## Description

Moonwatcher is small, with cool, smooth, shiny purplish-black scales that are imbued with hints of dark blue and green. She possesses one glittering silver scale on the outside corner of each of her dark green eyes, like a teardrop about to fall—these scales are bigger and shinier than Fatespeaker's. She has powerful muscles, black wings and frequently has small furrows crossing her forehead, as though she has a perpetual headache.

## Personality

Moonwatcher is nervous and anxious, but kind, firm, brave, determined, loyal and friendly. According to her partner, Qibli, she is fascinating. She initially had trouble interacting with others, sometimes stammering when trying to talk; her ability to always know what one thinks of her in mind and foresee the future often made it very difficult for her to communicate with other dragons. Sometimes, she would have so many other dragon's thoughts in her head that she could not think her own thoughts clearly. She suffered from social anxiety and was easily frightened by loud, overwhelming, and hectic situations. She often tried to avoid being around others by reading scrolls to calm herself down. Moonwatcher was troubled about what others would think of her and did not open up easily to her peers; however, she still looked for the good in dragons. She seems to be well-liked by others.

Experiences with her mind-reading and the explosion of the history cave taught her to be more open with her powers and to use them for the good of other dragons instead of hiding them; Moonwatcher also showed her determined side on many occasions, such as when she reminded Winter of his good qualities, advocated for her belief that all dragons have some good in them, and sought out Qibli at the end of *Darkness of Dragons* to ask if they could be together. She is easily flustered and sometimes reluctant. She has a sort of distracted air about her most of the time, as though invisible dragons whisper in her ears while everyone else is talking. According to Luna, she is kind of spacey at weird moments. She thinks there are a lot of things wrong about her, including the fact that she sometimes struggles to tell others about her mind-reading.

## Relationships

### Anemone

Moon seems oblivious to Anemone's jealousy of her relationship with Darkstalker, up until Anemone enchants a mop to attack her out of rage. Moonwatcher seems to forgive the SeaWing, as she defends Anemone when Darkstalker is furious with her for hurting Moon.

### Darkstalker

Moonwatcher was Darkstalker's best friend when he emerged from Agate Mountain. She began crying at the discovery of what he had done to Arctic, and although she had just wanted to hear his voice again, she admitted that Arctic's death was the cruelest thing she had ever read. She later stated that she had been fine before she met Darkstalker, to which he responded by yelling at her.

After he was freed, Darkstalker refused to enchant Moonwatcher's mind as he did for most of Pyrrhia, and she believed that he was not evil. She genuinely liked him, largely due to the fact that he genuinely likes her, and he was one of the only dragons he trusted to believe in him and enjoy his company of their own accord. They were genuine friends, and Darkstalker considered a party boring because Moonwatcher did not attend. She believed that he was good, and that he wanted the most peaceful future for Pyrrhia, and she believed wholeheartedly that he would never kill her. He appeared genuinely wounded when she began using skyfire and protection spells against his magic. She flinches whenever she hears his name, although at one point they were good friends and she was saddened by the idea of him lying to her.

While visiting Peacemaker, Moon always found it both sad and relieving that the young dragonet showed no signs of Darkstalker in him. After Darkstalker's defeat, Moon blamed herself for Darkstalker's rise to power, believing she had seen too much good in him and not enough of the bad.

### Kinkajou

Kinkajou is Moon's best friend and has been shown to care much about her. Clay thought Moon and Kinkajou were a good match, though Moon initially could not see any similarities between her and the bubbly RainWing. Moon was distraught when Kinkajou was severely injured by a mysterious companion of Scarlet's (Chameleon, in his NightWing form, Shapeshifter), showing the strong bond between them. At first, Moon was put off by Kinkajou's energetic thoughts and actions, but realized that Kinkajou really did care about her. After Kinkajou found out that Moonwatcher could read minds, she felt like her privacy was invaded majorly, and did not trust Moonwatcher for a short period of time. But after the shock wore off, Kinkajou and Moonwatcher were best friends again. She was visibly happy when she told Qibli that Kinkajou was unharmed.

### Qibli

If it were up to Qibli, he would spend every day of his life flying with Moon. He recognizes subtle things about her, and thinks about what she would do when he needs motivation. Everything is less awful for him when he is with her, and he often wishes that she were by his side. When Moon was in danger, he leaped aside to protect her with his wings, and he looks at Moon like he loves her. When Qibli spoke about how free he thought Possibility was, Moon looked at him like he made sense. When Moonwatcher said that she was unsure if anyone would want to come with her to fulfill the Jade Mountain Prophecy, Qibli waved a wing at himself as though it were obvious. When Winter told Moon he should have nothing to do with her, Qibli sounded genuinely angry. He feels a need to know whether or not she is safe, and during his time away from her, he felt like he was a broken vase and she was the piece that would fit him all back together. He once thought that his ideal future would be as a loyal advisor to Thorn, but as he continued thinking about it, Moon appeared in the vision alongside him as his partner. He wants to make her smile, and she makes him happier than he has ever felt before. For Qibli, being around Moonwatcher feels like being on a team with someone who works with him and makes his own brain work better. He once stated that he would be there for Moon anytime she needed him, and thought that if Moon ever died, it would kill him as well. She often turns to him for physical comfort, and he is considerate of her needs. Darkstalker once mentioned that Qibli could never stay away from Moonwatcher for long. In the epilogue of Darkness of Dragons, Moon asked Qibli if they could try 'being together' and Qibli said yes. Luna guessed that Qibli was 'her Swordtail' from the way they looked at each other, and the fact that they slept side by side every night on the trip to Pantala.

