'''Fierceteeth''' is a female [[NightWings|NightWing]] and [[Starflight]]'s half-sister. She is the daughter of [[Farsight]], but her father remains unknown. She is the main protagonist in ''[[Prisoners]]''. Fierceteeth is two years older than Starflight. She and [[Strongwings]] appear to be "an odd couple", as described by [[Princess Sunny|Sunny]] in ''[[The Brightest Night]]''. She was very likely going to be a NightWing general under the rule of [[King Darkstalker]], until he was turned into [[King Darkstalker/Peacemaker|Peacemaker]] by [[Kinkajou]].


==Personality==
|Relation2 = Father
Just like her name implies, Fierceteeth is very fierce and bold and is typically hostile towards everyone, even those she has feelings towards, like Strongwings. Like several other NightWings, she is shown to be arrogant and proud, believing in the superiority of her tribe. As shown in ''"Prisoners", ''she is very cunning and ambitious. However, she does seem to have a softer side, as shown through her story about Strongwings. She has also been holding a grudge against Starflight ever since she was little, despite the fact that it was not his fault, so she has a tendancy to find blame in others. However, if her plan had worked and the [[Dragonets of Destiny]] were killed, she claims she would still find a way to keep him alive.

Fierceteeth was among the young NightWings that Starflight met on his first night on the NightWing island. She explained that they were related through their mother, who was later confirmed to be Farsight, but didn't try to interact with Starflight in any way other than wishing he was dead as she thought she would make a better Dragonet of Destiny, saying that he was weaker and younger. When the volcano erupted, she chose to accept [[Queen Glory]] as her new queen in order to be allowed into the [[Rainforest Kingdom]], though it became apparent that being let into the Rainforest was the only reason Fierceteeth accepted Glory as her queen when she soon kidnapped Sunny and was shown to be plotting against the [[RainWings]].

During the confusion caused by Starflight's injury, Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and [[Preyhunter]] kidnapped Sunny. They planned to sell her to [[Princess Burn]], Princess Blister, or Princess Blaze in order to gain an army to take the Rainforest Kingdom for the NightWings. However, Sunny escaped and followed after them, even managing to steal the [[Obsidian Mirror]] from Preyhunter while the three NightWings slept, with surprising ease. To try to stall them, Sunny wrote a eerie warning on a rock. Strongwings believed it was Darkstalker, but Fierceteeth did not. Despite these setbacks, the three NightWings, with Sunny still following, made their way to the [[Scorpion Den]], hoping to recruit a [[SandWings|SandWing]] messenger. They were instead arrested by the [[the Outclaws|Outclaws]], and Preyhunter was killed by their leader, [[Queen Thorn]]. They were then indefinitely locked in a jail in the [[Kingdom of Sand]] by Thorn, presumably for kidnapping her daughter.

Fierceteeth was in Thorn's dungeon with Strongwings. She scribbles notes to [[Saguaro]], a large, intimidating female SandWing guard with a scar over her heart. In her first story, Fierceteeth talks about the hatching of Starflight and how much her mother would stare and hope at the [[Dragon Eggs|egg]], waiting for it to reveal the [[Dragonets|dragonet]]. Fierceteeth was only two then. Soon [[Morrowseer]] comes storming in, and growls at Farsight to hand over the egg. Fierceteeth hears and immediately asks Morrowseer if she could take the egg's place, but he refuses and rushes off with the egg. From then on, Fierceteeth started pretending Morrowseer was her father and following him around, hoping to get a chance to visit the mainland, but this unfortunately never happened to her.

'''Fierceteeth''' is an adult female [[NightWing]] and the main protagonist of ''[[Prisoners]]''. She is currently in a relationship with [[Strongwings]] and is the self proclaimed  leader of [[Renewal]].


In her second story, Fierceteeth states how she met Strongwings, and why they were a couple and she will never leave him. One day after class, Fierceteeth met Strongwings after he exploded one of [[Mastermind]]'s experiments and got thrown out of the lab. They sneak off to the [[Rainforest Kingdom|rainforest]] and are subsequently caught. But when Fierceteeth gets blamed, Strongwings defends her and insists that it was all his idea. Fierceteeth realizes that he values and loves her, so she decides to get into a partnership with him for the rest of their lives.

