Kestrel took Cardinal's egg into the caves where she had a chat with Webs about the prophecy calling for two Skywing dragonets, so Webs decides to go find a RainWing egg to replace the dead SkyWing. Formerly a dragonet of destiny, Cardinal was also partially responsible for the end of the War of SandWing Succession and the founding of Jade Mountain Academy. Unfortunately, something came up at the Sky kingdom and Cardinal had to go back to help. She resides in the SkyWing Kingdom, and is in a relationship with Flame.

=== Ruby: ===
Ruby is Cardinals older sister. The two are shown to have a good relationship and are friendly towards each other. When Cardinal showed concern for her friends in the arena, Ruby was sympathetic and tried to help ease her worries and think of ways to get them out. And Before Cardinal and the other dragonets left the Sky Kingdom, Ruby stopped her and gave her a ruby and gold gemstone bracelet, matching the one that she wore. Cardinal accepted the bracelet and put it on, then after Tsunami shouted to hurry up, Cardinal said goodbye to her sister and left.
=== Queen Scarlet: ===
Cardinal's biological mother and a dragon that Cardinal grew to hate. Scarlet knew she was the SkyWing egg that Burn failed to kill and told Cardinal subtly that she was her mother when the SkyWings found the secret cave and the dragonets. After knowing how Scarlet has abused Peril and witnessed how cruel and uncaring she was, she wanted nothing to do with her.

Cardinal has feelings for Flame, as shown by their interactions together. She is one of the few dragons that Flame tolerates or likes any affection from. 
=== Clay: ===
Clay is one of the dragonets that Cardinal grew up with under the mountain. She wants the best for him and would fight for his safety, and she loves many things about him. She considers him to be the heart of the dragonets of destiny, and believed that the prophecy could not be fulfilled without him.

=== Glory: ===
Glory is one of Cardinal's friends. She considers Glory family, and Glory is often teasing towards her. They sometimes display physical affection. Cardinal believes Glory is scary and tough like a real queen, though she would never admit it out loud to her. As young dragonets, Cardinal and Glory would often play together, and when she was very young, Cardinal actually believed her and Glory were biological sisters, this would go on until Kestrel sat her down and harshly explained that they were not related.
=== Tsunami: ===
Cardinal isn't very fond of Tsunami's bossy and reckless behavior. Regardless, She considers Tsunami to be a close friend and would risk her life to save her, even if she doesn't need saving. 
=== Starflight: ===
Even though Cardinal is often annoyed by his know-it-all personality and constant rambling, she appears to love him like a brother. She apparently knew about his crush on Sunny, possibly from Glory, and thought he should do something about it. Cardinal shows affection to him sometimes and would kill to protect him.
=== Sunny: ===
Sunny is like a little sister to Cardinal, and she treats her like one. When Cardinal learned Sunny was trapped in a cage somewhere in the Kingdom, she immediately wanted to go save her. She is one of the only dragons to take Sunny seriously, as shown when she paid attention to a weird crab Sunny found in the underground river.
=== Peril: ===
Peril is a friend Cardinal became very close to in a short period of time. She spent most of her nights with Peril, and got to know her before she discovered she was the arena champion. She got to see the real side of Peril, the bubbly, quirky, fun dragon that Scarlet didn't program. Cardinal, along with Clay, was determined to prove to Peril that she didn't have to live her life under the Queens orders, and made it a point to show her that she cared about her and that they were willing to give her the life and the family she deserved. Ultimately, she declined their offer, saying that she wanted to stay, and Cardinal respected her decision. Since it was the first time she ever got to make a choice for herself. Since Cardinal returned to the Sky Kingdom, she and Peril have more time to talk and catch up. 
=== Kestrel: ===
Kestrel thought Cardinal was "too nice" and would often call her "weak" because of it, even though Cardinal trained, studied hard, and was good at fighting. As a result of this, Cardinal held much disdain and dislike towards Kestrel and often defended her friends from her when she got the chance, like when Cardinal and Tsunami got Kestrel to leave Clay alone during his battle training.
=== Webs: ===
