Maribelle knew all too well that it wasn't their personality that caused them to befriend Lucy so quickly, but Lucy's herself. She had the same sort of loving care and warmth in her personality that her best friend Lissa possessed, a quality she thought she'd never find in another soul. It was the kind of personality that could make the most beloved of queens or the greatest of friends, and Maribelle was all too happy to include her in her crew.

"Ah yes! I do believe I know who you are referring to. The one who was so helplessly smitten with that other guildmate of yours you were looking for, Gray?" Juvia on the other hand was kind of a piece of work. She reminded Maribelle a little bit too much of Tharja's obsession with their tactician, but she was hoping that Juvia was at least slightly more sane. "If you will vouch for her my dear, I certainly have no qualms about having her along. As I recall I even had given her an invite to meet with us today, but I see she did not arrive here with you."
