Starflight (GOTM)

Starflight is a male NightWing dragonet and one of the two main protagonists of Gifts of the Moons, the other being Sunny. He can read minds, communicate telepathically with other dragons, and see the future, and is a Dragonet of Destiny.
== Appearance ==
Starflight has midnight-black scales with glints of deep blue in them. The silver scales on the underside of his wings spray outward, like a splash of water. He has a silver teardrop scale on the outside corner of each of his green eyes, which signify his status as a mind-reader.
== Personality ==
Starflight's personality remains largely the same as his canon counterpart - he is hesitant, sensible, anxious, indignant, and a know-it-all. Despite lacking in fighting skills, he is determined and willing to fight for his friends. He tries to know everything so that he may be useful, and wants to be brave. He is talented at memorizing things and repeating those facts when he believes they'd be useful. Experiences with his mind-reading have taught him to be more aware of what other dragons are thinking, and he is often worried about the future.
== Biography ==
=== Gifts of the Moons ===
Starflight was given to the Talons of Peace as an unhatched egg by Morrowseer, the NightWing prophet who delivered The Dragonet Prophecy. Unlike most of the other dragonets, his egg was not stolen, but given to the Talons of Peace by the NightWings; hence the line in the prophecy "Wings of night shall come to you." His egg was later brought outside, along with the others, to hatch in the moonlight under Dune's suggestion. Starflight then hatched under the three full moons, thus giving him the powers of mind-reading and future seeing. He was raised by the guardians: Kestrel, Dune, and Webs, along with the other dragonets - Clay, Tsunami, Glory, and Sunny.
Later, when the dragonets were three, Starflight overheard Tsunami's thoughts about performing a test to see if any of the dragonets have animus magic. After the idea was presented to their friends, they agreed to participate, and Tsunami gave each of them a rock. Starflight was the fourth to try, but failed to get his rock to move. When Sunny's powers were discovered, he was left in shock along with his friends. After a close call with Kestrel, Starflight explained the risks of using animus magic to the other dragonets, using Prince Albatross of the SeaWings as an example, and, along with Clay, reassured Sunny about her powers. Shortly after turning in for the night, he had several vision-nightmares about potential bad futures, then a dream of being in a group hug with his friends.
== Relationships ==
=== Clay ===
Starflight and Clay are good friends, having known each other since hatching, and could almost be brothers. Starflight considers Clay's thoughts about food to be "a surprisingly comforting white noise".
=== Glory ===
Starflight and Glory seem to love each other like siblings or friends. However, when Glory failed the dragonets' animus test, he couldn't help but feel relieved due to overhearing her thoughts about enchanting Dune's dinner to eat him. Starflight was against the idea of using Sunny's magic to turn Glory into a SkyWing, mostly because of how it would draw suspicion from the guardians, though he does consider her to be a fellow Dragonet of Destiny in spite of the fact that she's a RainWing.
=== Kestrel ===
Like the other dragonets, Starflight is afraid of Kestrel and dreads battle practice with her. Upon hatching, he detected a lot of fire in her soul with the presence of something smaller and cooler buried inside. Starflight notes that Kestrel's mind is full of angry thoughts, and wishes he could place her thoughts on a scroll and arrange them in an order that makes sense.
=== Sunny ===
Starflight admires Sunny's joyful personality, and is willing to make personal sacrifices for her benefit, such as when he offered to let her go before him during the dragonets' animus test. He has a crush on her, but is afraid to tell her due to knowing that she doesn't feel the same way. He wants Sunny to be happy, and felt bad when he realized he'd scared her with the story of Prince Albatross. Sunny seems to have the most positive attitude about Starflight and his lectures, and he does not think she is simple like most dragons do.
=== Tsunami ===
Tsunami and Starflight have known each other since hatching. Starflight often wishes he was as strong and brave as Tsunami. He helped Tsunami present her idea of hosting a test to see if any of the dragonets were animi.
== Quotes ==
"She was just reading about animus dragons, and now she wants to do a sort of test to see if any of us are one." - to Glory
"Either way, [...] we all need to be very smart and very careful about this. If we suddenly got blankets in our beds, or if Glory just disappeared and was replaced by some random SkyWing, the guardians would know something was up. And Sunny really shouldn't use her powers too much, not with what it costs." - to Tsunami
"There's a theory that every time an animus dragon uses their magic, it costs them a bit of their soul. And that once all of their soul is gone, they turn evil. Granted, it's not confirmed, but there is a substantial amount of evidence to support it. Prince Albatross, for example, was the first animus in the SeaWing tribe. He made a lot of contributions to the Kingdom of the Sea with his magic, before he went insane and slaughtered most of his family. He had to be killed himself by a legendary warrior named Indigo -" - to Clay
"Trust me, Sunny, the last thing you are is simple. Sweet, definitely, but not simple." - to Sunny
"We care. [...] You're our friend. You'll always be one of us." - thoughts, to Glory.
