Auklet
- "Me too! Me too! I want to go to school too!"
- — Auklet to Coral, Moon Rising
Template:Charbox Princess Auklet is a young female SeaWing dragonet who was introduced in The Lost Heir. She is the youngest daughter of Queen Coral and King Gill, and is one of the three living SeaWing princesses. Tsunami saved Auklet's life by watching over her in the Royal Hatchery and destroying Orca's Statue in The Lost Heir.
Appearance
Auklet has emerald-green scales[1], dark green eyes[2], and green wings[3]. Clay notes that she has Tsunami's snout[4]. In the graphic novel, she has been shown with freckle-like glow-in-the-dark stripes on her face, and wavy ones down her back and tail. Since she is descended from the royal family, she has the royal stripe pattern shared by Tsunami, Turtle, Anemone, Commander Shark, and Queen Coral. Auklet probably inherited her coloring from her father, King Gill, who was known to have green scales.
Personality
Auklet is playful and mischievous, behaving as most young dragonets do. In Talons of Power, she was seen chasing bubbles in one of the Deep Palace's gardens. She is curious and playful, shown in the conclusion of The Lost Heir when she was digging in the sand, getting it in her nose, sneezing, and chasing crabs across the beach.
She is also quite excitable, being eager to go to school with her siblings as shown in Moon Rising.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Being the queen's last egg, Auklet's egg was in extreme danger of being smashed and killed by Orca's statue. Tsunami volunteered to protect Auklet's egg, risking her life for this task. She succeeded, but just barely, having her spear broken and being forced to fight the statue weaponless to protect the egg. Their other unnamed would-be sister, blue in color, was strangled to death by the statue two days before she was supposed to hatch with. While Tsunami was in Queen Coral's prison with the other Dragonets of Destiny, Auklet was fitted for her harness, freeing Anemone from her harness temporarily. Additionally, Whirlpool raised the possibility of marrying Auklet to become king, due to fear of Anemone ending up like Albatross. She was taken to the Deep Palace when Burn's army attacked the Summer Palace and remained there for the rest of The War of SandWing Succession.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy
Auklet appeared briefly at the beginning of Moon Rising. She was with Queen Coral, Anemone, and Turtle waiting outside Jade Mountain Academy. She tackled her harness and was delighted to see her sister. She said that she wanted to attend school with Anemone and Turtle, but her mother thought she was too young, and her sister Tsunami suggests that maybe she can attend the next year. Queen Coral was quite disgruntled by this.
In the epilogue, Anemone's mind revealed to Darkstalker that she had enchanted Auklet's harness, which would hopefully help to "keep Queen Coral away" from Anemone for now. If not, she would "come up with something stronger."
When Turtle went to warn Queen Coral about Anemone coming to kill her, he found Auklet with her. She was playing with bubbles in the garden, which was said to be her favorite place in the Deep Palace. Auklet recognized her brother and started bouncing happily. When they were about to leave, she gave him a hug. Given the fact that she did not appear in Darkstalker's Palace when he summoned all the animus dragons in Pyrrhia, Auklet is confirmed to not be an animus.
In the epilogue, in Queen Coral's letter to Turtle, the queen wrote “Auklet and I send our love”.

Relationships
She seems to love her brother and got excited when she saw him in Talons of Power. She might have wanted to go to Jade Mountain Academy too because he, along with Anemone and Tsunami were attending the school.

Trivia
- One of the candidates for her name was "Walrus" (most likely Glory being sarcastic), however, Tsunami claimed that Auklet was much more dignified than that. Immediately after, the young dragonet fell in an extremely undignified manner.[4]
- In a Scholastic video, Tui stated that she would have Auklet return, and this is proven true- she does appear again in Talons of Power.
- In the same video, she also said she wanted to write a book for her since she's such an unexplored character, along with Lynx and Flower.
- In Talons of Power, it is shown that her favorite places are the bubble jet gardens in the Deep Palace.
- Auklet is Queen Coral's youngest and last daughter with King Gill, likely her last altogether.
- In Talons of Power, Auklet was confirmed not to be an animus like Turtle, Orca or Anemone, as she wasn't transported to Darkstalker's palace when all of the animus dragons were summoned.
