Starflight is a NightWing and one of the five dragonets of the prophecy.

Biography

Starflight was brought as an egg to the Talons of Peace by the NightWing Morrowseer. He hatched and was raised by the guardians along with the other dragonets Clay, Glory, Tsunami, and Sunny. After a daring escape, he and the rest of the dragonets were caught by Scarlet, queen of the SkyWings.

Chained to a spire of rock away from his friends, Starflight despaired of ever escaping. He was eventually pitted against Tsunami in a gladitorial style battle, of which Scarlet was fond. He and Tsunami refused to fight, however, and Scarlet released three Scavengers for them to battle. After a fierce battle in which all three Scavengers were defeated, Queen Scarlet declared that they would have to face off against multiple Icewings, who hate NightWings with a passion.

Just as all seemed lost, Morrowseer showed up with hundreds of other NightWings and rescued only Starflight, leaving the other dragonets. He then took Starflight away to a cave in the mountains.

Starflight was then returned to the group of dragonets later after they finally escaped Scarlet's clutches, with orders from Morrowseer to tear them apart from the inside-he is now a traitor.

Personality

Starflight is shown to be fascinated by history and reading, and is often a source of frustration to the others, due to a tendancy to give long, semi-boring lectures. He was brought to the Talons of Peace by Morrowseer another NightWing, who is the one who received the prophecy. He is also not a fighter, and prefers to hide-he will often go into a "terrified stalagmite" pose when frightened or confronted with a situation where he must fight.
