Thoughtful
- "You noticed? No one... you really saw the pieces of scroll inside the waves? I can't believe you saw them! Nobody's ever understood one of my pieces before."
- — Thoughtful to Whiteout, Darkstalker
Thoughtful was a young male NightWing who was introduced in Darkstalker. He was in a relationship with Whiteout and attended the NightWing School before fleeing from the lost city of night.
Appearance
Thoughtful wore spectacles in the form of silver wires wound around his horns and down his forehead, suspending a circle of glass in front of each of his eyes.[1]
Personality
Clearsight described Thoughtful to have a kind and worried aura. He had artistic talent, most notably in glasswork. He also has a deep voice.
Biography
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
When Darkstalker awakened, he arrived at the Jade Mountain library, where he asked Starflight for scrolls about what happened to his family. He briefly mentioned his sister, comparing her to Sunny, and the dragon she fell in love with. It can be assumed that this "glassblowing dragon with the spectacles" is Thoughtful.
Legends
While Darkstalker, Fathom, and Whiteout were playing Scales-and-squares at a festival, Thoughtful asked if anyone would like to do a scroll-stacking challenge with him. Listener, who was nearby, started to go with him. However, Clearsight then foresaw two futures: one, in which Thoughtful married Listener and they had a decently complacent life where Listener loved Thoughtful more than he loved her; and two, a future between Thoughtful and Whiteout that contained great pain, but also a wonderful love. Clearsight impulsively introduced Thoughtful to Whiteout, and Whiteout recognized Thoughtful as the creator of a glasswork piece named Cascade of Dreams. Thoughtful was surprised that Whiteout had understood the meaning of his piece, as no one had been able to decipher it before. Thoughtful and Whiteout then proceeded to play the scroll-stacking challenge together, much to the dismay of Listener.
A short time later, after Quickdeath failed to assassinate Darkstalker and was killed by Lionfish in defense, Thoughtful was the one who identified Quickdeath's body. He guarded the body with Whiteout while Darkstalker, Clearsight, and Fathom left to find out who had hired Quickdeath. Later on, when Darkstalker asked Whiteout about her "new admirer," she said that she liked Thoughtful and that he had given her a glass-blown shell necklace during the festival.
Thoughtful also appeared after Arctic's gruesome death, pushing through the crowd to comfort Whiteout. Thoughtful and Whiteout most likely left the Night Kingdom together and eventually got married to one another.
Relationships
Initially, Thoughtful was introduced to Whiteout through Listener at a festival. After Clearsight foresaw that Thoughtful and Whiteout's relationship would contain a lot of pain but also vast amounts of love, they discussed Thoughtful's glasswork and then played a scroll-stacking game together. He was one of the only dragons who completely understood Whiteout's manner of speech, and she similarly was one of the rare dragons who understood Thoughtful's glasswork pieces.

Trivia
- Since Darkstalker did not have any dragonets, all NightWing animus dragons are descended from Whiteout and Thoughtful. This means that he is an ancestor of Stonemover and Sunny.
