"Fathom, listen. Our choices are what make us good or evil—what we do, how we help or hurt the world. You make the world a better place by being in it. With or without your magic, that's always been true."
— Indigo to Fathom, Darkstalker (Legends)

Template:Charbox Indigo was a female SeaWing who was introduced in Darkstalker (Legends). Her father curated the museum at the Island Palace and, as a result, Indigo was raised by the tribe's caretakers.

A close childhood friend of Fathom's, she was separated from him by Queen Pearl after the events of the Royal SeaWing Massacre. Approximately one year later, Fathom and Indigo were sent to the Night Kingdom to teach Darkstalker about the dangers of animus magic. Because Queen Pearl feared for her kingdom's safety and what her brother's magic might cause him to do, she ordered him to refrain from interacting with her as closely as they once did until the conclusion of Darkstalker (Legends), in which both of them abandoned both the Night Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Sea in favor of an unknown small island. There, they had dragonets together: Princess Clearpool, Prince Cowrie, and Prince Ripple.

Appearance

Indigo had dark purple[1] or blue[2] eyes that matched her seaweed necklace.[1] Her scales are a deep blue-purple (more purple than blue), and she has the opposite color of claws (more blue than purple), hence her name. At the Royal family gathering where Albatross massacred most of the family, she wore a pearl necklace and bracelet with imperfectly shaped pearls in different shades of pink that ranged from almost white to deep rose. The necklace belonged to Pearl, who disliked it and lent it to her because she didn't like things that weren't symmetrical. 

Personality

Indigo was described as very loyal and caring to Fathom, due to their growing up together. She was a mischievous soul, and loved to play little pranks on Fathom, as shown in Darkstalker Legends. Along with her prankster nature, Indigo was very fierce. She distrusted most NightWings, notibly Darkstalker. She even went so far as to hold him with the tip of a sharp metal disc pressed to his throat, which Darkstalker hated. She was also noted to be a good listener.

Biography

Darkstalker (Legends)

In the first chapter, Indigo was fooling around when she was supposed to be sitting quietly on the beach, waiting for the animus test to begin. She constantly teased Fathom and challenged him to disobey orders. Queen Lagoon and Prince Albatross appeared and scolded her. Queen Lagoon treated Indigo unfairly and similar to a servant because Indigo had no royal blood. In the Darkstalker Legends book, it says that Queen Lagoon terrified Indigo and that Indigo would probably be justified to hide in seaweed whenever the queen showed up. When Fathom politely asked the coconut to hit Albatross, she teased him yet again, possibly motivating him to reveal his animus abilities. When she saw what he could do, she was shocked. She asked why he had never told her about his animus powers, to which Fathom responded that he didn't know he had them.

Later, while she, Fathom, and Pearl were at tutoring, Albatross sent a messenger for Fathom. Not wanting to leave his side, Indigo snuck away to watch what they were doing and finds them at the Summer Palace. Albatross discovered her spying on them and said that Queen Lagoon would "not be pleased that you’ve seen her most secret project." Indigo, characteristically, was defiant and acted as though she didn't care. When Fathom told her excitedly that he was about to do his first enchantment, Albatross told them that they were done with their first lesson and left them alone at the Summer Palace. 

Indigo and Fathom begin to build a sea castle on the beach. As they do this, Fathom wonders why Albatross suddenly decided to quit. Indigo speculates that it's because he's old and boring and then asks to Fathom whether he thought the queen would stop them from being friends. Fathom declares that he would never let the queen do that. Because Indigo still looks worried, he uses his first enchantment to make an octopus out of driftwood for her, despite her protests that they should wait. Even so, Indigo loves it immediately and names the octopus Blob saying, “He‘s clearly a Blob. Aren’t you Blob?”

Indigo is present at the start of The Royal SeaWing Massacre, and she and Fathom later run to one of the over-water pavilions to hide when they realize that Albatross is killing any dragon he can, instead of just dragons that he is mad at. Indigo also tells Fathom that he is the most likely next target. Indigo and Fathom are hiding under a boat when Albatross comes into the pavilion, and Indigo eventually gets out from under the boat and attacks Albatross, trying to give Fathom time to escape. Instead, Fathom orders the spears to kill his grandfather (Albatross) and Indigo seizes his snout to smother any spell he might try to cast. The spears eventually do kill Albatross, but Indigo falls and almost dies. Fathom saves Indigo’s life using the pearl necklace that she was wearing. When the massacre ends, Fathom names Indigo as the dragon that killed Albatross, keeping his fatal use of his powers a secret. She is then named the 'Animus Killer.'

