Ostrich (TBN)
Ostrich is a SandWing dragonet that lived in the Scorpion Den. She is the daughter of Six-Claws the Outclaw and a student at the Jade Mountain Academy, attending the Silver Winglet. She was descripted in The Brightest Night as Small, with a barb that was not yet fully developed, and scales so pale they are almost white. She seems to be getting pushed around a lot by Anemone, but there also seems to be a possibility that they have befriended each other.
Biography
During Sunny's time at the Scorpion Den, Ostrich was kidnapped and held hostage by Addax, as part of his plan to regain his place in Burn's army. He threatened to kill Ostrich if Six-Claws would not hand over Sunny, which prompted Sunny to come over willingly. To prevent Thorn and the other Outclaws from immediately attacking him or following him, Addax released Ostrich a while after his group began flying toward Burn's stronghold.
Ostrich is in the Silver Winglet at the Jade Mountain Academy. Ostrich helped Qibli and Moonwatcher figure out Onyx. It was quoted that "The little SandWing was young but smart, and although she wasn't sure what Qibli was fishing for she instinctively knew how to help him get past the older dragons defenses." (Moon Rising pg 239) Ostrich is also seen following Anemone in the prey center after the fight between Pike and a NightWing.
Quotes
"Qibli! Are you going home? I might go home. Do you think Father and Thorn would be mad if I went home?"
"I like the silver scales by your eyes. They're not diamonds, are they? I wish I had some treasure, or scales that looked like treasure. They're pretty." (To Moon)
"Can I see it?"
Trivia
- There is a chance that she could be the SandWing protagonist of Book 10. Another possibility is Qibli, another SandWing mentioned in both The Brightest Night and Moon Rising.
- At one point, Sunny thought Six-Claws was her father, which would make Ostrich her half-sister. However, this is proven to be false, as Stonemover is Sunny's real father.
