Heron (HTTYWOF)

Heron is an adult female MudWing 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 was a False Dragonet of Destiny meant to replace Bog, and is currently attending Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Gold Winglet.
== Appearance ==
Heron has light brown scales and butter-yellow eyes. Her wings and underbelly are a warm beige, and her horns and spines are mahogany-brown.
== Personality ==
Heron is shy, awkward, and apprehensive, but was more bold and social prior to learning about the untimely deaths of her sisters. Her knowledge of this led to her becoming afraid of interacting with strange dragons. She recognized herself as an unfit candidate for the role of the MudWing in The Dragonet Prophecy, and did not like being away from her sibling group.
She appears to be clumsy, tripping over her own talons and bumping into other dragons. Heron hates making other dragons angry or upset, and is very apologetic as a result; in one instance where she accidentally fell on top of Viper, she apologized profusely, albeit to no avail.
She is incredibly loyal to her siblings, which is a very ordinary MudWing trait. She shows great concern for Caiman, as he is the only one of her sibs who is still alive.
== Biography ==
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire ===
Heron was indirectly mentioned when Morrowseer hints at a set of alternate dragonets of destiny.
Later, Heron was properly introduced by Nautilus when Morrowseer came to inspect the alternate dragonets. She got caught in a skirmish with some of the other dragonets, during which she tripped and fell on top of Viper by mistake.
== Relationships ==
=== Bog ===
When she first met him, Heron was immediately taken by Bog's friendly personality. She quickly initiated a friendship with him, and they gradually grew closer. She has said that he is the nicest and funniest dragon she's ever met, and that he is lucky he didn't have to grow up with dragons like Viper and Malicious. Heron was revealed to have a romantic affection toward Bog, which is unusual for MudWings. King Windracer stated that Bog reciprocates Heron's feelings, but doesn't know how to show it.
=== Caiman ===
Caiman is Heron's only brother, and the youngest of their clutch. She is devoted to keeping him safe after the deaths of their sisters, looking after him as an unofficial bigwings.
=== Everglade ===
Heron shows great pity to Everglade having lost her entire sibling group. She offered the younger MudWing a place with her and Caiman as an unsib, and looked happy and relieved when Everglade accepted.
=== Hawk ===
Hawk is the only one of the False Dragonets who has ever been nice to Heron. They appear to be friends, as Heron is comfortable talking to him about personal matters.
=== Terra, Fen and Grebe ===
The exact relationship between Heron and her sisters is unknown, but it was likely a positive one. Heron mentioned that their bigwings, Terra, would often go hunting even when it was someone else's turn, and knew all of their favorite foods by heart. Heron was devastated by their deaths and mourned them for weeks.

== Quotes ==
"I'm sorry! [...] I'm so sorry!" - to Viper
"All you've ever done is brag about how awesome NightWings are. [...] That they're far more superior than the other tribes. You think the whole universe revolves around you and your tribe." - to Malicious
"What about us? [...] Can we go home? Please? My sisters and brother have to be worried sick about me." - to Morrowseer
"This will never work. [...] No one will listen to us because we're not really the Dragonets of Destiny. Don't Nautilus and Morrowseer know that?" - to Hawk
"I don't know what color my egg was, or if I have fireproof scales. [...] And I didn't hatch on the brightest night, either. None of us did. Squid and I have the same hatching day, a few days after the brightest night. Viper was about a week early, and Hawk hatched a few weeks after. And Malicious was hatched a few months before. [...] I didn't want to be a part of this. All of this stuff about choosing the next SandWing queen, ending the war, and always doing what the NightWings tell us to do...it's not my destiny. I just want to go home, back to my sibs. I want this nightmare to be over." - to the Dragonets of Destiny
"I like how you turned out." - to Bog
