Moonwatcher
From Wings of Fire Fandom Mirror
- "I mean, no one is completely evil … Dragons are complicated. Some are kinder than others, or braver than others, and some of them do really cruel things. But everyone has both good thoughts and bad thoughts and reasons for what they do, reasons that they believe are important."
- — Moonwatcher to Qibli and Winter, Winter Turning

Quotes
- "No. I don't want to be … like other dragons. I just want them to not mind that I'm different, if that makes sense. I want to stop being scared — of being found out, of what my visions mean, of other dragons, of everything."
- ― to Darkstalker (Moon Rising, page 61)
- "All right. But please stop trying to scare me. You are not as terrifying as you think you are."
- ― to Winter (Moon Rising, page 92)
- "If I couldn't read minds, everyone I met would be like Turtle — completely unreadable. Strange and blank. I'd have no way to know if they were kind or cruel. I'd never understand why they act the way they do. Everyone would be all surface. I'd think Winter was just mean; I wouldn't know about his dead brother and how he hates himself more than anyone else. I might think Qibli was just goofy and ordinary, if I didn't know about his layers and his amazing mind and his childhood. I'd have stayed away from Kinkajou, because I wouldn't have known or believed that she really liked me. I guess that's how other dragons live … never knowing how complicated everyone is. That's what it would be like, to be normal."
- ― thoughts about her powers (Moon Rising, page 198)
- "That just seems kind of wrong, doesn't it? I mean, judging dragons by their dark thoughts, and using that to justify spying on them? Lots of dragons think dark things sometimes; it doesn't mean they'll ever actually do them … I don't know, I guess I don't like to think of myself as sneaking around in dragons' heads. I can't help what I hear, but it doesn't seem fair to do it on purpose."
- ― to Qibli (Moon Rising, page 233)
- "You can't give up. Of course it's hard; the whole point is that you're trying to fix something that's nearly impossible to fix. But if no one ever tries, then it will always be terrible. You and Clay and the others … dragons believe in you. You have to take that gift and do something with it, not run away from it."
- ― to Sunny, about Jade Mountain Academy (Moon Rising, page 281)
- "I mean, no one is completely evil … Dragons are complicated. Some are kinder than others, or braver than others, and some of them do really cruel things. But everyone has both good thoughts and bad thoughts and reasons for what they do, reasons that they believe are important."
- ― to Winter (Winter Turning, page 77)
- "Because I think she's the kind of dragon you respect. And I think you wouldn't want to start a war between the IceWings and both of her tribes. I think you can imagine what killing her would do to Pyrrhia, and you know it would be bad. Also, you're her guest; she's welcomed and trusted you. You aren't the kind of dragon who betrays someone's trust. I've already been in there for one thing — I know you. And I've watched you. I saw you put out the fire in the history cave. I saw you save me and Starflight from your own sister. I think you can think bigger than just one tribe against another — you can think about what's best for all the tribes. I guess I just — I trust you."
- ― to Winter, about Glory (Winter Turning, page 119)
- "I told her because it's the right thing to do, and because there's no way to give her any skyfire, and also because I am hoping that if she knows I'm listening, she'll try to have less disturbing thoughts."
- ― to Qibli, about Peril (Escaping Peril, page 110)
- "Not everyone has to be a scrollworm. For you, other dragons are like scrolls — you love meeting new ones and trying to read them. You're always thinking about how other dragons think and what they're like on the inside. That's what ... I mean, that's one of the interesting things about you."
- ― to Qibli (Darkness of Dragons, page 237)
- "Talking to Darkstalker? It's the right thing to do. I want to see what he says when he's confronted with his lies. And I want to hear how he's justified the IceWing plague to himself. I think I'm one of the few dragons left he'll at least try to be honest with — I mean, about himself and his reasons for what he does — unless I'm completely delusional about our friendship. But I think he wants me to agree with him so he can feel like he's doing the right thing."
- ― to Qibli (Darkness of Dragons, page 264)
- "But that's why she feels wrong to you, Darkstalker. Because this is wrong, this ... experimenting with other dragons. Trying to create a perfect dragon for yourself. Trying to change someone to be exactly what you think you want. That's not love."
- ― to Darkstalker (Darkness of Dragons, page 271)
- "We still have to stop the fighting. If I put this down, I can reach Darkstalker's mind. I'll try to talk him into ending the battle. It seems kind of fitting that this started with us talking in our minds, and maybe that's how it'll end, too."
- ― to Qibli, about the Battle of Jade Mountain (Darkness of Dragons, page 314)
- "Qibli. How are you so brilliant and such an idiot at the same time? You are special. You don't need his poisoned magic, or any magic. You're smart and you're brave and you care and you don't give up and you take all of that and use it to help other dragons instead of yourself. That's better than magic. You did the right thing."
- ― to Qibli (Darkness of Dragons, page 341-342)
- "The future of Pyrrhia is not your own personal scroll, waiting for you to write it, Darkstalker. The only future you control is yours. And you have not brought happiness to the dragon tribes. We don't want that future you see if we have to travel down your dark path to get there."
- ― to Darkstalker (Darkness of Dragons, page 350)
- "I know [...] But remember, we're not going to confront Wasp. Our mission is to find out what's in the abyss that Queen Snowfall saw with her vision from the ring. And hopefully it'll be a way to save your friends without needing any magic or, um...stabbing"
- ― To Luna about the mission (The Flames of Hope, page 25)
