"Thank you for being you. I hope your life is everything it should be."
— Clearsight to Listener before she sent her away from the Night Kingdom to save them from Darkstalker.

Template:Charbox Clearsight was a female NightWing who, as seen in one of her visions, was meant to be Darkstalker's soulmate. Darkstalker himself knew that they were meant to be together too, but Clearsight betrayed him in the end by trapping him in a cave under Agate Mountain for over 2,000 years with an animus-touched bracelet. She lived in the old NightWing Kingdom before she defeated Darkstalker, but traveled to Pantala with the help of her visions across the vast sea later, driven by horrible visions of a hurricane coming to Pantala and killing many of the dragons who lived there. As she saved the dragons who lived there, she fell in love with a dragon named Sunstreak, blessing all of her future HiveWing children with various patterns of black scales.

Before she died, she wrote a book called The Book of Clearsight, which warned the Pantalan tribes about all of the coming plans and dangers of the future. Despite Clearsight's good intentions, her writings were missed by Queen Wasp, who used the Book to gain power for herself and to slay the LeafWing tribe. In current Pantalan culture, Clearsight is worshipped as Pantala's mother and god, as many dragons were seen praying to her in The Lost Continent.

Personality

When she was alive, Clearsight was kind, smart, and funny, always giving others the benefit of the doubt. When her friend Listener made fun of Darkstalker's sister, Whiteout, by nicknaming her "Weirdout," she told her not to be mean. Her empathy was also shown while she rescued the school's scavengers with Listener, releasing them at North Beach to run free.

Appearance

Clearsight was a female NightWing described as beautiful and sleek, with black scales and large, dark purple eyes [1]. She is depicted in Pantalan illustrations as being similar in appearance to Moonwatcher. Darkstalker also mentioned that Clearsight and Moonwatcher looked and acted very similar.

Biography

Darkstalker (Legends)

Clearsight first appeared when she was two years old, frantically trying to sort out all of her possible futures by writing down everything she saw on numerous scrolls. When her father comforted her and told her not to worry so much, Clearsight burst into tears and told him that everything was about to become confusing and out of control, much to her father's dismay.

One year later, Clearsight went to school for the first time. There, she conversed with Professor Truthfinder, who offered her a position with the four-year-old class because of her advanced intelligence; Clearsight quickly declined, as her visions told her that Darkstalker would be in that class. She then found the Tower of Knowledge with the help of her foresight, where she met her teacher, Allknowing, and her classmates: Vision, Morrowwatcher, and Jewel-eyes. However, Clearsight quickly realized that Allknowing and her students had a different, limited version of her power, and saw that this class would bring her nothing but despair and frustration, as Allknowing did not respect Clearsight's advanced abilities and resented her because of them.

Afterwards, Clearsight finally found her actual class, located in room 3A, where the teacher assigned another student named Listener to show her around and befriend her throughout the school day. When Clearsight started to tell Listener about how they'd be friends in the future, Listener kindly asked her to stop, telling her friend that her and her family had superstitions about prophets and their abilities; they'd rather have life take them by surprise. While they were talking, a beautiful hybrid dragonet named Whiteout approached them, missing Listener's muttered nickname for her: "Weirdout." She asked Clearsight if she was the dragon that her brother, Darkstalker, had been waiting for, and Clearsight saw from her visions that if she didn't tell Whiteout the truth, there would be future issues; Whiteout trusted either completely, or not at all. After admitting that she was indeed the dragon that Darkstalker was looking for, Whiteout said that she was very glad that Clearsight had finally arrived. After Whiteout left, Listener said that she was weird; Clearsight tthought that Whiteout was interesting.

Later, at recess, Clearsight finally met her soulmate. After he stood up for Whiteout from a group of irritated NightWing students, Clearsight finally greeted Darkstalker, jokingly commenting on his clever way of sticking up for his sister, displaying his mind-reading ability, and depicting himself as a noble hero all at once. After their conversation, Clearsight touched Darkstalker on the shoulder - but she was plunged into a hurricane of visions, including Darkstalker evilly grinning at the throne, slaughtering others with his magic, laughing in a twisted silver crown - but the other visions consisted of a happy life with their dragonets, at peace, and in love for life.

One day, during a baby hurricane, Darkstalker traveled to Clearsight's house in the pouring rain, inviting her to go with him to the ocean. Upon seeing the ferociously tall waves crashing down on the drenched sand, they decided to shoot for a sea cave to shelter from the storm. There, they started talking about Darkstalker's father, Arctic, and his IceWing heritage, to which Darkstalker revealed his only physical IceWing trait - a white line of scales underneath his wings, connecting his membrane to his body scales. Their conversation was interrupted by a broken, soft sound of pained groaning; the sound turned out to be coming from Current, a SeaWing prince who had sought refuge after Albatross' horrifying attack on the Island Palace. Afterwards, Darkstalker told Queen Vigilance about the SeaWing Massacre; the queen gave Current shelter and resources in exchange for information on the attack.

Talons of Power

Clearsight is only mentioned in part two of the book when Darkstalker goes back to his school in the Night Kingdom/City and found the remains of his painting of Clearsight and restored the painting with his magic. Turtle thought that the proportions were all wrong, particularly in the undersized talons and oversized head, but noticed that Clearsight's eyes made it looked as if she had loved the painter.

