He was hinted to be in a relationship with Fierceteeth as of The Brightest Night. He is most likely free from the SandWing Stronghold, as of Prisoners.
Personality
Fierceteeth describes Strongwings as "not the sharpest claw on the dragon." He is clumsy and not very smart, often getting into trouble with Mastermind because of his clumsiness. He even considers himself not very smart. Even so, he cares deeply about Fierceteeth, a feeling she shares towards him.
Biography
Strongwings was the lab assistant of Mastermind. He wanted to have a helmet like Mastermind's. However, since Mastermind only had one, he refused.
Tsunami forced Strongwings to swear allegiance to Queen Glory when the NightWings evacuated their island, which he did not seem pleased about. However, he then reluctantly muttered "Queen Glory."
Strongwings was one of the dragons who captured Sunny. Their hope was to hold Sunny hostage, so a NightWing could take control of the rainforest, overthrowing Glory. Strongwings hoped to be the king, explaining why he helped Fierceteeth.
He, Fierceteeth, and Preyhunter fell asleep and were played a trick on by Sunny, so she could steal the Obsidian Mirror. She wrote them a message that stated "TURN BACK. YOU FLY TOWARD YOUR DEATH.", which arose Strongwings' superstitions of Darkstalker and the legends of him.
When they arrived at the Scorpion Den to send a message to Burn, Thorn killed Preyhunter and the other two NightWings were put "somewhere unpleasant".
It was mentioned by Qibli that Thorn had sent him and Fierceteeth back to Glory as her prisoners. They may be released some time between books 7-10.
During Prisoners, Strongwings, along with Fierceteeth, is trapped in a SandWing dungeon. Fierceteeth said he snored while she was making all the plans.
In one of Fierceteeth's letters to Saguaro, she tells a story about her relationship with Strongwings. According to the story, Strongwings and Fierceteeth once snuck to the rainforest, and they were punished together. Fierceteeth says that if Saguaro decides to help her escape, Strongwings has to go with her.
According to Fierceteeth, Strongwings has been a loyal friend to her, even if he snores, eats and maybe doesn't do much.
