Pike
- "But the princess wants that fish!"
- — Pike to Clay, Moon Rising
Template:Charbox Pike is a male SeaWing dragonet. He is a student at Jade Mountain Academy in the Gold Winglet. In Talons of Power, it is revealed that he is a covert guard sent by Queen Coral to protect Princess Anemone.
Appearance
Pike is described as skinny[1] with vivid grey-blue scales[1] and a nick on one ear.[2]
Personality
Throughout Moon Rising, Pike bickers over small matters, mostly when Anemone doesn't get what she wants. He is fierce, overly protective, completely loyal to Anemone, and tries to appear tough. He is also compassionate, as he was seen trying to comfort Tamarin. According to Moonwatcher, his thoughts then begin to trail off, each interrupting each other, much like a raging rhinoceros. Turtle notes that he tries too hard in combat classes and often hurts himself in the process.
Pike also takes his job very seriously, as shown when he finds out Anemone left the Academy. He is terrified of what gruesome punishment Queen Coral would give him for failing his mission. He also seems to doubt Turtle's strength and intelligence, not being reassured when Qibli told him Turtle had gone off with the young SeaWing princess. He said that Turtle was the worst prince in Pyrrhia.
Biography
Pike first appeared when he came close to fighting with Carnelian, thinking that she may have been a part of the army that destroyed the Summer Palace. Clay stepped in, sending Carnelian to her room and taking Pike with him for a walk.
He later appeared in another argument when Anemone requested to have the fish that the NightWing Bigtail, also Pike's clawmate, had already selected. When Bigtail hesitated, saying that he had already chosen it, Pike leaped to Anemone's defense, telling Bigtail to give it to her. Clay came over and stopped him, but Pike told Bigtail that he would pay for what he did.
After the explosion in the history cave occurred, Pike saved Tamarin from dying by submerging her body in the underground lake, which he learned by watching other SeaWings after the Summer Palace was destroyed by Burn's forces.
At the assembly, Moonwatcher read his mind and realized that Pike thought of himself as Anemone's guard. He also thought about Tamarin, pitying her. Pike was suspected to be assigned by Queen Coral to protect Anemone, even though she herself was one of the most dangerous dragons at Jade Mountain Academy. This was confirmed in Talons of Power.
Pike was shown swimming in the underground lake with Anemone and Tamarin when Turtle came to warn his sister about Darkstalker. He was seen to be kind towards Tamarin and cared about her well being, as well as protective to Anemone, as usual. Anemone said that he was sleeping outside of her door when she left to go to the rainforest. He was also in Turtle's flashback of the Talons of Power ceremony, wanting to help Anemone. He is shown as a three-year-old during the Talons of Power ceremony and is noted to take training too seriously, often fighting too hard in training sessions and frequently hurting himself accidentally.
Pike burst into the history class searching for Anemone. When he heard that Anemone has followed Darkstalker, he clutched his head in horror and exclaimed that he had to go after her. He commented that Coral was going to feed him to the sharks for losing her. Webs forced him to stay for the class, as they had enough students missing already.
Trivia
- In Talons of Power, it is confirmed that Queen Coral sent Pike to Jade Mountain to be a bodyguard for Anemone.