They were then imprisoned in the dungeons of the [[SandWing stronghold]] by Thorn, presumably for kidnapping her daughter.

In the epilogue, a NightWing [[dragonet]], presumably [[Mightyclaws]], thought about a secret letter he got from his friends about escaping Thorn's prison, most likely Fierceteeth and Strongwings.

Suspicious, they secretly watched Darkstalker enchant Fierceteeth to act and look like Clearsight, but after many failed attempts he eventually gave up, knowing she would not ever be the same dragon he loved. In the epilogue, it was stated that once again, she wanted to make herself queen of the NightWings, but the NightWings seemed to realize that it was not so much of a disaster to have a RainWing as a queen.

|content = Fierceteeth was in Thorn's dungeon with Strongwings. She scribbled notes to Saguaro, a large, intimidating female SandWing guard possibly associated with a criminal named Vulture. In her first story, Fierceteeth talked about the hatching of Starflight and how much her mother would stare and hope at the egg, waiting for it to reveal the dragonet. Fierceteeth was only two then. Soon, Morrowseer came storming in and growled at Farsight to hand over the egg. Fierceteeth heard this and immediately asked Morrowseer if she could take the egg's place, but he refused and rushed off with the egg. From then on, Fierceteeth started to pretend Morrowseer was her father and followed him around, hoping to get a chance to visit the mainland, but this unfortunately never happened to her. Saguaro felt that this story was tragic, but Fierceteeth continued writing.

This theory makes sense, however, in ''[[Moon Rising]],'' Qibli seems to believe they were sent to Glory. He may have simply not been informed of Glory and Queen Thorn's agreement.
In her second story, Fierceteeth stated how she met Strongwings, talking about why they were a couple and how she would never leave him. One day after class, Fierceteeth met Strongwings after he exploded one of [[Mastermind]]'s experiments and got thrown out of the lab. They snuck off to the rainforest to enjoy what was not in their volcanic island and were subsequently caught, but when Fierceteeth got blamed Strongwings defended her and insisted that it was all his idea. Fierceteeth realized that he valued and loved her, so she decided to get into a partnership with him for the rest of their lives.


=== ''[[Talons of Power (Book)|Talons Of Power]]'' ===
In the third story, Fierceteeth explained how [[Pyrrhia]] might have ended so much better if her plans succeeded: that she handed the dragonets of destiny to Burn, and she would become the queen of the NightWings. Saguaro, persuaded by the tale and her tragic backstory, finally agreed to release Fierceteeth and Strongwings.
[[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]] mentioned to Sunny that some prisoners had escaped from Queen Thorn's prison. This may have been Fierceteeth and Strongwings. Fierceteeth, Strongwings, Saguaro, and two unknown SandWings attempted to kill Queen Glory. [[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]] stops them from killing Glory and says to Glory that he "accidentally" killed one of the SandWings which he lied about and enchanted him to go give Vulture a message (''Darkness of Dragons'' page 104). Fierceteeth, Strongwings, Saguaro and the other SandWing are put in the RainWings' new prison. In the morning, Darkstalker sets Fireceteeth free and promotes her to a court member.

She eventually agreed to write something and gave Starflight [[literature#Named scrolls|''Rising from the Ruins'']], a scroll about Renewal, confirming that she and a group of other NightWings have begun to settle the lost city of night. She also provided Starflight with a scroll about [[Queen Vigilance]] and her Glass Jubilee.

== Relationships ==
Qibli and Moonwatcher are dumbfounded when Darkstalker introduces them to Clearsight. However, Moon notices she acts differently and states "she has the personality of a sun-dried tomato." Suspicious, they secretly watch Darkstalker enchant Fierceteeth to act and look like Clearsight. But after many failed attempts, he eventually gives up, knowing she won't ever be the same dragon he loved. In the epilogue, it was stated that once again, she wanted to make herself queen of the NightWings, but the NightWings seemed to realize that it was not so much of a disaster to have a RainWing as a queen. It is unknown if she is back on trial for she hasn't paid for her crimes yet.
=== [[Farsight]] ===
Fierceteeth wheedled for her mother to help her hunt,{{Ref|W1q|10}} but after Farsight explained that she was worried about danger towards Starflight's egg, Fierceteeth became angry and demanding.{{Ref|W1q|11}} She felt betrayed by Farsight's care towards her second dragonet, and believed her loyalty towards Fierceteeth to be shallow.{{Ref|W1q|16}} She hated the fact that she had to compete for her mother's attention with an unhatched sibling.