Turtle later sets a white marble with a blue moon shape inside of it near Darkstalker's feet while he was distracted. The huge animus noticed it and thought that Clearsight was still there since Turtle is hidden under his spell. He picks it up and tries to talk to her. But after a while, Darkstalker accepted that Clearsight was not alive anymore. Darkstalker then throws the marble angrily into the trees and left the old NightWing school.

At one point, Darkstalker questioned Moon, wondering if Clearsight had dragonets after she "imprisoned" him, because Moon acts almost exactly like Clearsight, worrying about him using his powers too much, so on and so forth.

Darkness of Dragons

Clearsight appears while Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou are at the old NightWing Palace. She is noted by Moon and Qibli to be acting very strangely, as she is trusting and forgiving of Darkstalker, even though she was the one who imprisoned him for being evil. Moon notes to Qibli that she wasn't like the Clearsight that Listener wrote about. Her suspicions were correct as Qibli then follows Clearsight and Darkstalker to an obscure area of the palace, where they discover that Darkstalker has enchanted another dragon to be like Clearsight. When Darkstalker realized she could never be his true love, he turned the dragon back to the original dragon's form, which turned out to be a frustrated Fierceteeth.

The Lost Continent

Clearsight flew to Pantala using her foresight to locate a chain of islands she could use to stop and rest, and to warn them about a devastating hurricane. On an island she met Sunstreak, her future mate, and LeafWing. She warns them to evacuate all dragons to the mainland. There is a book called The Book of Clearsight in modern times on Pantala, which Clearsight wrote, filling it with a thousand years of her visions to assist the future dragons of Pantala. Queen Wasp uses it to support her decisions and act like she knows everything, even though the book is a thousand years outdated by the events of The Lost Continent. She is worshipped greatly for her powers of foresight and contributions to Pantala. The Temple Of Clearsight, where the Book Of Clearsight is kept and the Librarian lives, is a huge and beautiful temple in Wasp Hive built in her honor. Blue, Cricket, and Sundew pass a giant portrait of her with offerings piled around it.

Personality

Kind, neurotic, and willful, Clearsight was fundamentally shaped by her precognition; obsessive about steering the future onto a better path - similarly to Darkstalker - she shied away from friendship and social affairs, knowing her connections to the ambitious Darkstalker and strong foresight placed her in a precarious position where one false move could topple the tribe. Naturally, she was as intelligent as Darkstalker, having foreseen all manner of happenings across the continent and using her ample free time to read up.

Quotes

"If I miss a day here or give a wrong answer here or share my scroll with this hapless dragon here, the entire tribe might die." Clearsight, talking about her timeline scrolls.

"I... looked? Into the future?" Clearsight explaining how she found the seer class.

"You lunatic." Clearsight to Darkstalker when he enchanted the history scroll to read itself aloud.

"Beware of your two queens, beware of your own power. Your claws will betray you in your final hour." Clearsight's prophecy to Prince Arctic.

"The hardest part about being a seer is that the future is always a million possibilities - I can see so many ways my life could possibly go. But the past is only one thing. Once something happens, that's it. I can't change it anymore. I can't do anything. All my possibilities narrow into one fixed life, and then we're trapped in that world. I think I can control the future, but the past - it's gone. I can't fix it anymore." Clearsight to Prince Fathom when discussing her powers of foresight.

"Or maybe it's just part of you, something you hatched with. Maybe that's what you really got from your father, along with your magic. Maybe you were always going to turn out this way, no matter how I tried to save you." - Clearsight's last words to Darkstalker before he goes into his 2000 year sleep.

"Good-bye, my dearest love." - Clearsight's last thought to Darkstalker before he goes into his 2000 year sleep.

"No, rattlesnake will make me hiccup during the introduction circle. Fish could make my talons slippery so I land awkwardly. I'll have a squirrel; I can see that has no unfortunate consequences." -Clearsight to her mother, Swiftwings, about what she's going to have for breakfast before school

"It's not that simple. It's not 'here's your life, that's the way it will be.' It's every possible life, all the things that could happen to me and the tribe, and it all depends on what I do next. But there are so many-I can't keep track- and the further I look into the future, the more confusing and random it gets..." - To her father about her seer powers.

Known prophecies

Beware your two queens,

beware your own power.

Your claws will betray you

in your final hour.

The SeaWing brings death.

- To herself (SeaWing refers to Fathom)

Trivia

  • Her power is stated to be stronger than any future-teller the NightWings have had for generations (though she only hatched under one moon), so she can see nearly all possible futures. This has been proven to be even more powerful than Darkstalker's future-seeing abilities. 
  • Her strong foresight sometimes comes out as prophecies, for example "The SeaWing brings death. The SeaWing brings salvation. Don't let him come. He must come, or all is lost." and "Beware your two queens, beware your own power. Your claws will betray you in your final hour".
  • One of Prince Fathom and Indigo's dragonets, Clearpool, was named after Clearsight.
  • Because of the fact that NightWing names most likely relate to their abilities, in this case, Clearsight can have "sights" of the future "clearer" than other NightWing seers.
  • Clearsight has stronger than average foresight because she's the kind of dragon who thought more about it from a young age.
  • Tui said Clearsight was one of the easiest characters to write because "being that worried and imagining a million futures is like being a writer in the middle of a story".
