'''Sora''' is a shy, small brown female [[MudWings|MudWing]] [[Dragonets|dragonet]] with brown eyes<ref>''The Brightest Night''</ref>. She is one of [[Clay]]'s six siblings, as well as the fourth-hatched dragonet of [[Cattail]], and is a former student at [[Jade Mountain Academy]] in the [[Gold Winglet]]. Sora has a tendency not to talk much, and she spoke even less after the death of her older sister, [[Crane]], who was killed by [[Princess Icicle]] in the battle between [[IceWings]] and MudWings shortly before Clay and [[Queen Glory|Glory]] arrived at the [[Mud Kingdom]]. She was responsible for the deaths of [[Bigtail]] and [[Carnelian]], though both of them were accidental (what she described as "collateral damage") while trying to kill Icicle for revenge of the death of her sister. She was the one who, unknowingly, provided the final match and helped [[Moonwatcher|Moon]] realize that Icicle was the one helping [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] to kill the [[Dragonets of Destiny]]. As of the end of ''[[Moon Rising]]'', she is on the run with [[Umber]], one of her brothers. It is unknown where they are going, but [[Tui T. Sutherland|Tui]] confirmed they were going to return in the third arc. She was described by Umber to be "the smartest" of Clay's siblings.
Student at [[Jade Mountain Academy]]


== Personality ==
|winglet  = Gold Winglet (formerly)
Sora is described as being shy, hard to talk to, and extremely introverted. She was described to be mentally "fragile" by [[Darkstalker]] and has a "calming ritual", where she "pours mud" over all her thoughts, which could be similar to Moon's raindrop method to clear her mind. When she was trying to kill Icicle, she didn't want to feel guilty about it, so she buried her thoughts in imaginary mud, unknowingly blocking her thoughts from Moonwatcher. Sora tended to spend a lot of time at Jade Mountain Academy in the library, as Moon had seen her reading a scroll about IceWings. Similarly to Moon, she likes to read, though their tastes vary considerably.
|clawmates = [[Icicle]] (formerly)


She, like most other MudWings, loved her siblings greatly. She even went as far as to attempt to murder Icicle to avenge her sister, Crane, whom Icicle killed in battle. She was likely mentally traumatized at watching her sibling die and her experiences in war likely mentally scarred her. She may have been mentally unbalanced being Icicle's clawmate, knowing she killed Crane. She seemed to have no regard for other dragon’s lives, as she was willing to risk other dragons being in the history cave when setting a dragonflame cactus bomb off. However, she later showed remorse for her actions, as she was shown to find the guilt unbearable, causing her to run away from Jade Mountain Academy with Umber. Her current location is unknown.

'''Sora''' is an adult female [[MudWing]] who was introduced in ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The Dragonet Prophecy]]''. She served as a soldier under [[Queen Moorhen]] during the [[War of SandWing Succession]] and formerly attended [[Jade Mountain Academy]] as a member of the Gold Winglet. Her current whereabouts are unknown, as she is a fugitive on the run with her brother [[Umber]], after her failed attempts to murder [[Icicle]].


===''[[The Dark Secret]]''===
== Description ==
In the prologue, Sora said that she believed that Clay will stop the war. She had great faith in him, which worried Reed that Clay would be a better bigwings for them and that Crane, their dead sister, would've survived the IceWing ambush if Clay had been there. She and her siblings then debated on joining the [[Talons of Peace]] but they later decided against it.
Sora has brown scales{{Ref|MR|33}} and eyes.{{Ref|TBN|240}} She looks similar to her brother, [[Marsh]].{{Ref|MR|112}}


===''[[The Brightest Night]]''===
== Personality ==
She and her siblings were seen when [[Princess Sunny|Sunny]] and Clay went to the MudWings to send a message to [[Princess Burn|Burn]]. She was torn to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings, since she felt that one of her siblings might die.
Sora is described as being shy, difficult to talk to, and extremely introverted. [[Clay]] described her as the least offensive [[Dragons|dragon]] at Jade Mountain Academy.{{Ref|MR|115}} She is quiet.{{Ref|MR|30}}{{Ref|MR|112}} According to [[Reed]], she spoke more often prior to the untimely death of her sister [[Crane (TDP)|Crane]], an event that led to her deep hatred of Icicle. She was described to be mentally fragile by [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]] and uses a calming ritual in which she imagines pouring mud over all the bad thoughts in her mind. Sora spent a lot of her time at Jade Mountain Academy in the library, as [[Moon]] had seen her reading a [[Literature|scroll]] about [[IceWings]]. Similarly to Moon, she enjoys reading. She was described by Umber as being knowledgeable and smart.