==Relationships==
=== [[Morrowseer]] ===
===[[Starflight]]===
After Starflight's egg was sent away to the mainland, Fierceteeth tried to convince Morrowseer that she is a worthy dragonet of destiny by 'accidentally' bumping into him and showing up at his lectures or bumping prey in his direction. She sometimes treated him like a father in her head, however Morrowseer did not appreciate her efforts, typically ignoring her help.{{Ref|W1q|16}}
Despite learning Starflight is her half-brother, she shows absolutely no concern or cares for him. There have been several times that she clearly wished he would die. She believes that she would have made a better Dragonet of Destiny, and is jealous of how he was able to grow up on the mainland. She considers him useless, and a terrible Dragonet of Destiny and NightWing. However, in ''Prisoners'' she stated that although she would kill the other Dragonets of Destiny if her plan worked out, she would not kill Starflight because "you can't waste a NightWing", even though he betrayed their tribe. Fierceteeth hoped that someday Starflight could be "fixed".
===[[Strongwings]]===
Fierceteeth and Strongwings share strong romantic feelings. Sunny thought that they were an odd couple, for even though Strongwings was so much stronger and bulkier, he was very obedient towards Fierceteeth, and lets her order him around. She's still quite hostile or harsh towards him when he messes up or snores too loudly, but we still get a sense that she cares for him, as she calls him, "the only dragon I can trust in all of Pyrrhia".
===[[Mastermind]]===
Although he becomes her mother's partner eventually, Fierceteeth is shown to have seen him as nothing more than a loud scientist and an annoying, blabbering teacher.


==Family Tree==
=== [[Starflight]] ===
{{Starflight Family Tree}}
Starflight is her half-brother. She shows absolutely no concern or care for him, and there have been several times that she wished he would die. She believes that she would have made a better Dragonet of Destiny, and is jealous of his growing up off the NightWing Island. She considers him useless, and a terrible Dragonet of Destiny and NightWing. In ''Prisoners'', she stated that although she would kill the other dragonets of destiny if her plan worked out, she would not kill Starflight because "you can't waste a NightWing," even though he betrayed their tribe. Fierceteeth hoped that someday Starflight could be "fixed."{{Ref|W1q|36}} She described him as a useless brother, but still invited him to the hatching ceremony for her eggs and believed that he would be a good uncle.{{Ref|AGttDW|104}}


== Quotes==
=== [[Strongwings]] ===
''"You all have tiny RainWing brains, [...] He was still inside his egg when they took him. They didn't know if he'd be big or scary or even if he'd be male or female. Otherwise, of course, they would have picked a girl, obviously."''
Though Fierceteeth knew Strongwings since the moment she hatched, she did not particularly like him at first and mostly ignored him.{{Ref|W1q|20-21}} She was glad when Strongwings turned ten and moved out of the dragonet dormitory. Fierceteeth feels protected around Strongwings,{{Ref|W1q|25}} like having a small mountain walking beside her, and he is one of the only dragons that can make her smile. He believes she is unique,{{Ref|W1q|28}} and he is sentimental and sincere towards her. His laughter does not make Fierceteeth angry, as other dragons' laughter does.{{Ref|W1q|29}} He had an odd catch in his voice when he told her how important she was, and he was willing to break the rules simply to make her happy. After realizing his affections for her, Fierceteeth wrapped her tail around his and later explained to Saguaro that he is her dragon, that he will do anything to keep her alive, and that he is the only dragon she trusts in all of Pyrrhia.{{Ref|W1q|33}} Fierceteeth stated that it was non-negotiable that Strongwings stayed with her. She did not care if no one understands why they were together. Fierceteeth currently has at least three eggs with Strongwings.{{Ref|AGttDW|104}}

