Thoughtful
- "You noticed? No one... you really saw the pieces of scroll inside the waves? I can't believe you saw them! Nobody's ever understood one of my pieces before."
- — Thoughtful to Whiteout, Darkstalker
Template:Charbox Thoughtful was a male NightWing dragonet who appears in Darkstalker (Legends). He is first seen stacking scrolls at the game pavilion during Queen Vigilance's Glass Jubilee. Listener had a crush on him, but Clearsight saw that he was destined to be with Whiteout, Darkstalker's sister. He was said to have a similar way of thinking to Whiteout, which leads her to this conclusion.
Appearance
Thoughtful wears silver wires around his horns that hangs circles of glass in front of each of his eyes (spectacles), and is described by Clearsight as being handsome, but with a kind and worried aura.
Biography
While Darkstalker, Prince Fathom, and Whiteout were playing Scales-and-squares, Thoughtful asked if anyone would like to do a scroll stacking challenge with him. Listener, who was nearby, started to go with him, but Clearsight, who saw that he was destined to be with Whiteout, introduced him to her. After a short talk about Thoughtful's glasswork, Cascade of Dreams (which only Thoughtful and Whiteout seemed to actually understand), the two walked away to play their game. After Quickdeath failed to assassinate Darkstalker and was killed by Lionfish, Thoughtful was the one who identified the body. He guarded the body with Whiteout while Darkstalker and his friends set off to find out who had hired Quickdeath. Later on, Darkstalker asked Whiteout about her new admirer and she says she liked Thoughtful. He gave her a glass-blown shell. He was one of the reasons Prince Arctic decided to take Whiteout to the Ice Kingdom since Arctic, apparently, didn't like him. Thoughtful also appeared after Arctic's gruesome death, pushing through the crowd to comfort Whiteout. Thoughtful and Whiteout most likely left the Night Kingdom together, and eventually married each other.
When Darkstalker awakened, he arrived at the Jade Mountain library, where he asked Starflight for scrolls about what happened to his family. He briefly mentioned his sister, comparing her to Sunny, and the dragon she fell in love with. It can be assumed that this “glassblowing dragon with the spectacles” is Thoughtful.

Trivia
- Since Darkstalker did not have any dragonets, all NightWing animus dragons are descended from Whiteout and Thoughtful. This means that he is an ancestor of Stonemover and Princess Sunny.
- The circles of glass in front of Thoughtful's eyes most likely act as glasses, which shows him as the first near-sighted dragon mentioned in the series that isn't blind and has something to help him see, also proving that NightWings were very scientifically advanced before fleeing from the Old NightWing Kingdom.
- Unlike most dragons, Thoughtful seems to know what Whiteout means when she talks. This could mean that Thoughtful has a very powerful mind-reading power, as he is able to talk to Whiteout very successfully, while Darkstalker, Whiteout's brother, could only see her thoughts in color. Either that, or he simply understands her very well.
- He is the first dragon that is shown to have glasses, the others being Lady Scarab, Cricket and Malachite.
