Crane (TDP)

"We lost our sister Crane. Six days ago, in the battle by the river."

— Reed to Clay about Crane, The Dragonet Prophecy

(Not to be confused with Crane, the MudWing queen who lived 2,000 years ago during the time period of Darkstalker.)

Crane was a young female MudWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy. She was a member of Clay's sib group and a soldier in Moorhen's army who was killed by Icicle during battle.

Appearance

Crane was small and thinner than an average MudWing, with brown scales.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

Crane was killed in a battle between the IceWings and the MudWings at the Mud Kingdom's border, which took place two days before Clay and Glory reached the area, leaving Clay to wonder how many of his siblings would still be alive when the war ended. She was killed the same day Clay battled Fjord in the SkyWing arena.

The Dark Secret

While patrolling the borders of the Mud Kingdom, Reed wondered if Crane would have still been alive if Clay had been their bigwings instead of him. Reed doesn't like to think about the battle since it makes him feel "like a huge pit has opened up inside of him that he just wants to fall into." He feels bad about it and doesn't want it to be true, but it is true.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising

Crane was mentioned in Moon Rising when Sora asked Kinkajou to leave so she could apologize to Tamarin alone, who was seen crying when Moonwatcher, Qibli, and Umber came rushing in. When Moon read Sora's mind, a flashback was seen where Crane had saved Sora from an IceWing. Crane was then killed by Icicle, who smiled at Sora as she screamed for her murdered sister. Icicle was Sora's clawmate at Jade Mountain Academy. Because of Crane's death, Sora had tried to kill Icicle to get revenge. However, she failed both times — once with a dragonflame cactus and the other with a stalactite on the roof of the prey center. One murder attempt accidentally killed Carnelian and Bigtail, and severely injured Tamarin.
