- "What is wrong with you? Are you hunting or sightseeing? Are you an IceWing or a RainWing? Kill that bear!"
- — Tundra to Winter in the prolouge of Winter Turning.
Template:Infobox Character Princess Tundra is a female IceWing with cold, glittering, stormy gray eyes and pale blue glittering scales, and the sister in law to Queen Glacier due to her marriage to Narwhal. She is a character that first appears in the seventh book in the Wings of Fire series, Winter Turning, introduced as being the mother of Winter, Icicle, and Hailstorm.
Personality
Tundra appears to be solemn, competitive, ambitious, and frosty. Winter mentions that if sister-in-laws could take the throne, she surely would have "thrown down the challenge herself". She appears to be disappointed in her youngest son, Winter, and is willing to force him to take the Diamond Trial (an ancient, mysterious, and deadly ritual) simply to have her older son get back into the First Circle, since she favors Hailstorm more. She seems to care for Winter more than his father Narwhal by thanking him for Hailstorm's return, but still brushes it off. According to Winter, she wears a necklace of SkyWing teeth to seem more intimidating, and it seems to work, since we never hear of someone who is not at least a bit intimidated by her. The necklace's sound apparently always made Winter want to run and hide in a snowbank.
Biography
Tundra, Narwhal, Winter, Icicle, Hailstorm, three attendants, and one of Winter's uncles are all a part of a hunting party. Tundra hisses for the attention of the others, announcing that the hunt is for Queen Glacier herself, and how whoever brought down the first polar bear was to sit beside the queen, while she ate their kill. She shoots an arch look at her daughter, Icicle.
Winter later notes how she observes that he should try harder while hunting during the tense meals shared with his family. She would compare him to Hailstorm while sliding dripping meat down the table.
While Winter is out hunting, he pauses and watches a scavenger. Tundra flies towards him, Icicle and Narwhal following, shrieking at him to kill the bear. Winter attempts to do so, but fails, since his parents roaring scared the prey away and he hesitated too long.
Winter remembers how she would make him do the IceWing guard stance perfectly, every day before he would eat, which according to him wasn't very fun.
Later on in the book, when Winter wakes up, she is next to him and compliments him on bringing Hailstorm back, before cutting him down again by saying it was the least he could do. She then compliments him by telling him it was good he didn't apologize.
She is later seen as the dragon who scratches the names and moves them around the Circle Rankings used to show the dragonet's current rank.
Quotes
“Thank you for bringing Hailstorm home.”
Trivia
- A tundra is a vast, flat, treeless Arctic region, usually occurring in Europe, Asia, and North America, in which the subsoil is permanently frozen, also known as permafrost, making it practically impossible for trees to grow.
- She wears a necklace with SkyWing teeth to seem more intimidating.
