Starflight

You can't be the most cowardly dragon on Pyrrhia right now. Remember, you've read over all the history scrolls you could find about famous battles. Now use that knowledge. It's time to prove that you really do belong in this prophecy."

— Starflight's thoughts prior to the NightWing invasion, The Dark Secret

## Appearance

Starflight has dark gray/black scales, with darker overscales. The stars under his wings spread like a spray of water. His underscales are light gray. He has green eyes.

## Personality

Starflight is described as being a nervous and studious dragon. He is extraordinarily intelligent and is considered a know-it-all by his friends. Starflight can sometimes be annoying, according to his fellow dragonets of destiny, as he tends to regard academics very seriously. He was also often regarded as cowardly and meek, avoiding confrontation and usually preferring the easiest, most peaceful solutions.

## Relationships

### Clay

Starflight and Clay are good friends since they have known each other since hatching. Clay is often annoyed by Starflight's constant lectures, although he sometimes appreciates them. Starflight felt very annoyed when Clay called the Scorching "the Scalding," and in *The Hidden Kingdom*, Starflight seemed jealous of Clay when the MudWing called dibs on sleeping next to Sunny even though he was only joking and likely wanted to keep warm in the IceWing's territory.

### Tsunami

Tsunami and Starflight have known each other since hatching. Like the other dragonets (with the exception of Sunny), is annoyed by Starflight's lectures, and she often shushes him up. Despite this, they seem to care for each other, shown when they refuse to fight each other in Scarlet's arena. Tsunami once had a slight crush on Starflight, before realizing how annoying he could actually be, due to the ongoing endless lectures. Starflight often wishes he had Tsunami's "crazy-brave" courage, and Tsunami believes that the reason he studies so hard and reads so much information is so he can be an asset to the group.

### Glory

Glory, like the rest of the dragonets (not including Sunny), was always very annoyed by Starflight's lectures. She has made blunt remarks about his tribe to his face but never the less seems to care about him. They seem to trust each other since they have known each other since hatching. Starflight seems to admire Glory's way of remembering things easily and making plans.

### Sunny

Starflight is thought to admire Sunny's joyful personality but doesn't interact with her much in the first book. It is thought that he did love her then, too, for when Tsunami said to Peril that Sunny was like a little sister to all of them, Starflight acted like he considered Sunny differently. However, he does stand up for her against Tsunami, Glory, and even Morrowseer. In the second book, he is noticed to want to do everything in his power to protect her. In the third book, Glory is near certain he has had a crush on her for his entire life. Starflight has known Sunny and the other dragonets since hatching. Sunny seems to have the most positive attitude about Starflight and his lectures.
