- — Pheasant, about their Bigwings
Template:Charbox Pheasant is a female Mudwing with light brown eyes[1]. She is one of Clay's six living siblings. Her mother is Cattail, with Asha being her aunt, and her and her siblings' father is still unknown, and will likely remain unknown. She does not attend Jade Mountain Academy, while her sister Sora and brothers Umber and Marsh do. Pheasant stayed in the Mud Kingdom with her older brother, Reed.
History
Pre-Series
Pheasant hatched along with Reed, Sora, Marsh, Crane, and Umber. She was raised with Reed standing in for bigwings due to Clay being absent and sold by Cattail to the Talons of Peace for some cows in order to fulfill the Dragonet Prophecy.
Near the end of the book, Clay made his way back to the Mud Kingdom. His siblings encountered him and were overjoyed to find him. They helped him make peace with himself, and despite protests, unwillingly let him go. Pheasant even states that maybe Clay is their bigwings.
In the prologue, IceWings attack, and she comes to Sora's rescue. The troop escapes, and Pheasant said she gained interest in and started to read about the prophecy after they found out Clay was part of it, being the 'wings of earth'. At the end, she hopes that Clay will end the war soon.
Pheasant and her siblings are seen when Sunny and Clay go to the Mud Kingdom to send a message to Burn. Pheasant is wary to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings.
Umber mentions Pheasant and Reed doing some work for Queen Moorhen.
