Gray and Juvia could also work well. Gray has his cold exterior at times, which could be like the beast's initial standoffishness. Juvia, with her unwavering love for Gray, is like the beauty who sees beyond the surface. In a fanfiction, they could be put in a situation where Gray is cursed and Juvia has to save him, strengthening their relationship even more.
Natsu and Lucy would be a great pairing. Natsu's fiery and sometimes wild nature could be seen as 'beast - like' in a sense. Lucy, with her kind heart and intelligence, could be the 'beauty'. Their relationship in the original Fairy Tail already has a strong bond that could be developed further in a Beauty and the Beast - inspired story.
Erza and Jellal might be an interesting pairing for this. Jellal has a dark past which could be symbolized as his 'beast' side. Erza, with her strong and just nature, is like the beauty. In a Beauty and the Beast - type scenario, Erza could be the one to help Jellal fully come to terms with his past and break free from any metaphorical curses that hold him back.
Gray and Sango might make for an exciting pair. Gray with his ice - make magic and Sango with her weaponry skills. Gray could create ice weapons and structures to assist Sango in battle, and Sango could show Gray some of the more traditional combat techniques. Their personalities are also quite different, with Gray being more laid - back (most of the time) and Sango being very determined and focused on her goals.
Goku from Dragon Ball Z could be a great crossover character for Natsu. They are both very strong and have a love for fighting. Goku's ki - based attacks and Natsu's fire magic would make for some epic battles. They could also train together and learn from each other's fighting styles. Also, Alucard from Hellsing could be an interesting crossover. His vampiric powers against Natsu's magic would create a very dark and intense story.
Ryoko and Erza would make an exciting pair. Ryoko is wild and unpredictable with her powers, while Erza is a disciplined and powerful mage. They could start off as rivals, with Ryoko's chaotic nature clashing with Erza's order. But then they could learn to respect each other's strengths and team up. Ryoko could learn discipline from Erza, and Erza could learn to be more spontaneous from Ryoko.
Well, Erza is a very strong character in Fairy Tail. She has a vast array of armors and combat skills. However, in a crossover, Sasuke could be a real contender for the most powerful. His Sharingan gives him amazing abilities like predicting moves and copying techniques. And his Rinnegan in later arcs makes him even more formidable. But then again, characters like Gildarts from Fairy Tail are also extremely powerful with their unique magic. So it really depends on how the crossover is written and what abilities are emphasized.
One common theme is transformation. Just like in the original Beauty and the Beast story, characters often go through some sort of transformation, whether it's physical or emotional. In the context of Fairy Tail, this could be related to magic. Another theme is the power of love. Love is often shown as the force that can break curses or change people for the better. For example, a character who is initially seen as a 'beast' may become a better person because of the love of another.
Well, a great plot might be that a new character enters the Fairy Tail world who is already under a Beauty and the Beast - like curse. The Fairy Tail members don't initially trust this beast - like person but as time goes on, they discover his good heart. Maybe he has some special power that could help the guild in a future battle, and in the process of working together, the curse is broken.
Interesting crossovers. Pairing Erza with characters from other universes that have different powers and personalities can create amazing storylines. For instance, if she's crossed with a character from a high - tech sci - fi world, the contrast in their worlds and abilities can lead to a very engaging plot.
A pairing between Ben and Lucy could also be fascinating. Lucy is a Celestial Spirit Mage, and she has a more strategic approach compared to some of the other Fairy Tail members. Ben could protect Lucy while she summons her spirits, and in return, Lucy could use her magic to help Ben when he's in a tough spot in his alien forms. Their different powers and personalities would create a lot of interesting interactions in the fanfic.
But we also can't forget about Ichigo in his final form. He has the power of a Soul King and his combat skills are top - notch. If he were to enter the Fairy Tail world with all his power, he would be able to take on most threats with ease. It really depends on how the crossover is written and what kind of challenges are presented to each character.
The main characters could also be Sasuke from Naruto and Gray from Fairy Tail. Sasuke's cool and brooding nature combined with his Sharingan abilities would be a draw. Gray's ice - make magic and his habit of accidentally stripping could add some humor. In the harem, characters like Ino from Naruto and Levy from Fairy Tail could be part of it. Ino's mind - control jutsu and Levy's intelligence with books and runes would bring different elements to the story.
