'''Sora''' is a shy, small brown female [[MudWings|MudWing]] [[Dragonets|dragonet]] with brown eyes<ref>''The Brightest Night''</ref>. She is one of [[Clay]]'s six siblings, as well as the fourth-hatched dragonet of [[Cattail]]. She also is a former student at [[Jade Mountain Academy]] in the [[Gold Winglet]]. Sora has a tendency not to talk much, and she spoke even less after the death of her older sister, [[Crane]], who was killed by [[Princess Icicle]] in the battle between [[IceWings]] and MudWings shortly before Clay and [[Queen Glory|Glory]] arrived at the [[Mud Kingdom]]. She was responsible for the deaths of [[Bigtail]] and [[Carnelian]], though both of them were accidental (what she described as "collateral damage") while trying to kill Icicle for revenge of the death of her sister. She was the one who, unknowingly, provided the final match and helped [[Moonwatcher|Moon]] realize that Icicle was the one helping [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] to kill the [[Dragonets of Destiny]]. As of the end of ''[[Moon Rising]]'', she is on the run with [[Umber]], one of her brothers. It is unknown where they are going, but [[Tui T. Sutherland|Tui]] confirmed they were going to return in the third arc. She was described by Umber to be "the smartest" of Clay's siblings.

Sora is described as being shy, hard to talk to, and extremely introverted. However, she was said to speak more often prior to the death of her sister, Crane. It was suggested that she suffered from PTSD due to traumatic events during the War of SandWing Succession. She was described to be mentally "fragile" by [[Darkstalker]] and has a "calming ritual", where she "pours mud" over all her thoughts, which could be pretty similar to Moon's raindrop method to clear her mind. When she was attempting to kill Icicle, she tried to suppress her guilt, burying her thoughts in imaginary mud, unknowingly blocking her thoughts from Moonwatcher. Sora tended to spend a lot of time at Jade Mountain Academy in the library, as Moon had seen her reading a scroll about IceWings. Similarly to Moon, she likes to read, though their tastes vary considerably.

She, like most other MudWings, loves her siblings greatly. She even went as far as to attempt to murder Icicle to avenge her sister, Crane, whom Icicle killed in battle. She was likely mentally traumatized at watching her sibling die and her experiences in war likely mentally scarred her. She may have been mentally unbalanced being Icicle's clawmate, knowing she killed Crane.  


She seemed to have no regard for other dragon’s lives, as she was willing to risk other dragons being in the history cave when setting a dragonflame cactus bomb off. However, Sora is shown to be cautious, having made sure that Icicle was the one who killed Crane, and her attempts to only target Icicle but not others.
Sora is incredibly loyal to her siblings, a MudWing trait. She has little to no regard for other dragon's lives in ''Moon Rising'', where she is willing to go to any lengths to avenge her sister, Crane. She later shows remorse for those actions, and finds the guilt unbearable.

Sora encountered Clay and Glory just as they were leaving the Mud Kingdom. She, along with the rest of her siblings, stopped them as they were about to leave, and was overjoyed at seeing their true [[bigwings]] for the very first time. Sora appeared to be the most defensive of [[Reed]]'s role as the group's bigwings, but also begged Clay to stay. However, Clay made peace with them and decided to go with [[the Dragonets of Destiny]], thinking that if he stayed, it would challenge their loyalty to Reed. Reluctantly, Sora and her siblings allowed Clay go to fulfill the prophecy.

Sora was arranged in the same winglet with Icicle, the dragon who Sora suspected killed her older sister, Crane, during the [[War of SandWing Succession]]. The dragonets did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school. Ironically, this resulted in the opposite. As the pressure built, Sora attempted to kill Icicle with a [[Dragonflame Cactus|dragonflame cactus]] explosion in the history cave, which failed and killed Carnelian and Bigtail by accident, also injuring [[Tamarin]].
Sora was placed in the Gold Winglet, where she shared a room and classes with Icicle. The dragonets did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school. After a short time, Sora attempted to kill Icicle with a [[Dragonflame Cactus|dragonflame cactus]] explosion in the history cave. This failed, killing Carnelian and Bigtail and injuring Tamarin.
Sora had a severe bout of anxiety, and Moonwatcher said that she was given sleeping darts and was put in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with a stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite area of the prey center by scratching at it until it hung by a thread, and when Icicle's wing brushed it would fall. The plan failed, and when Moonwatcher found out Sora was guilty, she felt terrible, claiming that Icicle was the only target and that she hadn't known that Bigtail and Carnelian would be in the classroom.
After the cave explosion, Sora became so anxious that she was tranquilized and left to recover in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with a stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite part of the prey center by scratching at it's base until it was ready to fall when touched. Icicle survived this attempt, realizing that it was Sora who was trying to kill her and setting out for revenge.
Overall, Moon wouldn't have suspected Sora because she was as nervous as her and the strange "calming sessions" in Sora's mind made it impossible to read her thoughts. Afterward, she was forced to flee with her brother, Umber. She told Moon that Icicle had been mumbling about killing dragons in her sleep, not realizing it was really her who communicated with Scarlet with the [[Dreamvisitors|dreamvisitor]].
Sora was found in the infirmary, apologizing to Tamarin, by Moonwatcher, Qibli and Umber. Sora explained that Icicle was the IceWing who killed her sister, Crane. She agrees to run away with Umber, who swears to keep her safe, and thinks that he will keep everyone else safe from her, as well. As she leaves, she tells Moonwatcher that Icicle talked about killing in her sleep, and that this was what made her sure that Icicle killed Crane.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

Clay meeting his siblings

Sora encountered Clay and Glory just as they were leaving the Mud Kingdom. She, along with the rest of her siblings, stopped them as they were about to leave, and was overjoyed at seeing their true bigwings for the very first time. Sora was the most defensive of Reed's role as the group's bigwings, but also begged Clay to stay. However, Clay made peace with them and decided to go with the Dragonets of Destiny, thinking that if he stayed, it would challenge their loyalty to Reed. Reluctantly, Sora and her siblings allowed Clay go to fulfill the prophecy.

The Dark Secret

In the prologue, Sora said that she believed that Clay will stop the war. She had great faith in him, which worried Reed that Clay would be a better bigwings for them and that Crane, their dead sister, would've survived the IceWing ambush if Clay had been there. She and her siblings then debated on joining the Talons of Peace but they later decided against it.

The Brightest Night

She and her siblings were seen when Sunny and Clay went to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. She was torn to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings, since she felt that one of her siblings might die.

Moon Rising

Sora was placed in the Gold Winglet, where she shared a room and classes with Icicle. The dragonets did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school. After a short time, Sora attempted to kill Icicle with a dragonflame cactus explosion in the history cave. This failed, killing Carnelian and Bigtail and injuring Tamarin. After the cave explosion, Sora became so anxious that she was tranquilized and left to recover in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with a stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite part of the prey center by scratching at it's base until it was ready to fall when touched. Icicle survived this attempt, realizing that it was Sora who was trying to kill her and setting out for revenge. Sora was found in the infirmary, apologizing to Tamarin, by Moonwatcher, Qibli and Umber. Sora explained that Icicle was the IceWing who killed her sister, Crane. She agrees to run away with Umber, who swears to keep her safe, and thinks that he will keep everyone else safe from her, as well. As she leaves, she tells Moonwatcher that Icicle talked about killing in her sleep, and that this was what made her sure that Icicle killed Crane.
