Biography

Pre-Series

Before the events of The Dragonet Prophecy, Thorn met a NightWing named Stonemover, who would become her partner. They later had one egg, however Thorn did not tell Stonemover this because they had been fighting. Shortly before it was laid, Stonemover mysteriously vanished. Thorn buried the egg in the desert outside the Scorpion Den, where she lived, to keep it safe, but just before it was about to hatch, it too, vanished.

Thorn found out it had been stolen by Dune, and formed the Outclaws and put a bounty on his head in a desperate search for her missing egg and mate. However, she had no luck.

The Brightest Night

Thorn is first seen when Fierceteeth, Strongwings and Preyhunter arrive at the Scorpion Den with information on the whereabouts of The Dragonets of Destiny, followed by Sunny. Thorn ignores what they have to say about the dragonets, and instead asks if they've seen Dune, Morrowseer or Stonemover. When Preyhunter claims that Morrowseer is dead, she kills him with her barb, and then asks about Dune.

Sunny then steps forward and says that Dune is also dead. Thorn dismisses Fierceteeth and Strongwings, but keeps Sunny inside and sends her into a back room, along with another dragonet called Qibli. She then tells Sunny that she is her mother, and plans a welcome party for her. However, before anything else can happen, reports of a dragonbite viper near an orphanage come in and she has to leave.

Then, Sunny is kidnapped by Addax and sent to Burn's Stronghold, where Thorn and the Outclaws come to rescue her. Sunny claims that Burn owns a dead, stuffed NightWing in her collection, and Thorn demands to see it.

Smolder leads them to the collection, along with Peril, and Thorn relaxes when she sees the NightWing. Sunny and Thorn are then tricked and locked in a room full of papers, but manage to get out by burning the door. They then leave with Qibli and Six-Claws.

Later, Thorn is one of the SandWings present when Burn, Blister, Blaze and the rest of the tribes meet at Burn's Stronghold. After Burn is killed by a dragonbite viper, Sunny discovers the Eye of Onyx, and is faced with a choice between Blister and Blaze. She gives it to Thorn instead, and Thorn whispers to her that it's all very strange, and that she hopes that Sunny will be around to help.