"But I deserve to be free. Everything I did, all my so-called "crimes," were for the good of my fellow NightWings. I was trying to find us an ally who would restore our power. I was trying to save us from being controlled by another tribe. I was trying to make sure we had a real home of our own!"
— Fierceteeth to Saguaro, Prisoners

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dark Secret
Fierceteeth was among the young NightWings that Starflight met on his first night on the NightWing island. She explained that they were related through their mother, Farsight, but did not try to interact with Starflight in any way other than wishing he was dead as she thought she would make a better dragonet of destiny, saying that he was weaker and younger and not fit to be a leader. When the volcano erupted, she chose to accept Glory as her new queen - not out of respect, but to be allowed into the Rainforest Kingdom.
The Brightest Night
During the confusion caused by Starflight's injury, Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and Preyhunter kidnapped Sunny. They planned to sell her to Burn, Blister, or Blaze in order to gain an army to take the Rainforest Kingdom for the NightWings. However, Sunny escaped and followed after them, even managing to steal the Obsidian Mirror from Preyhunter while the three NightWings slept, with surprising ease. To try to stall them, Sunny wrote an eerie warning on a rock. Strongwings believed it was Darkstalker, but Fierceteeth did not. Despite these setbacks, the three NightWings, with Sunny still following, made their way to the Scorpion Den, hoping to recruit a SandWing messenger. They were taken to Thorn, the leader of the Outclaws, who interrogated them on Morrowseer. Preyhunter was killed for saying that Morrowseer was already dead, and Sunny jumped forward and confirmed that Morrowseer was dead, because she did not want Fierceteeth and Strongwings to die as well. They were then imprisoned in the dungeons of the SandWing stronghold by Thorn, presumably for kidnapping her daughter.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising
Qibli mentioned that Queen Thorn had been planning to send her and Strongwings back to Queen Glory as her prisoners.
Winter Turning

While Glory, Winter, and his friends were talking, Glory told Winter that there were two prisoners she should take care of, but Thorn had agreed to hold them in her prison for now, which referred to Fierceteeth and Strongwings.

In the epilogue, a NightWing dragonet, presumably Mightyclaws, thought about a secret letter he got from his friends about escaping Thorn's prison, most likely Fierceteeth and Strongwings. This theory makes sense, however, in Moon Rising, Qibli seemed to believe they were sent to Glory, although he may have simply not been informed of Glory and Queen Thorn's agreement.
Escaping Peril
Fierceteeth was indirectly mentioned when a NightWing was following Turtle and Peril and they believed it may have been one of the NightWings who had escaped Thorn's prison.
Talons of Power
Tsunami mentioned to Sunny that some prisoners had escaped from Queen Thorn's prison. This may have been Fierceteeth and Strongwings. Fierceteeth, Strongwings, Saguaro, and two unknown SandWings attempted to kill Queen Glory. Darkstalker stopped them from killing Glory and told her that he "accidentally" killed one of the SandWings, which he lied about, enchanting him to go give Vulture a message. Fierceteeth, Strongwings, Saguaro, and the other SandWing were put in the RainWings' new prison. In the morning, Darkstalker set Fierceteeth free and promoted her to a court member.
Darkness of Dragons
When Darkstalker was giving out powers to the NightWings in the lost city of night, Fierceteeth handed him a basket full of the silver enchanted bracelets. Qibli and Moonwatcher were dumbfounded when Darkstalker introduced them to Clearsight. However, Moon noticed that she acted differently and stated: "she has the personality of a sun-dried tomato." Suspicious, they secretly watched Darkstalker enchant Fierceteeth to act and look like Clearsight, but after many failed attempts he eventually gave up, knowing she would not ever be the same dragon he loved. In the epilogue, it was stated that once again, she wanted to make herself queen of the NightWings, but the NightWings seemed to realize that it was not so much of a disaster to have a RainWing as a queen. It is unknown if she ever stood trial for her crimes, or what the results of said trial were if it occurred.

