Jerboa

Template:SpoilerTDG (Not to be confused with Jerboa II, Jerboa's daughter, who appears in Darkness of Dragons.)

Jerboa was an adult female SandWing who was mentioned in Talons of Power. She lived during the time period of Darkstalker, and was an animus dragon who allegedly created several ancient SandWing treasures, including the Eye of Onyx. She eventually fled the SandWing court, becoming a fugitive.

Biography

Pre-Series

Eye of Onyx Jerboa was commissioned by an unknown SandWing queen to create the Eye of Onyx — an enchanted necklace with an onyx set in the pendant — to keep the queen in power. Instead, Jerboa enchanted the Eye to choose rightful queens regardless of the royal bloodline and kill those who are not worthy who try to take the throne. This is presumably the reason Jerboa was forced to flee her tribe and become a fugitive to the law. Jerboa most likely had her daughter, Jerboa II, while she was in hiding.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Talons of Power
When Turtle tried to convince Anemone she doesn't have to be evil just because she is an animus dragon, he mentions Jerboa as an example of someone who stayed good.

Darkness of Dragons
Although not mentioned by name, Thorn told Qibli that she feels that the Eye of Onyx was created by a dragon with "wisdom and goodness in her heart." Later, in the epilogue, Jerboa II introduced herself as not the original Jerboa, but her daughter.