Years pass until Indigo sees Fathom again. Queen Pearl kept the two dragonets away from each other because it was clear they were in love. When Fathom finds out about Darkstalker being an animus, he decides to go to the Night Kingdom, and Indigo volunteers to go with him. They also take two other guards, Wharf and Lionfish. When they arrive, they attend a party where they first meet Darkstalker. Indigo is immediately suspicious of Darkstalker, even to the point where she holds a razor-sharp dagger to his throat. That is when Darkstalker makes up his mind that he needs to 'dispose of' Indigo.

A few weeks, even a month pass, and Darkstalker gets his chance. He enchants a pebble to, when thrown into the room Indigo is in, trap her inside the carving of a SeaWing Fathom made for her. For a good part of the story, she is inside the carving. Nobody knows whether she was conscious or not while she was trapped, or whether it felt like a year or a day to her. Fathom finally gets her out, clutching the carving and enchanting it to release her. While he did that, Clearsight was trapping Darkstalker under the mountain.

The two fly away to a secret island, never to be seen by the mainlanders again. They have three dragonets together, Prince Cowrie, Prince Ripple, and Princess Clearpool. They give animus blood down through the line until eventually one of their dragonets finds their way back to the normal SeaWings.

Talons of Power

Indigo was read by Turtle in a scroll, which was one of his favorite scrolls. The scroll was about her saving the tribe from a deranged killer, Albatross, who almost massacred the entire royal family.

Relationships

Fathom

Throughout their whole lives, Fathom has shown great compassion for her and she is shown to reciprocate the feeling. Due to her bond with Fathom, she was invited to royal family gatherings despite being the only one there without royal blood. When Albatross went mad after using too much animus magic, she tried to kill Albatross herself. Although in the end, she survived (saved by Fathom using his magic), she was ready to sacrifice herself to distract Albatross. After the Seawing Massacre Queen Pearl separated Indigo from Fathom as she forced Fathom to swear an oath to never have dragonets from fear of having any more animus dragons. Fathom was separated from Indigo for a year as to make sure Fathom kept to his oath.

When Fathom was sent to the Night Kingdom by Pearl, Indigo volunteered to go with him as a bodyguard. Although Pearl disapproved, she had to let Indigo go since Indigo was a hero to the tribe. Indigo was very protective of Fathom when they were in the Night Kingdom (as shown when Indigo nearly killed Clearsight when she tried to hug Fathom) because she feared Darkstalker trying to use his magic on Fathom and on anyone Fathom cared about deeply. She became suspicious of Darkstalker almost immediately after meeting him and distrusted him forever.

Later, she smashed an enchanted goblet that Darkstalker gave to Fathom as a gift which angered Darkstalker and disappointed Fathom since he didn't know it was charmed. She was then enchanted by Darkstalker to turn into a wooden dragon figure that Fathom had carved, as Darkstalker hated her. She was then "brought back to life" by Fathom. She told him she didn't care if he is an animus at all as long as he uses his powers for good. By five years after Darkstalker was enchanted to sleep eternally, she had three dragonets with Fathom. She and her family (including her three dragonets: Cowrie, Ripple, and Clearpool) lived on a deserted island off the shore of the Rainforest Kingdom, far away from the Sea Kingdom's palaces.

Darkstalker

Almost immediately after meeting Darkstalker, Indigo did not trust him and often thought of him in a similar way to Albatross. She almost kills him not too long after their first introduction, but Fathom talked her out of it. Darkstalker wanted revenge, so she was eventually trapped in a dragon carving by Darkstalker, and Indigo was stuck in there until near the end of the book where Fathom used his animus magic to free her.

Queen Pearl

For a majority of her life, Indigo and Pearl had a sisterly relationship, with Pearl always helping her to fit in with the royals. However, after the death of Albatross, Indigo was promoted to Pearl's Honor guard and Fathom was ordered to stay away from her. Separating Indigo from her beloved Fathom chilled the relationship between Pearl and Indigo.

Queen Lagoon

Queen Lagoon disliked Indigo and tried to get her away from Fathom. The queen of the SeaWings once ordered Indigo to go deep-sea fishing when the palace ran out of her favorite snack, and calls Indigo a "low-born purple dragonet". At the beginning of Darkstalker: Legends, it was noted Indigo feared the queen rightfully so.