===''[[Moon Rising]]''===
Sora is incredibly loyal to her siblings, which is a very typical MudWing trait. She shows little regard for other dragons' lives during the events of ''[[Moon Rising (book)|Moon Rising]]'', saying that they are just 'collateral damage,' and is willing to go to any lengths to avenge the death of her sister, Crane. However, Sora became increasingly insecure and fragile throughout the series, especially after she unintentionally killed innocent dragons upon avenging her lost sister. Sora is shown regretful and greatly affected, and the pressure eventually forced her to leave the school to avoid any more harm done to any other students. Before her escape with Umber, she showed remorse for her actions and found the guilt unbearable. Despite her guilt, she repeatedly tried to kill Icicle.
Sora was put in a cave with Icicle, the dragon who Sora suspected killed her older sister, Crane, during the [[War of SandWing Succession]]. The dragonets did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school. Ironically, this resulted in the opposite. As the pressure built, Sora attempted to kill Icicle with a [[Dragonflame Cactus|dragonflame cactus]] explosion in the history cave, which failed and killed Carnelian and Bigtail by accident, also injuring [[Tamarin]].
Sora had a severe bout of anxiety, and Moonwatcher said that she was given sleeping darts and was put in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with a stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite area of the prey center by scratching at it until it hung by a thread, and when Icicle's wing brushed it would fall. The plan failed, and when Moonwatcher found out Sora was guilty, she felt terrible, claiming that Icicle was the only target and that she hadn't known that Bigtail and Carnelian would be in the classroom.
Overall, Moon wouldn't have suspected Sora because she was as nervous as her and the strange "calming sessions" in Sora's mind made it impossible to read her thoughts. Afterward, she was forced to flee with her brother, Umber. She told Moon that Icicle had been mumbling about killing dragons in her sleep, not realizing it was really her who communicated with Scarlet with the [[Dreamvisitors|dreamvisitor]].

{{Dropdown

|heading = ''[[Moon Rising (book)|Moon Rising]]''
|content = Upon the opening of Jade Mountain Academy, Sora was placed in the Gold Winglet, where she shared a room and classes with Icicle. The schools' founders did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school, as they thought Sora was not likely to make the IceWing angry, as she was quiet and nice. On the first night, Sora could not sleep because she was so worried that Icicle would kill her like she killed Crane. That night, she overheard Icicle talking about murder in her sleep, and she became convinced that she needed to kill Icicle. After a short time, Sora unsuccessfully attempted to kill Icicle with a [[dragonflame cactus]] explosion in the history cave, killing [[Carnelian]] and [[Bigtail]] in the process.


==Quotes==
After the cave explosion, Sora became so anxious that she was tranquilized and left to recover in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with the stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite part of the prey center by scratching at its base until it was ready to fall when touched. Icicle survived, realized that it was Sora who was trying to kill her and set out for revenge. Moon figured this out from Icicle's thoughts and went to warn Sora.

''"And then everyone was looking at me. Everyone was thinking about me and how awful I am and how much they hate me. They could see right through me, I know they could."'' - to Moon
Sora later asked [[Kinkajou]] to leave her so she could apologize to [[Tamarin]]. Sora was found in the infirmary by Moonwatcher, [[Qibli]], and Umber. Sora explained that Icicle had killed her sister, Crane. She agreed to run away with Umber, who swore to keep her safe, and thought that he would keep everyone else safe from her as well. Before she left, she told Moonwatcher that Icicle talked about killing someone in her sleep, which made her sure that Icicle was working with Scarlet to kill the dragonets.

