Cobra

"Just trying to teach my idiot son a lesson."

— Cobra, to Thorn

Template:Charbox Cobra is an adult female SandWing and the mother of Qibli, Sirocco, and Rattlesnake. While Sirocco and Rattlesnake bullied Qibli and stole his food, Cobra never seemed to notice or care, and most of the time that she did pay attention to Qibli she spoke and acted unkindly. She was a talented assassin who resided in the Scorpion Den, and she was respected and feared by many. Everyone in the Kingdom of Sand suspected one of her nefarious poisons responsible for two deaths at one of Scarlet's parties, and another for Queen Oasis' own sister, although no one could ever prove it. However, along with rumors of her stealth and assassination skills, she was also notorious for hating dragonets, even her own. Most of the Outclaws were confused as to why she had even had dragonets in the first place, and they were even more mystified to why she let them live. Although Qibli tried to gain her attention and love on multiple occasions by proving his worth, Cobra still showed no interest in any of her offspring.

Biography

Pre-Series

Cobra abused and ignored Qibli before Thorn came to take him. She didn't care what happened to him, but she didn't want to sell Qibli at first. But after a quick dialouge, she let Thorn take him. She always insisted that he had to fend for himself in the Scorpion Den. She said he cared too much for others and was worthless.

Darkness of Dragons

After Qibli left, Vulture, Cobra's father, imprisoned her to get his hands on her dragonets, to make them join his Talons of Power organization. He trapped her in an oubliette until Qibli came to Vulture's fortress to look for Ostrich. When Cobra was freed by Qibli, she told him to escape that night with her. Cobra stopped herself from calling Qibli "lizard", and even tried to kill her other two dragonets for trying to stop her escape. It was later revealed/deducted by Qibli that Cobra and Vulture were plotting against Qibli, by making it seem as if Cobra had been trapped in the oubliette for years, although it was only been less than a day. Vulture and Cobra had set a trap for Qibli, trying to make him lead his mother to Thorn's stronghold. Cobra was arrested by Thorn and was thrown in Thorn’s dungeon.

Relationships

Qibli

As shown in the flashbacks of Darkness of Dragons, Cobra doesn't seem to care about Qibli or believe that he will ever amount to something, but later, when they are in Vulture's compound, she seems to actually get along with him and want to rule the Scorpion Den with him.

Rattlesnake and Sirocco

Cobra seems to care little for her other two dragonets, like Qibli in the flashbacks of Darkness of Dragons.

Vulture

Qibli mentioned in Darkness of Dragons that he thought that Vulture was the only dragon Cobra ever backed down for, and he thought that Cobra must be risking Vulture's wrath by keeping him alive. He found out later that this wasn't true, Cobra was keeping them alive for Vulture.

Thorn

Cobra might have not wanted to give Qibli away to Thorn, or she might have, because in Darkness of Dragons, Qibli thought that she might have been "only bartering to get a better offer" when she said that Thorn couldn't keep him. She did not try to stop Thorn from taking him other than that. She seems to give in to Thorn when Qibli is being taken away. Cobra trusts Thorn to get money from her for doing her assassin job.
