Winter Prince

introduction: Winter is a male IceWing dragonet prince and the main protagonist of “Winter Turning”. He is currently a student at the Jade Mountain Academy as a member of Jade Winglet, was a member of the First Circle and had romantic feelings for Moonwatcher (another female dragon).

physically: Winter is shiny, silvery and immaculate, with smooth, intact, shimmering, pale blue scales the color of a frozen lake. Its scales have also been described as appearing silvery, icy blue, and snow-white, like overlapping fragments of ice that become darker along its spine and the edges of its wings. It has dark or pale eyes that are as blue as the arctic oceans, silver-blue wings, and razor-sharp silver claws. He wears a small wolf-skin pouch tied around one of his ankles that contains a small heavenly firestone. It is smaller in size than Pyrite, but wider than Qibli. He's handsome and handsome, with a touching and tragic face and a raspy voice. It has a pale moon-like shape, pointed elbows, and shimmering silver scales. Moonwatcher describes him as terribly handsome, with horns like deadly icicles and sharp spikes at the end of his whip-thin tail.

Winter personality: cold, distant, determined, courageous, dignified, fierce, curious, sarcastic, arrogant, stubborn, tortured, heroic, irritable, sharp-minded, haughty, tough, and grumpy. Almost everything he says sounds sarcastic, but sometimes he's quite sincere, and he becomes open-minded and reasonable later in his development; he would like to learn more about what other tribes can do, despite not being a very good listener. He speaks with commanding authority, and sometimes jokes uncomfortably. He believes in the monarchy system and has a melancholic and aristocratic character. When upset, he often acts explosively angry, moralistic, and tough before putting on a cold mask that hides all his emotions. He hates himself more than anyone else.

Moonwatcher once described Winter's mind as very confused and twisted. She mentioned that Winter is a better dragon than most; he's not the type of dragon that betrays someone's trust, and can think about what's best for Pyrrhia instead of just a tribe. She thinks that he is honorable and courageous, one of the truest and best dragons in Pyrrhia, but everything inside him is confusion, mirrors and pain. He's not the type of dragon that kills someone, and he likes to know where he fits in the world. Even though many of Winter's actions and decisions throughout his time at the Jade Mountain Academy were strictly against the laws of IceWing, Hailstorm described his brother as courageous and honorable, as he behaved with courage and intelligence in his quest to rescue the lost IceWing warrior. He is serious, intelligent, and noble. Kinkajou noticed that Winter was quite different from what they expected from the royal family.

Even after seeing what Pirita's enchantment did to Hailstorm, Winter was sure he would still be himself underneath. He doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. Upon discovering that Turtle had kept his animus magic to himself during the SandWing War of Succession, he was surprised why he didn't serve his queen with her.

The Jade Mountain Academy is an intertribal school located inside the Jade Mountain, founded by the dragons of fate after the SandWing War of Succession ended. The school opened and accepted students from all tribes six months after the end of the war, dividing them into five winglets: the Jade Winglet, the Gold Winglet, the Silver Winglet, the Copper Winglet and the Quartz Winglet, each of which includes a dragonet from each of the seven dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. Groups of two or three dragonets from the same winglet share a cave to sleep, making them claw companions. Tsunami is the current principal of the school

Great living room The Great Hall is the unofficial entrance to the Jade Mountain Academy. The cave has a dimmer light compared to the one outside, with enough space for four hundred dragons to enter comfortably and still have enough space for them to fly higher

Art cave: The art cave is the room where students learn all kinds of art forms, including painting, ceramics, glasswork, metalwork, weaving and carpentry

Cave of History The Cave of History was where Webs taught history to academy students. It was described as being covered with maps, each marked with a different year, and with stacks of scrolls that overflowed the provided wooden shelves.

Library The entrance to the Library begins as a side corridor lined with hanging scrolls. Many of them have quotes such as “Knowledge is a flame in the dark” and “The claws of war are no match for the wings of wisdom”. At the end of the corridor, there is a room filled with iridescent green sunlight. The light is the result of the sun shining through large translucent, semitransparent leaves placed above the windows, with one of those windows broken by Icicle that escaped in Moon Rising. The scrolls are arranged all over the cave, in cubicles on the walls, on shelves and in cylinders.

Underground lakes There are several underground lakes in Jade Mountain. The largest underground lake that Turtle led Moonwatcher to is deep in the mountain, and starting with Escaping Peril, SeaWing students have made the space their exclusive club house and are there quite often. It is located in the middle of a huge stalactite-studded cavern, with rugged rocks covered with fluffy, bluish moss, and a hole large enough for dragons to fly through it at the top. The moons are visible through the hole, which projects a silvery-green light across the cavern

Sunny's office Sunny's office is partly a sleeping cave, partly an office, with lots of blankets neatly tied in a back corner. Three low tables arranged in a semicircle occupy most of the room, scattered with paper, ink, small blackboards for advertisements and maps.

