'''Mayfly''' is a female [[MudWings|MudWing]] doctor described to have mud0brown scales and a wide, flat head <ref>''Winter Turning'', page 210</ref>.

She appears to be kind, except towards [[IceWings]], whom she seems to have a slight grudge against, most likely due to her injuries she likely accumulated during the [[War of The SandWing Succession]]. She is a doctor in the small town of [[Possibility]] where [[Hailstorm]], Winter, [[Qibli]], and [[Moonwatcher|Moon]] went in search of help for [[Kinkajou]] after being injured by [[Chameleon]] in his [[NightWings|NightWing]] form, [[Shapeshifter]]. She was said by [[Meerkat]] to be the best doctor in all of Possibility, but it is unknown how many others there are, or if there are any others at all.

She was seen diagnosing Kinkajou's injury in Possibility. Mayfly was the supposedly "best doctor in Possibility", to Winter's surprise. She was also very skeptical on the true reason Kinkajou was there, and was fairly certain that the cause of her injuries was something more realistic and not the result of being attacked by a dragon with superstrength.


She observed that Kinkajou, with white scales, looked like an IceWing. Hailstorm was offended, saying that she did not. Mayfly harshly told Winter and Hailstorm to stop blocking the light, shoving a foul-smelling jar in their faces for emphasis. Her hostility was most likely because of her dislike for IceWings (since she has fought and been injured by them).

Biography

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Winter Turning

After Kinkajou was attacked by Chameleon in his powerful NightWing form Shapeshifter, her friends sought out a doctor in Possibility. A dragon named Meerkat led them to Mayfly, whom he proclaimed was the best doctor in Possibility. Moonwatcher brought Kinkajou into Mayfly's office while the others waited outside. While they were waiting, Hailstorm overheard Mayfly telling Moonwatcher that she initially thought Kinkajou was an IceWing, as her scales were white. He stuck his head through the window, retorting that Kinkajou looked nothing like an IceWing, and Mayfly angrily snapped at Hailstorm and Winter for blocking the light, placing a foul-smelling jar on the windowsill for emphasis. After seeing Kinkajou, Mayfly was doubtful that a dragon could have caused the RainWing's injuries. She eventually accepted their story and took Kinkajou and Moonwatcher inside her workplace.
