'''Asha''' was a female [[MudWings|MudWing]] and a member of the [[Talons of Peace]]. She was [[Cattail]]'s sister, and therefore [[Clay]] and his siblings' aunt.

Cattail claimed that Asha was "always softhearted and mushy about everything" and that "she left a lot of blithering, obsessed, dreamy-eyed dragons behind in the village".

She was portrayed as gentle and caring, as well as possibly a good maternal and parental figure, unlike most MudWing parents.

**The name "Asha" also means "hope" in Sanskrit or "life" in Swahili, which is most likely why [[Tui T. Sutherland]] picked her name, because Asha was filled with hope about the success of the prophecy.
*In the annotated version of ''The Dragonet Prophecy'', Tui said that she might tell Asha's story someday, perhaps in a [[Wings of Fire: Winglets|Winglet]].
*It is possible that, when stealing Clay's egg, she flew through the roof of her sleephouse--or punched it in anger. Given her personality, however, it is much more likely that her absence caused one of her sibs to punch the ceiling in fury.
*It seems Asha cared more about the well being of dragonets than an average MudWing.
*If Asha had survived her wounds, she would've been a guardian of the Dragonets of Destiny, and Clay's teacher about the ways of the MudWing tribe.
*Asha is one of the only three known MudWings in the Talons of Peace. The others are [[Crocodile]] and an unnamed female MudWing.
*Asha was the first MudWing to be mentioned in some way.
*Clay thought about how Asha would care for them, unlike Kestrel. Whether Kestrel and Asha would have gotten along is unknown, though we can assume that their personality conflicts would have prevented it.

Asha was a member of the Talons of Peace and the dragon who brought Clay's blood-red egg to them. However, she was badly injured due to getting caught in the crossfire of a skirmish between Blister's and Blaze's forces and died of her wounds shortly after arriving at the Talons' secret location under the mountain.

The Dragonet Prophecy

In the prologue, Webs said that Asha was dead and that she had died of battle wound, but she successfully delivered the blood-red MudWing egg to them before she died.

Later, Asha was mentioned by Cattail, her sister, when Cattail was explaining how she sold Clay's egg to the Talons of Peace for two cows. Clay realized that having Asha alive as one of their guardians would have meant that they would have had a kind adult who cared about them and who would have told Clay about MudWing traditions, which meant that having Asha in the cave would have improved the lives of the dragonets of destiny. Asha also would have known why Clay "attacked" the other eggs when they hatched, eliminating quite a bit of verbal abuse and wrongful expectations from Kestrel in his life. Cattail said that her siblings would be pretty upset at the death of Asha and that it served her right for leaving their bigwings.
