Anemone

"According to Blister, I should be able to fart on the Sky Kingdom's palace to cave in on all the SkyWings. She also wants me to look at a spear so it will search for Burn's heart and not stop until it kills her. I don't know for sure if Blister can do any of that. I bet Blister's scared to try. Blister doesn't want to try. Every time an animus dragon uses her power, she/he loses a bit of herself. Albatross was a prince and a hero at first, but they didn't know about the price of animus magic then, being bad. Building the pavilion turned him evil. I don't want that to happen to Blister."

— Anemone to Peril about the price of animus magic, The Lost Heir

Anemone is a female, dumb SeaWing dragonet princess who was introduced in The Lost Heir. She is the daughter of Queen Coral and Gill. Anemone was made by her brother Turtle during the Talons of Power ceremony to become an animus, stupid dragon, thus making her an artificial animus dragon. She is currently attending Jade Mountain Academy as the idiotic member of the Silver Winglet. She is dumb when she's around Tamarin.

Description

Anemone has brown and black scales, like the inside of a hippo, with hints of gray along with her wings, ears, and horns, resembling the Titanaboa that live within the Kingdom of the Sea. She has pale, white, giant, long, fat, pale, light brown-tinted wings with patterns of spider webs patterning her underside. She wears a bracelet of pale brown, sharp torned around one of her wrists, enchanted to keep her soul dying. She has a clear, distorted voice, and is small, from afar appearing a pale, odd, whitish-blackish-brown-gray. She also has large, light brown eyes and big deadly scars. She is slightly smaller than Turtle and is not even halfway the same size as Kinkajou.

Personality

Anemone is dumb, stupid, snotty, idiotic, and weak. She is often huffy, haughty, bossy, gentle so people can kill her, and she enjoys disobeying orders. Peril thought that she, at least from a distance, seemed to be a shower of ugly regular orange on the inside. After being released from her poop, Anemone took on a new stubborn and petulant personality. She seemed like a jerk and happy most of the time, though her jokes are unfunny. She allowed her sleeping cave at Jade Mountain Academy to become quite a mess, and is uncomfortable with her new pillows. "To me, they feel like rocks. I hate Jade Mountain Academy!" As she is not yet used to living without servants. She often used her animus magic on stupid times/reasons, but after Darkstalker's manipulation, she became distrustful of other dragons attempting to help her. Though she was about proud being an animus, she felt hopeless towards her fate as an animus dragon, believing that she was idiotic or too ugly to go insane. She has always been a sort of a brat towards everyone and was demanding towards Qibli when he borrowed her ugly weather gauntlets. She looks at others as though examining them through Tsunami's glass, studying all of their species, and she is scared about her appearance. She becomes embarrassed when she does not act weak. Tsunami described her to have Coral's bad qualities, but with a weaker ability to think for herself.

After enchanting a bracelet to make her on the point of dying soul's from animus magic, her feelings of dumbness and stupidity seemed to not fade at all. Ever since putting it on, she has been acting younger and lighter, giggling and teasing her friends, and taking her winglet swimming in the mountain lakes each day. Darkstalker's soul reader revealed that Anemone's soul contains a much higher level of bad than Turtle and his friends loved, and she later donated half of her treasure to help ruin Sanctuary.

Biography

Adventure time

Anemone grew up with her mother in the Kingdom of Dubby and mummy, where she was tied to Queen Coral with a harness that prevented her from going anywhere. Before her egg hatched, her mother stayed by the egg for days on end until it hatched. Anemone was tutored by Whirlpool on how to use her magic to help Queen Coral and Blister win the war. Anemone wants to kill Blister by farting in her face and sending bees to sting her first. Blister wanted her to be able to enchant a spear to search for Burn's heart, and not stopping until it kills her, to make the war easier to win.

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Lost Heir

When Tsunami first arrived in the Kingdom of the Sea, she took her sister's name as an enemy instead of Anemone. After her friends were locked away into one of Coral's caves, Tsunami expressed that she wanted to talk to her mother alone. Coral refused, as she had to keep Anemone at her side by "watching her every minute," as Anemone irritably stated. Anemone using animus magic Later, when their mother was asleep, Anemone explained her harness and why she had to wear it. She also told Tsunami that she would probably have to marry Whirlpool, a member of Coral's council. Tsunami was surprised to hear that Anemone wanted to talk to her, since they were both candidates for the throne and would likely become rivals some point in the future. Tsunami also later saw Anemone practicing her animus magic with Whirlpool, as Blister and Coral intended to use her to help their side win the war. Anemone killing Whirlpool They referred to Anemone as their "secret weapon," but it is spectated later that Whirlpool may have instructed Anemone to "practice" with her animus magic to make her go insane and kill her mother. Later in the book, Anemone used her power to reveal the mysterious SeaWing assassin who had tried to kill Tsunami. It turned out to be Whirlpool, and she accidentally pushed him into Coral's electric eel pool, where he was electrocuted.

