Template:Infobox CharacterQibli is a SandWing dragonet around Sunny's age, possibly a year or two younger. He is an Outclaw who considered himself Thorn's bodyguard and third wing, before he became a student at the Jade Mountain Academy in the Jade Winglet with Moonwatcher and Winter.

Appearance

Qibli has light, sandy colored scales[1] with brown speckles on his snout,very similar to Thorn.[2] In one ear, he wears a dark amber earring with a warm orange teardrop hanging from it which almost gets torn out in the sixth book,[3] and has a zigzag scar across his snout.[4] He is described by Moon as good looking, but in a warmer way than Winter.

Biography

The Brightest Night

He first appears as part of The Outclaws when Thorn pins Preyhunter to the ground for saying that Morrowseer is dead. He shot forward along with Six-Claws when Preyhunter lashes out at Thorn. When the NightWing was killed by Thorn, he stood beside the body looking "as if he'd very much like to stab it again, just to be sure."

Later, he follows Thorn and Sunny before they talk about the "Wanted" posters around the Scorpion Den. He tells Thorn he's not leaving her alone with a stranger, showing his loyalty towards her. When Six-Claws informs Thorn that there's been reports of a dragonbite viper near the orphanage, she leaves and Qibli is left alone with Sunny. She asks him what a Dragonbite Viper is, and he tells her that it's the only snake in Pyrrhia that can kill a dragon. After, Sunny asks him if Thorn was his mother also. He denies it, saying that she saved him from his real mother, and that his brother and sister hated him. As Sunny lies down on a pillow, she asks what the Outclaws do. He tells her that they are in charge of the Scorpion Den, and becomes a little angry when she starts to fall asleep while he's talking.

When the Outclaws attack Burn's stronghold, he fights alongside Thorn and Six-Claws. As a SandWing soldier was about to stab Thorn, Qibli knocks him away. Sunny and Thorn get locked into a room by Smolder, and when they escape, Thorn gathers her Outclaws and retreats. Qibli remarks that he never trusted Smolder, and that Thorn should have never done so either and claimed that you should never trust a royal dragon.

Moon Rising

In the first book, he is one of Moonwatcher's best friends. He is very intelligent, as Moonwatcher hears by listening to his thoughts. He is a bit wary of Moonwatcher at first, however he thinks she's pretty. But he turns out to also be a bit insecure when she tells him about her "gift" to read minds. Yet he later proves that he is also very brave when they are battling Icicle. Qibli seems to criticize himself as shown after he was knocked out by Icicle he thought, "I can't believe I let an IceWing knock me out, Thorn would be unimpressed." Qibli also seems to be in a love triangle with Moonwatcher and Winter.

Winter Turning

He annoys Winter by making clever observations about what Winter is planning, but still wants to be friends. Winter got rid of Turtle and Qibli said that he couldn't get rid of them as easily. This annoyed Winter very much. They all ended up flying to the rainforest to warn Glory about Icicle coming to kill her. He later sees the dead Nightwing body with the frostbreath and everything. He is later locked in the wingery with the others and escapes to the Nightwing tunnel where he finds Icicle. Kinkajou tackled her to the ground out of rage saying that nobody was going to kill her Queen. While Icicle was reaching to slice her when Glory gets in and tranqualizes Icicle.

When they go out looking for Scarlet after Icicle was dreamvisited they met Squid and Riptide by the river. They look at the drawing and Riptide summons 2 SkyWings, Avalanche and Pyrite. Avalanche seems that she want to rip off Qibli's tail barb. Pyrite claims to know where it is when they mention that they are looking for Scarlet.

