"You said, 'Hey, sparkling teeth, I totally love three of your claws but not the others, and I wish your nose was a herring so I could eat it, and also your wings sound like sharks snoring.'"
— Riptide to Tsunami repeating what she accidentally said in Aquatic in The Lost Heir.

Template:Charbox

Riptide is a male SeaWing introduced in The Lost Heir as a member of the Talons of Peace and a patrol guard for the SeaWings. Queen Coral seems to hate him for being the son of Webs, a former guardian of the dragonets, and she thinks of his family as traitors and cowards, as Webs ran away in the middle of a battle and later came back to the Kingdom to steal Tsunami's egg for the prophecy. Queen Coral sometimes calls him "creature," as seen in The Lost Heir. He also taught Tsunami some Aquatic, and in Winter Turning, he asked Winter if they had brought a message for him from Tsunami. He is currently the leader of the Talons of Peace, or whatever the movement has become, according to Webs in Moon Rising and Winter Turning. Tsunami has a crush on Riptide and he most likely feels the same; however, she still does not like that he lied to her about being part of the Talons of Peace. 

Appearance

Riptide has sky blue scales [1], dark blue horns[1], a pale underbelly[2], and dark blue eyes that are nearly black in appearance [3]. He also has several scars: an old bite mark on his tail[2], Claw mark scars across his underbelly[2], and slash marks across his snout from Tsunami[2]. He is described as "handsome" by Tsunami, although she also says that she somewhat spoiled his good looks when they fought in The Lost Heir.

Biography

Pre-Series

Riptide hatched two years before Webs fled in the middle of a battle. Webs later came back and stole Tsunami's egg from Queen Coral's Royal Hatchery so that he could fulfill the prophecy. Because of this, Webs became his tribe's most notorious traitor, and condemned his son to a life of hate. Queen Coral despised Webs for fleeing for what he had done, and she strongly distrusted Riptide, saying that "betrayal ran in his family". She assigned Riptide the lowest of duties, guarding the border SeaWing territory, as far away from the palaces as possible. Riptide had been interested in knowing more about his father ever since. Because of this, he joined the Talons of Peace to find out about his father, though they told him nothing about Webs except that he was safe. He secretly passed on SeaWing information to the Talons for years.

L'héritier perdu

Riptide a rencontré étrangement Tsunami tout en errant dans l'océan. Celui-ci, ne parlant pas le aquatic qu'il a sans le vouloir, dit en aquatique qu'elle a aimé. Voulant la prendre dans ses bras, il est violemment repoussé par Tsunami. L'affaire arrangée, il conduit les dragons du destin au Summer Palace, après avoir été interrogé par le frère de la reine, Shark . La reine Coral a toujours rencontré sa fille perdue depuis longtemps, Tsunami, et lui a révélé que les Webs étaient son père; à cause de cela, Riptide ne m'a pas fait confiance. Tsunami, cependant, a estimé qu'il était injuste de punir Riptide pour ce que son père avait fait.

Riptide a suivi Tsunami de loin et l'aide à plusieurs reprises en mer. Il doit protéger les dragons du destin et montrer qu'il est très attaché au tsunami. Après la première leçon d'aquatique avec Whirlpool de Tsunami , qui lui a appris rien, elle est allée à Riptide. Riptide a enseigné à Tsunami un peu de base aquatique, et ils sont devenus amis. Plus tard, lorsque le tsunami prend le rôle de protéger le dernier œuf femelle de la Reine Coral , Riptide lui montre le chemin du Palais d'Eté. Quand Tsunami est retourné au Palais d'été et est allé voir ses amis, Riptide est parti avant qu'il soit signalé loin de son poste de garde. Après son départ,Gloire à l' accusé Tsunami d'aimer Riptide, et Tsunami à l'instant nié, bien qu'elle l'aime vraiment.

