Template:Infobox CharacterQueen Battlewinner was the last-known official queen of the NightWings that was actually a NightWing. The name "Battlewinner" most likely refers to her ability to fight, or military strategy. Her name is classified as "a closely guarded secret" in A NightWing Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia.
Biography
Pre-Series
It is possible that after the initial eruption of the NightWings' volcano, Battlewinner possibly led expositions for a new home for her tribe. During one such venture, she was attacked by an IceWing. She escaped alive, but the IceWing blasted her in the mouth with its freezing-death breath, which should have
frozen Battlewinner from the inside out and killed her. The only reason why she didn't die immediately was her ability to breathe fire; her internal fire reservoir counteracted the ice long enough for her to fly back to her tribe. In desperation, she dove into a lava pool, which created a balance that prevented the ice from killing her. However, this left her unable to ever leave the lava without the ice finishing her.
To prevent other dragons from learning of her weakness, Battlewinner had a hidden room created behind the NightWing's council chamber. This way, she could watch her tribe and make her image more mysterious and powerful. When she "speaks", she uses her daughter, the regal Princess Greatness, as a voice.
She had only been mentioned, not by name, when Queen Scarlet speaks to Morrowseer, suggesting that the NightWing queen should come discuss the matter of Starflight with her. Morrowseer then hissed and told her not to anger the NightWings.

Starflight and Fatespeaker crept into Battlewinner's private chambers behind a wall and found that she lived almost full-time in a pool of lava. After Starflight burst out about the scientific impossibility of surviving these conditions, the queen explained more about her reasons for keeping herself hidden. She was planning to wage war on the RainWings in lava-heated armor designed by Mastermind so she could lead the battle. However, she attempted to attack Starflight and Glory, and the balance between fire and ice in her body tipped when she got out of the lava. Despite Mastermind's efforts to save her, Battlewinner froze to death within seconds.
After her death, almost all of the the NightWings swore loyalty to Glory, who became the first RainWing queen of the NightWings.
