Marsh

Template:Infobox CharacterMarsh is a male MudWing with deep brown eyes. He is one of Clay's six siblings and one of the seven dragonets of Cattail and nephews and nieces of Asha. He never seemed to have recovered from the death of his sister, Crane, who was killed in the battle between Blaze's and Burn's armies, which had also been his troop's very first battle, taking place just two days before Clay arrived. Marsh appears nervous and anxious most of the time and is currently a student at the Jade Mountain Academy, attending the Copper Winglet with his clawmate Coconut.

History

The Dragonet Prophecy

Marsh hatched along with Reed, Sora, Pheasant, Crane, and Umber in the Mud Kingdom. Because Clay was sold to the Talons of Peace by their mother, they were raised with Reed as their Bigwings.

After escaping from the Sky Kingdom, Clay and the other dragonets made their way to the Mud Kingdom while being pursued by Burn and her soldiers. The group encountered him and were overjoyed to see him for the first time. They helped him make peace with himself, and, despite protests, let Clay depart.

The Dark Secret

Marsh is mentioned in the prologue of the fourth book with his siblings when IceWings attacked the SandWings nearby. He is terrified, and nearly takes Reed down with him. 

Marsh appears in Clay's dream with his other siblings when Starflight dreamvisits Clay. 

The Brightest Night

He and his sibs are seen when Sunny and Clay go to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. He admits to feeling wary on the outcome of the MudWing's planned attack on the IceWings.

Moon Rising

Marsh was a minor character, accompanying Clay and his siblings throughout the book, and attending the Copper Winglet. When Umber abruptly left with Sora, they didn't have time to tell Marsh that they were leaving so they left Clay that responsibility. It is unknown whether he's still at the Academy or not, though it is likely he stayed for Clay.
