Template:Character
**Clay** is an adult male MudWing and the main protagonist of *The Dragonet Prophecy*.Template:Ref Formerly a dragonet of destiny, he is partially responsible for the end of the War of SandWing Succession and the founding of Jade Mountain Academy.

## Appearance

Robyn has white skin, Blonde hair, glasses, blue eyes, and usually wears pink shirts with jeans.

## Personality

Clay is a friendly, strong, empathetic, protective, loving, caring, courageous, and extremely hungry dragon. He is committed to helping his friends and family, protecting them and keeping them safe at all costs. He is seen as a bigwings by most of his friends due to his selflessness, protectiveness, and kindness. He is willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but he will stand up for himself and his loved ones at all costs, even willing to guard them with his own life. He is loyal to a fault, displayed when he refused to leave Glory with Kestrel in *The Dragonet Prophecy*. According to Webs, he would do anything to the other four dragonets of destiny. He is honest, kind, open, a bit daft, and would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings.

Clay also loves feasting and food in general (like most of the MudWings, as seen by Ochre), a fact of which Sunny takes full advantage of and regularly teases him about it, often calling him "adorable." Clay appears to have a liking for larger, more meaty meals. This is shown many times throughout the first arc; cows are one of his favorite meals, as shown in *The Dragonet Prophecy*, and in other instances, it's shown that he likes to eat meat more than vegetables or fruits. Clay also dreams of eating.

He seems to be skilled in first aid and medical knowledge as shown in *The Lost Heir* and *Moon Rising*, and he also teaches healing at Jade Mountain Academy.

## Relationships

### Eda Anake

Robyn saved Eda's life when Jax tried to kill her. She put herself at risk of dying and made Eda have a feeling that she would be a good person. Soon after that, they befriended each other. Eda then slowly developed feelings for Robyn and was formerly jealous of Krys since they were good friends. But she did not want Robyn to *stop* spending time with him, So she hid her jealousy.

Eda was heart broken when Jax photoshopped a video of Robyn saying how much she hated Eda. Because of this, Eda slowly became mentally delicate and unstable. Later, She got therapy from Ekaz. They developed a good friendship and she helped stop her pain. Robyn tried to reason with Eda in a fight with her, but Eda wouldn't listen. That is when she nearly died when Robyn saved her, and confessed her love to Eda.

### Peril

Clay befriended Peril while trapped in the SkyWing arena by Queen Scarlet. They became friends quickly and Peril developed feelings for him because he was the only dragon that liked her the way she was. After Clay fights Fjord, Peril brings hot mud to treat his scratches and wounds. He soon finds out that Scarlet ordered Peril not to talk to him, but she defies those orders. Peril seemed jealous of Clay's other friends because she wanted Clay to herself; when she helps the dragonets escape and later betrays them, Clay touches her and discovers that he's immune to her firescales. This helps when he fights Peril against his will in the arena, leaving Peril to admit that she wanted to save him after Kestrel and for him to like her more than the other dragonets. Clay says he does not want to hurt her, but Peril says they have to fight.

Their fight ends after Queen Scarlet is sprayed with Glory's venom, and they escape in the ensuing chaos. Glory says Peril might be the missing SkyWing, but that is proved false. Peril chose to stay behind and distract the other SkyWings from the escaping dragonets, where she states that's all she's good for. Clay says that it's not all she's good for, giving her a dragon equivalent of a hug. Peril leaves but sees the dragonets again in *The Brightest Night* and *Moon Rising*. Peril saves Clay's life in the fifth book by burning out the dragonbite viper's venom in his thigh. In the sixth book, he invites her to the Jade Mountain Academy. In *Talons of Power*, Qibli tells Peril that Clay likes her but just doesn't know what to do about it. In *Darkness of Dragons*, Peril and Clay go flying together. Clay sees the good in Peril even when she herself does not.

### Siblings

Clay has six siblings: Reed, Marsh, Crane, Pheasant, Sora, and Umber. He met them all (except Crane) when Clay and Glory - who was disguised as a MudWing - went to go meet his mother. Crane had died in the sibling's first battle, between Burn's and Blaze's forces, before Clay came back. If his egg was not taken by the Talons of Peace, Clay would have been the troop's bigwings. In Clay's absence, Reed became the bigwings. He did ask if Clay wanted to be their bigwings, but Clay turned Reed's offer down, knowing that Reed would do a much better job, having grown up with MudWings and having the complete trust and loyalty of all their siblings. When Starflight used his dreamvisitor, he saw Clay dream about his siblings. Starflight said that Clay's siblings were, "More dragons we have to save in this war." Clay seemed shocked and saddened when Sora set a dragonflame cactus off in the school.

### Starflight

As with the other dragonets, Clay considers Starflight a brother. He took the dragonbite viper bite meant for Starflight and shielded him when the volcano of the NightWing Fortress exploded. Although Clay gets bored of Starflight's lectures sometimes, he cares about him quite a lot, so much that he would risk his life to keep him safe. Starflight sees Clay as his bigwings, as the rest of the dragonets do. All in all, Starflight and Clay have a good relationship.

### Students

Clay cares about the students at Jade Mountain Academy and their safety. He is regarded as a hero among them due to his limp caused by his wound from the dragonbite viper. He is good at defusing arguments between students and is shown to take their suggestions, such as when Tamarin and Peregrine suggest herbs and healing class. He has also claimed that he tries to write as little as possible, due to him not being very good at spelling, as he mentioned to Peril in *Darkness of Dragons*.

### Sunny

Sunny is like a little sister to Clay, and he treats her as such. When Clay decided to travel down the river under the mountain, Sunny said, "Don't you *dare* die!" Clay also wanted to go save Sunny when she was trapped in a cage in the Sky Kingdom as soon as he learned where she was, after badgering Peril for the information. When Sunny wants to explain her idea about the darts in the RainWings' attack, she turns to Clay because she thinks he will listen. He seems to be the dragonet she confides in the most. Clay takes a poisonous viper bite to save Sunny's life and says he would do it over and over again if he could. He is one of the only dragons to take Sunny seriously, as shown when Clay paid attention to the "weird crab" Sunny found.

### Tsunami

Tsunami is among Clay's closest friends. She found and cured him when Clay was drenched in the white ooze in the underground river and his scales were burning with pain. Also, she stabbed Scarlet's tail with a sword to allow herself and Clay to fly away from the SkyWing queen. Later, she calls Clay a "handsome idiot" and gives him a hint that Peril likes him, though it goes right over his head because Clay is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Throughout the book, Tsunami often interjects when Clay talks about Glory and Sunny in front of Peril because she appears to understand that Peril gets jealous. After she and Clay escape from under the mountain, Clay notices how beautiful and shiny her scales were in full moonlight (he says that they looked like emeralds). In *The Lost Heir*, she states she had feelings for Clay and Starflight but had gotten over her crush when she realized Clay thought of her as a sister and that Starflight was "too annoying."
She was also the second one to hatch, and the first egg Clay tried to help with hatching.
