.
Whew. okay I'm done, I'm sorry this got so long, it's been bugging me for so long. I do want to stress that this may not be 100% accurate but this is just my own interpretation and headcanon.
But yeh let me know what you think and if you want to add anything else to this go ahead, I'm always interested to hear what others have to say.
I haven’t thought it out throughly yet, but here’s Minerva.
Inspired by “One Piece,” and “Dead Rock” Ish.
Basically, The God of Life and Death was the only thing that lived throughout the entirety of time. Throughout every period he would gather 12 guards/subordinates that represented different races and territories.
There’s was different ways this was picked, for Dragons it was the ruler of Dragons who’d become the next subordinate. They usually roamed near the eastern region which would one day become “The Kingdom of Dragnof.”
Demons lived among humans in the neighboring kingdom, and instead of the next king of demons ruling. The rulers would pass down “Gods favorite angel” E.N.D.
(I’m not sure about the other 10 but i imagine it’d be revealed within the story or else this would just be Oc insert)
The point is I changed the magic system and made it rooted in lore. I’m not gonna explain too much but changes to remember are-
-Erza has Belserion sealed inside, and her father is acnologia. Which technically makes her Queen of Dragons.
-Wendy is also the child or Irene and Anologia. Making her their second child.
-Not a change, but yeah Natsu still END.
-The god of Life and Death died 400 years ago during the war with Irene and the dragon kingdom. (Well he’s just not alive atm)
————
-The magic system has three different types of magic users. Those who have genetic mutations (Inherited Magic) ,
Those who are taught a “maker magic” (A type of magic that cover regular magic energy into a specific type of magic while casting) Anyone can learn.
Or “Holder Magic” Those who use magic Items that already have lacrimas that create their own magic. Anyone can get.
———
Minerva’s name is associated with the Roman godess of wisdom, who’s commonly associated with owls, not as commonly with snakes. I was think about Erza and Minerva fighting together what would take Fairy Tails Magic system to One piece level. And ofcourse that would be an “awakening” of some sorts. So I took the Idea of snakes and ran with it.
Guildarts was in an entirely different league than the entire main cast at the beginning of FairyTail. But why if (by fairy tails magic system) anyone can learn the same magic. So I’m my scenario Guildarts has a genetic magic, Cana learned the holders magic from a young age since she never knew she could have Guildarts magic. Her awakening would be Guildarts magic since you can’t awaken and holders magic. Another example is Mira using satan soul and transformation magic which would mean that you can learn more than one type of magic in Fairy Tail which doesn’t make sense cause what’s stopping everyone from being zeref?
With Minerva I thought what if her history had anything to do with snakes. I decided her ancestors (on her moms side) would be snake charmers, much like the dragon charmers that existed before Irene became dragon queen. Though they used to play flutes to charm dragons it was actually just a ritual of swine sort and the instruments weren’t needed. This was lost when Minerva’s mom passed away while she was too young to learn.
Durring the battle with Erza I imagine somehow she’s presented with the opportunity to meet a Dragon Snake (idk a name yet). It sounded far fetched until I found out about the Dragon snake Xenodermus Javanicus. A nonvonmous serpent that assists Erza and Minerva in battle due to being under both of their titles.
(Basically character building for storyline)
In reality these snakes usually pass away in captivity, are small and only live for a few years.
I’d imagine this snake would be around 400+ years old, and survived the “war” 400 years prior along side some other creatures and dragon variants like the water dragons (that remained secluded under water). Because Dragon snakes don’t have as long of a life span as water dragons, the the serpents dwindled down to a few, while water dragons are still plenty in numbers.
Minerva can’t preserve the serpent in her pocket dimension. (Which is good for throwing enemies in every once in a while). Ofcourse the serpent can fly, that why it was recognized as a dragon in the fairy tail world. Because the snake has dragon ancestors it would’ve been recognized as one because the addition of flight that other snakes didn’t have. (Debatable weather or not Erik’s snake Cubellios is one aswell).
Storyline wise, what connection the Dragon Snakes has with Minerva or her ancestors, why Minerva’s mom was the last one with the magic, and all is really up to a story to tell. I don’t want this to sound fanfic-Ish but more the and actual au that takes a different turn in story. It would also explain why Minerva dad was really trying to exploit her, thought there’s no excuse for dv, and dv can start without cause or reason. Just an anime explanation type of thing.
I also have Ideas for Jellals “Tattoo/birthmark”, the Tower of Heaven, Sho’s “Tattoo”. Kagura and Ikaguras swords. And more. Even some Ideas about old Fairy Tail, and characters from before the 400 year skip. Like Anna and Acnologia.
So I have had such a stressful week at work but now a massive amount of assessments have been finished so it's time to kick back with some more pride headcanons.
As always if you haven't seen the character you want to see yet and want to know my headcanon for them (or any headcanons really) feel free to drop me a message.

Any way lets get into it...
Lucy
After running away from home and finally escaping her stifling homelife Lucy went a bit wild when it came to dating once she finally came to the realisation that she could do whatever she wanted without reprimand. While none of her relationships ever got physical Lucy certainly experimented with her sexuality. once she had settled into the guild and met many others who shared their life experiences with her she finally learned the term bisexual and found it fit just right.
Juvia
Juvia always though that she was ace, her unwillingness to 'put out' often got her labelled as a prude by her exes whereas in truth she just never thought about having sex. It never really crossed her mind nor did she ever really experience this so called attraction that people so often hung over her. So when she met Gray and experienced a physical attraction for the first time she had a moment of crisis. It wasn't until much later that someone found out at sat her down and explained that some ace people do still experience attraction on very rare occasions. This did not help her obsession with Gray, if anything it made it worse as now Juvia became convinced that he was 'the one'.
Laxus
The best part about having three very close friends is the chance to experiment. It's no secret that the Thunder Legion shares an apartment together, however, in their youth they shared much more than just an apartment. Laxus is quite proud to admit that he's pansexual and much prefers and open polygamous relationship than an exclusive one. Once he returned to the guild he became widely known for being one of the biggest flirts in the guild.
Guildarts
Most people know of Guildarts many conquests and he'd happily brag about them to anyone who listen. The thing is most of the people in the guild have only ever asked about the women he's slept with, so when someone jokingly asked if he'd slept with any guys they weren't prepared for a list just as long with as many details to boot. While Guildarts never really put a label to himself depsite being asked about his sexuality any times, it became quite obvious after that conversation that Guildarts would sleep with just about anything with a pulse if he found it attractive (and his criteria for attractiveness was apparently as broad as the sea was vast).
