Ember (HTTYWOF)

Ember is an adult female SkyWing and a supporting character in How to Train Your Wings of Fire, a How to Train Your Dragon and Wings of Fire crossover written by HTTYDPokemonFan under the username ReptileGirl497 on Fanfiction.net. She is an interpretation of The Runty SkyWing, and, by technicality, a Dragonet of Destiny.
== Appearance ==
Ember has fire-orange scales and pink wings that have been described to look like a warm sunrise. She has a pale orange underbelly and orange-pink eyes. She wears a diamond necklace that was a gift from Subzero.
She is very small, about the size of a three or four-year-old dragonet. According to King Windracer, if Ember stood on her hind legs she'd still be less than half of Kestrel's height.
== Personality ==
Ember is nice, modest, quiet, empathetic, gentle, and willing to give other dragons the benefit of the doubt. She disapproves of violence and tries to solve problems in a peaceful way, if possible.
However, she has low self-esteem; she's afraid of making mistakes and letting other dragons down. She often struggles to speak up for herself and for others, and wants to be special. She is shown to panic whenever a situation turns dire, though she demonstrates courage and selflessness such that she takes a bite from a dragonbite viper that was targeting Windracer.
Since the end of the War of SandWing Succession, and the creation of the Jade Mountain Academy, Ember has become more confident in herself and assertive toward other dragons.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-Series ===
The SkyWing soldiers Topaz and Saker were paired together in the breeding program to supply Queen Scarlet's army with more dragons. Not long after Topaz brought forth their egg, Saker was killed in a gruesome battle.
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire: Winglets ===
On the brightest night, after Queen Scarlet demanded the destruction of all the SkyWing eggs that were due to hatch then, Topaz fled the Sky Kingdom with the egg containing her daughter, heading south until she made it to the banks of the Mud Kingdom. The egg hatched there that night, and Topaz named her newly-hatched dragonet Ember.
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire ===
After Hvitur's failed attempt to steal the prophesied SkyWing egg, Queen Scarlet ordered her guards to bring in all the eggs that were due to hatch on the brightest night, so that she could destroy them. When she said that one was missing, one of the guards reassured her that it would not get far, and "it was a runty one anyhow."
Ember was first seen on the edge of the Sky Kingdom for a few seconds by Windracer when he was knocked out of the sky by Morrowseer's NightWings. Ember then quickly left with a surprised expression, leaving Windracer to believe he imagined her.
Later, Ember was among the dragons that had gathered in Possibility to witness Windracer's recovery from Mayfly's medical treatment. She volunteered herself to accompany the Dragonets of Destiny to the rainforest as part of an escort. She and Windracer both recognized each other upon meeting.
During the group's trek through the rainforest, Ember revealed to the others that her mother was dead and that she'd hatched on the brightest night. Windracer suggested that Ember could be a Dragonet of Destiny on the technicality that her egg was the largest full-blooded SkyWing egg that hatched on the brightest night because Queen Scarlet had destroyed the rest.
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire 2 ===
Ember became a helper at Jade Mountain Academy and the substitute teacher for King Windracer's Group Discussion class. She defended Windracer against Winter when it was revealed that he had royal IceWing blood in his veins from being a descendant of Whiteout - Darkstalker's sister. Later, she appeared with Subzero, Qibli, Kinkajou, Turtle and Moonwatcher and alongside Winter witnessing Icicle trying to kill Windracer and Arid after failing to do so the first time in the bombing of the History Cave the other day. Icicle revealed she was working for Malicious in order to claim Darkstalker's scroll, but Subzero and Winter fought against her and she later escaped. Ember furiously hugged Windracer, close to sobbing.
Ember joined the Jade Winglet in looking for Icicle to prevent her from killing Queen Arid, finding her inside of the tunnel leading to the Lost city of night where Arid, Qibli, Ocotillo and Diamondback arrested her for attempted murder.
She later fought in the Battle of Jade Mountain and was injured by a NightWing, leading to Subzero freezing them before taking her inside with the help of Auburn.
== Relationships ==
=== Saker ===
Ember's father died before she hatched. Though she never met him, she learned about him from her mother. After hearing how brave and noble Saker was, Ember mourned for the father she never knew.
=== Subzero ===
When they first met, Ember and Subzero had a rocky relationship. Ember was easily off-put by the IceWing's bitterness, and was startled whenever he snapped at her. She believes that he is lucky to have frostscales because, in her eyes, it makes him "special", which is something she admits to not feel about herself. She was grateful to him for letting her spend a night at his place, and took the time to thank him before she left. The two continued to encounter one another and gradually became more friendly toward each other, to the point where Subzero gifted her with a diamond necklace on one of her hatching days, which she graciously wears. Ember once described her relationship with Subzero as "sort-of-but-not-quite friends". She admits that she's in love with him, but is doubtful that he reciprocates.
=== Topaz ===
Ember and Topaz had a very loving relationship. She always felt safe around her mother, and would lean on Topaz for comfort whenever she was scared or upset. Ember was devastated to see Topaz die.
=== King Windracer ===
Ember looks up to Windracer as a brotherly figure. Although she often feels like a burden to him because of her self-esteem issues, she cares about him a lot, so much so that she took a dragonbite viper bite meant for him.
== Quotes ==
"Yes, I was [in the Sky Kingdom during the storm]. [...] I saw you fall out of the sky. You're Windracer, right?" - to Windracer
"Have I mentioned this place makes me nervous?" - about the rainforest
"I wish my mother was here. [...] How can I stay safe in this world when there's so many dangerous things out there?" - to the Dragonets of Destiny
"Thanks. [...] I'll never forget my mother. She was always there when I needed her, ever since I hatched. I remember, once I was out, she was right there, under three full moons, waiting for me." - to Auburn
"That's true. [...] You really think I could be part of your destiny?" - to Windracer, about her egg hatching on the brightest night
"It's a hatching day gift from Subzero. [...] Well, he picked it out for Typhoon to give to me. We've run into each other a lot in Possibility, and we're sort-of-but-not-quite friends, I think." - to Windracer, about her necklace
"He thinks his powers are a curse. He doesn't see how they make him special. I wish I was special. Then we could be special together." - thoughts about Subzero
"You told me you didn't want to leave town until you felt the world could be safe from you. But what if that never happens? What if you feel you have to stay here forever? I don't want to leave if it means I have to say goodbye to you. You shouldn't have to be alone, even if you are used to it. Subzero, when I first met you, I was completely lost. But then, when my mother died, you helped show me the way. And now all I want is to be near you, frostscales or no. Because... [...] ...Because you're my best friend, and friends don't leave friends behind. I wouldn't even be here right now if it wasn't for you. You saved my life, I owe you that much." - to Subzero
