Tsunami
Template:InfoboxTsunami is a Seawing and a dragonet of the Prophecy.
Biography
Tsunami was brought to the Talons of Peace by a Seawing named Webs, who stole her egg from the Royal Hatchery. She grew up with resentment and anger towards the guardians about keeping them locked up away from the world. She constantly interrupted the fights between Clay and Kestrel, ones that usually ended up harming Clay badly.
Eventually, she was granted her wish when escape became a necessity after Morrowseer declared that Glory must be exterminated because she was an unsuitable replacement for the murdered Skywing. After thwarting an attempt to kill Glory, she was chained to the wall to ensure the murder would go on smoothly without her interfering. After Clay managed to escape down the underground river, she escaped with the help of Sunny and Starflight, and saved Clay from having his scales dissolved. The chains dislocated her wing joint, almost killing her after they came over a waterfall out of the mountain. After Clay fixed it, they encountered Queen Scarlet, whom they escaped by impaling her tail to the ground. This later resulted in their capture and imprisonment.
During their confinment, she proved to be very tempermental and would lash out at any outsider. Due to this, she was extra chained and isolated. After Clay denoucing her as just another Seawing, he was forced to fight Fjord. In a futile distraction, she flung herself off her ledge, nearing choking to death and nearly dragging all the other nearby prisoners down with her.
However, it gave Glory enough time to kill Fjord. She was taken away after songs about the prophecy, and was cowed even by Burn. She was the most distrustive of Peril, prefering to stay far away. She later was forced to fight a mad Seawing, scavangers, and nearly Icewings, only to be interrupted by Morrowseer saving Starflight.
She and the rest managed to escape with the aid of Peril, and they decided to go and search for their parents. After realizing Clay had hurt Glory, she planned a trick to make him think she left for good. After Glory and Clay returned from looking for his parents, they proceeded to the Sea Kindom to meet Tsumani's mother, Queen Coral.
Personality
Tsunami was fiercely independent, and a fighter. She was not afraid to voice her opinion, even to the ferocious Kestrel. She also resented the fact that they were held captive by the Talons of Peace, and then by Queen Scarlet; she valued her freedom and independence highly.
However, she was also fiercely devoted to her friends and would not do anything to hurt them; she refused to hurt Starflight when Queen Scarlet pitted them against each other. She was also fiercely protective; she managed to distract an Icewing from killing Clay in a battle by throwing herself off the pinnacle she was chained to, an almost suicidal move with wing clips on.
In The Lost Heir she begins to be nicer later in the book and her friends are all suprised by this change in her.
She may also have feelings for Clay, though it is more likely she has feelings for a SeaWing named Riptide whom she met in the Seawing Kingdom. Although she was jealous because of Peril's feelings towards Clay.
Quotes
"Well, you're a handsome idiot." -Tsunami, at their attemped escape before Peril betrayed them.
Relationships
Tsunami is Clay's somewhat best friend. She found and cured him when Clay got drenched in the white stuff and his scales were burning with pain, while he tried to find an escape route for the dragonets. She calls Clay a handsome idiot and gives him a hint that Peril likes him (although it goes right over his head). Later, Tsunami stabbed Queen Scarlet's tail to help her and Clay fly away from the Skywing. Throughout the book, Tsunami shows signs of maybe liking Clay, because she was jealous of Peril and Glory. In the second book, she is said to have a crush on both him and Starflight since there were no other male dragonets her age and her tribe.
In The Lost Heir, Tsunami thought about how she had a fleeting crush on Starflight and Clay, before she realized how Starflight was a know-it-all. It is also said that later in the book Tsunami wants to try to be like Starflight: calm and not instinctful, and Starflight admits he was trying to be like Tsunami, brave and commanding.
Tsunami refused to hurt Starflight in the arena when Queen Scarlet wanted them to fight. She gives him somewhat of a hug, and the dragons in the audience "awww".
Tsunami was wary and jealous of Peril, because of her and Clay's friendship. When Peril tries to burn her chains, Tsunami is hesitant and at first tells her to get away. When the Dragonets are leaving the Sky Kingdom, Tsunami tells Clay and Peril to speed up the touching good-bye.
Tsunami was not very afraid of Kestrel in training. She seems to be the one that dislikes Kestrel the most. She doesn't want to go back and save Kestrel, but does anyway because of Clay. Tsunami still shows dislike towards her mentor when they are leaving the Sky Kingdom, taking a threatening step towards her before Kestrel flies away.
Queen Coral is Tsunami's mother, and is very overprotective of Tsunami and her other daughters. While Tsunami mostly adores her mother, sometimes she has her scary sides.
Gill is Tsunami's father, killed in the Skywing arena by his own daughter although Tsunami never knew he was her father until Queen Coral told her.
Riptide was the first Seawing Tsunami met when she went into the ocean. She thought of him as handsome and even thought of marrying him instead of Whirlpool. He taught her some Aquatic at one point, and saved her when she was being attacked by an unknown Seawing. He later admits that he has been working with the Talons of Peace, Tsunami is upset that Riptide lied to her.
Tsunami was supposed to marry Whirlpool, but she did not want to. Whirlpool was also her teacher, but he didn't do a good job.
Anemone is Tsunami's younger sister. At first, Tsunami thought she was jealous of her, but it turned out she wasn't, just because she didn't want to marry Whirlpool. The two sisters get along very well.
Tsunami didn't like Shark, even though he was her uncle. She hated how he was emotionless, and told Queen Coral about how he planned to kill the Dragonets.
