- "I will lead my tribe to safety."
- — Battlewinner, The Dark Secret
Template:Charbox Battlewinner was an adult female NightWing queen introduced in The Dark Secret. Before the NightWing Exodus, she was the ruler of the NightWings and was described in A NightWing Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia to be "a closely guarded secret." She froze to death after leaving her lava cauldron in an attempt to attack Glory and Starflight.
Appearance
Battlewinner has black scales that gleam like polished ebony against her pool of lava, with buzzing white stem rising from them[1]. She has dark eyes with a glint of icy blue in them, and her teeth are the same shade of blue, looking more like icicles than regular teeth[1]. Her throat and tongue are lined with pale blue frost, oddly glinting swirling patterns that are feathery or sharp[2]. She has heavy shoulders[2], a thickset neck, and a battle-scarred snout[1], and she is as big as Morrowseer[3]. Her voice is creaky, quiet, rough, and eerie, like claws scraping on ice several caves away[1].
Biography

|
At one time, possibly after the initial eruption of the NightWing Volcano that destroyed part of the fortress, Battlewinner led expeditions to find a new home for her tribe. During one such venture, she was attacked by an IceWing, possibly due to the two tribes' bitter rivalry. She escaped alive, but the IceWing blasted her in the mouth with frostbreath, which should have frozen Battlewinner from the inside out. The only reason that she didn't die immediately was her ability to breathe fire: her internal fire reservoir counteracted the ice long enough for her to fly back to the island. In desperation, she dove into a lava pool, hoping to die quickly, but instead, it created a balance where the external heat prevented the ice from killing her. However, this left her unable to ever leave the lava without the ice completely encasing her body and becoming an ice statue, and then dying. To prevent other dragons from learning of her weakness, Battlewinner had a hidden room created behind the NightWings' council chamber and lived in a cauldron filled with lava as big as two Morrowseer's. This way, she could watch her tribe and make her image more mysterious and powerful. When she "speaks", she uses her daughter, Princess Greatness, as a voice. |