Winglets

Prisoners

Fierceteeth was in Thorn's dungeon with Strongwings. She scribbled notes to Saguaro, a large, intimidating female SandWing guard possibly associated with a criminal named Vulture. In her first story, Fierceteeth talked about the hatching of Starflight and how much her mother would stare and hope at the egg, waiting for it to reveal the dragonet. Fierceteeth was only two then. Soon, Morrowseer came storming in and growled at Farsight to hand over the egg. Fierceteeth heard this and immediately asked Morrowseer if she could take the egg's place, but he refused and rushed off with the egg. From then on, Fierceteeth started to pretend Morrowseer was her father and followed him around, hoping to get a chance to visit the mainland, but this unfortunately never happened to her. Saguaro felt that this story was tragic, but Fierceteeth continued writing.

In her second story, Fierceteeth stated how she met Strongwings, talking about why they were a couple and how she would never leave him. One day after class, Fierceteeth met Strongwings after he exploded one of Mastermind's experiments and got thrown out of the lab. They snuck off to the rainforest to enjoy what was not in their volcanic island and were subsequently caught, but when Fierceteeth got blamed Strongwings defended her and insisted that it was all his idea. Fierceteeth realized that he valued and loved her, so she decided to get into a partnership with him for the rest of their lives.

In the third story, Fierceteeth explained how Pyrrhia might have ended so much better if her plans succeeded: that she handed the dragonets of destiny to Burn, and she would become the queen of the NightWings. Saguaro, persuaded by the tale and her tragic backstory, finally agreed to release Fierceteeth and Strongwings.

Field Guides

A Guide to the Dragon World
Fierceteeth's letters to Starflight were featured in the guide. She eventually agreed to write something and gave Starflight Rising from the Ruins, a scroll about Renewal, confirming that she and a group of other NightWings have begun to settle the lost city of night. She also provided Starflight with a scroll about Queen Vigilance and her Glass Jubilee.

Relationships

Farsight

Fierceteeth wheedled for her mother to help her hunt,[15] but after Farsight explained that she was worried about danger towards Starflight's egg, Fierceteeth became angry and demanding.[19] She felt betrayed by Farsight's care towards her second dragonet, and believed her loyalty towards Fierceteeth to be shallow.[20] She hated the fact that she had to compete for her mother's attention with an unhatched sibling.

Morrowseer

After Starflight's egg was sent away to the mainland, Fierceteeth tried to convince Morrowseer that she is a worthy dragonet of destiny by 'accidentally' bumping into him and showing up at his lectures or bumping prey in his direction. She sometimes treated him like a father in her head, however Morrowseer did not appreciate her efforts, typically ignoring her help.[20]

Starflight

Starflight is her half-brother. She shows absolutely no concern or care for him, and there have been several times that she wished he would die. She believes that she would have made a better Dragonet of Destiny, and is jealous of his growing up off the NightWing Island. She considers him useless, and a terrible Dragonet of Destiny and NightWing. In Prisoners, she stated that although she would kill the other dragonets of destiny if her plan worked out, she would not kill Starflight because "you can't waste a NightWing," even though he betrayed their tribe. Fierceteeth hoped that someday Starflight could be "fixed."[21] She described him as a useless brother, but still invited him to the hatching ceremony for her eggs and believed that he would be a good uncle.[22]

Strongwings

Though Fierceteeth knew Strongwings since the moment she hatched, she did not particularly like him at first and mostly ignored him.[23] She was glad when Strongwings turned ten and moved out of the dragonet dormitory. Fierceteeth feels protected around Strongwings,[16] like having a small mountain walking beside her, and he is one of the only dragons that can make her smile. He believes she is unique,[8] and he is sentimental and sincere towards her. His laughter does not make Fierceteeth angry, as other dragons' laughter does.[7] He had an odd catch in his voice when he told her how important she was, and he was willing to break the rules simply to make her happy. After realizing his affections for her, Fierceteeth wrapped her tail around his and later explained to Saguaro that he is her dragon, that he will do anything to keep her alive, and that he is the only dragon she trusts in all of Pyrrhia.[24] Fierceteeth stated that it was non-negotiable that Strongwings stayed with her. She did not care if no one understands why they were together. Fierceteeth currently has at least three eggs with Strongwings.[22]