''"Are we safe; miss Reed; I saw her; can't sleep; not safe anywhere; oh, Crane, I wish you were here." ''- Sora's thoughts.
== Relationships ==
=== [[Icicle]] ===
Sora despised Icicle after she killed her sister, Crane, during the Great War. During her time at Jade Mountain Academy, Sora dedicated her time to conducting Icicle's murder, however both attempts failed. She was afraid that the princess would kill her one day, just as she did with Crane.


''"I'm sorry, Umber. I didn't mean for anyone else to get hurt."'' - To Umber, explaining what she'd done.
=== Siblings ===
Sora loves and is very protective of her siblings, as shown when she tried to avenge Crane by killing Icicle. She is extremely loyal to Reed, their bigwings, and follows his orders. She also thought about her sibs while away from them during her brief time at Jade Mountain Academy.

*A sora is a species of bird that lives in marshes or wet places. Sora is also the Japanese word for "sky".
**However, Sora's name likely refers to the bird instead of the word sky.
*She was said to speak less often prior to the death of her sister, Crane. 
*Sora seems to have a liking towards scrolls, perhaps due to the fact that she can let herself free when reading.
*She seems to be a cautious dragon, shown by her actions of making sure that Icicle was the one who killed Crane, and her attempts to only target Icicle but not others.
*Sora uses imaginary mud to bury her worries and troublesome thoughts away.
**This is similar to Moonwatcher's calming method by using the rain to drown out thoughts.
**It seems that this was able to block Moon from seeing her plans and worries.
**She, therefore, wasn't suspected to be the one attempting to kill Icicle by Moonwatcher until later on in ''Moon Rising''.
*Tui has hinted the possibility that Sora may be the protagonist for a future ''[[Wings of Fire: Winglets|Winglets]]'' book.
*It was suggested that she suffered from PTSD.
*She seems to be mentally unstable, due to traumatic events during the War of SandWing Succession.
**Moon says she is "too fragile for the things she's been through."
*Sora, along with Umber, will most likely eventually make another appearance in the series.<ref>[http://wingsoffire.scholastic.com/forums/topics/296890 Wings of Fire Message Board: Tui Tuesday: Q&A answers!]</ref>

"Our very first night here, when I still wasn't sure — I was almost sure it was her, but I thought I must be mad, and I couldn't let myself sleep because what if she did the same thing to me that she did to Crane? And then in her sleep, she muttered, 'Killing is easy enough.' That's when I knew. She's a murderer and she won't stop until someone does what I failed to do."
— Sora to Moonwatcher about Icicle, Moon Rising

Sora is an adult female MudWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy. She served as a soldier under Queen Moorhen during the War of SandWing Succession and formerly attended Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Gold Winglet. Her current whereabouts are unknown, as she is a fugitive on the run with her brother Umber, after her failed attempts to murder Icicle.

Description

Sora has brown scales[1] and eyes.[2] She looks similar to her brother, Marsh.[3]

Personality

Sora is described as being shy, difficult to talk to, and extremely introverted. Clay described her as the least offensive dragon at Jade Mountain Academy.[4] She is quiet.[5][3] According to Reed, she spoke more often prior to the untimely death of her sister Crane, an event that led to her deep hatred of Icicle. She was described to be mentally fragile by Darkstalker and uses a calming ritual in which she imagines pouring mud over all the bad thoughts in her mind. Sora spent a lot of her time at Jade Mountain Academy in the library, as Moon had seen her reading a scroll about IceWings. Similarly to Moon, she enjoys reading. She was described by Umber as being knowledgeable and smart.

