Biography
Pre-Series
Umber was hatched along with Reed, Sora, Pheasant, Crane, and Marsh. Due to Clay being sold to the Talons of Peace for two or more cows, they were raised with Reed as their Bigwings instead.
Years later, Clay made his way back to the Mud Kingdom. Umber was the first sibling to encounter Clay, and he was lying in a mud puddle when Clay walked past and waved at him. The others soon found Clay, and were overjoyed to see him. They helped Clay make peace with himself and, despite protests, let Clay go.
In the prologue, Umber and his siblings fought off some attacking IceWings. Clay's siblings all appear to hate the war, therefore they debated joining the Talons of Peace. In the Dark Secret Umber was known as not liking the war and the most timid of them all.
He and his siblings are seen when Sunny and Clay go to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. Umber hugs Clay when the group realizes his presence. He is reluctant to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings. In the epilogue, Clay says that he would love to have Umber and his siblings be students at the Jade Mountain school. Clay also said that Umber's history wasn't good.
Umber, along with his siblings Sora and Marsh, is one of the first students to attend the Jade Mountain Academy, and he is placed in the Jade Winglet. When he meets the other members of the Jade Winglet, Moon overhears that he thinks Qibli is "gorgeous". How ever it is unknown how he feels about this as in if he wants to be a friend or the other way.
After learning that his sister Sora attempted to kill Icicle using a Dragonflame Cactus - resulting in the deaths of Carnelian and Bigtail - Umber decides to leave the Academy with his sister in order to keep her safe. Umber hugs Qibli and Moon as he leaves, and Moon feels his "longing and heartbreak and loyalty like a physical pain".

Quotes
"I hate this war, I don't understand what we're even fighting for. Who cares who the SandWing Queen is? I've never met Burn and I don't want to. Why am I fighting an IceWing over a throne that has nothing to do with either of us?"
"When do we eat? Just kidding. Pretending to be Clay."
"Sora, it's okay. I love you anyway."
