- "You need to stop doing that, remember? If you only hear it in your head, don't respond. No one can know about your curse. Everybody thinks NightWings don't have powers anymore - they won't know what to do with you if they find out."
- — Secretkeeper telling Moonwatcher not to reveal her powers in Moon Rising.
Template:Charbox Secretkeeper is a female NightWing and the mother of Moonwatcher. Her mate was revealed to be Morrowseer in the beginning of Moon Rising, when Moonwatcher read her mother's mind and saw his name. Moon mentioned that Secretkeeper didn't think about him much, and when she did, she'd think that he couldn't be trusted with her secret, and Secretkeeper didn't reveal any thoughts or history of Morrowseer's past or their previous relationship with each other. Secretkeeper was friends with Mastermind's mate, Farsight. She is a tall, thin dragon who looks a lot like Moon, without the silver teardrop scales near her eyes.
Biography
Secretkeeper first appears in the prologue of Moon Rising, at a time prior to the book's events . She had hidden the egg containing Moon the Rainforest to protect her from the harsh and unhealthy conditions of the Night Kingdom. Secretkeeper knows Moonwatcher's egg is due to hatch, so she is on her way to the rainforest when she encounters Mastermind and Farsight in the hallway. Mastermind seems as though he might know what she is up to, and yet he doesn't mention it, which gives us the impression that he is someone that can be trusted. But Farsight is under the impression that the egg had been lost. Farsight asks if Secretkeeper needs anyone to sit with her, but she declines abruptly, noting that Farsight was the kind of dragon who wouldn't take it too personally. After getting past Preyhunter, the guard, she goes through the tunnel. At first Secretkeeper cannot find her egg in the forest, but she soon finds it under the rays of moonlight. She notices that the egg has changed color from ebony black to silver. When she sees this, Secretkeeper thinks that this could be an attempt by Mastermind or Greatness to catch her. Secretkeeper begins to suspect that there is something different about her daughter as she creeps up to the egg, and wonders if she has done something wrong. Then Moonwatcher emerges from the eggshell, and her mother happily observes that she is "perfect in every way". She says this even though she notices that her daughter has silver scales beside her eyes, but Secretkeeper just added that to the ways that her daughter was beautiful. Secretkeeper hides Moon before returning to the Night Kingdom once the guard, Preyhunter, called to her.
In the first chapter of the book, Secretkeeper is taking Moon to the first day of school at the Jade Mountain Academy. They picked a spot where they could watch the entering students until they were ready. Secretkeeper never talked about Moon's father, but Moon read his name in her mind: Morrowseer. She doesn't want to leave Moon at Jade Mountain, but forces herself to go so Moon will be encouraged to make new friends and get away from the NightWing tribe.
Secretkeeper is mentioned by Morrowseer when he is discussing with Farsight about taking her egg (Starflight) for the prophecy, saying "she’s got a sensible head on her shoulders, and she’d hand over her dragonet for a prophecy in a heartbeat".
In Winter Turning, she meets with her daughter once again when Moon returns to the Rainforest with her companions Qibli, Winter, and Kinkajou to warn Queen Glory of Icicle's plot to kill the RainWing queen. When they were walking through the NightWing part of the village, Moon sees her mother and the two embrace. It said Qibli and Kinkajou had longing expressions on their faces as they watched Moon and Secretkeeper hug, while Winter insists that his parents are perfect the way they are and made him a true, dignified IceWing. Secretkeeper eyes Winter and Qibli with distrust before Moon tells her they're her friends.
She stands with the other NightWings as Darkstalker and the other NightWings came, waiting for Moon. She then hugged Moon when she came.

Quotes
"I'll be back as soon as I can. Please, please don't leave this spot until I come. All right?"
"I'm your mother, little one. I'm going to call you Moonwatcher. You're going to have the happiest life any dragon has ever had, and you're going to live forever and ever, and the volcano will never have you."
"Stay secret. Stay hidden. Stay safe."- Her mantra
"You'll make friends here. I'm sure you will." -To Moon
"You need to stop doing that, remember? If you only hear it in your head, don't respond. No one can know about your curse. Everybody thinks NightWings don't have powers anymore - they won't know what to do with you if they find out."
"Wow. A real queen. I've never seen one before."
"Queen Glory is barely older than you are. I mean a real queen, someone who's ruled their tribe for years and years."
Trivia
- Her name is very fitting and ironic, as she kept a huge secret by keeping her egg in the rainforest.
- Secretkeeper appears to be loyal to Queen Glory, as she is one of the fifty NightWings to stay in the RainWing Kingdom, and not go with King Darkstalker to the Lost City of Night.
