'''Reed''' is a large, brown, male [[MudWings|MudWing]] with warm, golden-amber eyes{{Ref|TDP|289}}. He is one of [[Clay|Clay's]] younger brothers, slightly smaller than Clay himself, but not by much. Reed is the second-eldest of [[Cattail]]'s seven [[dragonets]] and is considered to be the bigwings of the group since Clay wasn't around. After his first battle, he claimed he "wasn't the [[bigwings]] he wanted to be" and seemingly tried very hard to protect his brothers and sisters, but had become uncertain of himself after learning Clay was alive and well, and that he was supposed to be their bigwings. He often wondered what Clay would do in some situations, and whether Clay would have handled them better. He has often wondered if Clay should have been the bigwings instead of him.

Reed hatched along with [[Sora]], [[Pheasant]], [[Umber]], [[Crane]], and [[Marsh]]. Clay had been sold to the [[Talons of Peace]] earlier in exchange for two or more cows, which left Reed to take over as the bigwings of the group. Over time, the remaining siblings grew to respect him, thinking him to be the true bigwings, though Reed doubts himself sometimes.

When Clay returned, Reed and the other siblings began to tell him about the MudWing traditions and helped him make peace with himself.

They all wanted Clay to stay and even Reed offered Clay his job of becoming their bigwings, but Clay declined the offer, as he knew that Reed would be a better bigwings than he would as Reed's siblings trusted and knew him more. Therefore he left with Glory after their short meeting. Reed was described as looking shocked and relieved at the same time. Reluctantly, Reed and his siblings let Clay go.
