"I'm sorry, Umber. I didn't mean for anyone else to get hurt."
— Sora to Umber about the history room explosion, Moon Rising

Template:Charbox Sora is a small female MudWing. She is one of Clay's six siblings, and the fourth-hatched dragonet of Cattail. She is a former soldier in the War of SandWing Succession, as well as a former student of the Gold Winglet at Jade Mountain Academy.

Sora was responsible for the deaths of Carnelian and Bigtail, and the severe injury of Tamarin. She is currently on the run with Umber after the events of Moon Rising.

Personality

Sora is described as being shy, hard to talk to, and extremely introverted. However, she was said to speak more often prior to the death of her sister, Crane. She was described to be mentally "fragile" by Darkstalker, and has a "calming ritual" where she "pours mud" over all her thoughts. This is reminiscent of Moonwatcher's raindrop method to clear her mind. While attempting to kill Icicle, she unintentionally hid her thoughts from Moon while trying to 'bury' her guilt in mud. Sora spent a lot of time at Jade Mountain Academy in the library, as Moon had seen her reading a scroll about IceWings. Similarly to Moon, she likes to read.

Sora is incredibly loyal to her siblings, a MudWing trait. She has little to no regard for other dragon's lives in Moon Rising, where she is willing to go to any lengths to avenge her sister, Crane. She later shows remorse for those actions, and finds the guilt unbearable.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

Clay meeting his siblings

Sora encountered Clay and Glory just as they were leaving the Mud Kingdom. She, along with the rest of her siblings, stopped them as they were about to leave, and was overjoyed at seeing their true bigwings for the very first time. Sora was the most defensive of Reed's role as the group's bigwings, but also begged Clay to stay. However, Clay made peace with them and decided to go with the Dragonets of Destiny, thinking that if he stayed, it would challenge their loyalty to Reed. Reluctantly, Sora and her siblings allowed Clay go to fulfill the prophecy.

The Dark Secret

In the prologue, Sora said that she believed that Clay will stop the war. She had great faith in him, which worried Reed that Clay would be a better bigwings for them and that Crane, their dead sister, would've survived the IceWing ambush if Clay had been there. She and her siblings then debated on joining the Talons of Peace but they later decided against it.

The Brightest Night

She and her siblings were seen when Sunny and Clay went to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. She was torn to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings, since she felt that one of her siblings might die.

Moon Rising

Sora was placed in the Gold Winglet, where she shared a room and classes with Icicle. The dragonets did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone within the first week of school. After a short time, Sora attempted to kill Icicle with a dragonflame cactus explosion in the history cave. This failed, killing Carnelian and Bigtail and injuring Tamarin. After the cave explosion, Sora became so anxious that she was tranquilized and left to recover in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to kill Icicle with a stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite part of the prey center by scratching at it's base until it was ready to fall when touched. Icicle survived this attempt, realizing that it was Sora who was trying to kill her and setting out for revenge. Sora was found in the infirmary, apologizing to Tamarin, by Moonwatcher, Qibli and Umber. Sora explained that Icicle was the IceWing who killed her sister, Crane. She agrees to run away with Umber, who swears to keep her safe, and thinks that he will keep everyone else safe from her, as well. As she leaves, she tells Moonwatcher that Icicle talked about killing in her sleep, and that this was what made her sure that Icicle killed Crane.
