'''Princess Icicle''' is a female [[IceWings|IceWing]] dragonet, and was a student attending [[Jade Mountain Academy]] as a member of the [[Gold Winglet]] and clawmate to [[Sora]]. She is the late [[Queen Glacier|Queen Glacier's]] niece, and therefore in line for the throne of the Ice Kingdom. She has two brothers, [[Winter]] and [[Prince Hailstorm|Hailstorm]]. Hailstorm, the eldest, was trapped in the [[Sky Kingdom]] in the form of [[Pyrite]] by [[Ex-Queen Scarlet]], which is why Icicle tried to kill [[Starflight]] and the rest of the [[The Dragonets of Destiny|Dragonets of Destiny]] at the end of ''[[Moon Rising]] and throughout [[Winter Turning]]''. [[Ex-Queen Scarlet]] made a deal with Icicle that if she murdered the original Dragonets of Destiny, Icicle would get Hailstorm in return and could return back to the ice palace with fame, no matter who she killed on the way. After she escaped from Jade Mountain, she tried to kill [[Queen Glory|Glory]] to complete her mission, but was stopped once again by Winter and his friends from the [[Jade Winglet]].

Prisoner of [[Queen Snowfall]]  
Icicle was confirmed by [[Moonwatcher|Moon]] and Sora to have killed [[Crane]] in the small battle between the IceWings and [[MudWings]] during the [[SandWings|SandWing]] [[War of The SandWing Succession|war]] before the Dragonets of Destiny came to the Mud Kingdom. She killed Crane by slitting her throat, grinning at Sora as she flew off. Sora later swore vengeance on the IceWing, which is the reason for her two assassination attempts in ''Moon Rising'', which failed and effectively dished out critical damage to several other dragonets. This includes accidentally killing two of her fellow students, [[Carnelian]] and [[Bigtail]], and injuring a third, [[Tamarin]].

[[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]] didn't want to tell Moon who was contacting Queen Scarlet, because he knew her fate would end in her death. Sora figured out that was she the one who killed Crane, and tried to kill Icicle to avenge [[Crane|Crane's]] death. Sora bombed the history cave with a [[Dragonflame Cactus|dragonflame cactus]], accidentally killing two innocent dragons ([[Carnelian]] and [[Bigtail]]), and injuring a third ([[Tamarin]]), instead of Icicle, and attempted another time by scraping off a stalactite on top of the Prey Center. Icicle survived both attempts, and tried to kill Sora and [[Starflight]]. Moonwatcher figured out that she was the one who was contacting Scarlet, but Icicle said that she was doing this to get her brother Hailstorm back. She tried to convince Winter that she was doing this for Hailstorm, but Winter objected and fought back by smacking her across the face. She later escaped out of a nearby window, her next target being [[Queen Glory]].

Icicle was found on the destroyed [[NightWing Fortress|NightWing Island]] with bloodshot eyes, for she had not slept in 4 or 5 days.

She mentions her plans to assassinate Glory, and [[Kinkajou]] unexpectedly tackles Icicle and pins her to the ground. Right before Kinkajou is about to be killed by the IceWing, Deathbringer and Queen Glory arrive and tranquilize Icicle, who is desperately screaming at Winter that he should keep her awake, because might appear in her dreams. She is arrested and transported to the healers' hut, unconscious.

'''Icicle''' is a female [[IceWing]] [[dragonet]] [[princess]] who was introduced in ''[[Moon Rising (book)|Moon Rising]]''. She formerly attended [[Jade Mountain Academy]] as a member of the Gold Winglet. After her failed attempt to murder the [[dragonets of destiny]] and [[Moonwatcher]], she escaped [[Jade Mountain]] and fled to the [[Rainforest Kingdom]], where she was soon arrested by [[Glory]] and [[Deathbringer]]. She is currently imprisoned and awaiting trial in the [[Ice Kingdom]].


