Carnelian
Template:Infobox CharacterCarnelian is a SkyWing at the Jade Mountain Academy in the Jade Winglet. She is a soldier for Queen Ruby, and is only attending the academy because she was ordered to.
Moon saw Carnelian in the sleeping quarters and soon realized that she would rather fight in battles than go to school with other tribes by reading her mind. Carnelian constantly complained about how Kinkajou talked all day and Moon talked all night, and she shot mean looks towards Flame due to his past involvement with the Talons of Peace. Later, Carnelian was going to go to history class whenn she saw Moon and Qibli told her to not go into the history cave, but she ignored him and went in then Sora's dragon flame cactus went off killing her along with Bigtail. However later in the book we learn that the explosion was meant to kill Icicle.
Personality
Carnelian was grumpy and preferred fighting over learning. She constantly wanted Queen Ruby to take her out of the school and let her go back to the SkyWing Palace to defend it. She did not like other dragons at all and rarely interacted with anyone, except when she met Umber. She thought that maybe because SkyWings and MudWings were allies in the war, maybe she could make friends with Umber. However, this was not the case, as she died before a friendship could form.
Trivia
- Carnelian is "a hard, tough reddish quartz used as a gem."
- Because Carnelian is named after a gem, a pattern visible in SkyWing royalty, she is speculated to be a daughter of either Scarlet or Queen Ruby.
