Saguaro

"Very well, you maddening NightWing. Your story has warmed my heart, or perhaps I just need you to go away and stop sliding incriminating notes under your door. So. Midnight tomorrow. Be ready."

— Saguaro on a scroll to Fierceteeth

Template:Charbox Saguaro is a female SandWing guard who seems to be interested in overthrowing Thorn with Fierceteeth. She has a scar across her chest right above her heart. She is apparently a schemer, and connected to "great secret plans". In Prisoners, she exchanged letters with Fierceteeth in the dungeon, who was trying to get Saguaro to help her overthrow Queen Glory, and let her and Strongwings out of prison. 

Biography

Prisoners

Saguaro was a major character in Prisoners. She was the SandWing guard Fierceteeth wrote notes to, trying to convince her to free her. Saguaro is most likely a spy of some sort for Vulture's Talons of Power, as it was stated in the books that Fierceteeth saw her drawing maps of the dungeon and doing more suspicious actions that she could tell the other guards about. Saguaro refuses to do anything with freeing Fierceteeth at first, but Fierceteeth later convinces her. At the end of Prisoners, Saguaro frees Fierceteeth and Strongwings.

Talons of Power

In the ninth book of Wings Of Fire, Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and a group of SandWings try to assassinate Queen Glory of the RainWings. Darkstalker, however, saves the queen and creates a prison for her to keep them in. Saguaro is most likely one of the SandWings Darkstalker captured.

Trivia

• Fierceteeth remarked that Saguaro would stand in dark corners and whisper to someone who wasn't there, much like Onyx did.
• Saguaro never physically appears in Prisoners.
