4 Everyone Has Their Own Strengths & Weaknesses

Not everyone in Fairy Tail is an S-Class wizard or a complete powerhouse. However, in the same vein, not every Fairy Tail wizard has the complete magical know-how either. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and that's okay. Just like how Natsu has the brawns and firepower, Lucy can pick up on the details that he misses.

No one is completely infallible, that is why they rely on their friends and their skills, to compensate for what they lack. Fans should know that it's okay to acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses and that it is perfectly fine if they are not perfect.

3 Being Kind Is Not A Weakness
