Clay

Clay is an adult male MudWing and the main protagonist of The Dragonet Prophecy. Formerly a dragonet of destiny, he was also partially responsible for ending the War of SandWing Succession, and is one of the five founders of Jade Mountain Academy, where he currently resides. He teaches herbs and healing, helps with battle training, and runs the prey center.

Personality: Clay is thoughtful, accidentally heroic, and sounds kind no matter who he talks to. He is earnest, goofy, loyal, sweet, agreeable, easily confused, curious, and thick-skulled. He almost never complains, except about being hungry, and he takes a great liking to food. He is trustworthy, and every thought he has is written all over his face. Clay is challenged by academics and is sometimes slow to realize things. Despite this, he teaches healing at Jade Mountain Academy and appears to have a good understanding of anatomy. He is responsible, protective, and cares about his students. Clay believes that prophecies are not instructions, but rather that they are hints towards the right direction and that it is a dragon's choice on what to do with those hints.

Tsunami described him as being the heart of the dragonets of destiny and stated that they would not be able to fulfill the prophecy without him. Clay loves his friends so deeply that he is always willing to die for them. Even as a young dragonet, he was willing to take the blame for his friends' mistakes and face Kestrel's punishments for them. Peril described his soul as a torch that never went out, burning clear all night long. Clay often smiles at other dragons.

Description: Clay is muscular, large, burly, and stocky, with a sloping back, a thick, lengthy neck, a large, broad head, and white teeth. He is the largest of the dragonets of destiny, and has a rumbly, deep, warm voice. He also has fire-resistant, mud-colored scales. Clay's scales are a warm brown in the shades of rich mahogany and tree bark, along with undertones of glowing amber, clay, and gold glinting between and beneath his scales.

He has enormous feet and thick brown claws, as well as mud-colored, massive, strong brown wings and wide, warm brown eyes. His right thigh is scarred from a dragonbite viper laceration, and he has a permanent limp.

It has a cock approximately 40 cm long and 15 cm in circumference, very similar to that of an equine.

Relatives: starflight (friend) : As with the other dragonets, Clay considers Starflight a brother. He took the dragonbite viper bite meant for Starflight and shielded him when the volcano of the NightWing Fortress exploded. Although Clay gets bored of Starflight's lectures sometimes, he cares about him a lot, so much that he would risk his life to keep him safe. Starflight sees Clay as his bigwings, as the rest of the dragonets do. All in all, Starflight and Clay have a good relationship.

Estudiantes: Clay cares about the students at Jade Mountain Academy and their safety. He is regarded as a hero among them due to his limp caused by his wound from the dragonbite viper. He is good at defusing arguments between students and is shown to take their suggestions, such as when Tamarin and Peregrine suggested herbs and healing class. He has also claimed that he tries to write as little as possible, due to him not being very good at spelling.

Tsunami (friend): Tsunami is among Clay's closest friends. He considered her brave and tough like a hero should be. She called Clay a "handsome idiot" and gave him a hint that Peril likes him, but he did not understand. Tsunami often interjects when Clay talks about Glory and Sunny in front of Peril because she appeared to understand that Peril gets jealous. In The Lost Heir, she stateed she had feelings for Clay but had gotten over her crush when she realized Clay thought of her as a sister. She was also the second one to hatch, and the first egg Clay tried to help hatch.

Sunny (friend):Sunny is like a little sister to Clay, and he treats her as such. Clay wanted to go save Sunny when she was trapped in a cage in the Sky Kingdom as soon as he learned where she was. When nobody will listen to Sunny, she turns to Clay to tell the others her ideas so they will listen. He seems to be the dragonet she confides in and trust the most. Clay took a poisonous viper bite to save Sunny's life and says he would do it over and over again if he could. He is one of the only dragons to take Sunny seriously, as shown when Clay paid attention to a "weird crab" Sunny found in the underground river

Glory (friend): Glory is one of Clay's closest friends. When Clay thought that Glory had left them for the Rainforest Kingdom, he wanted to go after her over finding his family. He described her as "just as important and smart as any SkyWing" and felt bad about thinking that Glory was asleep when she was displayed as "artwork." Clay was willing to risk his own life saving Glory by braving the underground river himself. When Glory went missing, Clay became worried about her and went with Deathbringer to rescue her from the NightWing island. While Glory was training for the RainWing Royal Challenge, Clay helped calm her down and prompted Glory to take a nap that she needed. In Escaping Peril, he was devastated when he believed she had been killed by Scarlet. Clay will always forgive Glory

Siblings Clay has six siblings: Reed, Marsh, Crane, Pheasant, Sora, and Umber. He met them all but Crane, when Clay and Glory — who was disguised as a MudWing — went to go meet his mother. Crane had died in the sibling's first battle, between Burn's and Blaze's forces, before Clay visited. If his egg was not taken by the Talons of Peace, Clay would have been the troop's bigwings. In Clay's absence, Reed became the bigwings. He asked if Clay wanted to be their bigwings, but Clay turned Reed's offer down, knowing that Reed would do a much better job, having grown up with MudWings and having the complete trust and loyalty of all their siblings. When Starflight used his dreamvisitor, he saw Clay dream about his siblings. Starflight said that Clay's siblings were "more dragons we have to save in this war." Though he had only met them once during the war, he still thought of them often and had wondered out loud about them for the last few weeks. Clay seemed shocked and saddened when Sora set off a dragonflame cactus in the school.

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)
