'''Umber''' is a small, brown, male [[MudWings|MudWing]] [[Dragonets|dragonet]] with pale amber eyes{{Ref|TDP|280}} and a burnt patch on his nose. He is one of the six siblings of [[Clay]], as well as the last-hatched dragonet of [[Cattail]] and a former student at the [[Jade Mountain Academy]]. He is a member of the [[Jade Winglet]] and was clawmates with [[Turtle]]. He is mentioned in the prologue of ''[[The Dark Secret]]'' and said to be the smallest and most observant of the siblings, as he notices a [[Scavenger Dens|scavenger den]] deep in the woods during a frantic chase during which the siblings escaped some [[IceWings]].

==Personality==
Umber is a caring and loyal dragon, very kind to those he loves, and is also extremely observant. Noticeable examples of his quick observations include noticing the scent of scavenger dens, even in the middle of a desperate and frantic escape, remembering [[Carnelian]] from a past battle, and being the first to recognize Clay. Umber is the one who goes on the run with [[Sora]], caring about her so much. He has, understandably, also had an ongoing relief since the end of the war, according to [[Moonwatcher|Moon]]. He thinks very highly of his siblings, saying that Sora was the smartest dragon he knew and [[Marsh]] was the quickest. He is similar to Clay in the fact that he keeps his family together.

==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
Umber's egg was laid by Cattail as a part of a clutch including Clay's who's egg was later sold to the Talons of Peace for two cows. [[Reed]], Sora, [[Pheasant]], [[Crane]] and Marsh are his other siblings. Umber's egg was the last one to hatch, and he was presumably helped out of his egg by Reed, his "[[Bigwings]]", while in reality, their lost sibling, Clay, was their actual eldest brother. As a result of [[Queen Moorhen]]'s alliance with [[Princess Burn|Burn]], Umber and his siblings were forced to fight in the [[War of The SandWing Succession]], resulting in the death of his sister Crane in battle roughly six years after being hatched.

===''[[The Dragonet Prophecy]]''===
[[File:ClaySibs.png|thumb|Clay meeting his siblings]]
Two days after the death of Crane, Umber encountered his elder brother Clay for the first time when he returned to the [[Mud Kingdom]] in an attempt to find his family. Umber was the first one to notice Clay near the mud pools and to have a feeling that he was part of their family and told his siblings. The others soon found Clay, and were overjoyed to see him. They helped Clay make peace with himself and, despite protests, let [[Clay]] go with the other [[Dragonets of Destiny]].

===''[[The Dark Secret]]''===
In the prologue, Umber and his siblings were fighting off attacking IceWings. Clay's siblings all appear to hate the war, and therefore debated joining the [[Talons of Peace]], though they decided against it in the end. Umber disliked the war and was the most timid of them all.

===''[[The Brightest Night]]''===
He and his siblings are seen when [[Princess Sunny|Sunny]] and Clay go to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. Umber hugs Clay when the group realizes his presence. He is reluctant to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings. In the epilogue, Clay says that he would love to have Umber and his siblings be students at the [[Jade Mountain]] school, and also added that Umber's history and reading weren't so good.

===''[[Moon Rising]]''===
Umber, along with his siblings Sora and Marsh, was one of the first students to attend the new and prestigious Jade Mountain Academy, and he is placed in the Jade Winglet. When he meets the other members of the Jade Winglet, Moon overhears that he thinks [[Qibli]] is "gorgeous", and also that he and [[Kinkajou]] secretly wish that Qibli and Winter respectively, were their destinies. He states that Carnelian seems familiar, perhaps from a previous battle in which the two (as their tribes were allies) may have fought together. After learning that his sister Sora had attempted to kill [[Icicle]] using [[Dragonflame Cactus|Dragonflame Cacti]], resulting in the deaths of Carnelian and [[Bigtail]], and that she also rigged a stalactite to fall on Icicle, Umber decides to leave the Academy alongside his sister in order to keep her safe (both from others and for others).

== Relationships ==
=== [[Clay]] ===
Along with his other siblings, he loves Clay. He was the first of his siblings to recognize Clay when he returned to the Mud Kingdom in search of his family.

===[[Sora]]===
Umber felt confused and betrayed when he found out that Sora tried to kill Icicle. When Sora escaped the school, Umber followed her to protect her and to protect everyone else from her.
===[[Turtle]] ===
Umber and Turtle shared a sleeping cave with each other before Umber ran away with Sora. They pulled their reed mats together and slept with their backs against the other. This was because both of them felt a need to have siblings close to them. In ToP, Turtle stated that he viewed Umber as a brother, but it is unknown if Umber feels the same.

=== [[Qibli]] ===
Umber seems to have romantic feelings towards Qibli based on a couple of thoughts overheard by [[Moonwatcher]] in <nowiki>''</nowiki>[[Moon Rising]],<nowiki>''</nowiki> and it has been confirmed that Umber is gay.

== Quotes ==
''"I hate this war, I don't understand what we're even fighting for. Who cares who the [[SandWings|SandWing]] [[Dragon Queens|Queen]] is? I've never met Burn and I don't want to. Why am I fighting an IceWing over a throne that has nothing to do with either of us?"'' - to his siblings in the prologue of ''The Dark Secret''.

''"Can't you smell it? We flew over part of it, too---it's pretty well hidden in the forest."'' - about a scavenger den in the prologue of ''The Dark Secret''.

''"I hope we don't have to. I hope Clay fulfills the prophecy and ends the war quick and saves the world really soon, before we have to do anymore fighting. Do you think? Maybe he will?"'' - to his siblings

''"When do we eat? Just kidding. Pretending to be Clay."'' - to the rest of the Jade Winglet and Tsunami in ''Moon Rising'', seemingly trying to impress Qibli.

''"This is my brother and sister. Marsh is really fast...you should see him fly. And Sora knows everything; she's the only the one who ever practiced reading."'' - to Moon and Kinkajou in ''Moon Rising''.

''"I'm going to get help."'' - When the dragonflame cactus explodes.

''"Sora, it's okay. I love you anyway."'' - to Sora after finding out that she tried to kill Icicle.
