Tsunami
- "I know you don't trust MudWings. I know you obey Shark in everything. But we're talking about the end of the war. You thought nothing you ever did could bring peace or save the dragons you care about, but right now you can make all the difference. Just give me the key."
- — Tsunami to Snail, Herring, Kelp and Flounder in The Lost Heir.
Princess Tsunami is a young female SeaWing and the main protagonist of The Lost Heir. She is the eldest living heir to the SeaWing throne and one of Queen Coral's three living daughters. She helped found the Jade Mountain Academy with the other Dragonets of Destiny and is currently the headmaster. Tui has recently confirmed that she is in a long-distance relationship with Riptide. She does not acknowledge her role as a princess much and instead focuses on being a principal instead.
Appearance
Tsunami has sapphire-blue scales and emerald-green underscales[1]. She has azure-blue wings[2] and translucent green eyes[3] and has a sleek built[4]. She wears several strands of pearls that her mother gave her[5]. The luminescent stripes on her wing's membranes form spirals around the outer edges. Starbursts shaped like webbed dragon footprints branch away from the lines in the middle, identifying her as a member of the SeaWing royal family.
Biography
The Yeetonet Prophcy
Personality
Tsunami is fierce, brave, and loyal. Bossy and stubborn, she often believes that her way is best, although she has high moral standards and good intentions. Tsunami sometimes behaves rashly and without thought, often jumping to conclusions, especially in tense or demanding situations, where she tends to start a fight. She is very independent and values freedom highly, and is fiercely protective and devoted towards her friends. She also tends to argue a lot, and she can be sarcastic and rude.
Relationships
He is the young MudWing Dragonet of Destiny. Tsunami thinks of him as a brother and a very close friend. They are usually around each other. Clay attempted to break Tsunami and the other dragonets' eggs upon hatching to help them out of their shells. Tsunami describes Clay and Sunny as being "the most trustworthy members of the group." She mentions once having a crush on him, saying that she always imagined she would mate him because she had never met any other dragons, though it ended when she found out that he only saw her and the other dragonets as brothers and sisters.
He is often shushed up by Tsunami because of his constant lecturing. In The Lost Heir, Tsunami is often annoyed when he tries to take command of the group. Tsunami and Starflight have known each other since they hatched, same as the other dragonets of destiny. In The Lost Heir, Tsunami states that she had a crush on Starflight before she found out he was a know-it-all and could be very annoying. She still appears to love him as a brother or a friend, as shown when she refused to kill him in the SkyWing arena.
Tsunami is shown to be constantly annoyed by Glory's mood and sarcasm. She describes Glory as the "least trustworthy". She calls her venom "magical death spit" (started by Sunny), much to Glory's annoyance. They often argue and Glory seems to always snap at her behaviors of "leap before you look". However, she and Glory have known each other since hatching, and are friends, often aiding each other. This showed when Glory helps Tsunami formulate an escape plan, and also when Tsunami tricks Clay and Sunny into thinking that Glory left the brigade to go by herself.
Tsunami seems to think of Sunny as a little sister, being the last to hatch. She is concerned for the well-being of Sunny but, though she sometimes doesn't realize it, underestimates her a lot. Like the other dragonets, Tsunami has known Sunny since they hatched. Tsunami considers Sunny and Clay "the most trustworthy members of the group."
Tsunami was very wary and mistrusting of Peril because she killed so many dragons in such a horrible way. 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 has also been shown to consider Peril a psycho. In The Brightest Night, when Peril saves Clay by burning out the poison, Tsunami is speechless yet grateful. However, when Clay suggests they invite Peril to their school, Tsunami gets worried. In Moon Rising, Tsunami suspected Peril of setting off the bomb that killed Carnelian and Bigtail before Sunny pointed out that was impossible.
