Template:InfoboxTsunami is a SeaWing princess and a dragonet of the Prophecy. She is the main character in The Lost Heir, the second book in the series. She is the leader of the Dragonets' "pack".
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Tsunami was brought to the Talons of Peace by a Seawing named Webs, who stole her egg from the Royal Hatchery. She grew up with resentment and anger towards the guardians about keeping them locked up away from the world. She constantly interrupted the fights between Clay and Kestrel, ones that usually ended up harming Clay badly.
Eventually, she was granted her wish when escape became a necessity after Morrowseer declared that Glory must be exterminated because she was an unsuitable replacement for the murdered SkyWing. She was chained to the wall to learn a lesson after back talking the guardians and Morrowseer, and loudly singing a bar song about the prophecy. After Clay managed to escape down the underground river, she escaped with the help of Sunny and Starflight, and saved Clay from having his scales dissolved. The chains dislocated her wing joint, almost killing her after they came over a waterfall out of the mountain. After Clay fixed it, they encountered Queen Scarlet, whom they escaped by impaling her tail into the ground. This later resulted in their capture and imprisonment.
During their confinement, she proved to be very temperamental and would lash out at any outsider. Due to this, she was given extra chains and was isolated. After Clay denouncing her as just another SeaWing, he was forced to fight Fjord. In a futile distraction, she flung herself off her ledge, nearly choking to death and dragging all the other nearby prisoners down with her.
However, it gave Glory enough time to kill Fjord. She was taken away after songs about the prophecy, and was cowed even by Burn. She was the most distrusting of Peril, preferring to stay far away. She later was forced to fight a mentally insane SeaWing (Gill), scavengers, and nearly IceWings, only to be interrupted by Morrowseer saving Starflight.
She and the rest managed to escape with the aid of Peril, and they decided to go and search for their parents. After realizing Clay had hurt Glory, she planned a trick to make him think she left for good. After Glory and Clay returned from looking for his parents, they proceeded to the Sea Kingdom to meet Tsumani's mother, Queen Coral.
The Lost Heir
After escaping from the SkyWing Palace, the dragonets seek refuge in a forest near the SeaWing Kingdom. A patrol of SkyWings then force the group into hiding. Tsunami almost kills a soldier who nears the dragonets, which angers the rest of the group. They then begin to trust Starflight's opinions much more than Tsunami's, and the young SeaWing wonders if they would rather have the NightWing as their leader instead.
Eager to meet her tribe (and to get away from other dragons who don't appreciate her) she dives into the ocean. There, she finds two SeaWings (Riptide and Shark) communicating using aquatic, the SeaWings' underwater language. After puzzling about this, she waits for one of the SeaWings to leave before coming up to the other, "more handsome" one. He tries to communicate with her with aquatic, but fails, as Tsunami had never learned aquatic. When he flashes his stripes at her, she takes it as a test, flashing her stripes back at him in a mirror of what he had done. She does this again after he flashes her stripes at her a second time, and suddenly the other SeaWing lunges at her. Tsunami assumes he is trying to attack her, and fights the other SeaWing. Eventually, she flees toward Clay, hoping for some backup. However, after a bit of arguing and a lot of explaining, the other dragon introduces himself as Riptide, and offers to take Tsunami and her friends to the summer palace. The group then runs into a patrol led by Shark. The commander then orders his guards to kill the dragonets (excluding Tsunami) and Tsunami quickly stops them. The young SeaWing becomes immediately distrustful of him.
When they finally make it to the summer palace, Queen Coral welcomes her with open wings, but is distrustful of the other dragonets. They are then locked up in a cave, and assures Tsunami that they will be safe, though the dragonet protests.
Personality
Tsunami was fiercely independent, and a fighter. She was not afraid to voice her opinion, even to the ferocious Kestrel. She also resented the fact that they were held captive by the Talons of Peace, and then by Queen Scarlet; she valued her freedom and independence highly.
However, she was also fiercely devoted to her friends and would not do anything to hurt them; she refused to hurt Starflight when Queen Scarlet pitted them against each other. She was also fiercely protective; she managed to distract an IceWing from killing Clay in a battle by throwing herself off the pinnacle she was chained to, an almost suicidal move with wing clips on.
Tsunami is sometimes impulsive and jumps to conclusions, like when she attacked the SkyWing when she thought he was going to capture her friends. Often she feels her friends don't appreciate her for her loyalty.
Quotes
"You're a handsome idiot." -Tsunami to Clay, during their attempted escape before Peril betrayed them.
"You are a delusional squid-brain." To Riptide when they first met.
"Maybe I should stop listening to my first instincts." - After her failed Aquatic lesson with Whirlpool.
"Alright, Squid brain." -Tsunami said to Riptide in Aquatic, when he wanted to fight at the end of the book.
"I will protect."-Tsunami to Queen Coral in Aquatic, about protecting her younger sister (Auklet's) egg.
