'''Reed''' is a large, male [[MudWings|MudWing]] with brown scales and warm, golden-amber eyes{{Ref|TDP|289}}. He is one of [[Clay]]'s younger brothers, slightly smaller than Clay himself. Reed is the second-eldest of [[Cattail]]'s seven [[dragonets]] and is considered to be the [[bigwings]] of the group since Clay was taken away from his family. After his first battle, he claimed he "wasn't the bigwings he wanted to be" and tried hard to protect his brothers and sisters, though they protested and told him that they would all be dead if it wasn’t for him. When he learned that Clay was alive and well, he grew uncertain of himself, believing that Clay would have done a better job. He often wondered what Clay would do in some situations, and whether Clay would have handled them better and saved Crane. He has also often wondered if Clay should have been the bigwings instead of him, and seems sad about that. His low self-esteem is likely caused by this.


==Appearance==
|status    = Alive (as of ''[[Moon Rising (book)|Moon Rising]]'')
Reed has chocolate scales shading over another layer of woody acacia scales. His washed out golden underbelly and wings is like his tortilla glinted eyes. He is quite large due to him being the second biggest of his siblings and is strong and heavy-set, a claw mark displayed on the side of his tail is likely from the war.

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

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.

"Before the war takes anyone else I care about. Before our village is destroyed; before I have to choose between loyalty to my tribe and the safety of my brothers and sisters. Before we have to kill anyone else."
— Reed's thoughts, The Dark Secret

Reed is an adult male MudWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy. During the War of SandWing Succession, he served as the bigwings of his troop and a soldier under Burn. He currently resides in the Mud Kingdom with his sister Pheasant, working for Queen Moorhen.

Description

Reed has warm, golden-amber eyes and a claw-mark wound on his tail.[1] He looks like Clay[2] and is a bit smaller than him, but larger than their other siblings.[1]

Personality

Reed appears to have low self-esteem after failing to protect his sister Crane during the war. After his first battle, he claimed he "wasn't the bigwings he wanted to be,"[3] and tried hard to protect his siblings. When he learned that Clay was alive and well, he grew uncertain of himself, believing that Clay would have done a much better job. He often wondered what Clay would do in some situations, and whether Clay would have handled them better and saved Crane.[4] He has also often wondered if Clay should have been the bigwings instead of him, and is sad about it.

Biography

Pre-Series
Reed hatched along with Sora, Pheasant, Umber, Crane, and Marsh. Clay's egg had been sold to the Talons of Peace earlier in exchange for two cows by their mother Cattail. This left Reed to take over as the bigwings of the group. Over time, the remaining siblings grew to respect him, thinking of him to be the true bigwings, though Reed began to doubt himself after his sister, Crane was killed during a battle against the IceWings.

They all wanted Clay to stay and 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.

He and his siblings also participated in a losing battle against the IceWings, in which they retreated. They then debated on joining the Talons of Peace but decided against it, though they were worried they may eventually have to choose between loyalty and safety.
