Prickle
Template:SpoilerDoD Template:Charbox Prickle is a female SandWing who appears in the prologue of Darkness of Dragons. She is Palm's twin sister, and is taken away to prison instead of Palm because they look so much alike.
Appearance
Prickle has patterns of light brown scales freckled across her paler yellow scales, much like her sister. Compared to Palm, she looks more lean and weathered because of living on her own in the desert for two years. She wears earrings made of fire opal that were originally Palm's, but her sister gave them to her for being allowed to stay in her hut for one night while fleeing from the guards.
Biography
When Fierceteeth is trying to get Saguaro to hear her story, she mentions a "gibbering mad SandWing a few cages down who never shuts up." The SandWing she is referring to is Prickle.
Palm appears at the door of Prickle's hut, where Prickle grudgingly lets her sister in, who is being chased by the queen's soldiers. They argue a bit over Smolder, Prickle probably disliking him, but then the soldiers break into Prickle's hut. They take Prickle away, not knowing the difference between the two sisters, even though Agave recognized Palm but didn't say anything about it.
While Smolder and Onyx are hiding from the sandstorm, Prickle begins screaming at them from her cell about her innocence and her plans of vengeance against Palm. Thorn explains that they would have freed her, but approaching the cell ends in injuries for her soldiers so they decided to leave her. She was likely starved many times in the past by Burn's negligence.
Quotes
"Are the queen's guards chasing you right now? Did you lead them to me? I will not be murdered for your mistakes."
"Hand them over, or keep flying right now."
"You have the brains of a sunaddled camel."
Trivia
- A prickle is a short, slender, sharp-pointed outgrowth on the bark or epidermis of a plant. In short, a small thorn.
- She is apparently the identical twin of Palm, since the SandWing guards mistook Prickle for her.
- She is the SandWing prisoner mentioned by Fierceteeth in Prisoners.
