- — Sky to Wren, Dragonslayer
Sky is an adult male SkyWing who was introduced in Dragonslayer. He was hatched with an inability to breathe fire and is much smaller and weaker than normal SkyWings. He is the son of Chameleon and Kestrel, and the twin brother of Peril. He is currently flying across the sea on the journey from Pyrrhia to Pantala as one of the eleven selected representatives.
Appearance
Sky is skinny,[1] with pale orange scales[1] the color of the palest sunset over the mountains.[2] His eyes are a pale, watery blue, like a frosted-over puddle.[3] He has a crooked daisy chain wound around his horns.[4]
Personality
Sky is goofy, kind, and gentle in nature, as well as giggly and excitable. Despite his normally soft nature, he is capable of becoming jealous and even angry, especially when those he love are in danger. He loves all animals, especially small creatures with shells (such as snails, hermit crabs, and baby turtles), and becomes protective or excited when he sees them. He is a vegetarian, likely because of his love for animals. He is also somewhat insecure about his inability to breathe fire. Wren describes him as smart and perfect. Snowfall said that Mink reminds her of him.[5]
Biography
| Pre-Series |
|---|
| Kestrel and her newly-hatched twin dragonets were met by Queen Scarlet at the Diamond Spray River. Scarlet offered Kestrel forgiveness for her former disobedience if she killed one of her dragonets. Kestrel was believed to have killed Sky, the dragonet with too little fire, but it is probable that Kestrel hoped Sky would survive the river, considering she went searching for him shortly after his "death." Before Kestrel could reunite with him, however, Sky was rescued from a tangle of bushes downriver by Wren, after the dragonmancers attempted sacrifice. Wren was unaware of Kestrel and Sky's kinship, and as Sky appeared to be afraid of Kestrel as they watched her search, it can be assumed that he believed his mother had real intention to kill him. |

More than seven years after being separated from her kin, Peril realized the truth about Kestrel being her mother and about the supposed death of her twin brother during Kestrel's trial. Peril rejected Kestrel for Sky's supposed death at her talons, claiming "I may not want you dead, but I don't want to know you." When Clay asked Peril to save Sunny for them, Peril jealously asked why Sunny was so important to Clay and his friends. Clay told her that Sunny was like a sister to them all, and asked if Peril would try to save her brother if he was here and alive. Peril thought for a moment and agreed that she would try to help. This shows that Peril and her brother might be friends if they meet in the future, or that Peril may feel a connection to her brother despite never knowing him. |

Sky appears when he and Wren help rescue Daffodil from the scavenger enclosure in Sanctuary, with him distracting the queen. After Snowfall confronts them, Wren reveals to her that she can speak Dragon, much to the queen's shock. Sky teases Wren by saying that she's his pet, much to her irritation, and laughs when he finds out that Daffodil was named Pumpkin. After Snowfall faints, having another vision, Sky introduces himself and the other humans. After Snowfall mentions that she wants to show the humans to the others, Sky convinces the initially reluctant Wren to meet them, saying that it would help establish dragon and human communication. He teases her again by asking if they have any cute hats and Wren agrees to come back with Snowfall. The group returns to the enclosure where the other dragons are waiting. Wren tells the other dragon present that she can speak Dragon, surprising them, and Wren complements her speaking the language well. After Snowfall tells the others about the abyss, Qibli suggests bringing Wren and Sky with them to communicate with the humans in Pantala. Wren initially refuses, saying that Sky is not much of a fighter and expresses concern that he'll be taken over by the breath of evil. Sky is shown to not be paying too much attention to the conversation, focusing on a chipmunk nearby, and jokes about Leaf having bad breath. After Wren declares that she wants to keep Sky away from any danger, he reassures her by saying that he'll just do the talking. Snowfall convinces Wren to come with them by saying that her and the other queens will pass an edict forbidding dragons from hunting and eating humans in exchange for her help, a plan that Sky strongly agrees to. Later on, as a ceremony is being held for the Pantala stealth team, Snowfall watches Sky. He is visibly excited to go with them and she worries about him heading into danger. After Snowfall destroys the gift of order and talks with Opal, Lynx is mentioned to be flying with the other representatives to Pantala, with Sky among them. |
Legends

Sky was found by Wren and rescued by her from a tangle of thorny bushes. Afterward, Sky and Wren spotted Kestrel looking for Sky. Since Sky panicked at the sight of the older dragon, Wren concluded that Kestrel was a threat to both of them, so they hid from her. After Kestrel left, Wren and Sky fled towards the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, where they began to live in hiding. A year later, Wren and Sky stumbled on a hole in the top of a mountain where they spotted the dragonets of destiny in a cave below. Sky lamented on his inability to breathe fire before being interrupted by Kestrel and Webs. Sky panicked at the sight of Kestrel, and they left the hole. Some time later, Sky traveled to a dragon city with Wren, likely the city of Possibility. He was captured by General Sandstorm as a gift for Burn's weirdling tower, and was taken to the SandWing stronghold. Wren followed them with the help of Deathbringer, and freed Sky from his chains with a key obtained by Rose. Soon after, while Wren was riding Sky, Cereus appeared, unknowingly carrying Leaf on her back. Leaf and Wren were happily reunited, but Leaf ultimately decided to go back to Burn's stronghold. Wren had trouble talking to Cereus, as she cooed about how adorable Wren was and how she wanted to "snuggle her and put little hats on her." Sky had to explain to Cereus about Leaf riding back on her. Sky continued to tease Wren about how she would look better in a little hat, to which Wren responded that she would make a hat that Sky wouldn't be able to resist. Wren used Sky to intimidate the citizens of Valor and to expose Heath, who falsely took credit for killing Oasis. Ivy claimed that he was a sand dragon looking to avenge his queen, which successfully scared Heath into confessing his lies. Wren also returned to Talisman alongside Sky, using him to terrify the dragonmancers as well as exposing their greed. |
Relationships
When Ivy suggests to go into Valor to terrify the citizens of Valor and expose Heath, Sky doesn't exactly agree with it, asking what her plan even was. They seem to be friends with each other.
Kestrel was his mother. He was afraid of her, shown when Wren rescued him from the river and she flew over them, roaring. Sky believes that his mother wanted to kill him.
Sky seems to be friends with Leaf. While their friendship is not as strong as his relationship with Wren, the two appear to be on friendly terms.
Peril is Sky's fraternal twin. Sky is currently unaware of their relationship since they were only infants the last time they'd seen each other, and Peril, like the rest of the SkyWings, believes that their mother killed him with her own claws under Scarlet's orders.
General Sandstorm became an enemy of Sky's when he captured the latter and brought him to Burn's Stronghold.
Sky and Snowfall are shown to interact a lot. They are on good terms and are friends.
Sky was found by Wren after he survived Kestrel's attempt to "kill" him. Initially, Wren was a mother figure to him, raising him and teaching him her language. As they grow up, Sky considers Wren an equal and teaches her some of Dragon as well, and they have developed a "hybrid language" between them. The two often rely on each other and no one else since they grew up alone.