Relationships
He is a young MudWing, and Tsunami seems to have feelings for him. Tsunami and Clay have known each other since they hatched, and are very trusting and comfortable around each other. Clay attempted to break Tsunami and the other dragonets' eggs upon hatching, leading to the belief of Kestrel that he attacked them. Tsunami describes Clay and Sunny as being "the most trustworthy members of the group." She had a crush on him, but then she was more interested in Riptide, and she came to realize that Clay thinks of the rest of the Dragonets of Prophecy as siblings. She still shows feelings for Clay, although they are primarily platonic.
A young NightWing. Very philosophical and extraordinarily smart. He is often shushed up by Tsunami because of his constant lecturing. In The Lost Heir, Tsunami is often annoyed when he tries to take command of the group. Tsunami and Starflight have known each other since they hatched, same as the other Dragonets of Destiny. In the Lost Heir, Tsunami states that she had a crush on Starflight before she found out he was a know-it-all and could be very annoying. This is shown when Tsunami hugs him and defends him in the SkyWing arena.
Tsunami is shown to be constantly annoyed by Glory's mood and sarcasm. However, her and Glory have known each other since hatching, and often aid each other. This showed when Glory helps Tsunami formulate an escape plan, and also when Tsunami tricks Clay and Sunny into thinking that Glory left the brigade to go by herself. She also describes her as possibly the "least trustworthy", since she has poison spit.
Tsunami seems to think of Sunny as a little sister, being the last to hatch. She is concerned for the well-being of Sunny. Like the other dragonets, Tsunami has known Sunny since they hatched. Tsunami considers Sunny and Clay "the most trustworthy members of the group."
Tsunami was wary and jealous of Peril, because of her and Clay's friendship. When Peril tries to burn her chains, Tsunami is hesitant and at first tells her to get away. When the Dragonets are leaving the Sky Kingdom, Tsunami tells Clay and Peril to speed up the touching good-bye. Tsunami has also been shown to consider Peril a psycho.
Tsunami was not very afraid of Kestrel in training. She seems to be the one that dislikes Kestrel the most, second only to Glory. She doesn't want to go back and save Kestrel, but does anyway because of Clay insistence. Tsunami still shows dislike towards her mentor when they are leaving the Sky Kingdom, taking a threatening step towards her before Kestrel flies away.
Queen Coral is Tsunami's mother, and is very overprotective of Tsunami and her other daughters. While Tsunami mostly adores her mother, she often questions her mothers' ways of ruling and judgement, and is sometimes even frightened by them.Although Tsunami believes that some of the queen's ways are scary and harsh, it is proven that Queen Coral is one of the most loving, caring, and understanding Queens in Pyrrhia.
Gill is Tsunami's father, killed in the Skywing arena by his own daughter although Tsunami never knew he was her father until Queen Coral told her.However, Gill's death was also indirectly caused by Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings, who took away his water for months and made him sick, weak, and insane.
Riptide was the first Seawing Tsunami met when she went into the ocean. She thought of him as handsome and even thought of marrying him instead of Whirlpool. He taught her some Aquatic at one point, and saved her when she was being attacked by an unknown Seawing who was later revealed to be Whirlpool. He later admits that he has been working with the Talons of Peace, Tsunami is upset that Riptide lied to her, but Tsunami is slowly, but surely, falling for Riptide.
Whirlpool attempts to teach Tsunami Aquatic, but proves to be a terrible teacher. Queen Coral wishes for Whirlpool to be King of the Seawings when Tsunami or Anemone is Queen. Tsunami is shown to despise Whirlpool, preferring Riptide over him. Whirlpool also tried to kill Tsunami because he did not want to marry her. This is proven when Anemone summons him, using her animus powers that he taught her.
Tsunami's younger sister. At first, Tsunami is disappointed that she has a sister, and thus, another heir to compete with. Later, though, Tsunami bonds with Anemone and they trust each other like friends. This is shown when Anemone aids the dragonets in their escape.
Shark is Tsunami's uncle, but Tsunami hates him. She believes he is responsible for the death of the heirs, such as when he gave Tortoise a break from guarding the eggs,but it is soon shown that her opinion, however, is not true when she finds that Orca's enchanted statue is the assassin. Shark is shown to not trust the Dragonets of Destiny, wanting to kill them. This enrages Tsunami very much.
Trivia
- Even though in the books it says she has a star pattern on her wings, the cover doesn't include it.
- Tsunami has a terrible singing voice.
- The 'prophecy song' that Tsunami sings on two occasions (first to annoy Kestrel, Dune, Webs and Morrowseer when they chained her up to prevent her from ruining their plot to kill Glory, and then in the SkyWing arena when Clay plays it on the wires binding him to the rock spire) was taught to her by Webs, as Dune confirms when he snaps at him and says, "I told you not to teach her that horrible bar song!", and goes:
- Oh, the dragonets are coming! They're coming to save the day! They're coming to fight, for they know what's right! The dragonets, hooray!
