Coriander (HTTYWOF)

Coriander, sometimes referred to by the nickname Cori, is a female SandWing dragonet 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 Prince Diamondback's adopted daughter and is currently attending Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Gold Winglet.
== Appearance ==
Coriander has pale gold and sand-yellow scales, and warm, brown eyes in addition to a dark tail barb. She has a diamond pattern running down her spine, but, unlike most SandWings, hers is a shade of yellow so pale that it looks white.
== Personality ==
She is mentioned to be the nicest SandWing in the orphanage, and possibly the entire Scorpion Den. She appears to be very optimistic about most things, and is especially excited at the idea of one day having a family of her own. She hates the idea of dragons fighting and holds a strong desire to have as many friends as possible. She also appears to put the needs of others before her own, as she left Arid her pouch of coriander seeds on the belief that they would help her feel better.
== Biography ==
=== How to Train Your Wings of Fire ===
Coriander first appears along with the other orphans on their weekly trip to the town of Possibility. She manages to spot Arid sitting by herself near the river and, noticing how upset she looked, went over to say hello. When the hybrid didn't answer, Coriander repeated herself and asked what her name was. Arid instead told the dragonet that she wanted to be alone. Before Coriander could say anything else, her supervisor called for her. She left her pouch of coriander seeds behind, thinking that Arid would feel better if she ate some.
Later, Arid encountered Coriander again in the Scorpion Den, and proceeded to apologize for not speaking to her before. She thanked the dragonet for the coriander seeds and returned Coriander's bag to her.
Coriander showed up later in the Outclaws' tent, asking if she could join the group. Diamondback allowed her to stay, taking her in as his apprentice.
A few days before the peace summit that would determine the end of the War of SandWing Succession, the owner of the orphanage came looking for Coriander, who was unwilling to leave her new friends. Diamondback promptly decided to adopt her as his daughter.
== Relationships ==
=== Prince Diamondback ===
Coriander looks up to and admires Diamondback as a member of the Outclaws. She begged him to let her stay, and was overjoyed when Diamondback asked if he could adopt her.
=== Heron ===
Heron is Coriander's clawmate. Coriander is sympathetic toward Heron for having lost her sisters, and empathizes with her.
=== Parents ===
Coriander's parents died in the war when she was less than a year old, so she doesn't remember a whole lot about them. She recalls that her mother was very sweet, and would always put coriander seeds into her cakes, while her father was funny, and would go out of his way to make the both of them laugh. Coriander wholeheartedly believes that her parents loved her and that all three of them would have lived a happy life together if they had survived the war.
=== Poison Dart ===
Coriander met Poison Dart through Tamarin. They get along well, often exploring outside Jade Mountain together. Coriander thinks Poison Dart is funny, and trusts him enough to reveal her sexuality.
=== Tamarin ===
Coriander is in the Gold Winglet with Tamarin. She admires Tamarin's determination and independence, and how well she tolerates her clawmate, Princess Icicle.
