Pike

"But the princess wants that fish!"

— Pike to Clay in Moon Rising.

Template:Charbox Pike is a skinny male SeaWing with livid grey-blue scales and a nick on one ear. He is part of the Gold Winglet as a student of Jade Mountain Academy. In Talons of Power, it's confirmed that he is a covert guard who was sent by Queen Coral to protect Anemone. 

Personality

Throughout Moon Rising, Pike gets into small fights over small matters, mostly when Anemone doesn't get what she wants. He is fierce, protective, completely loyal to Anemone, and tries to seem tough even though he is really just compassionate (hence seen trying to comfort Tamarin). According to Moonwatcher, his thoughts begin then trail off, each interrupting each other, much like a raging rhinoceros. As Turtle stated, he tries too hard in combat classes and often hurts himself in the process, hinting that he might be a strong fighter, which might be why he was Princess Anemone's covert guard.

Pike also seems to be taking his job seriously, as shown when he finds out Anemone left the Academy. He is terrified of what gruesome punishment Queen Coral would give him for failing his mission. He also seems to doubt Turtle's strength and intelligence as well, not being reassured when Qibli told him Turtle had gone off with the young SeaWing princess. He said that Turtle was the worst prince in Pyrrhia.

Biography

Moon Rising

Pike first appeared when he came close to fighting with Carnelian, thinking that she may have been a part of the army that destroyed the Summer Palace. Clay soon stepped in and stopped them, sending Carnelian to her room and taking Pike with him for a walk.

He later appeared in another argument when Anemone requested to have the fish that the NightWing Bigtail, also Pike's clawmate, had already selected. When Bigtail hesitated, saying that he had already chosen it, Pike leaped to Anemone's defense, telling Bigtail to give it to her. Clay came over and stopped him, but Pike told Bigtail that he would pay for what he did.

After the explosion in the history cave occured, Pike saved Tamarin from dying by submerging her body in the underground lake, which he learned by watching other SeaWings after the Summer Palace was destroyed by Burn's forces.

At the assembly, Moonwatcher read his mind and realized that Pike thought himself as Anemone's guard. He also thought of Tamarin, pitying her. Pike was suspected to be assigned by Queen Coral to protect Anemone, even though she herself was one of the most dangerous dragons at Jade Mountain Academy. This was confirmed in Talons of Power.

Talons of Power

Pike was shown swimming in the underground lake with Anemone and Tamarin when Turtle came to warn his sister about Darkstalker. He was seen to be kind towards Tamarin and cared about her well being, as well as protective to Anemone, as usual. Anemone said that he was sleeping outside of her door when she left to go to the rainforest. He was also in Turtle's flashback of the Talons of Power ceremony, wanting to help Anemone. He is shown as a three year old during the Talons of Power Ceremony and noted to take training too seriously, often fighting too hard in training sessions and frequently hurting himself accidentally.

Darkness of Dragons

Pike burst into the history class searching for Anemone. When he heard that Anemone has followed Darkstalker, he clutched his head in horror and exclaimed that he had to go after her. He commented that Coral was going to feed him to the sharks for losing her. Webs forced him to stay for the class as they had enough students missing already.
