Sting Eucliffe

"Are you going to just abandon your comrades? You really are scum." - Sting

Sting Eucliffe (スティング・ユークリフ Sutingu Yūkurifu) is the current leader of Sabertooth, the former strongest Guild in Fiore, and a member of its team, the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth.

Personality
king that it is natural for a Dragon Slayer to kill a Dragon. As such, Sting thinks that Dragon Slayers who are defeated by a Dragon are nothing but a disgrace.undefinedAlso, as a Dragon Slayer, Sting stereotypically, yet comically, suffers from motion sickness, describing the phenomenon as one befitting of a "real" Dragon Slayer.

Sting enjoys watching fights, as he was excited to see Orga and War Cry fight. However, he was disappointed that Orga finished the fight rather quickly. He also desires to fight strong opponents, as after Natsu left after fighting his master, Sting showed a very excited face at Natsu's strength, gaining an even stronger desire to fight him.

He seems to be quite arrogant as well, as he often boasts about his superiority as a Dragon Slayer. Also, after Yukino was banished from their guild for her failure, he was not the least bit troubled, instead stating that as the strongest guild, they had no need for weaklings. His only reaction was that a Young Mage would replace Yukino, and that Sabertooth's five strongest Mages would be reassembled for the Grand Magic Games. He also has a sadistic side, going as far as to laugh at Lucy's suffering and over Minerva's cruel treatment towards her. However, he cares a lot for his Exceed companion, Lector; this is demonstrated when he enters Dragon Force mode during his fight with Natsu stating that he will win for Lector's sake. And again when he attacks Jiemma in a grief induced rage for "killing" Lector. Upon reuniting with Lector, he cried tears of joy.

After Lector's capture by Minerva, Sting's personality has changed considerably, preferring to be more serious and solemn. This is exemplified by his attack on Bacchus: Rather than attacking Bacchus with his usual gusto, Sting attacked him quickly and quietly, completely devoid of emotion.

History
Sting was raised by a dragon, Weisslogia who taught him White Dragon Slayer Magic. He eventually used this Magic to kill Weisslogia, in order to become a "real" Dragon slayer. This was later revealed to be a half-truth, as Weisslogia willingly let Sting kill him, in order to raise his strength. His Exceed partner, Lector, once bragged to people that Sting killed his own parent, but was bullied for it, causing him to cry. Not wanting him to cry anymore, Sting promised Lector that he would challenge a man known as the Salamander, whom he was a fan of at the time,and defeat him; that way, Lector's words would not be taken as lies.
