Prudence
- "Of course I knew. Why do you think I brought you in the first place? You're the only NightWing in the tribe who would do something this idiotic, and I had a feeling you'd catch the prince's eye. But I didn't think he was as big an idiot as you are. I thought he had some loyalty to his tribe. Some sense of right and wrong. Young dragons are so useless. All I can say is you'd better have dragonets fast, Foeslayer. As many as possible, so our tribe can inherit animus magic and make this whole disaster worthwhile."
- — Prudence to Foeslayer about Arctic, Runaway
Prudence was an adult female NightWing who was introduced in Runaway. She was the mother of Foeslayer, the mother-in-law of Arctic, and the grandmother of Whiteout and Darkstalker. She was sent to the Ice Kingdom with her daughter, Starclaws, and Discretion on a diplomatic mission to negotiate an alliance. Before this diplomatic mission, she was one of Queen Vigilance's closest advisors.
Description
Prudence had black scales.[1]
Personality
Prudence seemed to be very cunning and scheming, masterminding the plan of letting her daughter marry the prince of the IceWings to get her tribe animus magic. Prudence showed little regard for Foeslayer as she insulted and tried to control her. Foeslayer noted that she would act outraged if one did not want something she was offering, and as soon as they did want it, she would say that they could not have it.[2]
Biography
Legends
Foeslayer mentioned Prudence when talking to Prince Arctic, saying that Prudence told her what to do all the time. She was also mentioned, not by name, when Darkstalker revealed his animus power. Foeslayer said that her mother would be pleased.
Winglets
Prudence was one of the four dragons, including her daughter, who went on the diplomatic trip to the Ice Kingdom.
Prudence attempted to take off Foeslayer's animus-enchanted diamond earring, but Arctic quickly made up an excuse, telling her that it was a diplomatic gift that would be rude to decline.
She was talking about how annoying Foeslayer's pacing was, when she was "frozen" by Prince Arctic with his enchanted dagger and then unfrozen. She agreed to escape with him and Foeslayer from the IceWings along with Starclaws and Discretion after being threatened by Arctic.

Quotes
- "Foeslayer, you are driving me mad. Either sit in a corner and read or help me pack. If I hear your claws squeaking back and forth on the ice one more time, I'll remove them and give them to the library as quills."
