- "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
Indigo was an adult female SeaWing who was introduced in Darkstalker. She was the partner of Fathom and the mother of Clearpool, Cowrie, and Ripple.
Her last known location was an island off the coast of the Rainforest Kingdom, where she was raising her three dragonets with her partner, Fathom. She has a pet wooden octopus named Blob, made for her with animus magic by Fathom.

During the animus test, Indigo fooled around and teased Fathom. Queen Lagoon and Albatross appeared and scolded her. When Fathom politely asked the coconut to hit Albatross, she teased him yet again, telling him that he was allowed to be mean to objects. When the coconut hit Albatross, she asked why Fathom had never told her. He replied that he hadn't known he was an animus. 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 found them at the Summer Palace. Albatross discovered her spying on them, saying 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 him. 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 had three dragonets together, Cowrie, Ripple, and Clearpool. They give animus blood down through the line until eventually one of their dragonets finds their way back to the other SeaWings. |
Relationships
Blob snuggled in close to Indigo, and often sat atop her shoulder. Indigo was delighted to have him,[17] and loved him very dearly.[18] She was happy and joyful when they were reunited before leaving the lost city of night.[19]
Darkstalker was hostile towards Indigo, and while the NightWing attempted to convince Fathom to loosen his hold on his magic, Indigo encouraged him to keep it under strict control.[16] She was suspicious towards him,[20] and after she destroyed the goblet he bought for Fathom, he looked consumed with rage.[21] She considered Darkstalker to be manipulative[22] and constantly watched him to ensure that he did not harm Fathom.[23]
Since they were tiny dragonets, Fathom was Indigo's best friend. He rarely went anywhere without her, and they'd been together almost since hatching.[3] Some of Fathom's memories alongside her included claw painting, hours spent carving a dolphin out of wood for her, filling out their fish journals for every variety in the sea, and her teasing him for taking their tutors so seriously.[8] Fathom considered her smile the best in Pyrrhia, and they were often physically affectionate.[24] He was reassuring towards her,[25] and his affection towards her was noticeable to other dragons.[26] He looked at her like he loves her, and created treasure for her out of his own talons; likewise, she brought him what he needed before he asked for it.[27] He considered their relationship platonic until the night of the Royal SeaWing Massacre, when he realized that the happy flutters in his heart whenever he saw Indigo indicated that he was in love with her.[27][28]
After the massacre, Fathom considered being separated from Indigo the worst punishment of all.[29] Even after being separated from her for an entire year, seeing her in Pearl's throne room brought memories and longing and despair crashing back to Fathom. He would do anything to save her, even giving up his entire soul.[8] He wanted desperately for her to accompany him to the lost city of night, but also considered how dangerous it would be for Indigo.[9] She is protective towards him[30][31] and spent hours training after the massacre so that no dragon could hurt Fathom ever again.[4] She often felt sympathetic towards Fathom.[32] Despite her experiences with Albatross' animus magic, she did not consider Fathom dangerous, and he missed her very much while they were separated.[33] She refused to leave him, and trusted him immensely.[33]
After Indigo smashed the goblet that Darkstalker created for Fathom, he chose Wharf to accompany him to the Royal Tower instead of Indigo. She was wrought with hurt and disbelief,[22] but although Fathom was upset with her, he understood her protectiveness, and wanted her to stay within their chambers for her own safety.[34]
After fleeing the lost city of night and settling down together on an island near the Rainforest Kingdom, Indigo was eventually able to convince Fathom that it was all right for him to be happy, and that he was not a monster because of his animus magic.[35] She believed with all of her heart that Fathom had too much kindness goodness in him to ever end up like Albatross and Darkstalker.[36]
Lagoon openly disliked Indigo, who was terrified by the queen.[2] She often glared at Indigo[14] and looked down her snout at the dragonet.[37] As Fathom grew older, her words towards Indigo became meaner and more pointed,[38] and she spoke to Indigo exactly as she did towards the servants.[26]
Their relationship seemed to be positive and she did not seem to mind that Indigo had borrowed Pearl's jewelry to attend a diplomatic party. She also would compliment Indigo.[39]
After the Royal SeaWing Massacre, Indigo was promoted to Pearl's honor guard, assigned to the squadron that protected Pearl herself, night and day. She rarely let Indigo leave her side.[29][40]
