'''Mayfly''' is a female [[MudWings|MudWing]] doctor working in [[Possibility]]. She appears to be kind, except towards [[IceWings]], whom she seems to have a grudge against, most likely due to the frostbreath injuries she received during the [[War of The SandWing Succession]], as noted by [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]]. She is first introduced in Possibility when [[Prince Hailstorm|Hailstorm]], Winter, [[Qibli]], and [[Moonwatcher]] went in search of help for [[Kinkajou]] after she had been injured by [[Chameleon]] in his [[NightWings|NightWing]] form, Shapeshifter. She was said to be the best doctor in all of Possibility by a [[SandWings|SandWing]] named [[Meerkat]], but it is unknown how many other doctors there are, or if there are any other doctors at all, apart from [[Typhoon]]'s father.

She was seen diagnosing Kinkajou's injury in Possibility. Mayfly was referred to be "the best doctor in Possibility", according to Meerkat. When the dragonets arrived at the clinic, Winter was surprised to see that she was a MudWing. 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, such as being tread over by hippos, and not the result of being attacked by a dragon with super-strength. She continued to pursue the course, but after Moon kept insisting its actual cause, she subsided, grumbling about how there was no shame in her other suggestions.

She observed that Kinkajou, with white scales, had originally looked like an IceWing to her, offending Hailstorm. Mayfly harshly told Winter and Hailstorm to stop blocking the light, shoving a foul-smelling jar in their faces for emphasis. Her hostility towards the IceWing brothers was most likely because of her dislike of IceWings in general (since she had fought and been injured by them before, a frostbite injury on her back leg). She has also been shown to have something to do with the mysterious '[[The Enclave|Enclave]]'.

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.
