Mayfly
- "Are you sure? She wasn't hit by an avalanche? Or thrown off a cliff? Or trampled by a herd of hippos? That really happened to a patient of mine. There's no shame in admitting it. Hippos can happen to anyone."
- — Mayfly to Moonwatcher about Kinkajou's injuries, Winter Turning
Mayfly is an adult female MudWing who was introduced in Winter Turning. According to Meerkat, she is the best doctor in Possibility.[1]
Appearance
Mayfly has brown scales and a wide, flat face.[2] Her back left leg and half her tail are covered in blackened and blistered frostbreath scars, and she has two missing claws.[3]
Personality
Mayfly is very strict about her space.[1] When she spotted Hailstorm and Winter looking into her office through the window, she snapped at them, slamming a stinky jar in front of their faces, most likely because of her frostbreath injury, given to her by an IceWing.[3] She gave a professional delivery of Kinkajou's condition to Moonwatcher.[4]
Biography
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
After Kinkajou was attacked by Chameleon (as Shapeshifter), her friends sought out a doctor in Possibility. Qibli asked Meerkat for directions to someone who could help. Upon hearing the name "Mayfly," Winter doubted a MudWing's ability to help, not thinking that there were any MudWings smart enough to become doctors. Qibli and Meerkat reassured him that she was the best doctor in Possibility. After seeing Kinkajou, Mayfly was doubtful that a dragon could have caused the RainWing's injuries. She eventually accepted their story and took Kinkajou and Moonwatcher inside her workplace.
While the others were waiting outside, Hailstorm overheard Mayfly telling Moonwatcher that Kinkajou looked like an IceWing because her scales had turned white with pain. He stuck his head through the window, retorting that Kinkajou looked nothing like an IceWing. Mayfly angrily snapped at Hailstorm and Winter to stop blocking the light, placing a foul-smelling jar on the windowsill for emphasis.
