Jerboa II

Template:Charbox(Not to be confused with Jerboa, her mother and the "original" Jerboa from Darkstalker's time.)

Jerboa is a female SandWing that appeared in Darkstalker's throne room, when he cast a spell that summoned all the animus dragons in Pyrrhia to him. She lives in a hut on a beach, near the border where the Kingdom of Sand meets the Ice Kingdom. Peril mentions that the borders are known as the wasteland between the Ice and Sand Kingdoms. In The Hidden Kingdom, the Dragonets of Destiny and Jambu fly past it.

Appearance

Jerboa has pale yellow scales. She is said to be tall, long-necked and graceful, with wide black eyes and a dappled light brown triangle pattern on her wings.

Personality

Jerboa is quiet and thoughtful, similarly to Moonwatcher, and also appears to be kind and considerate. While being an animus, she doesn’t seem to use her magic much. She is shown to welcome and trust others easily, such as taking care of Luna; and welcoming Moon and Qibli into her hut, despite them being strangers. She seems to not like animus magic very much.

Biography

Talons of Power

Jerboa was first seen in Darkstalker's Palace briefly by Turtle when she was summoned along with all other existing animus dragons. Jerboa then disappeared, leading Turtle to believe he imagined her.

Darkness of Dragons

She makes another mysterious appearance in the epilogue of Darkness of Dragons when she led Moon and Qibli into her home to meet her. She then confirms to the two dragonets that she is the daughter of the first Jerboa, and that she is immortal. Jerboa shows them an injured dragon, who she has been taking care of. The dragon is Luna, a SilkWing from Pantala.

The Lost Continent

Jerboa appears in the epilogue when she finds Luna, lost and severely injured on one of the Kingdom of Sands beaches. Jerboa says that it is lucky Luna speaks Dragon. She introduces herself to Luna, and Luna does the same. Jerboa brings the lost SilkWing to her home and offers her fish stew, but Luna declines saying that she doesn't eat meat. She welcomes Moon and Qibli when they arrive and brings them to Luna (as seen in the Darkness of Dragons epilogue).

The Hive Queen

Her hut is mentioned twice in the prologue. She is also mentioned when Tsunami asks if she can enchant something for Luna to get back to Pantala, but Moonwatcher says that she is an animus that doesn't use her magic.

The Poison Jungle

In the epilogue, Jerboa II is seen flying to the IceWing Palace to meet Queen Snowfall. It's revealed that Jerboa II knew the current Queen's late mother as Jerboa thinks how Queen Glacier usually arrived before she did when they met up. Queen Snowfall, already paranoid about getting attacked, is panicking about the sight of over a hundred dragons flying in from across the ocean. She wants Jerboa to expand the Great Ice Cliff, but Jerboa stops her, proving that her animus magic did not work anymore. It was also said that after the queen snowfall flew away in a fit of rage, she thought to herself: "Completely useless. [...] Yes. Just like I've always wanted.", prompting the idea that she cast the spell that prevented animus spells from being cast.
