Mightyclaws

"That's Fierceteeth. Don't mind her. Older sisters always think they can do whatever you're doing better than you can. I know, I've got one too. I'm Mightyclaws, by the way."

— Mightyclaws, when he meets Starflight

Template:Infobox Character Mightyclaws is a male NightWing dragonet with black scales who lived in theNight Kingdom before the volcano eruption. His personality in The Dark Secret was calmer than the other dragonets in the dormatory. He is currently attending Jade Mountain Academy in the Quartz Winglet. He has been described with a round belly, lean face, sharp jawbones, and deep hollows under his eyes. Moonwatcher noted that he has enough to eat, but has not evened out yet. He also appears to be one of the only NightWings with siblings, for not many NightWings have surviving siblings due to the harsh conditions at the volcano.  

Biography

The Dark Secret

Mightyclaws first appeared at the dorm cave where The Dark Secret began with Fierceteeth, Mindreader, and a few other unnamed dragonets. He seemed to be slightly nicer than some of the rest of the bunch. He interrogated Starflight with the others about the outside world because he was not old enough know the NightWing secrets and keep them a secret, thus he couldn't leave the NightWing island. He was the first to switch loyalties over to Queen Glory while the other NightWings hesitated.

The Brightest Night

Deathbringer suggested that he go to the new school for dragonets at Jade Mountain in the epilogue.

Moon Rising

Moon visits Mightyclaws in the art cave of Jade Mountain Academy to ask questions about Darkstalker and the NightWings. He asks Moon why she would ask him about such a thing. He is one of the NightWings who thinks Darkstalker will come back to the NightWings seeking revenge. He appears to have some anger problems that he is supposed to solve by using art as a therapy, which was recommended by Starflight. He seems to dislike Moonwatcher by saying that she "will never be one of us," but Moonwatcher later hears him think, "If my mother had any spine she'd have hidden me in the rainforest," hinting that he may not dislike her, and perhaps envies her instead. However, he seems to dislike his mother, what with him criticizing her for not hiding his egg in the rainforest. Moon describes him as an outwardly friendly dragon with dark thoughts on the inside.

Personality

When Starflight first met Mightyclaws, he said that he was the nicest of the NightWing dragonets.

Mightyclaws seemed to feel safe telling NightWing secrets to dragons, as is shown when he told Fatespeaker all about the collapsed part of the fortress, including when it happened and where the treasure room was located. He's mature and friendly to strangers. He had little problem with accepting a RainWing dragonet as a queen, and seems to be honest and loyal.

Mightyclaws has great fear of Darkstalker, and seems to fully think that he exists, while other NightWings appear to believe him nothing but a legend.
