Crane (TDP)

Template:Infobox Character(Not to be confused with Queen Crane, the MudWing queen from 2000 years ago in Darkstalker (Legends).)

Crane was a wiry, muscular, female MudWing, one of Clay's younger sisters and one of the three daughters of Cattail. She was killed by Icicle the IceWing in a battle between Burn and Blaze's forces two days before Clay reached the Mud Kingdom in The Dragonet Prophecy. She was described to be thin for a MudWing, with light brown scales. Her sister Sora was the most devastated out of all her siblings after Crane's death, as all her siblings say she hadn't talked much before her death but rarely talked after.

The Dragonet Prophecy

Crane was killed two days before Clay and the dragonets of destiny reached the Mud Kingdom, leading Clay to wonder how many of his siblings would still be alive when the war ended.

The Dark Secret

While patrolling the borders of the Mud Kingdom, Reed wondered if Crane would have still been alive if Clay had been the bigwings instead of him. Reed doesn't like to think about the battle, since it makes him feel "like a huge pit has opened up inside of him that he just wants to fall into". He feels bad about it and doesn't want it to be true.

Moon Rising

Crane is mentioned Moon Rising when Sora made Kinkajou leave so she could talk to Tamarin alone, she was seen crying when Moonwatcher, Qibli and Umber came rushing in. When Moon read Sora's mind, a flashback was seen where Crane had saved Sora from another dragon's attack but was killed by an IceWing, Icicle. Icicle is Sora's clawmate. Because of Crane's death, Sora has tried killing Icicle so that Crane's death would be avenged. However, she failed both times - one with a dragonflame cactus and the other with a stalactite on the roof of the prey center. Crane was never avenged, and Icicle escaped. The current whereabouts of Sora and Umber is unknown.
