| '''Luna''' is a female [[SilkWing]] [[dragonet]] and the main protagonist of ''[[The Flames of Hope]]''.{{Ref|Event|https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugwz69jlFvVMtLH0O6t4AaABCQ}} She is a [[flamesilk]] [[Dragons|dragon]] and is currently in a relationship with [[Swordtail]]. She currently resides in the [[LeafSilk Kingdom]] and was formerly under the control of the [[Othermind]].
| |
| | |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| Luna has pale,{{Ref|TLC|4}} pearly,{{Ref|TPJ|111}} bright green scales{{Ref|TLC|4}} of an elegant caterpillar color{{Ref|TLC|236}} that are lined with golden flecks along her back and tail.{{Ref|TLC|33}} Before her [[Metamorphosis]], she had whorls of cobalt and gold in her wingbuds.{{Ref|TLC|5}} She now has pale green wings{{Ref|TPJ|123}} that look beautiful, like cascading petals of green sunlight.{{Ref|TLC|259}} She has long, furling antennae and scales like sliced gems.{{Ref|THQp}} From afar, she appears as a pale green shape with bits of white, gold, and blue.{{Ref|TDG|83}} She is smaller and lighter than Pineapple.{{Ref|TFoH|247}}
| |
| | |
| == Personality ==
| |
| Before her Metamorphosis, Luna had always felt ready for life with wings and the change that would come with them.{{Ref|TLC|2}} [[Blue]] considers her to be the smartest [[Dragons|dragon]] in their family.{{Ref|TLC|5}} She is reckless,{{Ref|TLC|10}} unworried,{{Ref|TLC|12}} fierce,{{Ref|TLC|296}} bubbly,{{Ref|TLC|36}} and cheerful.{{Ref|TLC|19}} She yearns for change and independence, and is aware of how unfairly the SilkWings are treated. She is often difficult and impertinent towards dragons she dislikes,{{Ref|TLC|22}} and it is unlike her to apologize to authority{{Ref|TLC|41}}. [[Sundew]] describes Luna as great{{Ref|THQ|21}}, gives off a survivor vibe, and is able to take care of herself.{{Ref|THQ|22}} However, like her brother, she does think and care about how her actions would affect other dragons, such as when [[Chafer]] hurried Blue and Luna out of a [[Cicada Hive#Marketplace|candy store]] in [[Cicada Hive]], Luna gave a pair of scales for their honey drops despite Chafer telling them to simply leave.{{Ref|TLC|25}} She cares about dragons who are in danger,{{Ref|TLC|281}} and she is not easily frightened.{{Ref|THQp}} [[Moonwatcher]] noted that Luna's mind is somehow more entangling than other dragons, and that she is slightly intense.{{Ref|THQp}} As much as Luna thought the idea of setting someone on fire with her flamesilk was fun, she found the idea of hurting a real dragon extremely scary.{{Ref|TFoH|4}} She felt guilty for days when she accidentally hurt [[Jerboa III]] with her flamesilk.{{Ref|TFoH|37-38}}

| |
| |content = In the epilogue, Luna was being tended to by Jerboa III, injured from a storm that blew her from Pantala to Pyrrhia. She was lying on a bed of palm fronds and was noted to sit up and eye Moon and [[Qibli]] warily as they entered. She was said by Jerboa III to be the first visitor from the Lost Continent.

