Fatespeaker
Template:Infobox Fatespeaker is a black NightWing with a purplish tint, deep blue underscales, speckles of silver around her ankle, one at each corner of her eyes, and several scattered on her tail and wings. She is one of the false dragonets of the prophecy, whose egg was brought along with Starflight's by Morrowseer. She was hatched a few months after the brightest night, making her younger than the real dragonets.
The other false dragonets see her as crazy and are very annoyed by her visions, for the reason that almost none of them came true. Squid said she was the only one who wasn't a bully, although he also think she's insane. Fatespeaker seems to consider the other false dragonets as her "friends", although none of them returns this feeling. Her parents are currently unknown.She is suspected to be the female Nightwing in book 6, although it is more likely it is Moonwatcher.
Predictions
So far her predictions include, but are not limited to:
- A NightWing would possibly come to visit them;
- The NightWing brought something great for breakfast;
- An earthquake;
- A new Talon of Peace;
- Something besides seagulls for breakfast;
- A walrus to eat;
- That Starflight was important to her destiny;
- That Starflight's name was Bigtoes;
- That they will convince Queen Battlewinner to join their side;
- That she and Starflight will survive;
- That she and Starflight will do great things together;
- That Starflight will live forever;
- That the Orb in the Sky (comet) will fall on Pyrrhia and crush them all.
Fatespeaker believes her predictions are correct, just not accurately timed. If she is the main Nightwing in book 6, then these predictions will be real. But some of her "visions" could never come true, such as Starflight's name being Bigtoes. This makes Moonwatcher a more likely guess.
Biography
In the prologue, Fatespeaker was fighting with the other false dragonets. She is highly interested in Morrowseer's arrival, claiming to have predicted it. In the epilogue, she has a "vision," and the other false dragonets scream that they don't want to hear it. She says that they will eat a walrus in their future. She then sees Starflight enter, and has another "vision." A bone is chucked at her, but she predicts that Starflight will be important in the future.
Fatespeaker sneaks out of her room and follows Starflight and Morrowseer, being very blunt about being a "Dragonet of Destiny." When Starflight tells her that he is the dragonet, she is shocked. Morrowseer mentions that Starflight could replace her, and the other false dragonets jump to that, saying that they wanted Starflight. Fatespeaker believes them to be kidding.
When Morrowseer orders the false dragonets to kill Starflight, she figures out where he's hiding, and says that she thinks he's smart and brave, and shows pity to the trapped RainWing. She refuses to kill him, and that night they sneak out and Starflight finds a dreamvisitor. They sneak out again to follow Flame, who asks Deathbringer about being an assassin. She claims to have a vision that they will convince Battlewinner not to kill the dragonets or torture the RainWings, and they find the tunnel to her. She is scared of Battlewinner at first, and is unable to convince her to join their side.
Later, Morrowseer tries to make the dragonets convince a group of SkyWings to change their alliance to Blister, but he forces Starflight to convince the soldiers instead of Fatespeaker. When Morrowseer banishes Squid, Fatespeaker is horrified and sad, knowing that he will probably not survive.
During a practice fight, she is pitted against Flame. Viper joins in, prompting Starflight to join as well. Viper pins her, and blames her and her tribe for the horrible experiences at the Night Kingdom. Viper tries to kill her, but Starflight stops her, and Viper is accidentally knocked into a lava river, and her tail accidentally slices across Flame's face. Fatespeaker was distraught over this and Flame's accidental, probably-mortal injury caused by the SandWing's barb.
When Starflight decides to save the RainWings, Fatespeaker joins him. They sneak Flame out of the healer's room and use him as a ploy to get through the tunnels. Fatespeaker and Sunny hit it right off when they meet in the rainforest.
During the invasion of the Night Kingdom, she helps convince the NightWings to accept Glory as queen. After Starflight escapes the burning tunnels, she presses up against his side and tells him that he was brave. She also stod up against Morrowseer when he tried to get in the portal.
Fatespeaker accompanies Starflight, Tsunami, and Clay out of the tunnel and into the rainforest. They cause a commotion, during which Sunny is captured. Fatespeaker then stays at the rainforest to be with Starflight as he recovers from his injuries. Later, Sunny escapes and returns to the rainforest. Fatespeaker is present with Starflight, who is slowly recovering. Sunny starts to feel jealous of Fatespeaker and Starflight.
On the night of the meeting, she accompanies the dragonets to Burn's Stronghold and predicts that the Orb in the Sky would come down and kill them all. Starflight remarks that her visions are not real, and she replies that they "feel real."
When a dragonbite viper is loose after it kills Burn, Sunny and Fatespeaker attempt to carry Starflight off of the ground, but Starflight was too heavy for Sunny and Fatespeaker. Clay then shoves them out of the viper's way and gets bitten himself, but survives due to Peril's aid.
In the epilogue, Sunny tells Starflight that he should be with Fatespeaker. Later, Sunny mentions teaching everyone that NightWings didn't have powers. Fatespeaker then said she still had powers and that the Orb in the Sky might still come back, but in the end fails to convince them. Sunny tells Starflight that she loves him, but as a brother, and that he should be fine with Fatespeaker.
Personality
Fatespeaker is shown as very similar to Sunny, who aspires for peace and friendship. She is often very talkative, and can be a little annoying at times. She is very optimistic and sympathetic, and prefers not to fight. She also can be a tad stubborn, especially about her visions. She secretly regrets her supposed "NightWing powers", saying they are "totally useless."
Relationships
When Starflight arrived at the Night Kingdom in the epilogue of The Hidden Kingdom, Fatespeaker has a feeling he is a part of her destiny. She quickly initiates a friendship with him and follows him around. When battling Flame and Viper, Fatespeaker had trusted Starflight to help her. She says he's "lucky" that he doesn't have any NightWing powers. In The Brightest Night, Fatespeaker is revealed by Sunny to have romantic affections toward Starflight.
As of when Fatespeaker met Sunny, they almost instantly became good friends. They ended up talking to each other, asking questions and sharing information about themselves. However, Sunny occasionally feels jealousy towards Fatespeaker when she is around Starflight.
Some people are thinking that perhaps Sunny is Fatespeaker's twin (or somewhat related). However, this is purely a fanon topic and Tui has made no proof whatsoever of this.
