==Moray==
Moray is a male 5 year old Royal SeaWing who currently is attending Jade Mountain Academy in the Ruby Winglet. He is brother to Whirl and is the oldest son of Moray and Flounder. Moray was named after his mother, Moray, who is Queen Coral's Communications Herald. 
==Appearance==
Moray is a dark-greyish blue with lighter blue undertones and a blue wash to his luminescent scales. His blue scales are described multiple times as 'blobby' or 'dull', however they are lighter than his fathers, Flounders. His wings are large and thick, and his face is round yet pointed at some edges. His talons are long and curved, differing to his horns which are rounded and plump. He is said to be pretty lean by Secretkeeper, but is described as plump and healthy by Dust-Bowl. He wears a ruby-gold earring in one ear and a enchanted ring on one of his talons. When at the Academy, he wears a huge blue and navy pouch that holds a lot of his belongings. Asha describes him as a "Toy of a SeaWing made into a real breathing dragon." He is said to be bigger than Secretkeeper and Whirl but smaller than Asha and Changbai.
He is a part of the Royal SeaWing Family, but hides his markings using a enchanted ring created by Turtle.
==Personality==
Moray is friendly and brotherly, yet can be combative and fierce if he's ever pushed to the point. He's described as friendly, kind, compassionate, affectionate, and shiny. However he can also be 'very boring' and will purposefully avoid direct conflict out of safety for himself or others. He can also be described as blobby, boring, dull, uninteresting, or dry. Unlike his brother, Whirl, Moray is more accustomed to keep to himself and is very calm and stone-faced. He does not seem as active as Whirl can be. 
==History==
Moray was born 2 years after Turtle, making him 5 years old during the story. Moray was raised to believe that he should grow up like his mother, Moray, who fawns over royalty as well as Queen Coral. However Moray is shown to have no interest at all in royalty in the slightest, and grows to hate the idea of being royal due to how differently he is treated by every dragon he knew. Moray would sulk and hide in his room until everyone had passed through the kingdom, giving him time to be on his own. Turtle one day visited Moray and enchanted a golden ring for him to wear that would hide the royal patterns on his wings-- and ever since then, Moray would barely or, begrudgingly take it off. Moray also is known to fold his wings when wearing the ring-- so that no family members would become suspicious. Moray however does not wear the ring around family, and puts it in a small pouch he would wrap around his tail. 
Moray takes his time to apply for Jade Mountain Academy, in hopes of escaping the SeaWing Royal Family and in hopes of making new friends who are not only his friends due to royal status. However he is nervous of this, as Whirl, his younger brother, does not mind flaunting around the fact he is a royal member, and does not hide his wing patterns. However, Moray and Whirl both get accepted, with the promise of Whirl being put in a group of "Younger Dragonets" at Morays and Queen Coral's request. After arriving at the academy, Moray speaks to Turtle before the opening ceremony, then speaks to Tsunami during it-- who promises that his Winglet will be 'special' and informs him to go speak to Sunny, another School Head, as soon as he can. Moray instead finds his cave dorm and falls asleep, being greeted by Changbai and Asha when he awakes.
Changbai and Asha speak to Moray coolantly and happily as they all get to know each other, which is where Moray learns Changbai also came to school to escape the IceWing royalty, and is a secret Animus. He reveals to her his Royal Patterns which she doesn't seem to be phased by, and promises that she won't tell anyone of them. After that Moray and Changbai both part to fall asleep, in which Moray wonders what may happen the next day.

== Relationships ==
=== Moray (Mother) ===
Moray and his mother do not have a well relationship, whilst they do not hate each other-- Moray and his mother do not get along. Moray has shown to resent his mother due to the way she treated him. His mother believed him to be the descendant to her, rather than his own dragon, and only tried to morph him in her image rather than allow him to freely think while under her. The last interaction between Moray and his mother was cold yet unwanted, Moray wanted to 'fly away as soon as he could, hoping that if he had went far enough that she wouldn't follow.'
=== Flounder ===
Moray and his father, Flounder, have an amazing relationship. Flounder shows affection and care for Moray, seeming great despair when Moray (mother) treats her son like a mirror rather than a normal dragon. Flounder tries to do the best for his son and even speaks of finding him a better caretaker just so he can feel the 'motherly love' that he 'should have felt from the start.' The last interaction between them was positive and warm, Moray holding on tight to his father and only letting go when he had too.
=== Abyss ===
Moray and Abyss seem to have a well relationship, Abyss shows motherly affection for Moray, however cannot understand his yearning for being of the Royal Family. Abyss however makes sure of Moray feeling loved and taken care of. She also is motherly towards Whirl, however she focuses mainly on Moray to make him feel welcomed. Their last interaction seemed positive and welcoming, Abyss nudging his wings and promising that she would never see him as less than a son.
=== Whirl ===
Moray and Whirl have an amazing relationship. Whirl shows to be compassionate and caring towards his older brother, Moray. He tries to make Moray laugh when he is sad, and makes sure that Moray never worries about him-- even though Moray continues to worry. Whirl is shown to be dependent and reliant on Moray, however wanting to be independent and solitary some times. Their interactions seem excited and happy, brothers interacting.
== Appearances ==
=== Darkness Rising ===
Moray is the main protagonist and POV for Darkness Rising, The Prologue being Sabarahi and the Epilogue being Flounder, Moray's Father. Moray is the protagonist in Darkness Rising due to his compelling thoughts on government as well as royalty, which also plays into his views on secret magic or powers. Moray is supposed to help the viewer get a good idea of the book before they dive in head strong, which is why he is a good character for that.
Moray is the driving force for exploring under Jade Mountain, and the dragon who made the idea to take back stolen parts of Darkstalker's scroll which still exists, he and Secretkeeper are the two most prone to the investigating, as Secretkeeper is a NightWing. Moray shifts between anxious and boring moods throughout his story, highlighting how almost all dragons see him. He thinks on end about stuff during this time, so much that it gives Secretkeeper a "Headache"...