Le jour suivant, les sites Web ont été trouvés au Palais d'Eté et Coral a décidé de l'exécution plus tard pour ses crimes. Peu de temps après, Riptide a été trouvé dans le train de faufiler à l'extérieur du palais. Coral a accusé Riptide de travailler avec son père et les deux jetés en prison, malgré les protestations de Tsunami. Coral était convaincue que les Webs étaient l'assassin qui avait tué ses héritiers pendentif des années, et elle a voulu que son dernier œuf (qui était gardé par Tsunami) soit remis dans l'écloserie royale. Cependant, Tsunami savait que Webs'était pas l'assassin et que l'œuf était toujours en danger. Elle a conclu un marché que si elle attrapait l'assassin, elle devrait laisser partir Riptide.La reine Coral, pensant qu'elle avait déjà l'assassin, était d'accord.

Cette nuit-là, Tsunami est resté dans l'écloserie avec le dernier œuf femelle. L'assassin s'est avéré être une statue d' Orca , placée à l'intérieur de l'écloserie. La statue est restée là après sa mort, tuant toutes les filles de Coral. Tsunami a survécu à son attaque et sauvé la dernière fille de la reine Coral. La statue a été plus tard détruite par Coral.

Coral a accepté de libérer Riptide mais a dit qu'il ne pouvait pas rester avec les SeaWings. Les dragonnets avaient décidé de quitter le royaume de la mer , et Tsunami a suggéré qu'il pourrait venir avec eux. Blister , cependant, qui était au palais à l'époque, ne voulait pas que les dragonnets partent. Pour les empêcher de partir, Blister a dupé la reine Coral pour qu'elle mette les dragons dans sa prison. Anémone, La plus jeune soeur de Tsunami, s'est échappée de sa mère et a libéré les dragons. Les dragonets ont alors libéré Riptide et Webs de leur cage et se sont alors préparés à partir. Riptide révéla alors à Tsunami qu'il avait rejoint les Serres de Paix afin d'apprendre plus sur son père, bien qu'ils ne disaient rien. Tsunami était furieux contre Riptide pour lui avoir menti, mais au même moment, le palais SeaWing est attaqué par les SkyWings et les MudWings , qui ont suivi les Webs jusqu'au Palais d'Eté. Les dragons et les Webs se sont échappés, mais Riptide est resté pour battre  l' alliance de Burn . Tsunami n'était pas sûr d'avoir pardonné à Riptide de lui avoir menti, mais elle espérait le revoir.

The Brightest Night

Riptide was seen when Sunny, Tsunami, and Ochre go to the Talons of Peace's camp. There, he explained a few of the significant members of the Talons of Peace, such as Flame's mother, Avalanche. He is also present at Burn's stronghold near the end of the book, and helps to hold Clay down while Peril burns the venom from the dragonbite viper out of Clay's leg.

Moon Rising

Riptide is mentioned by Webs in the Jade and Gold Winglets' history class as 'the leader of whatever the Talons of Peace are becoming'.

Winter Turning

Riptide was seen in the book when Qibli, Winter, Kinkajou, and Moonwatcher were looking for somebody in the Talons of Peace who could point them to a spot in the Sky Kingdom, as he was the leader of the Talons of Peace ever since Nautilus stepped down. Moonwatcher sees the mysterious place where Icicle was dreamvisited by Scarlet and sketches it. He gets Avalanche and Pyrite, two Talons, to help them to look for it. He then asks if Tsunami had a message for him, and is happy to find out that she thinks about him a lot from Moon, but he doesn't want to contact her until she contacts him first.

Escaping Peril

When Peril and Turtle are found by the Talons of Peace, Turtle asks where Tsunami is. Nautilus says she went with Riptide and his group.

Personality

Riptide is displayed as being a kind-hearted, charming individual with a sense of humor. He wants to avoid getting his father's reputation, that of a traitor. Riptide greatly cares for Tsunami, and it is inferred that he has a crush on her. In Winter Turning, his eyes lit up at the mention of Jade Mountain Academy, where he knew Tsunami was staying, and he immediately asked how she was. However, since he tricked Tsunami and didn't tell her he was working with the Talons of Peace, it can be inferred that he has a more deceptive side. He seems to have turned over a new leaf as leader of the Talons of Peace.
