== Biography ==
===The Lost Continent Prophecy===
====''[[The Dangerous Gift]]''====
Wren appeared when she and Sky helped rescue [[Daffodil]] from the scavenger enclosure in [[Sanctuary]]. After Snowfall confronted them, she revealed to her that she could speak Dragon, much to the queen's shock. When Snowfall asked if Daffodil could speak their language too, Wren said that she would if she had paid attention and studied more, sounding annoyed by it.

After Snowfall fainted, having another vision, Wren bragged that the dragon was terrified of her and was confused when Snowfall understood her for a moment. After Snowfall mentioned that she wanted to show the humans to the others, Wren declined, thinking that the dragons would just eat them, and said that she just wanted to be left alone, but she was eventually persuaded to follow the queen back.

The group returned to the enclosure where the other dragons were waiting. While she was a little irritated with the amount of dragons present, she nevertheless told every other dragon present that she could speak Dragon, surprising them. After Snowfall told the others about the [[Pantala#The Abyss|abyss]], [[Qibli]] suggested bringing Wren and Sky with them to communicate with the humans in [[Pantala]]. Wren initially refused, saying that Sky was not much of a fighter and expressed concern that he would be taken over by the [[breath of evil]]. Snowfall convinced her to come with them by saying that her and the other queens would pass an edict forbidding dragons from hunting and eating humans in exchange for her help, with Wren adding that keeping humans as pets should be forbidden as well. When [[Winter]] realized that [[Smolder]] has been keeping [[Rose]] as a pet for years, Wren told him not to worry about her since she was happy to be with the prince.

After Snowfall destroyed the gift of order and talked with [[Opal]], [[Lynx]] was mentioned to be flying with  the other [[:Category:Stealth team|representatives]] to Pantala, with Wren among them.

==== ''[[The Flames of Hope]]'' ====
Wren first appears when [[Pineapple]] and Sky search for marine life on the beach near [[Jerboa III]]'s [[Jerboa III's hut|hut]].

A few days after leaving Pyrrhia for Pantala, the Representatives are ambushed by dragons controlled by Wasp on an island, including [[Earwig]]. Wren and Sky hide in the island's forest, as Wren explains in the ambush's aftermath that Sky is terrified of fighting.

Wren is among the group including Luna, [[Cricket]], [[Bullfrog]], and Sky that goes into the abyss and wait for [[Sundew]]'s [[IceWing gifts|gift of stealth]] to wear off. The first human the group encounters in the abyss is [[Axolotl]], who resides in [[Dragonfly Bay village|a nearby village]]. Three days after their arrival on Pantala, Sundew's enchantment wears off, and Axolotl runs in terror at the sight of the dragons. Wren follows Axolotl to the village to assure them that the dragons aren't dangerous, and later meets and convinces [[Ocelot]] to let Axolotl travel with the group.

As Axolotl leads the group to the abyss, they encounter [[Pokeweed]], [[Tau]], and some [[SilkWings]] hiding in the caverns.

=== Legends ===
==== ''[[Dragonslayer]]'' ====
Wren is a human born in Talisman, but when she was seven, she was sacrificed to the dragons because she read a book featuring information about the illegal acts of the dragonmancers. She managed to free herself from the ropes that were supposed to prevent her from escaping and rescued Sky, a mountain dragon, from a bush. She hid him from the dragon who had tried to kill him ([[Kestrel]]). Sky and Wren became friends. Soon, they began teaching each other their respective languages.

While traveling through the mountains, they stumbled upon the cave that the [[dragonets of destiny]] grew up in, spotting the dragonets through what may be the sky hole. By then, Wren and Sky could already communicate in broken sentences. A year and a half later, she tried to get into the Indestructible City and met a boy named [[Undauntable]] and his cat named [[Dragon]].

Eight years later, Wren and Sky traveled to a dragon city (the [[Scorpion Den]]), where Sky was captured by General [[Sandstorm]], and Wren left to find and rescue Sky. During her quest, Wren learned that Sky was being held at [[SandWing stronghold|Burn's stronghold]] and encountered [[Deathbringer]] (mistaking his name to be Murderbasket), who was traveling to the [[Ice Kingdom]] under orders to assassinate [[Glory]], [[Starflight]], and [[Tsunami]]. Wren asked Deathbringer to put his mission on hold to fly her to the [[Kingdom of Sand]] to rescue Sky. He, believing that she is some hallucination, agreed. After Deathbringer dropped Wren off, she snuck into the stronghold where she encountered Rose, another human who was [[Ivy]]'s aunt, who was left behind when [[Stone]] and [[Heath]] killed Queen [[Oasis]].

Rose led Wren to Sky, and with help from Smolder, the duo escaped from the stronghold. Nearby, Wren was reunited with her brother [[Leaf]], who was accompanied by Ivy.

The three then returned to [[Valor]] and Talisman to expose the truths that had been hidden from them as children, using Sky to scare the humans into doing what they wanted them to.

== Relationships ==
=== [[Deathbringer]] ===
When Wren first met Deathbringer, whom she referred to as "Murderbasket," she tried to convince him to take her to the SandWing palace. Deathbringer is also her second 'favorite dragon.'{{Ref|L2|339}}

=== [[Leaf]] ===
Leaf is Wren's brother, and the two were very close until the dragonmancers attempted to sacrifice Wren to the dragons. After that, they did not see each other for roughly seven years. Sometimes, when Wren could not help it, she thought about Leaf, prompting that he was the only person she liked in the whole of Talisman. When she met Leaf again, she was shocked and delighted that her older brother, whom have carved her a snail when they were younger, traveled around the world to find her again.

=== [[Rose]] ===
Wren met Rose in the kitchen of Burn's Stronghold. Rose stated she was overexcited to have a conversation with her since she had not talked to a human in years, especially a person who has the ability to speak Dragon. Rose helped Wren collect mouse poison to kill Sandstorm, while Wren trusted Rose enough to tell her about Sky, and even thinking of her as a friend.

=== [[Sky]] ===
Wren found Sky as a newly hatched dragonet and saved him after Kestrel attempted to drown him. She relates to him through the fact that they were both abandoned by their kind. The two spent most of their life avoiding people and dragons in favor of growing up alone, traveling around Pyrrhia together.

Wren often goes into extreme lengths to ensure Sky's safety, even murdering a grown dragon and diving into the midst of a dragon war to save him. She constantly worries about him throughout the book, caring deeply when he felt insecure about his loss of normal dragon abilities. Sky playfully teases Wren on multiple occasions and calls her his "pet" when other dragons interrogate him.

=== [[Undauntable]] ===
Wren first meets Prince Undauntable when she goes to the Indestructible City. Wren shows no interest in him, thinking he is arrogant, spoiled, and rude. However, Undauntable likes Wren, and each time she comes to the city, Undauntable begs for her to stay. When they are fourteen, he asks her to marry him, but Wren simply turns him down.
