'''Princess Moray''' is a female [[SeaWings|SeaWing]] apart of the [[SeaWing Royal Family]].
'''Moray''' is an adult female [[SeaWing]] [[princess]] who was introduced in ''[[The Lost Heir (book)|The Lost Heir]]''. She serves as [[Queen Coral]]'s [[Literature|scroll]] publisher and communications herald in the [[SeaWing Council]].{{Ref|TLH|92}} She is the daughter of [[Shark]] and currently resides in the [[Kingdom of the Sea]].
 
== Appearance ==
Moray is described as having gray-green scales and small, unsettling, bone-pale eyes that closely resemble those of her father, [[Commander Shark]].{{Ref|TLH|93}} She also wears silver bracelets on her forearms that are studded with sapphires.{{cite}} It was mentioned that she wore a fake-looking smile, which was one of the reasons Tsunami thought she was killing the heirs. Tsunami also thought it was odd how she could smile for so long.


Princess Anemone described her as drippy, fatuous, and about as interesting as a sea slime.
== Description ==
Moray is large,{{Ref|TLH|79}} with dull, gray-green scales and small, colorless eyes{{Ref|TLH|93}} that closely resemble those of Shark.

Moray is smug,{{Ref|TLH|93}} and was described by [[Anemone]] to be a perfect, boring [[dragons|dragon]] that can do no wrong,{{Ref|TLH|103}} as well as drippy, fatuous, and uninteresting.{{Ref|TLH|106}} Anemone also believes her to be strange, like no one could act as worshipful toward Coral as she does all the time and really mean it.{{Ref|TLH|210}} Despite the affection she showed toward Coral, she was not gentle with the injured [[Webs]].{{Ref|TLH|217}}
Moray adores [[Queen Coral]] but detests [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]], [[Princess Anemone|Anemone]], and [[Princess Auklet|Auklet]] due to the fact that they might one day challenge and kill her [[Dragon Queens|queen]] to take the SeaWing throne. It is said that she often throws disgusted looks towards Anemone, and even sometimes toward [[Orca's Statue|the statue of Orca]] in the [[The SeaWing Royal Hatchery]].

Moray seems to adore [[Queen Coral]] so much that she is willing to do almost anything for her, although Anemone believes that she is faking her admiration, making her and Tsunami suspect that Moray is murdering Queen Coral's heirs (whom she hates, because they might one day kill her queen). However, this theory was proved incorrect.

Moray came to notify Queen Coral of a dead body that had been found near the [[Summer Palace]]. The [[queen]] showed little interest, yawning, until Moray mentioned that it was a [[SkyWing]].

Moray serves in the SeaWing Council as a publisher, spreading Queen Coral's writing around the continent. Moray is also Shark's daughter, thus making the dragonets she detested (Princess Tsunami, Anemone, [[Princess Orca|Orca]], and Auklet) her cousins.
 
Moray is seen when reporting a [[Kestrel|dead SkyWing]] on a nearby island. She joins the patrol to check on it.


When Tsunami is attacked by [[Whirlpool]], she doesn't know it was him and suspects it was Moray, thinking of how much the SeaWing hates Coral's heirs.
The next morning, Moray was present during a council meeting. While [[Whirlpool]] described how well Coral's newest scrolls were selling, Moray interrupted by mentioning that the underwater editions, which she spent much of her time promoting, were especially popular. She also mentioned that SeaWing schools had adjusted their curriculums to ensure that dragonets had ample time to read more of [[Scrolls#List of Known Scrolls|Coral's scrolls]].

==Trivia==
*If Orca's Statue killed all of Coral's heirs, Moray might have had to take the throne after the Queen's death.
*Moray was an heir as well, so she should have been a target, although there is a possibility that she didn't hatch in the Royal Hatchery.
**However, perhaps Orca didn't specifically tell the enchanted statue of herself to kill all possible heirs to the throne, sparing Moray of any danger.
**Another possibility would be that Moray is older than Orca, so she'd hatched before Orca enchanted the statue.
*In ''Talons of Power'', it was said that she was old enough to be a member of the council. This disproves the theory that she is a dragonet.
