Asha

"That's Asha, all right. She was always softhearted and mushy about crazy things. She loved mooning around little dragonets, telling them the story of that prophecy. She left a lot of blithering, obsessed dreamy-eyed dragons behind in this village, let me tell you; they still won't shut up about destiny and peace and all of that."

— Cattail to Clay about Asha, The Dragonet Prophecy

Asha was an adult female MudWing mentioned in The Dragonet Prophecy. She was a member of the Talons of Peace and was Cattail's sister. Asha died of her wounds that she received from the crossfire between Blaze's and Blister's armies after successfully delivering Clay's egg. Before her death, she was assigned by the Talons of Peace to be one of the guardians of the dragonets of destiny.

Personality

Cattail described Asha as "always soft-hearted and mushy about everything" and that "she left a lot of blithering, obsessed, dreamy-eyed dragons behind in the village." This implies that she had a lot of hope in the prophecy, and wanted others to have that same hope too. Cattail continued, claiming she was always "mooning around little dragonets" which suggested she was maternal, unlike other MudWings in her tribe. Clay reflects on how his aunt's presence would have improved the dragonets' lives, and how she likely would have taught him more about MudWing customs and traditions.

Biography

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

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

In the prologue, Webs said that Asha was dead and that she had died of battle wounds. Later, Asha was mentioned by Cattail, her sister, when Cattail was explaining how she sold Clay's egg to the Talons of Peace for two cows. Clay realized that having Asha alive, as one of their guardians would have meant that they would have had a kind adult who cared about them and who would have told Clay about MudWing traditions, which meant that having Asha in the cave would have improved the lives of the dragonets of destiny. Asha also would have known why Clay "attacked" the other eggs when they hatched, eliminating quite a bit of verbal abuse and wrongful expectations from Kestrel in his life. Cattail said that her siblings would be pretty upset at the death of Asha and that it served her right for leaving their bigwings.