Sora is incredibly loyal to her siblings, which is a very typical MudWing trait. She shows little regard for other dragons' lives during the events of Moon Rising, saying that they are just 'collateral damage,' and is willing to go to any lengths to avenge the death of her sister, Crane. However, Sora became increasingly insecure and fragile throughout the series, especially after she unintentionally killed innocent dragons upon avenging her lost sister. Sora is shown regretful and greatly affected, and the pressure eventually forced her to leave the school to avoid any more harm done to any other students. Before her escape with Umber, she showed remorse for her actions and found the guilt unbearable. Despite her guilt, she repeatedly tried to kill Icicle.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy
Clay meeting his siblings
Sora encountered Clay and Glory just as they were leaving the Mud Kingdom. She, along with the rest of her siblings, stopped them as they were about to leave, and was overjoyed to seeing their brother and true bigwings for the very first time. Sora was the most defensive of Reed's role as the group's bigwings but also begged Clay to stay. However, Clay made peace with them and decided to go with the dragonets of destiny, on the basis that if he stayed, it would challenge their loyalty to Reed. Reluctantly, Sora and her siblings allowed Clay to go to fulfill the prophecy but promised to see them again when they end the war.
The Hidden Kingdom
Sora was mentioned by Glory, when she thought about where the dragonets would go after they fulfilled prophecy.
The Dark Secret
In the prologue, Sora said that she believed that Clay will stop the war. She had great faith in him, which worried Reed that Clay would have been a better bigwings for them and Crane, their dead sister who may have survived the IceWing ambush if Clay had been there. She and her siblings then debated on joining the Talons of Peace but they later decided against it. When Starflight dreamvisited Clay, he dreamt of having a huge feast with his brothers and sisters, and Starflight thought of his sibs as more dragons who they needed to save from the war.
The Brightest Night
Sora and the rest of Clay's siblings were seen when Sunny and Clay went to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. She was torn to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings since she felt that one of her siblings might die.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising

Upon the opening of Jade Mountain Academy, Sora was placed in the Gold Winglet, where she shared a room and classes with Icicle. The schools' founders did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school, as they thought Sora was not likely to make the IceWing angry, as she was quiet and nice. On the first night, Sora could not sleep because she was so worried that Icicle would kill her like she killed Crane. That night, she overheard Icicle talking about murder in her sleep, and she became convinced that she needed to kill Icicle. After a short time, Sora unsuccessfully attempted to kill Icicle with a dragonflame cactus explosion in the history cave, killing Carnelian and Bigtail in the process.

After the cave explosion, Sora became so anxious that she was tranquilized and left to recover in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with the stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite part of the prey center by scratching at its base until it was ready to fall when touched. Icicle survived, realized that it was Sora who was trying to kill her and set out for revenge. Moon figured this out from Icicle's thoughts and went to warn Sora.

Sora later asked Kinkajou to leave her so she could apologize to Tamarin. Sora was found in the infirmary by Moonwatcher, Qibli, and Umber. Sora explained that Icicle had killed her sister, Crane. She agreed to run away with Umber, who swore to keep her safe, and thought that he would keep everyone else safe from her as well. Before she left, she told Moonwatcher that Icicle talked about killing someone in her sleep, which made her sure that Icicle was working with Scarlet to kill the dragonets.
Winter Turning
Sora was indirectly mentioned when Winter thought of Icicle and what happened to her.
Escaping Peril
Sora was mentioned when Queen Ruby demanded to know who caused the history cave explosion, to which Clay reluctantly told her that it was his sister, Sora, who had caused it.
Talons of Power

When Turtle thought of how he missed Umber, he indirectly mentioned Sora when he recalled that Umber fled Jade Mountain Academy with his sister.

Moon also mentioned Sora, saying that not all students were like her.
Darkness of Dragons
When entering the new history cave, Qibli is reminded of the explosion in the old history cave that Sora caused. Qibli noticed that the Gold Winglet had been 'equally decimated' by Sora's assassination attempts.

Relationships

Icicle

Sora despised Icicle after she killed her sister, Crane, during the Great War. During her time at Jade Mountain Academy, Sora dedicated her time to conducting Icicle's murder, however both attempts failed. She was afraid that the princess would kill her one day, just as she did with Crane.

Siblings

Sora loves and is very protective of her siblings, as shown when she tried to avenge Crane by killing Icicle. She is extremely loyal to Reed, their bigwings, and follows his orders. She also thought about her sibs while away from them during her brief time at Jade Mountain Academy.

― to Moon (Moon Rising, page 265)
"Our very first night here, when I still wasn't sure — I was almost sure it was her, but I thought I must be mad, and I couldn't let myself sleep because what if she did the same thing to me that she did to Crane? And then in her sleep, she muttered, 'Killing is easy enough.' That's when I knew. She's a murderer and she won't stop until someone does what I failed to do."
