Jerboa was commissioned by an unknown SandWing queen to create the Eye of Onyx — an enchanted necklace with an onyx set in the pendant — to keep the queen in power. Instead, Jerboa enchanted the Eye to choose rightful queens regardless of the royal bloodline and kill those who are not worthy who try to take the throne. She used her power for Queen [[Scorpion]] until Scorpion asked for things that would cause large harm to other tribes. Jerboa fled and enchanted an animal's egg to be a dragon egg. She named the [[dragonet]] Jerboa after herself, and started to enchant [[Jerboa III]] to do the hard tasks and chores and be agreeable and perfect. Jerboa restarted Jerboa III, who asked to be called Boa, to a dragonet many times. Jerboa also abducted dragons from different tribes, enchanting them to be their servants. Jerboa enchanted Boa to "fear animus magic" or "not be interested." Boa asked Jerboa for an animus enchanted item, and she gave her a shell necklace that would bring Boa to Jerboa any time she wished. They had lived eleven centuries when Boa asked for another item, which were porcupine quills tied together with a vine that would freeze her prey so she could catch it easier. The next day, Boa pointed the quills at Jerboa, freezing her in place. Boa interrogated Jerboa, asking her how many animus spells were on her. Jerboa told Boa that there was a scroll where Jerboa wrote down all her spells that she wanted on Boa. Boa confessed that she wrote down she wanted to be an animus. By that time the porcupine quills had frozen Jerboa in a block of magical ice, sealing her in forever. Jerboa left one lasting magic effect on Boa: I enchant this dragon to lose a part of herself with every enchantment she makes until she is dead.

"No, no, no. [...] Magic isn't safe. It's very very dangerous. Only very special dragons should have it, and that's why it's so rare. Only one animus dragon at a time, that's the rule."
— Jerboa to Jerboa III, The Dangerous Gift

(Not to be confused with her daughter Jerboa III, or her first attempt at creating a dragonet, Jerboa II.)

Jerboa was an adult female SandWing who was introduced in The Dangerous Gift. She was an animus dragon who lived during the era of Darkstalker, working for Queen Scorpion before fleeing and becoming a fugitive. She is currently frozen in a block of ice under Jerboa III's hut.

Description

Jerboa looks similar to Jerboa III,[1] but she enchanted herself to stay an average size and slightly larger than her daughter.[2]

Personality

In the early years of Jerboa's life, she was a good, normal dragon.[3] Thorn stated that she believed Jerboa had wisdom and goodness within her heart.[4] She worried about losing her soul and ensured that the decisions she made were not evil.[5] Later in life, her consciousness was still present but very far away, and Jerboa found it easier to push aside morality,[6] eventually disregarding it altogether[7] as her soul gradually faded away.[8] She was easy,[9] lazy[10] and cruel, enchanting other dragons to do what she wanted, serve her, or to do things for her entertainment.[9]

Jerboa yearned for freedom and a dragonet of her own.[5] She was manipulative, controlling, and abusive towards her daughter, Boa, regularly tweaking her personality. She desired perfection, casting many spells on Boa to keep her entertaining, helpful, and obedient.[11][12] She was hypocritical, often critiquing Boa for being lazy while enchanting her to enjoy things that Jerboa did not want to do herself.[10]

Biography

Pre-Series
Eye of Onyx

Jerboa was commissioned by Scorpion to create the Eye of Onyx — an enchanted necklace with an onyx set in the pendant — to keep the queen in power. Instead, Jerboa enchanted the Eye to choose rightful queens regardless of the royal bloodline and kill those who are not worthy to take the throne. She used her power for Queen Scorpion until Scorpion asked for things that would cause large harm to other tribes, including the SkyWings.

Jerboa fled and enchanted an animal's egg to be a dragon egg. She named the dragonet Jerboa after herself, but the dragonet asked to be called Boa to be different from her mother. She started to enchant Boa to do the hard tasks and chores and be agreeable and perfect and reset her to a dragonet many times. Jerboa also abducted dragons from different tribes, enchanting them to be their servants. Jerboa enchanted Boa to "fear animus magic" or "not be interested" but Boa still asked Jerboa for an animus enchanted item; she gave her a shell necklace that would bring Boa to Jerboa any time she wished. They had lived eleven centuries when Boa asked for another enchantment, which was on porcupine quills tied together with a vine that would freeze her prey so she could catch it easier. The next day, Boa pointed the quills at Jerboa, freezing her in place. Boa interrogated Jerboa, asking her how many animus spells were on her. Boa said she found a scroll where Jerboa wrote down all her spells that she wanted on Boa, and revealed that she wrote down for her to be an animus. By that time, the porcupine quills had frozen Jerboa in a block of magical ice, sealing her in forever. Jerboa left one lasting magic effect on Boa: an irreversible spell that would cause Boa to lose a part of her whenever Boa used her magic.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Talons of Power
When Turtle tried to convince Anemone she did not have to be evil just because she was an animus dragon, he mentioned Jerboa as an example of someone who stayed good.
Darkness of Dragons

Thorn told Qibli that she felt that the Eye of Onyx was created by a dragon with "wisdom and goodness in her heart." Later, Smolder explained to Onyx that the Eye of Onyx was made by Jerboa. Thorn later stated her theory on how Jerboa played a trick on the queen, and Jerboa made this clever spell to pick good queens.

In the epilogue, Jerboa III introduced herself as not the original Jerboa, but her daughter.

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Dangerous Gift
Jerboa was in Queen Snowfall's vision, where she saw how Jerboa had started out originally and how she later treated Jerboa III. Jerboa tweaked her daughter's personality to her liking, occasionally even resetting her to a young dragonet. Eventually, Jerboa III found out about all of her mother's enchantments on her and froze her with enchanted porcupine quills. The block of ice in which she was frozen in remained under Jerboa III's hut.

Legends

Darkstalker
While reading Arctic's mind, Darkstalker heard him think briefly of Jerboa when he listed all of the known animus dragons of Pyrrhia.

Field Guides

A Guide to the Dragon World
Jerboa was depicted with her daughter, Jerboa II, in the SandWing chapter of the guide.

Relationships

Jerboa II was Jerboa's first attempt at creating her own dragonet with animus magic. Jerboa later got rid of her because she "went wrong," though the details of this situation are unknown. Jerboa had planned to never speak about her again.[13]

Jerboa III, nicknamed Boa, was Jerboa's second attempt at creating a daughter. Jerboa regularly manipulated her daughter's personality with her magic, making her more agreeable, obedient, helpful, and less annoying.[7] She would enchant Boa to enjoy tasks she disliked,[11] to be a talented cook, to like cooking, to dislike music,[9] to love her mother more,[14] and a variety of other things.[15] Jerboa would also "reset" Boa to a dragonet when she became bored, wiping her memories and reverting her growth.[14] Jerboa was psychologically abusive towards Boa, with Boa even running away several times through the centuries due to it.[16] During Jerboa's final moments, she cast a spell that caused Boa to lose a part of her physical form whenever she used her magic, ensuring that she would never forget her mother.[17]

Jerboa served Queen Scorpion under duress, and fled after refusing to enchant something that threatened the SkyWing tribe.[18] While under her control she was kept away from other dragons,[5] tortured by the queen,[19] and made to enchant her with healing and longevity.[18] She believed that Scorpion would use a dragonet against her if the queen found out she had one.[13]
