Today's search term is "boat".

I just discovered something useful about Gelbooru: you can include a dash just before a search term and it means "exclude this". From now on, my searches will include the following -1boy -multiple_boys -male_focus -penis -testicles -vore -rape -loli and it's going to be a lot less painful to do these posts. It isn't perfect because some pictures don't get exhaustively tagged, but it'll be a hell of a lot better than it was.

Anyway, on with the boats!

This one is from Fairy Tail. Her name is Brandish and she's part of the enemy team they're fighting in the current story arc. I have a suspicion that when this is all over she's going to join Fairy Tail, the way Gajeel and Juvia did after Phantom Lord was defeated. It would help if she'd smile once in a while, but right now she hasn't got a lot to smile about.

The story on her is her mother was one of Layla Heartfilia's servants. When Layla retired from active campaigning, she gave her three gold keys to people she knew, under the condition that they give those keys to Lucy when she grew up. Brandish's mother got the Aquarius key.

There was a plan laid 400 years ago to deal with Acnologia. Five dragons adopted five orphan children: Sting, Rogue, Gajeel, Wendy, and Natsu; and raised them to be dragon-slayers. When they were ready, Anna Heartfilia (possibly the greatest Celestial Summoner of all time) opened an eclipse gate into the future. Eclipse gates require a Celestial mage at both ends, and require all 12 gold keys.

At the future end, Layla made contact with all the Celestial Mages who owned gold keys, including two of her servants, and they were able to gather 11 of them. The problem was that Brandish's mother was away on a trip and they couldn't reach her. So Layla used her life energy to make up the difference, and on July 7, year 777, the five kids showed up. No one told them what was going on. So Layla lay on her death bed when Brandish's mother showed up, apologizing profusely. And it was the guy who later abused the Capricorn key who murdered Brandish's mother in revenge.

But ever since, Brandish thought it was Layla who did it, and held a grudge against Lucy because of it. And she tried to kill Lucy in revenge, but it didn't work out that way.

This was all described in chapters 467 and 468.
