## Description

Starflight has midnight-black scales with glints of purple and deep blue in them. The silver scales on the underside of his black wings spray outward, like a splash of water, similar to his father's, Mastermind. He has a black snout and claws, as well as sinewy shoulders and a worried snout. The space between his wings is narrow, and he is not very burly. He wears a white blindfold over his very dark green eyes, and has long burn scars streaking across his scales and snout.

## Personality

Starflight is often tentative, sensible, a know-it-all, massively annoying, lofty, overly cautious, lecturing, alarmed, anxious, indignant, worried, and nervous. However, he is determined and is willing to fight for his students. He is shown to have a humorous side, as seen when he wanted to take a rubbery chewy fruit that gets stuck in your teeth for Tsunami. Moonwatcher described his thoughts as constantly busy, ticking through all the things he needed to do. He frets and complains often. After he was temporarily kidnapped by Morrowseer, he tried to be bossy towards his friends, although he only wanted to keep them all safe by doing so. He often overthinks and worries so much that he ends up not doing anything at all, and can sulk when he is upset. However, he is a useful companion, as he has valuable information such as geography and flight patterns constantly on his mind. Reading is his specialty, and he is very smart but totally unreliable, and terrified of the world, despite him wanting to be brave and helpful. Glory said he "shrieks like a tiny scavenger". He tries to know everything so that he may be useful, but he is not a good fighter, and he is not brave. He is talented at memorizing things and repeating those facts over and over, even when no one seems to be listening. He will easily subside when argued with.

## 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. In *The Dark Secret*, Clay shielded Starflight with his fireproof scales from the fire coming from the volcanic explosion, saving him from getting horribly burned or even killed. However, he was not fast enough to save Starflight's eyes from being burned, rendering Starflight blind. The two also share a teasing relationship at times, as shown when Starflight once used Clay as a testing object by shoving fruits in front of Clay's snout while he dreamed. Clay mentions that he sees Starflight giving him lectures in his dreams. In *Escaping Peril* Starflight mentions Peril's crush on Clay, which Clay denies.

### Farsight

When Starflight's egg was still on the NightWing island, Farsight did not care about anything but his egg. She would refuse to leave the egg, insisting that they were probably her last moments with her dragonet. Farsight also believed that Starflight would be female. Farsight was reluctant to give Starflight to Morrowseer.

### Fatespeaker

In *The Dark Secret*, Fatespeaker and Starflight become close friends. When he is chased by Ochre and Flame, she is in the cave right next to his hiding spot and promised that she was not going to kill him. They snuck away to talk to Queen Battlewinner and figured out her secret together. Fatespeaker chose Starflight to do this, making it seem like she trusts him. Starflight likes Fatespeaker better than all the other NightWings. Fatespeaker has a crush on him but he currently likes her as a friend, as when Starflight is confessing to Sunny he glances at Fatespeaker to think about how his feelings for her could never be the same as his affection towards Sunny. Even if Starflight's feelings are not romantic, the two are still good friends.

### Fierceteeth

Fierceteeth is Starflight's older half-sister. Fierceteeth views him as sappy, tragic, and disappointing; however, she believes she would show mercy towards him if she ever became queen of the NightWings.

### 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 nevertheless seems to care about him. They seem to trust each other since they have known each other since their hatching day. Starflight seems to admire Glory's way of remembering things easily and making plans. This is demonstrated when Starflight used the dreamvisitor to appear in her dreams, and while the other dragonets believed that Starflight was just a part of their dream, Glory immediately knew that he had found a dreamvisitor. In *The Dark Secret*, they work together to unite the RainWings and the NightWings along with the help of the dragonets.

### Kestrel

Starflight was afraid of Kestrel and her short temper. He would hide in the shadows if the SkyWing was nearby, and would often get burned by Kestrel just like all the other dragonets. He did, however, stand up to her by helping Sunny melt the chains Kestrel put on Tsunami.

### Mastermind

Starflight shares many traits with his father, including scale patterns and extreme intelligence. At first, Starflight wanted to have a good relationship working with his father. But, when he learned what Mastermind was doing to the RainWings, he felt horrified. He still helped his father but was wary of him. Mastermind was very impressed with Starflight and wanted him to be his assistant. After *The Dark Secret*, Mastermind was put into prison and Starflight wanted little to do with him after the incident with the RainWings. It is unknown how Mastermind currently feels about this, or if he even knows how Starflight feels about him.

### Morrowseer

Starflight seemed to be terrified of the larger NightWing, as shown when he "froze like a stalagmite" when Morrowseer first visited the dragonets under the mountain. During *The Dark Secret*, Starflight did his best to impress Morrowseer and was very scared of Morrowseer exposing him as not a real NightWing due to his lack of powers. Morrowseer hated Starflight for being "weak" and a "spineless failure."

### Peril

Starflight fears Peril, and refused to speak to her when tethered to his rock spire in *The Dragonet Prophecy*. Later, though, when the dragonets were trapped by a wall of fire, Starflight addressed Peril, asking her if she was hurt by fire, but this may have been out of desperation since if they did not escape, he would be forced to battle in the SkyWing arena. When she answers, he comes up with the idea of Peril moving the black rocks in order for the dragonets to escape. During the time when she was out of earshot, he and Tsunami point out to Clay of her crush on him. Peril lost Starflight's trust when she betrayed the dragonets to Queen Scarlet. However, by the end of *The Brightest Night*, he feels slightly indebted to her for saving Clay's life. In *Escaping Peril*, that seems to have changed, as he was worried he was going to wake up on fire one day. He also was thinking about finding a scroll about sociopaths, which might mean that he thinks Peril is one. He also gets uncomfortable when he senses Peril near his scrolls. Regardless of his personal opinion of her, he is still aware of Peril's crush on Clay and tolerates her at Jade Mountain Academy as long as she stays out of the library.

### Sunny

Starflight is thought to admire Sunny's joyful personality but did not 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. In the fourth book, he is directly stated throughout the story to be in love with Sunny, and has been his whole life. He finally admits it to her, but in *The Brightest Night*, it is shown that Sunny is unclear and confused about how she loves Starflight. At the end of *The Brightest Night*, Sunny ultimately decides that she loves him as a brother, which he reluctantly accepts. Starflight also mentally pleads to Sunny that she does not judge him for the terrible things that the NightWings have done. He is comforting and reassuring towards her, and she often feels pity towards him when he is ignored by the other dragonets. When he became too tired to carry her through the ocean when the dragonets visited the Kingdom of the Sea, he seemed disappointed to be deprived of her contact. He worries about her safety, and she believes in his ability to know everything and to be right.

### Tsunami

Tsunami and Starflight have known each other since hatching. Like the other dragonets (with the exception of Sunny), she is annoyed by Starflight's lectures and she often shushes him. 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. Tsunami does not particularly like taking orders from him, but when she is not annoyed with Starflight, she mainly feels sorry for him.
