Tsunami (Wings Of Fire)

**Tsunami** is an adult female Seawing and the main protagonist of *The Lost Heir*. Formerly a dragonet of destiny, she was also partially responsible for ending the War of SandWing Succession. She is a princess and the oldest living heir to the SeaWing throne. She is the headmistress of Jade Mountain Academy, where she resides and is currently in a long-distance relationship with Riptide.

## Description

According to Webs, Tsunami's egg was of “The deepest blue”, matching the description of the foretold SeaWing dragonet's egg.

Tsunami has dark, deep, royal-blue scales like sapphires that have pale emerald-green flecks underneath them, and shimmer like cobalt glass in torchlight. She has sharp white teeth, blue talons, a long neck, and tail, large, translucent green eyes. She has azure-blue wings, the color of the sea, that have starbursts shaped like webbed talonprints underneath them. She is tall, and bigger than Turtle and Sundew, but smaller than Clay, with a sleek, elegant form. One of her wings has a cut near the edge. She has a powerful tail, like most SeaWings.

She also wears several strands of pearls, including a beautiful, heavy, oddly-shaped, cool, smooth, long strand of shimmering pale purple pearls draped around her neck, as well as one wrapped around her chest and wings, given to her by her mother. She has a brash voice.

## Personality

Powerful and fast, Tsunami is defiant, noisy, brave, independent, bossy, fearless, vengeful, firm, outspoken, bold, impulsive, desperate to prove herself, stout, indignant, fierce, determined, snarky, brisk, buoyant, and does not typically wait for permission before acting.

Peril thought of her as a fireball that blazed at everything that made her mad. She does not trust prophecies or animus magic, and she is angry, ferocious, and a famously formidable warrior. She shouts often and is not terrific at answering polite questions, and she sometimes makes specific, alarmingly detailed threats.

She often ignores her exhaustion in order to persist towards her goals, and she is easily ruffled, with a short temper. She is protective and will fight for those she cares about. She can sometimes be polite, and has learned to better control her impulses, although she is still willing to fight when necessary. She was considered to have potential by Morrowseer.

She likes reading, but she cannot read very fast and would rather be fighting something. She does not like being caught by anything stronger than she is, and she often does not appreciate advice. She likes feeling powerful and dangerous, but began to feel as though she should stop listening to all of her first instincts after she learned that Gill, a dragon that she had previously killed, was her father.  She was self-conscious about why she was not a better dragon and second-guessed her true intentions whilst taking Auklet's egg: was she doing the right thing, or acting on impulse? She is desperate to make up for her mistakes and considers her first duty to be protecting her friends. She strives to be the sort of dragon her friends can trust.

Despite Tsunami's brash exterior, she internally feels very rattled about killing other dragons, despite her believing that such a sentiment is ridiculous for a dragon to have. She also felt very guilty after becoming defensive so quickly around Riptide. She believes that helping others is important, and is adamantly against anyone being used. Luna described her as even scarier than Sundew sometimes, and believed that she would not even stop to think before rescuing members of the stealth team. She is working on acting more on logic rather than impulse, although she has been quick to anger for her entire life.

## Relationships

### Anemone

Tsunami was initially jealous of Anemone, thinking about how she would have had the same matching throne and pearls if the Talons of Peace had not stolen her egg. She simply viewed her as a rival to the throne, someone who she could easily kill, though she felt guilty for thinking about something like that on her first meeting with her family. Though, Tsunami quickly warmed up to Anemone. Anemone laughed at Tsunami mocking Whirlpool, a shared dislike they both have towards him. Tsunami is determined that no one will ever, ever hurt Anemone, not while she is around, and she feels nearly protective enough to protect Anemone in the same way that Coral did as the dragonet was growing up. She is physically affectionate towards her younger sister, and would have accepted her into the dragonets of destiny without care for how much danger it would cause. Tsunami believes that Anemone has all of Coral's good qualities and believes that she will be a good queen one day. She deeply worries about the wellbeing of her sister, having nightmares about her going insane. After Anemone used her weather bracelets to impress Darkstalker, Tsunami immediately grew worried for her soul and defended her when Darkstalker said he knew what she did to Whirlpool.

### Auklet

Tsunami vowed to protect Auklet's egg by any means, and she was pleased when Clay stated they shared the same snout shape. She is proud of Auklet. They have a good relationship. When Auklet came with Queen Coral to the school, Tsunami was overjoyed to see her.

### Clay

Clay is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. Tsunami often defended Clay against Kestrel's harsh training and words. Tsunami was not surprised by Clay's explanation of his attack on their eggs, as she never believed he tried to kill them in the first place. Tsunami described Clay as being one of the most trustworthy of the dragonets of destiny. 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. He was happy to see her after they were separated in the Kingdom of the Sea, and she felt warm and happy to be with him again. They are physically affectionate towards one another, and she feels happy and calm around him. She is very important to him, and she considers him to be family.

### Coral

Coral is Tsunami's mother. While Tsunami mostly adores her mother, she often questions Coral's ruling and judgment. Tsunami believes that some of the queen's ways are scary and harsh, such as slaughtering her guards brutally and publicly to punish them. But overall, it is shown that they love each other and Queen Coral cares for her very much.

### Deathbringer

Tsunami distrusts Deathbringer, possibly because he once threw a sharp disk through her wing and threatened to kill the dragonets of destiny. Despite this, she has some respect for him. She rolled her eyes when she saw the look he gave Glory, possibly indicating that she does not approve of their relationship.