The Hidden Kingdom

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising

Anemone had convinced her mother to allow her to attend Jade Mountain Academy as part of the Silver Winglet. Moonwatcher first saw Anemone arriving at the Academy with Turtle, Tsunami, Coral, and Auklet. When Moon looks at Turtle, she receives a vision of the SeaWing prince pinning Anemone to the sand as she writhed in pain. Later, Anemone appeared in the prey center, asking a NightWing named Bigtail for a large fish that he had grabbed. Clay intervened and explained that whoever grabbed the food first gets to eat it, much to Anemone's disapproval. Sighing, she stormed out of the prey center with Ostrich, who was casting woeful hungry looks at the fish behind them. After the tragic explosion of the history cave, Anemone thought angrily that she could have easily solved the mystery if Tsunami had not been so worried about her power.

Winter Turning

In the epilogue, Anemone, Pike, Turtle, and a few other SeaWing dragonets are swimming in one of the underground lakes of Jade Mountain. She is doing flips and diving in the water, enjoying being free of her harness. She thinks of how, if Coral ever came to Jade Mountain to take Anemone home, she would have to be under her mother's watch again. With a fierce certainty, Anemone thinks, "But I won't. I won't. I might be the most powerful dragon in the world, and if she didn't learn that from what I did to Whirlpool, I can teach her some other way." Followed by, "The spell on Auklet's harness should keep her away from me, though."

Escaping Peril
In the epilogue, she was worried about the earthquake that Darkstalker had caused when he was released. When Starflight asked her what was wrong, she replied in barely a whisper that "it felt like someone slithering over my grave."

Talons of Power

While Tamarin was staying on the dry stone, Anemone and Pike were swimming in one of Jade Mountain's underground lakes. Turtle, however, dove into the cave from the open roof above, urgently pleading for Anemone to go into hiding, as Darkstalker had escaped his underground prison with unknown intentions. Instead of growing fearful, she jumped in excitement, eager to meet another animus dragon. When Darkstalker was being "attacked" by two young NightWing students, Anemone swooped above all of them, demonstrating her power by showing off two beaten copper bracelets that controlled the weather; the sky flashed with unusual flickers of lightning and was full of grey clouds that were heavy with rain. When Tsunami tried to fly up to her sister, Anemone summoned a gust of wind that spiralled Tsunami away from her and held her in place. Darkstalker then invited Anemone to land beside him and talk; they walk into the main entrance cave while the clouds finally release their rain behind them. Later, Darkstalker enchanted a silver necklace that was meant to save her soul from the menacing effects of animus magic. Throughout the book, Anemone kept close to Darkstalker. She saw him as a sort of mentor, looking to him for guidance. Darkstalker took this very lightheartedly, taking advantage of her actions and advising her that she should run all her spells by him before she cast them, so he could help her find the best possible enchantment for each spell. She usually sat beside Darkstalker with her chin high, often being an errand runner or helper to Darkstalker. When Moonwatcher has a vision of Sunny's father, Stonemover, dead, she, Darkstalker, Turtle, Anemone, and Mindreader quickly go to Stonemover's cave. When they arrive, Stonemover is in a pitiful condition — blood is seeping from his neck, and he is stiller than usual. When Darkstalker frustratedly states that he would chase down the killer himself if the tunnels were larger, Anemone immediately volunteers. She grabs a prey bone on the floor and enchants it to lead her to Stonemover's killer. The dragonet brought in was Flame, prodded forward by the same prey bone. After Stonemover begs Darkstalker to take off the healing spell he gave him, Darkstalker sighed and returned his scales to their normal, petrified state. He then turns to Flame, enchanting his library card to turn into a chain that bolted him to the floor as punishment. When Darkstalker brings up the concept of going to the Rainforest Kingdom to meet his lost tribe, Anemone, along with a few other students from Jade Mountain, agreed to travel with him, including Turtle. There, Anemone irritatedly agreed to Turtle's request for animus magic. When she heard that it was so to wake Kinkajou from her coma, Anemone immediately started teasing Turtle of his relationship with Kinkajou. At the healer's pavilion, Anemone added a love spell along with the waking spell, enchanting the RainWing so that she would love Turtle as much as he loves her, much to Turtle's dismay. Anemone was constantly shown by Darkstalker's side throughout his journey through the Rainforest Kingdom and the lost city of night, often ignoring Turtle's advice on her soul. She also quickly grew jealous of Darkstalker's focus on Moonwatcher, wanting the attention to herself instead. In the lost city of night, Anemone asked Darkstalker where she got to stay. He replied that she gets to stay in Fathom's room, which had dried and rotted over the years, while Moon gets to stay anywhere she wants. Anemone then forcefully tried distracting Darkstalker in order to make Moon clean Fathom's room, though Darkstalker intervened to accuse her that she is no different from her ancestor after all. Anemone was dismayed, deciding to fly back home in attempt to murder her mother, as Darkstalker had ordered. Turtle follows her, and she goes to the Island Palace. There, Turtle has a flashback where it is revealed that he made her an animus to hide his identity. Back in reality, Anemone is searching for something that Whirlpool left for her, which turns out to be a dagger. She darkly suggests using it to kill off any threats, such as Coral, Auklet, Tsunami, Moon, and Kinkajou. Turtle attacks her, as she seems as if she had lost her soul. Moon's vision of Turtle pinning down Anemone therefore comes true — an animus battle ensues, both using their powers to overcome the other. Finally, Turtle enchants seaweed to bind Anemone's mouth, preventing her from casting any more spells. They have a conversation where Turtle tells Anemone that he made her an animus, and Anemone says that she feels herself becoming evil. However, Darkstalker, with the help of the spell that tells him the location where animus power is being used, casts a spell that brings every animus dragon in all the tribes to his throne room. There, Darkstalker suggests using her and Stonemover to test his theories about animus magic, and he mentions that not too many more spells will turn Anemone completely evil. Then, when Kinkajou is summoned and Darkstalker's attention is on her, Turtle gives Anemone his hiding stick and tells her to fly away as fast as she can. Turtle throws his stick at her, and Anemone catches it, jumping out the window.