She is later seen flying with [[Queen Glacier]] back to the Ice Palace after Glory gives her back, her punishment was up to Glacier, on the condition that there would be a cutting of the Moon Globe Tree for the RainWings and NightWings.
== Description ==
Icicle has gleaming white scales.{{Ref|MR|179}} She is pristine,{{Ref|WT|28}} with pale,{{Ref|MR|259}} arctic blue eyes.{{Ref|WT|101}} She is haughty-looking,{{Ref|MR|15}} with a smooth, high-pitched voice.{{Ref|MR|136}} Her claws are sharp, her teeth gleam, and her spines are pristine even after clubbing a walrus to death; she plunged into the ocean six times a day before attending Jade Mountain Academy in order to appear clean, because she claims that a glittering IceWing is a more intimidating one. {{Ref|WT|101}} She is larger than [[Winter]]{{Ref|MR|274}} and most [[RainWings]].{{Ref|WT|57}} Later on, when she went into hiding, Winter described her to have bloodshot eyes, and that she was caked in mud and blood.{{Ref|WT|101}}


==Personality==
== Personality ==
Icicle is fierce and proud, probably due to her parents having high expectations of her and often pressuring her. She appears to be very secretive, hiding dangerous plots from even her own brother, Winter. She believes that Winter is weak and harmless. She is also vicious and determined, not hesitating to kill or harm others to get what she wants, and thinks "killing is easy enough". Despite this though, Icicle sometimes shows a softer side, such as when she feels guilty for failing her elder brother and puts herself through a lot of pain so she doesn't have to watch him die in front of her. She cares much for her older brother, Hailstorm.
According to Winter, Icicle is brilliant, dangerous, and prefers to hunt alone. He thinks that she would have rescued [[Hailstorm]] herself without asking for assistance from anyone{{Ref|WT|13}} and is ferocious.{{Ref|WT|57}} Although Moonwatcher would not have acted the way Icicle did and agreed that Icicle needed to be stopped, she understood Icicle's choices and did not believe that she was evil. Moonwatcher also described Icicle's mind as very cold and intense.{{Ref|WT|78}} She is stubborn, fearless, and fiercely determined.{{Ref|WT|103}}{{Ref|MR|272}}

== Relationships ==


''"You don't understand. You idiot." ''- to Winter when he stops her in ''Moon Rising''
=== [[Hailstorm]] ===
Icicle seemed to care a lot more about Hailstorm than Winter, grieving for him as well as feeling guilty for failing him. Her love for Hailstorm was the motive behind working for Scarlet, as she would do anything to get him back. However, Hailstorm's feelings about Icicle are currently unknown.


''“Yes—and if I had succeeded in killing the prophecy dragonets for Queen Scarlet, she would have given him back to me. To us. But instead you’ve killed him all over again. And now you have to live with that forever.”'' – to Winter after she revealed that their brother Hailstorm is still alive

Icicle was forced to kill the dragonets of destiny, but failed. Scarlet manipulated her, haunting her in her dreams every day to the point where Icicle burned herself to stay awake. Scarlet's sinister words made Icicle desperate to have her brother back.


''"You are the worst kind of dirt covered whale chum." ''- An insult to Winter after he'd stopped her from hurting Starflight and Moonwatcher in ''Moon Rising''
=== [[Winter]] ===
Icicle cared little for Winter, favoring Hailstorm instead. She called him useless and a disappointment, seeming to have no emotional connection to him; however, Winter still cared about her even when she would not have loved him the same way.

"Yes — and if I had succeeded in killing the prophecy dragonets for Queen Scarlet, she would have given him back to me. To us. But instead you've killed him all over again. And now you have to live with that forever."
— Icicle to Winter about Hailstorm, Moon Rising

Icicle is a female IceWing dragonet princess who was introduced in Moon Rising. She formerly attended Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Gold Winglet. After her failed attempt to murder the dragonets of destiny and Moonwatcher, she escaped Jade Mountain and fled to the Rainforest Kingdom, where she was soon arrested by Glory and Deathbringer. She is currently imprisoned and awaiting trial in the Ice Kingdom.