### Gill

Tsunami snapped Gill's neck in the SkyWing arena, not knowing that he was her father until Coral told her. Before she learned Gill was her father, she tried to hide how rattled she was about Gill's death. Tsunami was somewhat sure that she had not wanted kill Gill initially, but believed she had no other choice. She found it easier to not think of Gill as a real dragon due to his loss of sanity. When she found out that they were related, she was overcome with guilt. She tried to justify Gill's death in her head before realizing that she had killed Gill out of impulse and a want to prove something to Scarlet. In *The Dark Secret*, Tsunami is shown to have a nightmare about killing him. She sadly thought of him as one of the dragons who did not make it to the end of the war.

### Glory

Glory is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. Although Tsunami considers Glory to be the most dangerous and the least trustworthy of the dragonets of destiny, Tsunami wants what is best for her and would fight for her. She appreciates Glory attacking Scarlet to save them, but is bitter that the dragonets do not consider Tsunami's own violent actions to be in the same light. She considers Glory family, and Glory is often teasing towards her. They sometimes display physical affection, although not often. Tsunami believes Glory is scary and tough like a real queen, though she would never admit it out loud to Glory. As young dragonets, Tsunami slung one wing around Glory and joked that Clay would have to stop Tsunami from murdering her.

### Kestrel

When Sunny began crying after learning of Kestrel's death, Tsunami stated that Kestrel was unkind and did not deserve Sunny's grief. She was not a good parent, but she was one of the only parents that Tsunami ever knew.

### Peril

Tsunami was initially very wary and mistrusting of Peril, as she killed many dragons with her firescales, not bothering to stand up against Scarlet and fight back. When Peril tried to burn her chains, Tsunami was hesitant. She has also considered Peril as a psychopath. In *The Brightest Night*, when Peril saved Clay by burning out the poison, Tsunami was speechless yet grateful. However, when Clay suggested they invited Peril to their school, Tsunami was worried about the idea. In *Moon Rising*, Tsunami suspected Peril of setting off the bomb that killed Carnelian and Bigtail. In *Escaping Peril*, Tsunami was still shown to lack trust towards Peril, admitting to Ruby that she did not like the SkyWing. Despite this, she does not wish harm to Peril.

### Riptide

Riptide is supportive of Tsunami, and he is physically affectionate towards her. Riptide's whole face lit up when Tsunami was mentioned, and Moonwatcher said that Tsunami thinks of Riptide all the time, and wants to hear from him. She makes him nervous, but she genuinely likes him, and hoped to see him again after their initial meeting. She likes having him around her, and although her first instinct was to yell at him for lying about the identity of his father, he looks at her without any expectation of her becoming queen or any judgement about her murder of Gill; he only sees her as a dragon whom he likes very much. After she reassured him physically, Tsunami felt something tingle in the air between them. He helped her to forget about Gill's death for a while, and he took her front talons in his before they parted. He told her to be careful and that he would be close, if she needed him. Tsunami considered him to be someone that she could trust, but after discovering that he had lied to her about his affiliation with the Talons of Peace, her trust was broken in him, and she wondered if she could believe anything he said. After he apologized to her, she was unsure about her forgiveness towards her, but she still wanted a chance to decide. She wanted him to survive the War of SandWing Succession, and she wanted to meet him again after it was over. When they saw each other in *The Dangerous Gift,* the two awkwardly tried to hug each other and clearly have feelings for one another.

### Starflight

Starflight is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. After being temporarily captured by Morrowseer, it seemed to Tsunami that Starflight wanted to argue with her about everything, despite her wanting what is best for him and her willingness to fight for him. Most of the time, Tsunami felt bad for Starflight due to his lack of bravery, fighting skills and NightWing powers. However, Tsunami believed that he knew more than any other dragon on Pyrrhia. She is physically affectionate towards him, and sometimes wishes that she were more like him. She believes in his efforts to be brave and helpful, and considers him family. She did not think Starflight would ever betray them and had argued with Glory for an entire day about it. She was overjoyed when Starflight managed to escape the NightWing Island.

### Sunny

Sunny is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. Tsunami considers Sunny to be one of the most trustworthy of the dragonets of destiny, and she would fight for and wants the best for Sunny. She considers Sunny family, like a sister.

### Turtle

Turtle is one of Tsunami's thirty-two brothers. Tsunami is surprised about this at first but quickly grows to love her brother, saying that he is "probably the best of them," since he was the only one who came to Jade Mountain Academy. He is one of the only brothers that she has actually met in person. Whenever she sees him, she seems to either be relieved or happy. The two of them swam to Pantala together in the epilogue of *The Hive Queen*.

### Webs

Despite him being the only other SeaWing she knew as a dragonet, Tsunami was never close to Webs. While she appreciated that he was the only guardian who actually cared about the dragonets, she thought he should have tried harder to protect them. She was also angry with Webs for stealing her egg, as she believes he had cheated her of her life as a princess in the Sea Kingdom. She later learnt that she would never had her life as a princess because she would have been killed before she hatched by the assassin (Orca's enchanted statue) and that Webs had actually indirectly saved her.

### Whirlpool

Tsunami would never marry Whirlpool, a feeling that is mutual. She considers him awful and annoying, and stated that he was a horrible teacher.