Tsunami was not very afraid of Kestrel in training, shown when Kestrel is beating Clay up, Tsunami bit Kestrel on the tail and told her to "Stop picking on Clay." She seems to be the one that dislikes Kestrel the most, second only to Glory. She doesn't want to go back and save Kestrel, but does anyway because of Clay's insistence. 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 the overprotective mother of Tsunami, Anemone, Auklet, and Orca. While Tsunami mostly adores her mother, she often questions her ways of ruling and judgement, and is sometimes even frightened by it. Tsunami believes that some of the queen's ways are scary and harsh.
Gill is Tsunami's father, killed in the SkyWing arena by his own daughter. Tsunami snapped his neck in half, not knowing that he was her father, until Queen Coral told her. However, Gill's death was also indirectly caused by Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings, who took away his water for months dehydrating him and causing him to go insane. When she found out that they were related, she was overcome with guilt. In The Dark Secret, Tsunami is shown to dream about him.
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 (who was later revealed to be Whirlpool. He later admits that he has been working with the Talons of Peace. Tsunami was upset that Riptide lied to her, but Tsunami was slowly falling for Riptide. At the end of The Lost Heir, Riptide headed to help his fellow SeaWings fight. He reappears for a short time in The Brightest Night, when Tsunami mentions that she wants to be mad at him, but couldn't because she was really happy to see him. In Winter Turning, Riptide asks Moon, "You must know Tsunami. How is she? Did she send you? Was there a message for me?" To which Moon replied, "She thinks about you all the time," and "She wants to hear from you." But Riptide feels that it would be better to wait for Tsunami to contact him instead. However, Tui recently confirmed that the two are dating, and that they love each other very much.
Whirlpool attempts to teach Tsunami Aquatic, but proves to be a terrible teacher. Queen Coral wishes for Whirlpool to be King of the SeaWings when Tsunami or Anemone is Queen. Tsunami hates Whirlpool, preferring Riptide over him. Whirlpool also tried to kill Tsunami because he did not want to marry her. This is proven when Anemone enchants a spear to find Tsunami's attacker using her animus powers that he "taught" her.
At first, Tsunami is disappointed that she has a sister, and thus, another heir to compete with. Later, though, Tsunami bonds with Anemone and they trust each other like friends. This is shown when Anemone aids the dragonets in their escape. Tsunami deeply worries about Anemone and hopes she doesn't lose her soul like other animus dragonets, and promises to end the war before her younger sister is forced to use her powers.
Shark is Tsunami's uncle, but she hates him. Tsunami believed he is responsible for the death of the heirs, such as when he gave Tortoise a break from guarding the eggs, but it is soon shown that her opinion is not true when she finds out that Orca's enchanted statue is the assassin. Shark is shown to not trust the dragonets of destiny, wanting to kill them. This enrages Tsunami, leading her to hate him even more.
Not much known about how Tsunami and Auklet get along but it is clear that they have the same snout (as stated by Clay) and that Tsunami was the one who saved Auklet from the Orca Statue and named her. This makes Tsunami very pleased. Tsunami thinks of Auklet as very dignified. When Coral dropped Anemone and Turtle at Jade Mountain Academy, it is shown that Auklet wants to attend as well, but is told she is not old enough.
Turtle is one of Tsunami's many, many brothers, one out of 32. Tsunami is surprised about this at first, but quickly grows to love her brother, saying that he is "probably the best of them." When ever she sees him, she seems to either be relieved, or happy. The two of them swim to Pantala together in The Hive Queen.
Tsunami seems to slightly distrust Deathbringer, possibly because of the fact that he once threw a sharp disk through her wing. Despite this she seems to have some respect for him even though she is not particularly fond of him, she even once threatened to "knock him off the Mountain" and she rolled her eyes when she saw the look he gave Glory, possibly indicating that she doesn't approve of their relationship. However, Deathbringer helped the Dragonets of Destiny build Jade Mountain Academy. Also Deathbringer constantly calls the dragonets his friends, although Glory, Sunny, and possibly Clay, are the only Dragonets that think of him as a friend. Tsunami and Starflight don't seem to have much of an opinion.
Tsunami and Turtle are saved by Willow from a large snake in the epilogue of The Hive Queen. Willow introduces herself and tells the two that if they want to live, they should go back to where they came from.
