- — Sunset to Lagoon, Darkstalker
Sunset was an adult female SkyWing princess who was introduced in Darkstalker. She was killed by Albatross during the Royal SeaWing Massacre.
Description
Sunset had shiny, polished red scales the color of hibiscus petals, drops of blood, or giant rubies.[1] She had amber eyes.[2]
Personality
Sunset was wary of animus magic.[3] She seemed to share her tribe's wariness of "dangerous differences". She seemed supremely uninterested by Fathom's introduction of Indigo, and complained about the food being served raw at the Island Palace.[4]
Biography

Sunset was indirectly mentioned as one of the nine dragons who were killed during the Royal SeaWing Massacre.
Legends
Princess Sunset and Eagle were present at the party when the Royal SeaWing Massacre began. She and her partner toured the party and asked many questions of the SeaWings' culture. They were negotiating with Queen Lagoon and warning her the dangers of animus magic when Albatross arrived. After he killed the queen, Eagle and Sunset were attacked and Sunset was impaled in the neck by Albatross's enchanted knife. Her death spurred a treaty between the SkyWings and the SeaWings, which had involved gem payments for the next five years and land rights, as well as the SkyWings keeping the massacre a secret.