Description

Icicle has gleaming white scales.[1] She is pristine,[2] with pale,[3] arctic blue eyes.[4] She is haughty-looking,[5] with a smooth, high-pitched voice.[6] Her claws are sharp, her teeth gleam, and her spines are pristine even after clubbing a walrus to death; she plunged into the ocean six times a day before attending Jade Mountain Academy in order to appear clean, because she claims that a glittering IceWing is a more intimidating one. [4] She is larger than Winter[7] and most RainWings.[8] Later on, when she went into hiding, Winter described her to have bloodshot eyes, and that she was caked in mud and blood.[4]

Personality

According to Winter, Icicle is brilliant, dangerous, and prefers to hunt alone. He thinks that she would have rescued Hailstorm herself without asking for assistance from anyone[9] and is ferocious.[8] Although Moonwatcher would not have acted the way Icicle did and agreed that Icicle needed to be stopped, she understood Icicle's choices and did not believe that she was evil. Moonwatcher also described Icicle's mind as very cold and intense.[10] She is stubborn, fearless, and fiercely determined.[11][12]

Biography

Pre-Series
Icicle was confirmed by Moon and Sora to have been the one who killed Crane in the battle between the IceWings and MudWings during the War of SandWing Succession. Icicle killed Crane by slitting her throat, then grinned at Sora as she flew away.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising
She and her brother, Winter, attended Jade Mountain Academy at Queen Glacier's insistence, and became clawmates with Sora. When Moon came back from talking to Stonemover on her first night, she heard a dragon who was speaking to Scarlet with a dreamvisitor. Darkstalker did not want to tell Moon who was contacting Queen Scarlet, because he knew that future ended in her death. Sora attempted to kill Icicle twice for killing her sister Crane during the war, accidentally killing Carnelian and Bigtail, and injuring Tamarin in the process. After the second failed attempt, Icicle then tried to kill Starflight, and planned to kill Sora later. Moonwatcher figured out that she was the one who was contacting Scarlet, but Icicle said that she was doing this to get her brother Hailstorm back. She tried to convince Winter that she was doing this for Hailstorm, but Winter objected and fought back. She then escaped out of a nearby window, her next target being Queen Glory.
Winter Turning

Icicle was found on the destroyed NightWing island with bloodshot eyes, having not slept in four or five days. She did this because she did not want to hear Scarlet tell her by the dreamvisitor that she had failed and that her brother was dead. She mentioned her plans to assassinate Glory, and Kinkajou unexpectedly tackles Icicle, pinning her to the ground. Before Icicle could kill Kinkajou, Deathbringer and Queen Glory arrived and tranquilized Icicle, who desperately screamed at Winter that she needed to stay awake, because Ex-Queen Scarlet might appear in her dreams. She was arrested and transported to the healers' hut, unconscious.

Before the effect of the tranquilizer dart sank in, she begged her brother to keep her from falling asleep. Winter told her to make a deal with Scarlet, saying that if he killed Glory, the former SkyWing queen would release his brother.

While Icicle was unconscious, she spoke to Scarlet and told her about the deal Winter made.

She was later seen flying with Queen Glacier back to the IceWing palace after Glory allowed her to return to the Ice Kingdom. Her punishment was up to Glacier, on the condition that she could have a cutting of the Moon Globe Tree for the RainWings and NightWings.
Escaping Peril
Icicle was mentioned to have been sent by Scarlet to kill the dragonets of destiny when Peril failed to do what Scarlet told her to do.
Talons of Power

While in the library at Jade Mountain Academy, Turtle noted how the hole Icicle had made when she escaped the academy had not been fixed yet.

While defending the idea of dragons from other tribes being able to get along with each other at Jade Mountain Academy, Moon stated that not all dragons were like Icicle or Flame or Sora.
Darkness of Dragons
She was briefly mentioned by Winter in the epilogue, when he said that he was allowed back in the Ice Kingdom for Icicle's trial, though only for a few days.

