I probably would have kept her in Edolas..... wait, no- that technically leaves her dead, my bad. Hold up, let me think on this real good. Hmmm-
Well, first off, I think I would have made it where she didn’t just feel “forgotten” directly after coming back. Sure, you have the Tenro Arc After where she helps out Juvia, but after that? You don’t really see her do much at all. You just see everyone else! And I think that’s sad. She was just pushed off to a corner somewhere unless the Straus Siblings were present.So maybe if she’d joined in on a few missions, just for fun you know? Like she needed to get herself used to using her magic again, joins Team Natsu on a Few jobs. Even if she’s not a permanent fixture in team natsu, there have been many times where they’d shown themselves on jobs with other people before. I think it would be possible for some of them. Even if it were filler episodes. (And not just a filler arc that shows Lisanna getting her ass beat and then nothing else, like in the Key of The Starry Skies Arc.)She wouldn’t have to be some, uber strong character - not saying she’s NOT uber strong cause Take Over Magic is nothing to sniff at, but I’m meaning a main focus. There’s so many characters to focus on, you’d lose point of the plot if you made too many a main focus, but I feel she did deserve more badass moments in battle and what not. As well as being able to see more take overs then what we got to see!Or, we could go with an old fic i wrote years and years ago (And plan to not post online ever) - just not have had her “Die” at all? Just get injured during the Mission with Mirajane and Elfman, but continued living at the Guild? Imagine all the things that could have happened if she was still around during all that? I mean, it could end up good or bad depending on how you work it.
