"There's no shame in admitting it. Hippos can happen to anyone."
— Mayfly, questioning Kinkajou's injuries in Winter Turning.

Template:Charbox Mayfly is a female MudWing doctor described to have mud brown scales and a wide, flat head [1]. Her back leg and the back half of her tail are covered with, as described by Winter, "unmistakable" frostbreath scars, and she has two missing claws[2]. She appears to be kind, except towards IceWings, whom she seems to have a slight grudge against, most likely due to her injuries she likely accumulated during the War of The SandWing Succession. She is a doctor in the small town of Possibility where Hailstorm, Winter, Qibli, and Moon went in search of help for Kinkajou after being injured by Chameleon in his NightWing form, Shapeshifter. She was said by Meerkat to be the best doctor in all of Possibility, but it is unknown how many others there are, or if there are any others at all.

Biography

She was seen diagnosing Kinkajou's injury in Possibility. Mayfly was the supposedly "best doctor in Possibility", to Winter's surprise. She was also very skeptical on the true reason Kinkajou was there, and was fairly certain that the cause of her injuries was something more realistic and not the result of being attacked by a dragon with superstrength.

She observed that Kinkajou, with white scales, looked like an IceWing. Hailstorm was offended, saying that she did not. Mayfly harshly told Winter and Hailstorm to stop blocking the light, shoving a foul-smelling jar in their faces for emphasis. Her hostility was most likely because of her dislike for IceWings (since she has fought and been injured by them).
