Template:SpoilerDarkstalkerTemplate:Infobox CharacterIndigo is a SeaWing dragonet that appears in Darkstalker(Legends). She is described with dark blue-purple scales, claws, and dark, blue eyes. Indigo is a childhood friend of Fathom's who never leaves his side despite not having a drop of noble blood. In the future, they fall in love and run away to an island off the coast of the Rain Kingdom.
Biography
In the first chapter, Indigo is shown messing around when she was supposed to be sitting still and waiting. She constantly teases Fathom and challenges him to disobey orders, which he does not. Queen Lagoon and Prince Albatross appear and scold her, and she bravely talks back while hiding her own fear. When Fathom politely asks the coconut to hit Albatross, she teases him yet again, possibly motivating him to reveal his animus abilities. She is awestruck and asks why he never told her about his powers, to which he responds that he didn't know he had them.
Later, while she, Fathom, and Pearl are at tutoring, Albatross sends a messenger for Fathom. Not wanting to leave his side, Indigo sneaks away to watch what they are doing. She is discovered spying on them and threatened by punishment from Albatross.
Appearance
She has dark purple eyes, which is the same color as her seaweed necklace. Her scales are a deep purplish-blue (more purple than blue) and claws dark blue and purple (more blue than purple). At the Royal family gathering where Albatross massacred most of the family, she wore a pearl necklace and bracelet with different shades of pink that ranged from almost white to deep rose.
Relationships
(Can be summarized) She has never left his side almost ever since their hatching. Throughout their whole lives, he has shown great compassion for her along with her returning the same. Due to her bond with Fathom, she has been invited to royal family gatherings despite being the only one there without a drop of royal blood. When Albatross became mad from using too much animus magic, she refused to let Fathom die by him, which led her to sacrificing herself to distract Albatross in order for Fathom to kill him with a spear from behind. Although it was never mentioned, she is presumed to have become grieved with by her year-long separation with Fathom since she was promoted to the queen's honor guard. She even insisted on guarding him when he is sent to the Night Kingdom to kill their animus. Throughout their time in the Night Kingdom, she pretends to be only as a bodyguard of Fathom in fear of Darkstalker trying to use his magic on Fathom and on anyone Fathom cared about deeply. She also becomes very protective of him and very suspicious around Darkstalker up to the point of almost killing Darkstalker for tricking him, and smashing a goblet that Darkstalker gave as a gift which actually turned out to be enchanted. She is then "brought back to life" by Fathom and she tells him she doesn't care if he is an animus at all as long as he uses his powers for good. Five years after Darkstalker is sent to enternal sleep, she has dragonets with Fathom and her and family are living on a deserted island away from the Sea Kingdom's palaces.
Almost immediately after meeting Darkstalker, Indigo did not trust him and often thought of him in a similar way to Albatross. She showed little trust towards him and almost killed him not too long after their first introduction. she was eventually trapped into a dragon carving by Darkstalker, and she is stuck there until near the end of the book where Fathom used his animus magic to free her.
For a majority of her life, Indigo and Pearl had a sisterly relationship, with Indigo always helping her to fit in among the royals. However, after the death of Albatross, Indigo was promoted to be her head guard and Fathom was ordered to stay away from her. This action sported a rather chilly relationship between the two as a result.