Bonus facts: When she was two years old, Winter's rank was lower than that of any other member of her family. Winter hates rain and being in the rainforest. When he was younger, Winter used to fantasize about attacking the NightWings at the head of an IceWing battalion. Before each meal, Tundra had Winter practice her guard posture until approval. When he was one year old, Winter took a classification test in which he had to survive only in a snowstorm. Winter has an excellent memory for faces and believes that she has met every member of her tribe at least once. Winter always dreamed that if it were an animus dragon, it would give the gift of observation: a scavenger's den in the Ice Kingdom built so that scavengers could live without freezing. Winter had a history tutor when she was younger.

relationships: Tundra is Winter's mother. After Winter fell into the Fifth Circle due to a failed hunt for polar bears, Tundra made him memorize long sagas for months about dragons that had tried the Diamond Test, including about one hundred verses that speculated about how horribly they might have died. Tundra made it clear that none of his little dragons would reach their seventh day of hatching below the Second Circle, even if that meant risking their lives for the Diamond Test. Winter speculated that his mother sees him as nothing more than a piece of gray ice. For a month after the report of Hailstorm's death, Tundra didn't talk to Winter. He felt euphoria and pride when Tundra thanked Winter for rescuing Hailstorm, but then added that it was the least Winter could do. After realizing that Tundra intended for him to die during the Diamond Judgment, he felt wounded in a deep place where he had thought that his family could no longer hurt him. Winter suspected that Tundra would have wanted Winter to complete a necessary task in any way possible, even if it was immoral. She is sharp and demanding of Winter, and after her husband, Narwhal died, she didn't want to see him anymore

Qibli is one of Winter's closest friends. Winter was upset to discover that she agreed with Qibli on something, and often pretends to hate Qibli, but Qibli likes the fact that Winter tries to save anyone, and thinks Winter is honorable. Winter saved his life from a burning scavenger's spear, and Qibli was sincere and genuine in his gratitude. Qibli is also sometimes affectionately exasperated with him, and once joked that he was almost certain that he would rather have Winter around than Pyrite. When Winter was in the Ice Realm, imagining what Qibli would say in response to Tundra made him laugh for the first time since returning home. After realizing that Narwhal and Tundra intended for Winter to die during the Diamond Trial, he thought that Qibli would not do such a thing to him. Winter is often irritated by Qibli's observant tendencies, and hates having to admit when the other person is right. He knows Qibli well enough to see when he's deliberately trying to upset someone, having been in the same position many times. Qibli trusts Winter. (Qibli is a male dragon from the Sand Wings tribe in winter, Qibli and Moonwatcher are in a love triangle)

Moonwatcher is one of Winter's closest friends, and Winter was in love with her. Moonwatcher once stated that she would never be an enemy of Winter, no matter what she said, and when she thought Winter might be dying, she grabbed her front claws with her own and began to cry so hard she couldn't speak. She wanted Winter to accompany her to solve the Jade Mountain Prophecy, and her face crumbled in disappointment when he refused. Since Winter started using heavenly fire, it's much easier for Moonwatcher to talk to him. Winter sometimes jokes with Moonwatcher, but she feels a twisted feeling in her chest when she thinks of her, and hearing her say her name was described as a spell that runs heat through her bones. Winter had never met anyone who seemed as interested in scavengers as he was until he met Moonwatcher, and he hopes to never hurt her. She's determined to support Winter whether he wants her help or not, and Winter has had quiet thoughts about how Moonwatcher is different from the other NightWings, and perhaps different from most of the dragons in Pyrrhia.

Dragon: all dragons are quadrupeds and do not wear clothes, each dragon has a different anatomy there are 7 types of dragon known as “tribes”

NightWings are based on monitor lizards. They have been described as having deep black bifurcated tongues, as well as dark scales that are usually black or in shades of dark green, blue, purple or opaque gray. NightWings can blend in the shadows and blend into the night sky due to their colors and wing patterns.

The IceWings, The head of an IceWing is diamond-shaped and very narrow, with a necklace of additional horns behind the head, with spikes that continue down the back and tail. They are slender dragons with thin, whip-like tails that have icicle-shaped spines, ending in very sharp points. They have serrated claws for gripping ice.

The RainWings are based on chameleons. They are long and elegant, with ruffles behind their ears, curved horns and prehensile tails that they use mainly to climb, swing on trees and hang on the branches of the rainforest in which they live, like birds of paradise. When afraid, insulted, or angry, RainWings wave their gorges as a sign of aggression or hostility, perhaps to appear bigger

SandWings are based in part on scorpions. They have pale yellow, pale gold, white gold, or light yellowish brown scales that blend with desert sand. They have obsidian-black eyes, a spike on the top of their nose and under the ear, and a black forked tongue. They have short, curved horns and a candle or crest that runs from the top of the snout to about three-quarters of the tail, which has a scorpion-like stinger at the end. The tail spike is usually dark in color.

mudwings, skywings and seawings they also live on the continent but are less popular (and I don't want to write about them)
