- "I think the most beautiful things should also be the most frightening."
- — Onyx
Template:Infobox Character Onyx is a female SandWing attending the Jade Mountain Academy, specifically a member of the Gold Winglet. She is noted to be much older and larger than the other students and placed black gems between the scales on her wings. She also has a necklace with a part of the skyfire that killed her mother, preventing even the strongest NightWing telepaths from reading her thoughts and emotion, connected to an amulet by copper wires. Onyx is planning to take the throne from Queen Thorn because she asked Webs on the first day of history class "There has never been a Queen in history who was not descended from the royal family. Does that mean now anyone could become queen?" Moon also caught her thinking: "This is a distraction from my plans. Maybe if I go back to the desert and try a different approach." Then she looked at Qibli. "They say this one is her third wing. Maybe if I......." and then her thoughts were cut off by a piece of Skyfire being returned to her. Also, at the end of Winter Turning, Darkstalker catches her speaking to an unnamed ally, then thinking to herself "I will be queen within the month."
Appearance
Onyx was described to have pale yellow scales, with small black diamonds set between them that wink and sparkle in the sunlight. She has branching black lines tattooed on her horns and neck. She wears an amulet, a locket with a catch on it, and when opened, there is a twisted hunk of skyfire, bound to the amulet with copper wires. This skyfire is part of the rock that killed her mother.
Biography
Pre Series
Onyx has lived on her own in the desert with her mother for her entire life, until her mother was killed by a piece of skyfire on the false brightest night. After that, she enrolled in Jade Mountain Academy, thinking about getting some education, since she had nothing else to do.
Moon once thought that she could be a suspect for the Dragonflame Cactus bombing at Jade Mountain Academy until Onyx removed her amulet that contained the skyfire, which allowed Moon to read her thoughts. Onyx seemed interested in Qibli, calling him "Thorn's third wing". She also asks Webs about Queen Thorn in history class. She may be plotting something, but it is uncertain.
Onyx is seen in the epilogue at Jade Mountain Academy. Darkstalker listens to her speak to someone he doesn't know, plotting to overthrow Thorn. She complains to the unknown dragon that "she couldn't get near the daughter" referring to Sunny, although what she was planning is unknown. Onyx also says, "I thought I had an idea, but then he up and vanished from the school." talking about Qibli. She ends thinking I will be queen within the month, whether that old dragon helps me or whether I have to kill him and do it myself. It is unknown who she is talking about.
Personality
Onyx, as shown by the brief glimpse into her mind, is rather callous, not caring at all about her mother's death or the severe injury of her own clawmate, even though she does describe her as 'agreeable.' She didn't understand why she was expected to care about other tribes, and was also shown to enjoy intimidating other dragons, and seems to get satisfaction from being feared. She also appears to dislike almost every dragon in the school.
Relationships
Tamarin is a RainWing and Onyx's clawmate at the Jade Mountain Academy. Onyx didn't seem to care about Tamarin's injuries, despite describing her as agreeable.
Her Mother
She and her mother were roaming the Sand Kingdom, staying away from guards, when a piece of the comet burned through her mother's head, killing her. Onyx didn't seem to care about her mother's death, and said she used to "snore and tell weepy stories and expect her to care."
Quotes
"That's enough ogling."
"Yes, but that is half the point. If I could endure that much pain just for a little beauty, imagine how much I could handle in a battle, or for my own survival. I think the most beautiful things should also be frightening." (To Ostrich about the diamonds embedded in her scales and war)
"That's right, admire me, fear me, wonder about me. You all have no idea who I am or what I'll be one day. One day soon. No more hiding, Mother. I make the decisions now." (Thought)
"Oh, I didn't do it. No, this rock just fell from the sky one night. It went straight through her head, leaving a burning hole behind, and over she went. That's when I thought, Well, time to join the world." (About her mother's death)
"Beautiful and frightening, don't you agree?"
"Are you listening? You'd better be."
"I will be queen within the month..." (Thought)
