Sirocco
Template:Infobox Character Sirocco is a female SandWing mentioned in Moon Rising. They are one of Qibli's older siblings, the other being Rattlesnake who often helped to bully and torment Qibli (who is the younger brother) before Qibli joined the Outclaws. Qibli sometimes thinks or dreams about Sirocco and Rattlesnake doing mean things to him, such as when they threatened him with their barbed tails in exchange for a talonful of date palms. In Moon's vision and Escaping Peril they are described as a huge, bulky dragon, wearing a medallion with a type of bird etched on it. Sirocco and Rattlesnake seem to be working for someone, possibly Onyx.
Biography
Moonwatcher has a vision about Qibli fighting Rattlesnake and Sirocco, with an older male dragon glowering at him as well, shouting "Where is she?"
Qibli compares Sirocco or Rattlesnake to Icicle, telling Winter that he also has a sinister older sister.
Peril and Turtle see Sirocco and Rattlesnake arguing with a SkyWing about the price of Dragonflame Cactus. One of them lashes her tail and kicks a cacti towards Peril, which explodes against her firescales.
Turtle almost thinks one of the SandWings was Qibli.
Though (so far) they have not formally appeared, an explosion was reported in the Western Oasis in which two dragons died. Since they were previously shown purchasing Dragonflame Cactus, which causes explosions, with their sibling, they are suspected to be involved.