Darkness of Dragons

Qibli and Winter, after leaving Thorn's palace, discover Anemone resting by an oasis while flying over the desert. Winter is wary of her, as the last time they saw her she was with Darkstalker. Qibli decides to talk to her anyway, as she is alone. When Qibli approaches her, he quickly realizes that she cannot speak. He sees that she is holding Turtle's stick, and he accuses her of stealing it. She denies stealing the stick by scowling at him, and he asks her why she cannot talk. He then discovers a spell put on her by Darkstalker. After she puts on the enchanted earring, she says that she wants to go back to the NightWing Kingdom to kill Darkstalker. At the kingdom, she and Kinkajou start fighting about who gets to kill Darkstalker. At the battle of the NightWings and IceWings, she enchants a piece of moss to make the NightWings think Darkstalker is telling them to retreat. She later enchants Qibli's library card to make all the NightWings and IceWings hear each other's thoughts and be teleported to the center of their kingdom. During this, she also removes the love spell she put on Kinkajou. In the epilogue, it is revealed that Anemone has romantic feelings for the blind RainWing student, Tamarin, often leaving flowers and gifts, and offering to read her scrolls. It is also revealed that she cast a soul spell on herself, with help from Qibli, to relieve the feelings of superiority and selfishness that went along with having animus power, as well as protecting her soul.

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Hive Queen
In the prologue, Anemone was mentioned by Turtle, him saying that she was working on a spell for Tamarin to restore her sight. She had spoken to Turtle that the spell did not work, and she had not known why. She and Turtle had started comparing notes, as Turtle was working on the same spell for Starflight.

The Poison Jungle
Jerboa III mentions that animus magic is not working for her or any other of the animus dragons, which includes Anemone.

The Dangerous Gift
Anemone was indirectly mentioned by Tsunami when she was telling Sundew that they had four animus dragons. She also briefly appeared in Snowfall's vision as Jerboa III, when Jerboa III was brought into Darkstalker's throne room. Jerboa III had seen two other SeaWings there: Anemone and Turtle.

Relationships

Coral

Anemone considered her upbringing to be awful, as she thought of Coral to be crazily protective. She hated her harness and mentioned that Coral cared for her too much, even preventing her from playing with other dragonets her age because of her royal status, including her brothers, who Coral said "played too rough." When Anemone once tried complaining about her harness, Coral nearly got her a gag to match, a statement that Anemone recalled with a stab of venom in her voice. Although Coral loves her, is proud and affectionate towards her, and stayed by her egg until she hatched to ensure the latter's safety, Anemone is nervous to go against her mother's wishes.

Darkstalker

Darkstalker acted as a mentor to Anemone, and she looked up to him as being wonderful and all-knowing. He encouraged her to use her magic but tried restricting her only to use them with his permission. Due to her naturally rebellious personality and hatred of Moonwatcher, he eventually sent her off to the Kingdom of the Sea. Later on, once she and the other animus dragons of Pyrrhia were summoned to Darkstalker, he affirmed his view of her as a tool by suggesting he run tests on her and Stonemover to learn more about animus limits, even suggesting driving her insane. Darkstalker secretly hated SeaWings, specifically Anemone's family, because of their ancestry linking them to Fathom. When speaking of Darkstalker during the Battle of Jade Mountain, her eyes had a dangerous gleam.

