Erza still is one of the strongest. You will notice that the first few fights you see with a character when they are introduced show them at their best. Which sucks when bad guys are introduced because they womp everyone else. However, then you are shown other aspects of them: pasts, fears, weaknesses, loves....
Gray's love for Ur in believing her to be alive in the ice and then later on in the melted ice has some basis. Though she isn't really alive, her memories very much are and will come to play a part later with another person that in a part of Ur's life.
Completely agree with Loke. He is a really cool character. I wish there had been a way for Karen to reform instead of dying, yet it does show a side of humanity that exists where people think they are above other life forms for one reason or another: race, religion, etc. This show, for all it's epicness and comedy, is full of moral lessons and tidbits to remember. My favorite theme is that your friends become your family and they will strengthen you just as you must live your best for them.
Lucy is very much that preppy girl in high school that many people automatically hate. I love how this show developed her into a caring person while keeping her personality. You can watch her grow stronger while seeing through her eyes the lessons on what friends are there for and what you can do for them too. Initially she did irritate me a little, but I have come to find her to be the rational one when everyone else loses their cool within the guild itself.
One person to keep an eye on is Cana. She is the one with brown hair and drinks a lot. At this point, she is my favorite character simply because in her life, she keeps trying. Sometimes we all get down and threatened to give up our goals, but despite this attitude the only way forward really is to keep trying. Her story is extremely similar to my own and so maybe that is why I like her so much.