| === The Lost Continent Prophecy ===
| |
| {{Dropdown

| |align = left
| |
| |heading = ''[[The Lost Continent (book)| The Lost Continent]]''
| |
| |content = Luna first appeared when she woke Blue, excited to get her wings. He told her she technically had a few days until her wings grew, and she responded by turning Blue's hammock over, dumping him onto the webs. Luna spent the day with Blue, apparently enjoying herself, although he noted that her silk glands were glowing very brightly. She mentioned to Blue that they hurt a bit. He worried that this was not normal and tried to make her see a doctor. She argued back, saying that every Metamorphosis is a bit different and she did not want to waste her "perfect last day" getting examined by a [[HiveWing]] doctor that thought SilkWings were "weird and revolting." Blue relented, and they traveled to the [[Cicada Hive#The Mosiac Garden|Mosiac Garden]], where they visited the Salvation Wall. They had a brief discussion about the mosaic, then played hide-and-seek and went to an art gallery until Luna said they needed to get to the [[Cicada Hive#The Cocoon|Cocoon]] as quickly as possible, because she was starting to enter her Metamorphosis trance. Upon arriving at the Cocoon, they met with Swordtail, Io, and Burnett who all came to support her, but took notice of her glowing glands and became concerned. She was much less rebellious than usual when the guards told her she was late though she was on time, and she began to spin her cocoon with flamesilk, a scarce ability. The guards surrounded her immediately, and, despite Swordtail's best efforts, she was taken away.
| |
| | |
| Luna's cocoon was discovered by Blue when he was thrown into the [[flamesilk factory]], and she soon woke up, marveling at her new wings. She used her silk for the first time and accidentally lit a stack of her father's, [[Admiral]]'s, letters aflame. Shortly after she emerged, Blue notified her that their friends were there to rescue them. After failing to convince Admiral to come, she escaped with Blue, and they, along with [[Cricket]], Sundew, and Swordtail, escaped from the Hive down the [[LeafWings]]' tunnel.
| |
| | |
| When they reached the end of the tunnel, she and Swordtail decided to go flying for a bit, only to run into some HiveWing soldiers. They began to fight, and Luna attempted to use her flamesilk on one of the soldiers, only for the wind to catch and tangle it, creating a sail of sorts that got swept up in the winds of the approaching storm, carrying her off over the sea.
| |
| | |
| When Jerboa III found her in the epilogue, Luna had just awoken, injured, and half-covered by sand on a Pyrrhian beach. She asked Jerboa III who she is, and Jerboa III was relieved that Luna could speak [[Languages#Dragon|Dragon]]. Jerboa III took Luna to her [[Jerboa III's hut|hut]], where she met Moon and Qibli. She was shocked by how much Moon looked like [[Clearsight]] and then learned that Moon could see the future, like Clearsight, and says that her tribe needed her. She then thought, ''"We're coming for you, Queen [[Wasp]]. And now we have a dragon who can ''really ''see the future. The reign of the HiveWings is over."''

| |content = In the prologue, Luna walks over to sit next to Moon in the sand. Luna was extremely excited about meeting a [[NightWing]], as she thought very highly of their powers. Luna also had very high expectations of what this power could do to the HiveWings and how it would help them on their quest to stop Queen Wasp. She told Moon that in [[Languages#Pantalan|the old language]] her name meant "moon." She also told her that she was worried about Blue and Swordtail. As Moon talked about [[The Lost Continent Prophecy]], Luna noted that she knew the secret in the [[Book of Clearsight]], and guessed what some of the lines meant. She was also very anxious to get home and was strongly disappointed when [[Turtle]] and [[Tsunami]]'s arrival suggested hesitation towards the next step. Luna also presented many solutions to the problem of Queen Wasp, which were more or less rejected by Moon and the others for their excessive levels of nastiness.

Although he was pleased to be reunited with his sister, he still missed Luna. They also learned from Tsunami and Turtle that Luna had ended up in Pyrrhia.

| |content = Luna was briefly mentioned by Swordtail, who thought about how he wanted to fly over the ocean to her. She later appears when [[Snowfall]] and the Pantalans arrive at [[Jerboa III's hut]]. She first mistakes Snowfall for a SilkWing, then notices Sundew and Cricket and is delighted to see them. She hugs Sundew and then asks where Blue and Swordtail are. When Sundew says that they are not there, Luna puts her face in her talons and is about to burst into tears until [[Willow]] tells her that they are still alive. Sundew added on that they can still save them, and Luna was cheerful again, declaring that she was ready to travel across the ocean to save them. Sundew told her that crossing the ocean was not the hard part of saving them, and Luna then hugged [[Bumblebee]] and told Sundew, Cricket, and Willow to tell her about what happened. Luna is later seen using her flamesilk to cut the SilkWings' wristbands off. Some time later, Snowfall came over to Luna and asked her to use her flamesilk on her ring. Luna lifted her chin, asked if she was the one who kicked her tribe out of the [[Ice Kingdom]], and Snowfall replied that the SilkWings would not be here without her. Luna rolls her eyes and uses her flamesilk on the ring, which does nothing. Luna said she was sorry that it was not working. At the [[queen]] council, Tsunami explains how Luna had came to Pyrrhia, and then Luna had jumped in and explained the political system on Pantala. Luna is mentioned later to have convinced [[Hazel]] to let her be the SilkWing representative on the journey to Pantala.

The Pyrrhia-Pantala Representatives are on a beach near Jerboa III's hut, and are about to leave for Pantala, but must wait for [[Lynx]]. Luna gives Jerboa a crude wooden carving of the two of them as a thank you gift, before being requested by Tsunami, who has let Cricket use a [[dreamvisitor]]. Tsunami tells Luna how to use the dreamvistor and Luna contacts Swordtail with it. She learns that Swordtail is in Cicada Hive and Io has been captured.