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Dangerous Gift
Icicle was first mentioned, though not by name, when Snowfall thought about how she had stayed at the top of the wall, except for that time when her cousins ruined it for a few days. Icicle was mentioned by Snowfall to be in prison. She was also mentioned when Snowfall thought about the two IceWings sent to replace her and Winter at Jade Mountain.
The Flames of Hope
In Lynx's memory, she was shown playing with four other IceWing dragonets. The one who said "And maybe the walruses will eat her," was most likely Icicle.

Relationships

Hailstorm

Icicle seemed to care a lot more about Hailstorm than Winter, grieving for him as well as feeling guilty for failing him. Her love for Hailstorm was the motive behind working for Scarlet, as she would do anything to get him back. However, Hailstorm's feelings about Icicle are currently unknown.

Scarlet

Icicle was forced to kill the dragonets of destiny, but failed. Scarlet manipulated her, haunting her in her dreams every day to the point where Icicle burned herself to stay awake. Scarlet's sinister words made Icicle desperate to have her brother back.

Winter

Icicle cared little for Winter, favoring Hailstorm instead. She called him useless and a disappointment, seeming to have no emotional connection to him; however, Winter still cared about her even when she would not have loved him the same way.

Quotes

"I see how you benefit from this plan, but I'm not hearing any guarantees for me. Killing is easy enough, but if I kill them, how do I know you'll tell me the truth? And what happens to him if they catch me?"
― to Scarlet in her dream (Moon Rising, page 68)
"I'll tell you what else, [...] That bomb yesterday was probably meant for me, too. I'm the target. Someone was trying to kill me, and I'm going to find whoever it is and turn them into a glittering ice statue, which I will then beat to smithereens with my tail."
― when the stalactite almost kills her (Moon Rising, page 258)
"I see you edging closer, SandWing, [...] Listen. I'll just take this librarian with me to make sure no one follows. I'll release him once I'm a safe distance away. That's the best deal you're going to get."
― to Qibli when she attacks Starflight in the library (Moon Rising, page 272)
"Very well, Plan B, [...] Multiple kills, escape in the chaos. That SandWing is just within range of my frostbreath, and then I slit Starflight's throat, break the little NightWing's neck, and go after Sunny and the others. Winter can stay and whimper over their bones if he wants to."
― a thought while in the library (Moon Rising, page 273)
"You never won when we fought in the hatchery, [...] Don't bother trying now. And for what? A couple of NightWings? Don't you remember that we hate them? Don't you remember what they did to our tribe? To Hailstorm? [...] The NightWings came right out of the sky and killed every last IceWing in Scarlet's mountain prison, [...] While the IceWings were still bound and chained. Remember? And do you remember why? To make Queen Scarlet free that one. [...] He's the reason they're all dead."
― to Winter when he comes to save Moon, Qibli, and Starflight in the library (Moon Rising, page 274-275)
"Yes — and if I had succeeded in killing the prophecy dragonets for Queen Scarlet, she would have given him back to me. To us. But instead you've killed him all over again. And now you have to live with that forever."
― to Winter after she revealed that their brother Hailstorm is still alive (Moon Rising, page 276)
"I don't need your help, of all dragons. You don't have the claws to do what needs to be done. And she's probably killed him by now anyway."
― to Winter about him helping her save Hailstorm (Winter Turning, page 102)
"No! [...] I can't sleep! Don't make me sleep! [...] Winter, stop them — help me — tell them I can't — she'll find me! She'll tell me he's dead and then it'll be over and he'll be gone! Winter, keep me awake!"
― when they find her on the NightWing Volcano (Winter Turning, page 105)

Trivia

  • Icicle was in combat training with dragons three times her size by her first hatching day.[13]
  • Icicle believes that an IceWing who glitters like diamonds is more menacing, and that grubby, dull dragons deserve to be in the Seventh Circle.[4]
