==Appearance==
In A Friend's Gift, Horizon was described as a charming amber-gold dragonet with fiery orange and red wings. This was considered unique among SkyWings, as no other dragon at the time was known to have the same colors as him. He also had a light peachy yellow underbelly and brown horns. His eyes were the same color as citrine crystals, often glimmering with playful mischief.
==Personality==
Horizon was always bright and cheerful, a 'ray of sunshine' that would never fail to brighten one's day. He was outgoing and positive. He always cared about Condor and believed that he was the most special dragon in the world, and he wanted Condor to realize that himself. He loved watching the performances and tricks done by hawks and falcons trained by a birdkeeper named Finch. 
==Biography==
===A Friend's Gift===
Horizon was introduced in A Friend's Gift, playing with his friends at the Summer Solstice Festival. He eventually left after wondering when his friend Condor would show up, worried that he had been hiding away for quite some time after he discovered he was an Animus. Horizon goes to visit Condor and invite him to go to the festival, but Condor believes he might hurt someone because of his magic, to which Horizon reassures that he's still the same kind dragon he always has been. They decide to go together the next day, and for the rest of the evening they sit outside and watch the sunset.
The next day, Horizon waits for Condor at the Festival grounds, wandering about and eventually finds a spot to rest under the shade of a nearby cliff. An earthquake hits the valley, destroying most of the set up tents and splitting the cliffside in two. This ultimately resulted in Horizon's death, as he became trapped by sinking into the pile of loose gravel and rocks that he was sitting on.
==Relationships==
===Condor===
Condor and Horizon were very close friends. He would always stick up for Condor if he was ever teased or picked on. Horizon believed his friend was the most important person in the world, and wanted him to be proud by the fact he had Animus magic. Horizon was amazed by Condor's gift, not only because it was made of his favorite crystal, but also because of the enchantment that had been placed on it so Horizon never lost it. It made him wonder if Condor had been practicing with his magic to understand it better, rather than just hiding out of fear. When waiting for Condor at the Summer Solstice Festival, Horizon planned to get a gift for him in return for the earring. 
==Quotes==
"Condor shouldn’t be so worried about being an Animus, he should be proud! The first Animus the SkyWings have had in decades! He’s the most special dragon in the kingdom— no, in the entire world! And he needs to realize that." - Wondering to himself
"If I was an Animus, what would I do?" - Wondering to himself
"Look at me, Condor... You’re acting like you hatched with firescales, not Animus magic. You’re not a danger to anyone. You’re still the kind, careful dragon who wouldn’t hurt a scavenger. Just because you have magic doesn’t mean you’re suddenly a big scary monster. Just​​— don’t use it? Obviously? And you’ll be fine!" - To Condor
"I would never lose something this important." - About Condor's gift
==Trivia==
*Horizon's favorite gemstone is citrine.
* Had the earthquake never occurred, Horizon would have asked Condor to be his boyfriend.
*He wanted to become a birdkeeper like Finch, and likely would have pursued the profession if he had survived the earthquake.
