Comet (Worlds Apart)

Comet is a female NightWing-IceWing hybrid dragonet currently attending Jade Mountain Academy. She is the daughter of Moonwatcher and Prince Winter. Her parents are no longer together and she now lives with her mother, her stepfather, Qibli and her half-brother Mirage. She does not have any NightWing powers, unlike her mother, who is the Foresight and Mindreading Instructor at Jade Mountain. Although technically being a princess through her father, she has no plans to join the IceWing Royal Family or try for the throne. She is one of the main POVs for the work-in-progress Wings of Fire: Worlds Apart fanfiction series.
== Appearance ==
Comet can easily pass for a full-blooded NightWing, due to her have few obvious IceWing traits. However, her coloration is somewhat influenced by Winter's genes. She has bluish-black scales, similar to Whiteout, with dark blue-grey accents on her limbs, the fingers of her wings, neck, spine and tail. She has a bluish-white underscales, that appears as though they are made of pure ice, with her horns, spikes and facial accents being the same color. She has black wings with bright bluish-white scales scattered along the undersides. The only definite IceWing traits she has are her pale blue tongue and her brilliant, cobalt blue eyes, which are seemingly identical to that of her father.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-Series ===
Comet's story begins with her parents. After the defeat of Darkstalker and the quelling of the Othermind and Queen Wasp, Moonwatcher settled down with her original partner Qibli. However, they slowly grew distant leading to an argument and their eventual breakup. Moonwatcher eventually ran in Winter, the IceWing prince she went to Jade Mountain Academy with, and they reconnected in Sanctuary. Eventually Moon became with egg, much to the dismay of Winter. However, he loved Moon and wanted their relationship to work, so he decided to try and raise their dragonet with her. Over the next few months, Winter began to suffer mentally from the trauma inflicted by experiencing the re-emergence of Darkstalker and the associated deaths of his fellow IceWings and family. When his dragonet, later named Comet by her mother, finally hatched, her almost pure-NightWing appearance unsettled the prince greatly, as Darkstalker, like Comet, had looked pure NightWing despite being half IceWing. This caused him to distance himself from his partner and daughter, the latter much more intensely, as Comet reminded him too much of Darkstalker and the horrible things he experienced. In the end, he abandoned both Moonwatcher and Comet, who was 2 at the time, by leaving one night without any notice, and has not been seen since.
Distraught by Winter's disappearance, Moonwatcher returned to the NightWing Village, with her daughter in tow, where she briefly lived with her mother, Secretkeeper. When Jade Mountain Academy announced another academic year, her mother applied to be a teacher, as she felt that the newest generation of NightWings, which had regained their powers of foresight and mindreading, needed guidance so they wouldn't be lost like she had been. Upon Moon becoming the Foresight and Mindreading Instructor, Comet was admitted to the school as a student. During an alumni gathering, Moonwatcher bumped into Qibli, who had been working as an advisor to Queen Thorn and hadn't been back to the Academy in a while and didn't expect to see Moon again. The two caught up and reconnected, leading to them eventually getting back together. They eventually had Comet's younger half-brother Mirage, who looked much more like a hybrid than her. Comet has been much happier these days with Qibli as her father figure, since he actually cares for her and does not resent her like Winter did. Comet will go on her own adventures in Wings of Fire: Worlds Apart as one of the main POVs.
== Relationships ==
=== Mirage ===
Mirage is Comet's younger half-brother, through her mother, Moonwatcher. While Comet is more calm and quiet, Mirage tends to be more boisterous and mischievous. Her half-brother's antics do occasionally annoy her, leading to some friction. However, she loves him, and wouldn't want him any other way. She isn't afraid to stand up for him, especially when he is made fun of for being an obvious hybrid. Mirage knows how to make Comet smile and they are happy to have one another in their lives.
=== Moonwatcher ===
Comet deeply loves her mother and the two share many interests and personality traits. She often tries to be "the best version of herself" around her mom, since she knows her mother can read minds and doesn't want to seem like an ungrateful or naughty child. Comet is happy whenever Moonwatcher is happy, as she knows happiness was hard to come by in the past and does whatever she can to be supportive. Moonwatcher often worries for her oldest dragonet, especially after they were abandoned by Comet's biological father, Prince Winter. She also worries whether her daughter will be accepted by others, due to her being half-IceWing, especially with the history between NightWings and IceWings. She loves Comet and would do anything for her.
=== Qibli ===
When Moonwatcher and Qibli reunited and became a couple again, Comet was a bit skeptical about having a father-figure in her life. Her biological father had abandon her and her mother when Comet was 2. For all she knew, Qibli might do the same! Thankfully, overtime, Qibli proved to be a trustworthy dragon to Comet, and a good, supportive parent to her as well. She considers Qibli, despite not being related, to be her "real father", since her chose to care for her like his own. She is now grateful to have him in her life and isn't afraid to speak with him about her worries or concerns. Qibli, similarly, considers Comet to be his "real daughter" and loves her deeply, despite what others may so for believing so.
=== Winter ===
Despite being her biological father, Winter had negative feeling towards Comet from the moment she hatched. Comet hatched looking like a full-blooded NightWing with few physical IceWing traits, despite being a hybrid. These circumstances were similar to Darkstalker, the ancient animus who had wreaked terror on Winter's tribe during his re-emergence and even enchanted Winter himself during that time, leaving him with intense psychological trauma. Still undergoing mental suffering from this incident, Comet only served to be a reminder of the horrible things he experienced and so he usually tried to avoid contact with his daughter. Despite this, Comet tried to win Winter's affection while he was in her life and tried to show him she wasn't a monster. She was saddened by his departure, despite his neglect.
