Mayfly

"Are you sure? She wasn't hit by an avalanche? Or thrown off a cliff? Or trampled by a herd of hippos? That really happened to a patient of mine. There's no shame in admitting it. Hippos can happen to anyone."

— Mayfly to Moonwatcher about Kinkajou in Possibility, Winter Turning

Template:Charbox Mayfly is a female MudWing doctor who was introduced in Winter Turning. She is currently working in Possibility as a doctor, and, according to Meerkat, is one of the best in the town.

Appearance

Mayfly has mud-brown scales and a wide, flat head. She also appears to have some copper scales and pale, pinky-tan underbelly, which is the same color as her wings. Her back leg and the back half of her tail are covered with what is described as "unmistakable" frostbreath scars. Her left back leg also has two missing claws. These wounds were almost certainly inflicted during the war.

Personality

As a doctor, Mayfly appears soft and gentle to Moonwatcher and her friends. Despite this, she is quick to snap at Winter and Hailstorm, indicating that she may dislike IceWings (most likely due to her frostbreath injuries).

Biography

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Winter Turning

After Kinkajou was attacked by Chameleon as Shapeshifter, Hailstorm, Moonwatcher, Qibli, and Winter sought immediate medical attention. Upon arriving at Possibility, the nearest settlement, Qibli asked Meerkat for directions to someone who could help. Upon hearing the name “Mayfly,” and realizing that the doctor was a MudWing, Winter was doubtful that she could help. Qibli and Meerkat, however, reassured him that she was the best doctor in Possibility. After they followed Meerkat to Mayfly's work area and showed her Kinkajou, Mayfly was skeptical that the RainWing’s injuries could have been caused by a dragon. Although she initially interrogated the group for another reason for Kinkajou's wounds, she finally accepted their story and took Kinkajou and Moonwatcher into her workspace so that she could heal Kinkajou.

Whilst the others were waiting outside, Hailstorm overheard Mayfly telling Moonwatcher that Kinkajou looked similar to an IceWing because her scales had turned white with pain. He stuck his head through the window, retorting that Kinkajou looked nothing like an IceWing. In retort, Mayfly angrily snapped at Hailstorm and Winter to stop blocking the light, placing a foul-smelling jar on the windowsill for emphasis.
