Plue aka Nikora, "The Canis Minor" (ニコラ Nikora) is a Silver Key Celestial Spirit that has no obvious combat abilities and is stated to usually be kept as a pet for low-powered Mages, but is as powerful as any other character in the game Fairy Tail Gekitotsu! Kardia Daiseidou.[2] Lucy Heartfilia seems to use hers, named Plue, as a pet and a comical character. Nikora keys are shown to have been sold for as little as 20,000 
.[3]

Appearance
Edit
Plue is a short, stout white creature (who is commonly referred to as a dog by Natsu Dragneel) with bland eyes and a golden horn-like nose (reminiscent of a carrot from the side, thus giving him the slight appearance of a snowman). His body is often shaking nervously, though this doesn't always occur.[4] He cannot speak besides saying "puu-puun", although Natsu seems to be able to understand this.[5] He mostly communicates by using gestures and motions which Lucy finds adorable.[4]
PersonalityEdit
Added by IshthakWhen Lucy first contracted Plue, he only agreed to be summoned on Tuesdays until Thursdays.[6] Later, however, Plue is available anytime, often appearing at times other than his initial contracted days.[7] Because he is not designed for combat, he serves as a cute pet for his master instead.[6] Plue enjoys sweets and shares a close friendship with Happy.[8] Their good relationship could be accounted for the fact that they are always together during Team Natsu's missions, as well as their almost similar attitudes. Happy and Plue often tease Lucy and Loke.[9]
SynopsisEdit
Daybreak arcEdit
In order to show Natsu and Happy how contracts with Celestial Spirits are made, Lucy summons Plue for the first time and demonstrates it to the two. However, because of Plue's peculiar appearance, Natsu and Happy saw him as a failure. When Plue "speaks" for the first time, Natsu seems to be able to understand him, whereas Lucy could not. It is also Plue who first suggested to Natsu that he and Lucy form a team.[10]
Lullaby arcEdit
Plue is seen beside Lucy when Mirajane tells her to go along with Natsu, Gray and Erza to be their mediator.[11] Lucy carries Plue while seeing Gray and Natsu arguing.[12] Plue is still being carried while Erza discusses the dark guild Eisenwald and Lullaby on the train.[13] He is seen soaked when Lucy shakes in fear after hearing about Erigor, saying that she wants to go home and wants no part of it. Afterwards, while on the train, Plue is seen eating along with everyone else.[14]
Galuna Island arcEdit
In a battle against Sherry Blendy, a Mage capable of controlling anything that is not human like puppets, Lucy purposely summons Plue, knowing he will be used against her. Once under Sherry's control, "evil" appears on Plue's forehead, his eyes glow, and he runs aggressively towards Lucy. His noncombatant nature, however, prevents him from harming Lucy despite the flurry of kicks and punches he releases at her lower half. Once Sherry releases the control on Plue, he immediately apologizes to his owner, and returns to the Celestial Spirit World.[15][16]
Loke arcEdit
Added by IshthakAfter arguing with Loke, Lucy leaves with Happy and Plue, and the latter seems to recognize Loke. Plue is later summoned along with all of Lucy's Spirits in order to persuade the Celestial Spirit King to let Loke return to the Celestial Spirit World.[17]
Daphne arcEdit

Added by Asasyn32Lizardmen attack Erza and Lucy. Realizing that the Lizardmen only mimics the skills and abilities of their opponents, Lucy summons Plue, changing the Lizardman she is fighting to a similar size. Plue then starts to dance, gradually gaining speed. The Lizardman starts to mimic his moves, but is unable to keep up with Plue, and soon vanishes, defeated.[18]
Tenrou Island arcEdit
Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
After having three of her Celestial Spirits defeated, Lucy decides to summon Plue to fight Kain Hikaru. Immediately after being summoned, Plue starts to dance and his cuteness temporarily entrances Kain. However, Kain recovers and decides to eat him, causing Lucy to scoop him up and run.[19]
X791 arcEdit
Upon returning to the present time, Lucy heads home with Plue, but was not allowed in her apartment by the landlady because of the seven years of rent she owes. Lucy then talks to Plue about her father, whom she finally decided to visit.[20]
Key of the Starry Sky arcEdit
Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
Added by IshthakPlue joins Lucy on her job to protect some gold in the freight cart. Plue watches the others try to help Wendy out of her depression and after an attack by the Jiggle Butt Gang, Plue hides himself behind a crate, but is then spotted and adored by the gang. Plue watches Happy try to wake Natsu up, and is later seen on Natsu, next to Happy, whilst Wendy and Lucy are apologizing to the client for being late.[21]
Plue is summoned moments after Michelle arrives at the guild and sits next to Happy on a table. Plue is then seen at the bar table as Happy and Natsu are are talking about Michelle and agrees with Happy that she is just as noisy as Lucy. Along with the others, he hears the story of how Michelle came to the guild. He is then carried by Michelle as they are heading to Lucy's apartment. Plue is then on the case tapping it, and then has a snack with Michelle. As Michelle later sleeps, Plue pats her head.[22]
Grand Magic Games arcEdit
While training for the Grand Magic Games, Lucy and her friends are brought by Virgo to the Celestial Spirit World, where the Spirits, headed by their King, celebrate their return from Tenrou Island. During the festivities, Plue greets Carla and Happy, together with other dozens of Nikora's behind him, who lift the two into the air. Plue then dances with Happy as Lyra plays her harp.[23]