### Secretkeeper

Secretkeeper is Moonwatcher's mother and the first dragon to find out about her daughter's powers. Secretkeeper hid Moon in the rainforest while she was still in her egg. Moonwatcher loves her mother very much and wanted to stay with her instead of going to school. She often visits Secretkeeper in the rainforest.In *Talons of Power*, when Moonwatcher journeyed to the Rainforest Kingdom, she was overjoyed to meet her mother again and flew into her arms.

### Sora

Upon meeting her, Moonwatcher recognized the same tremors of anxiety as she felt and even considered making friends with her. Sora had the same paralyzing anxiety that Moon had and Moon wanted to use her powers to help her feel better. After realizing that Icicle was after Sora, Moonwatcher went to warn Sora, despite knowing that Sora had been who had set off the bomb. Moon came to discover that she was not as much like Sora as she originally though she was; though both were shy and timid, Moonwatcher was not as mentally fragile as Sora. Before Sora left, Moonwatcher reassured to her that no one was thinking about her as much as she thought they did.

### Sunny

Moonwatcher already had a liking for Sunny and Starflight as they visited in the rainforest. She liked how their thoughts matched what they said and did. Sunny was the first of the Jade Mountain Academy staff that Moonwatcher confessed the truth about her prophecy and mind-reading powers to. Sunny was kind and grateful towards Moonwatcher after she told her.

### Turtle

Moonwatcher initially did not trust Turtle as he had his skyfire, which made his mind a quiet fuzz to her. Moonwatcher thought Turtle might have something sinister in him, as she had a vision of him fighting Anemone when she first saw him. As time passes, she sees him as more and more of a friend and learns to trust him.

After the cave explosion and Moonwatcher's reveal of her powers, she visited the underwater lake with Turtle. He removed the dragonflame seedpod from her shoulder, and she wondered if he would let her drown if she fainted. He then told her to, "Go ahead and try." This referred to flying, but Moonwatcher wondered if he was offering her an escape as well. She thinks that she does not know him and believes he is interesting despite what he says to the contrary.

In *Escaping Peril*, she defended him against others that how he used his power should be decided by him and him alone. When Turtle used his animus power to get Darkstalker's scroll from Chameleon, she was worried about his soul, but he shrugged them off as he said that the "tiniest of evil" was in him. Moon believes he is a good brother as he was willing to travel to the ends of Pyrrhia to protect Anemone, despite Turtle's protests. In *Darkness of Dragons*, Darkstalker mentions that Moonwatcher was fond of Turtle and Kinkajou, which made him reluctant to kill either of them. She worries about his soul being affected by animus magic.

### Winter

Moonwatcher is one of Winter's closest friends, and Winter is in love with her. Moonwatcher once stated that she would never be Winter's enemy, no matter what he said. She wanted Winter to come with her to solve the Jade Mountain Prophecy, and her face crumbled into disappointment when he refused. Since Winter began wearing skyfire, it is a lot easier for Moonwatcher to talk to him, although Moonwatcher sometimes has to remind him not to order her around and to attempt to converse with her rationally instead of yelling. Winter sometimes jokes with Moonwatcher, but he feels a twisting feeling in his chest when he thinks about her, and hearing her say his name was described to be like a spell that runs warmth through his bones. Winter had never met anyone who seemed to be as interested in scavengers as he was until he met Moonwatcher. She is determined to support Winter whether he wants her help or not, and Winter has had quiet thoughts about how Moonwatcher is different from the other NightWings, and perhaps different than most dragons in Pyrrhia. His expression while looking at her once was soulful and full of tortured longing. He quite likes her, and misses her dearly after moving to Sanctuary.

Winter once thought that where Narwhal and Tundra saw Winter as nothing more than a gray lump of ice, Moonwatcher saw dazzling mountain peaks, and she regards him as one of the best dragons in Pyrrhia. Moonwatcher finds Winter's mind to be very confusing, but Moonwatcher regards Winter as someone who can think bigger than the things that affect him personally. She trusts Winter and thinks that he is honorable and brave, and Winter felt a rush of gratitude for her understanding of how important rescuing Hailstorm was to him. Winter often cannot tell when Moonwatcher is joking, but he looks at her in a loving way, and felt hollowed out when he pictured her and Qibli together. He was afraid of what he might say to her alone in the dark. Winter's heart told him to rescue Moonwatcher when their group was attacked by Shapeshifter, and while he initially felt guilty about being Moonwatcher's friend under the judgement of Hailstorm, he felt a second wave of guilt after realizing how much Moonwatcher had done to help him. After Narwhal and Tundra intended for Winter to die during the Diamond Trial, he thought that Moonwatcher would never have done something like that to him, and he becomes his best self around her.

However, Winter acted harshly and explosively angry and caused Moonwatcher to flare up during their argument about Darkstalker; Qibli wondered how he could yell at Moonwatcher the way he did, if he truly loved her, and Kinkajou admitted that he had been mean towards her when he yelled at her or did not believe in her. When Moonwatcher chose Qibli over Winter, he was heartbroken and wondered how long it would take his heart to heal.
