Carnelian

Template:Infobox CharacterCarnelian was a former female SkyWing warrior with battle-scarred, scarlet-colored scales, red wings and orange eyes. On Queen Ruby's orders, she reluctantly attended the Jade Mountain Academy in the Jade Winglet and shared a cave, and was clawmates with Moonwatcher and Kinkajou. She was a loyal soldier to Queen Ruby and was only attending the academy because she was ordered to, though she believed she should be guarding the SkyWing Palace instead. She was killed with Bigtail in an explosion set by Sora.

Biography

Moon Rising

Moonwatcher saw Carnelian in the sleeping quarters and realized that the SkyWing would rather fight in battles than go to school with other tribes by reading Carnelian's mind. Carnelian complained about how Kinkajou talked all day and Moon talked at night, and she glared Flame due to his past involvement with the Talons of Peace. When Peril entered the mountain, Moon looked for the most calm mind during the arrival. Moon found that it was Carnelian's, as she was wondering if Peril remembered her. compared to other dragon's minds screaming that Peril was coming to kill them. Later, while Moon and Qibli tried to stop her from going into the history cave, she ignored them and walked in anyway, allowing Sora's dragonflame cactus to kill her along with Bigtail.

When Carnelian first met her claw-mates, she refused to tell them her name. Kinkajou suggested they call her "Friendly" until they discovered her real name. Moon said that she "thought her name was Carnelian", a name Kinkajou dubbed "pretty".

Personality

Carnelian was grumpy and preferred fighting over learning. She constantly wanted Queen Ruby to take her out of the school and let her go back to the SkyWing Palace to defend it. Despite her harsh attitude, Moon saw from reading Qibli's observant mind, that Carnelian was secretly worried that Ruby and the others would think she was dumb and all of her hopes of advancing to general would be ruined. Carnelian was a bit violent and put up a proud front, but she was secretly insecure. She did not like other dragons at all and rarely interacted with anyone, Umber being a slight exception due to the fact that Carnelian recalled how the MudWings and the SkyWings had been allies in war. She was fiercely loyal to Queen Ruby. Also, her favorite color was red.

Quotes

"I'm with igloo-face. If we're supposed to get all snuggly with each other, there shouldn't be any more secrets. Let's make her tell us everything" - to the rest of Jade Winglet about Moon.

"You're noisy." - to Kinkajou.

"I'm a loyal subject of Queen Ruby. I'm in the camp that believes Queen Scarlet is dead, and if she isn't, I'd be happy to kill her to protect my queen's throne. I'm here because my queen told me to be, although I should be training with my battalion and guarding her palace, not eating wet fish with a bunch of spineless dragonets. And my favorite color is red." - when asked to tell Tsunami and Jade Winglet about herself.

"I might literally die of joy." - a sarcastic comment after Kinkajou proposed they hang painting in their sleeping cave.

"I have fought in fourteen battles! No one giggles at me! Least of all a RainWing who can't even read and knows nothing about war!"

"You're an idiot, SandWing. It's perfectly fine in there." - one of her last lines, to Qibli, before the explosion that kills her.

"Three moons, yes. And that's exactly what I mean. It is so annoying. One of them talks all day and the other one yammers all night."

"I'm a warrior. A loyal soldier in Ruby's army, who never did anything to deserve this...this punishment of schooling and being forced to live with Ditzy and Mumbles over there." - about school, Moon, and Kinkajou.
