Asha
- "That's Asha, all right. She was always softhearted and mushy about crazy things. She loved mooning around little dragonets, telling them the story of that prophecy. She left a lot of blithering, obsessed dreamy-eyed dragons behind in this village, let me tell you; they still won't shut up about about destiny and peace and all of that."
- — Cattail to Clay about Asha, The Dragonet Prophecy
Template:Charbox Asha was a female MudWing and a member of the Talons of Peace. She was Cattail's sister, and therefore also the aunt of Clay and his siblings. Cattail described Asha as very kind, and stated that she told stories about the Dragonet Prophecy to dragonets. Asha died of wounds that she sustained after being caught in the crossfire between Blaze's and Blister's forces while bringing Clay's unhatched egg to the Talons' secret mountain hideout. She ended up successfully delivering the egg to the Talons of Peace, but soon died of her wounds.
Personality
Cattail claimed that Asha was "always soft-hearted and mushy about everything" and that "she left a lot of blithering, obsessed, dreamy-eyed dragons behind in the village". This may suggest that Asha was kindhearted and sensitive, with a lot of faith in the prophecy that she tried to help others see. She was portrayed as gentle and caring, as well as possibly a good parental figure, unlike the rest of the MudWing parents. It seems Asha cared more about the well being of dragonets than an average MudWing. Clay reflects on how her presence would have improved the dragonets' lives, and how she likely would have taught him more about MudWing customs and traditions.

Trivia
- The name "Asha" also means "hope" in Sanskrit or "life" in Swahili, which is most likely why Tui T. Sutherland picked her name, as Asha was filled with hope about the success of the prophecy.
- In the annotated version of The Dragonet Prophecy, Tui said that she might tell Asha's story someday, perhaps in a Winglet book.
- If Asha had survived her wounds, she would've been a guardian of the Dragonets of Destiny, and Clay's teacher about the ways of the MudWing tribe.
- Asha is one of the only three known MudWings in the Talons of Peace. The others are Crocodile and an unnamed female MudWing.
- Clay thought that, if she had survived, Asha would care for the dragonets (unlike Kestrel). Whether Kestrel and Asha would have gotten along is unknown, though we can assume that their personality conflicts would have prevented it.