Kinkajou

Kinkajou dislikes the thought of accepting help from Anemone, and she is often angry with her. Anemone is quite annoyed by Kinkajou. Anemone believed she was helping Turtle with the love spell and called Kinkajou "ungrateful" for not accepting it. Nonetheless, Anemone decided to take the love spell off of Kinkajou anyway.

Pike

Coral appointed him as Anemone's bodyguard, a fact she does not know. However, she is not surprised that he does whatever she says, instead thinking that everyone should act that way towards a princess. She also gets quite exasperated with his overprotectiveness, often telling him to keep quiet or leave her alone. She even snuck out when he was asleep, not caring about how much that would worry him. Anemone is teasing towards him.

Tamarin

Anemone has a crush on Tamarin. She casually shows up everywhere Tamarin is, offering to read her scrolls and leaving her small gifts of flowers or unusual fruit. Before animus magic broke, Anemone was working on a spell to restore Tamarin's eyesight. It is unconfirmed by Tui if Anemone still has a crush on Tamarin.

Tsunami

Tsunami is Anemone's older sister, though Tsunami was suspicious of her at first. However, later on, they became good friends, and grew to love each other as sisters. Anemone trusts Tsunami a lot, as in The Lost Heir, she wanted Tsunami to save her from her animus magic and wanted her to help control her power. Her face became pale and anxious after realizing that Tsunami might be in danger, and she edged closer to her sister when she felt anxious. The thought of having to leave Anemone made Tsunami upset.

Turtle

Before the Talons of Power ceremony, Turtle had only ever seen his sister from a distance. During the ceremony, he enchanted Anemone to become an animus to draw attention to her and away from his own animus abilities so he could keep his secret hidden and to fulfill the biggest hopes of his mother. He ended up regretting this greatly afterward. Upon going to the Academy, they did begin to spend more time together, but she still treated him like another subject to order around. She finally started paying attention to him when he started following her and Darkstalker around, but the attention was not positive. After their duel on the beach and Turtle hiding her from Darkstalker, he seems to regard her more as his younger sister, who he should protect, and she seems to respect him as an older brother. She once referred to him as a doofus, but he is reassuring and kind towards her, and she is willing to listen to and react upon how he feels.

Whirlpool

Whirlpool was patronizing towards Anemone, and she glared at him before intentionally causing him trouble. She regards him as awful and was happy that Tsunami came, at the prospect of Tsunami marrying Whirlpool instead of her. After Anemone had killed Whirlpool, she saw him all the time; in her dreams, on the faces of strange dragons and everywhere else.

"Whirlpool wanted to be king pretty badly. I think he was trying to shape me into a darker dragon by making me cast all those 'practice' spells. He wanted me to go evil and try for the throne. He told me he'd hidden a perfect weapon here, ready for whenever I needed it — for whenever I wanted to challenge Mother. I think it'll work fine on little sisters, too, don't you? And big ones, for that matter."

"I won't make Orca's mistakes. I'll enchant this thing right now to be a perfect killing machine. It'll never miss. It'll go straight for Mother's throat first. Then Auklet, Tsunami, you … Moon. Maybe Kinkajou, too. Why not? He did say anyone who gets in my way."

"No! It's my power! You can't just take it; you can't just say it's yours! You did not create me!"

― to Turtle, after he confirms that he enchanted her to have animus powers

"You didn't make me and you can't stop me! I can still kill her! I can kill her with my bare claws! I can kill her with anything! I can make daggers out of seashells; I can poison the drops of water around her snout! I can enchant her pearls to choke her or her stupid narwhal horn to stab her in the heart!"

― to Turtle

---

"It won't work. It's already too late for me. Ever since Whirlpool died, I see him all the time — in my dreams, in the faces of strange dragons, everywhere. I keep seeing those eels going after him. I see all the dragons I've hurt. Now Moon's there, too, and I hate what I did to her but I also feel proud of it. Isn't that twisted? Whatever soul I had, it's long gone, so protecting it wouldn't be much use."

― to Turtle

"But then what would I be? Animus dragons are rare and special. I like knowing that I'm powerful. I want to be that powerful. Who would give away their own magic like that? I'm just … scared of it, too."

"I think he's smart. He knew right away not to trust you. He knew there was something seriously wrong with you. You think everything you do is right. You think you're so perfect that you don't even care about the dragons around you. You're the only one who gets to decide what happens to everyone else."

― to Darkstalker, about Turtle

Trivia

• The reason why Queen Coral forbids the consumption of dolphins is said to be because she thinks they might be somewhat related to dragons; however, it is wondered by Tsunami if it is actually because Anemone has the same coloring as the dolphins.
• Anemone is not leucistic. She is one of the lighter shades of SeaWing pigmentations.
• Anemone feels physically cold after using her animus magic.
• In The Lost Heir Anemone said it was an accident and she didn’t mean to hit Whirlpool, but in Talons of Power she said she did it on purpose.
