Asha

Template:Charbox Asha was a female MudWing and a member of the Talons of Peace. She was Cattail's sister, and therefore Clay's aunt, as well as the aunt of his siblings. Cattail described Asha to be very kind, and stated that she would tell stories to dragonets about the Dragonet Prophecy. Asha died of her wounds after being caught in the crossfire between Blaze's and Blister's forces while bringing Clay's unhatched egg to the Talons' secret mountain hideout.

Biography

Pre-Series

Asha was the dragon who brought Clay's blood-red egg to the Talons of Peace. However, she was badly injured due to being caught in the crossfire of a skirmish between Blister's and Blaze's forces and died shortly after arriving at the Talons' secret location under the mountain.

The Dragonet Prophecy

Asha was mentioned by Cattail, her sister, when Cattail was explaining how she sold Clay's egg to her for at least two cows. Clay realized that having Asha alive and as one of their dragon guardians would have meant that they would've had a kind adult who cared about him and told him about MudWing life, which meant that having Asha at the cave would've improved the Dragonets of Destiny's lives. Asha also would have also known why Clay "attacked" the other eggs when they hatched, eliminating quite a bit of verbal abuse from Kestrel in his life. Cattail said that her siblings would be pretty upset at the death of Asha.

Personality

Cattail claimed that Asha was "always softhearted and mushy about things" and that "she left a lot of blithering, obsessed, dreamy-eyed dragons behind in the village." This appears as though Asha was kind and sensitive, and had a lot of faith in the prophecy. She was portrayed as gentle and caring, as well as possibly a good maternal figure. Clay reflects on how her presence would have improved the dragonets' lives.

Trivia

• Asha is the Zoroastrian concept of "truth, order", as well as a man-made simulated diamond.
• The name "Asha" also means hope or life which is most likely why Tui T. Sutherland picked her name, because Asha was filled with hope about the success of the prophecy.
• It is somewhat ironic for Asha to be called that, as she dies within the prologue of the first book of the first arc.
• In the annotated version of The Dragonet Prophecy, Tui said that she might tell Asha's story someday, perhaps in a Winglet e-book.
• It seems Asha cared more about the well being of dragonets than the average MudWing.
• Asha is the sister of Cattail.
• If Asha had survived her wounds, she would've been a guardian of the Dragonets of Destiny and also Clay's aunt.
• She would have also have been Clay's teacher about the ways of the MudWing tribe.
• She was the second dragon to die in The Dragonet Prophecy.