| | |
| == Relationships ==
| |
| === [[Blue]] ===
| |
| Despite having very different personalities, Luna is shown to love and care about her half-brother. On Luna's Metamorphosis Day, Blue is the dragon that she chose to spend her time with. Blue often allowed others to push him around to keep the peace, which was something she loved about him but also drove her up a wall.{{Ref|TFoH|28}} She also notices almost right away how much Blue had changed during the time she was in her Cocoon, saying, "Wow, […] It really was a long five days, wasn't it?" When Luna emerged from her Metamorphosis in the Flamesilk Cavern, Blue cried with joy because he had missed her very much.{{Ref|TLC|260}} She is affectionate towards him{{Ref|TDG|184}}{{Ref|TLC|263}} and has always been able to read him.{{Ref|TLC|270}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Cricket]] ===
| |
| Luna was initially distrustful of Cricket. Though Luna knows that Cricket is a safe HiveWing, she still gets a small shiver at the sight of the HiveWing.{{Ref|TFoH|8}} A small part of her was angry that Blue and Swordtail had fallen into Queen Wasp's Hivemind and not her.{{Ref|TFoH|9}} When Cricket tried to get close to Luna to try and talk to her, Luna usually found an excuse to fly with the other representatives instead.{{Ref|TFoH|21}} Luna was surprised when Cricket opened up about her feelings, as it was not a "HiveWing thing" to do.{{Ref|TFoH|96}} Luna later recognized that Cricket was her own individual dragon, instead of just another HiveWing.{{Ref|TFoH|144}} At the end of ''The Flames of Hope'', Luna introduces Cricket to her moms as a member of her family.{{Ref|TFoH|316}}
| |
| | |
| ===[[Dusky]]===
| |
| Luna cares for Dusky, enough to fly into the abyss to save him. She allowed Dusky to stay with her so he wouldn't get lost.{{Ref|TFoH|121}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Jerboa III]] ===
| |
| Jerboa III is the first dragon Luna met when she came to Pyrrhia. The two dragons express a neutral relationship; Jerboa also helped Luna when she was wounded, so Luna sees her as a friend.{{Ref|TLCe}} At the beginning of ''The Flames of Hope'', Luna gave Jerboa III a gift as a thank you for taking care of Luna.{{Ref|TFoH|7}} Jerboa III didn't react much to the gift as she wasn't accustomed to normal dragon interactions{{Ref|TFoH|7}}, something Luna related to.{{Ref|TFoH|7}} When Luna tried to take the gift back, Jerboa III batted her away, insisting it was her weird-looking art fail.{{Ref|TFoH|8}} Luna promised that she would make a better gift for Jerboa III once the world is fixed.{{Ref|TFoH|8}}
| |
| === [[Lynx]] ===
| |
| Luna thinks Lynx is "too smiley."{{Ref|TFoH|21}} However, she still trusts her enough to rely on her while invisible.
| |
| | |
| === [[Moonwatcher]] ===
| |
| Luna seems to be closer to Moon than other Pyrrhian dragons. She seemed thrilled to learn about Moon's ability to see the future, and believes Moon is the secret weapon the SilkWings and LeafWings need to destroy the HiveWings. She got very excited when she first saw Moon, thinking she was Clearsight. During their flight back to Pantala, Luna thought negatively of Moonwatcher as she did not fit Luna's image of an intimidating, mystic prophet.{{Ref|TFoH|20}} When Moon revealed that she had mind-reading powers to Luna, Luna did not know whether not to be mad at Moon for keeping it a secret or feel guilty over the terrible things she thoughts she had about Moon.{{Ref|TFoH|271}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Pineapple]] ===
| |
| Luna described Pineapple as her "favorite new Pyrrhia friend."{{Ref|TFoH|21}} Pineapple found Sky to be delightful, unlike the other Pyrrhian dragons, which made Luna like him even more.{{Ref|TFoH|27}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Qibli]] ===
| |
| Luna found Qibli to be too hilarious and nowhere near serious enough.{{Ref|TFoH|21}} Qibli reminded Luna of Swordtail in some ways, as they both were funny and talked a lot when they were nervous.{{Ref|TFoH|29}} She also saw little things about him which reminded her of Blue, as they both wanted to be liked by everyone and make everyone happy.{{Ref|TFoH|28}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Snowfall]] ===
| |
| Luna finds Snowfall to be "a flipping terrifying dragon."{{Ref|TFoH|26}}
| |
| | |
| === [[Swordtail]] ===
| |
| Luna is in a relationship with Swordtail and is shown to care a lot about him. Swordtail loves her,{{Ref|TLC|41}} and when HiveWing guards took Luna away during her Metamorphosis, he vaulted towards her and tried to protect her.{{Ref|TLC|46}} When Swordtail met Luna before her Metamorphosis, she leaned into him as though she had been flying for days and Swordtail was the island she had been searching for.{{Ref|TLC|39}} Blue believes that Swordtail puts dangerous ideas in Luna's head,{{Ref|TLC|13}} but she claims that she is the one who introduces the ideas to Swordtail.{{Ref|TLC|27}} The pair is devastated when they are separated.
| |
| | |
| === [[Tsunami]] ===
| |
| Luna thought that Tsunami would be useful for fighting the HiveWings.{{Ref|TFoH|22}}