When they find the mountain Moon saw in the dream they took a rest. Winter was dreamvisited by Scarlet which meant she was spying on them. They looked around and found a shredded camp and one of Scarlet's scales. They knew she was nearby. They started looking until they found a cave while Kinkajou and Pyrite were still sleeping they snuck up on Scarlet and her companion and over heard her yelling at her companion and orders him to bring Pyrite to her. When they get back to camp they wake up Kinkajou who was very startled. Then she is grabbed by Scarlet's companion punched in the chest 2 or 3 times and is thrown into a tree. The Companion is then fought off by Moon blasting him in the face with Fire and Winter blasting him in the face with frostbreath. The Companion runs away screaming with agony. After Winter confronted Pyrite and she attacked him; Qibli pinned her down snout to the ground and Winter tears off the necklace that she didn't want to take off. Qibli jumped back at the sight of her scales falling off and to reveal Hailstorm beneath the scales.

When they get to Possibility and hear the news about Kinkajou's fractured skull and broken ribs, Winter is worried about Hailstorm's confusion problem and Winter decides to put on the necklace to figure out what Hailstorm is going thrPugh, but before he can do so Qibli rips off number four of the comditions. When Winter put the necklace on he turned into Pyrite and Qibli asked him if he could have the necklace back and Pyrite gives it to him and Winter comes back. Winter decides to go back to the Ice kingdom and Qibli tries to reason with him but Winter ingores him and Qubli gives him a week to come back to them.

Relationships

Family

Qibli has a mother with snake patterns down her back, a father, one brother, and one sister. In one of his memories his brother and sister are threatening him with their tails just to steal his talonful of dates. In one of Moon's visions, he is seen with his brother and sister and a elderly male SandWing, possibly his father. Qibli says that he had a terrible family life and is glad that he will never have to see is family again. Right after saying this, Moon has a vision of the future where he is in a fight with his father and two older siblings and yelling "Where is she?", possibly referring to his mother, Moonwatcher or Thorn. His brother and sister are named Sirocco and Rattlesnake.

Thorn

Qibli considers Thorn as his master and mother, having served her and the Outclaws pretty much his whole life, since he was 3 years old. He is extremely loyal to her, protecting her during battles and even refused to leave her side when Thorn wanted to talk in private with Sunny. It was also mentioned by him that Thorn saved him from his birth mother, who didn't take good care of him.

Moonwatcher

In Moon Rising, he and Moonwatcher are put into the same winglet; he quickly becomes one of her best friends. He is very intelligent and observant, shown by his thoughts that Moon has heard. He is a bit wary of her at first, but however, thinks she's pretty and constantly wonders what he should do to make Moon like him better. Because of his instinct to protect, he frequently defends her (mostly from Winter). He turns out to also be a bit insecure about her "gift" to read minds, but in the end he helps her figure out who set of the bomb with the use of her powers.

Winter

Qibli and Winter have a bit of a rivalry -- as Qibli likes to annoy him -- however, he still wants to be Winter's friend. Their rivalry could also be about the fact that they both might have a crush on Moonwatcher, but this is unlikely, since even before they were introduced to Moon, Qibli still annoyed him in a deliberate, yet friendly, way. Winter says that Qibi's constant, clever observations annoys him several times a day.

Quotes

"I'm not leaving you alone with no stranger. All prophecy-like or not."-Qibli in Thorn's room

"Ha! Moons, no. She saved me from my mother. Besides, the way I understand it, there's only ever been one egg for Thorn, and that's you- if you are who you say you are."-Qibli in Thorn's room

"I didn't trust that Smolder dragon. I knew there'd be trouble! Didn't I say so? Can't trust a royal, that's what I always say."

"Are you falling asleep in the middle of my fascinating explanation?"

"No one is getting sliced up or frozen and snapped apart. What is wrong with you? Did you even try just asking nicely? " to Winter in Jade Mountain Academy

"Hey. I'm the idiot clawmate, although most dragons call me Qibli. My intimidating acquaintance here is Winter. What's your name?"

"Winter, you need to seriously cool down! Get it? Because he's an IceWing? I know, I'm hilarious."

"See, I'm your destiny."

"Hey igloo-face! That's not cool."

"You're not at all clear on the concept of 'asking nicely', are you?"

"I'm probably wrong, but I think my clawmate just made a joke. Is that possible?"

"What's with you and faces? You should try threatening someone's elbows or ankles once in a while, just for a change of pace."
