Micah

**Micah Brady** is a young Aerian boy who is one of Tonoki's closest friends. Generally speaking, Micah is an upbeat and easily excitable individual. He was once considered to be Tonoki's best friend. Similarly to Tonoki, Micah had secretly been interested in the history of dragons, but wanted nothing to do with Luna. Upon the kingdom's conflict being resolved, Micah openly expressed his interest in dragons, and even became friends with dragon tamers.

## Appearance

Micah is a somewhat tall fair-skinned boy with messy short blond hair, and brown eyes. His light green wings are rather sleek in comparison to most other Aerians. He usually wears a white shirt or a gray flannel, and cargo shorts. The armor he wears is usually a pair of brown shoulder pads that crisscross across his chest. His shoes are similar to Tonoki's, being boots that go about halfway up to his knee, but they are green and white instead of blue and gray. Micah usually has a friendly smile on his face, and is almost never frowning. His dislike for emotional confrontation hides behind his bright expression.

## Personality

As most Aerians do, Micah initially has a distaste for the Lunians, seeing them as cruel creatures of the night. Although he has claimed to be jealous of Tonoki's rank as a prince, he genuinely doesn't mind it, and is happy for his friend. Micah likes to keep everyone in a good mood, as dealing with serious or deep emotions is his main weakness. Micah is a very hands-on type of guy, often preferring to speak through actions rather than words. He cherishes adventuring and learning, which is partially why he was so quick to find himself trusting the Lunians after the battles with Monokai. As a dragon tamer, his personality doesn't change much outside of being less quick to judge others.

## Story

### The Silver Dragon

In the first book, Micah appears as Tonoki's best friend alongside their other friends, Selena and Ray. The four Aerian teens play a few games, pretending to defeat Lunian soldiers. Micah is clearly the most outgoing and humorous of the group. After Tonoki goes missing, Micah is extremely worried that he's being tortured in Luna. When Tonoki returns to the kingdom, Micah sticks close to his best bud, constantly checking if he's okay, and asking him how he's feeling. Tonoki tells Micah in private the truth about the Lunians, saying that he doesn't plan to stay in the kingdom because Monokai is secretly plotting something evil. Micah lies to Tonoki out of fear, saying his secret is safe, and escorts him across the kingdom before betraying him. As the guards approach the pair, Tonoki flees, with Micah chasing after him in denial. Micah does not appear again until the battle with Monokai. He is on the frontlines, battling several Lunians before starting to hold back after seeing how loyal Tonoki has become towards his supposed enemy. After the battle is over, Micah is the first to forgive Tonoki.

### Tonoki and Orion

Micah briefly appears in the first few chapters where Tonoki and Gray begin to establish the new laws of the kingdom. He is one of the first Aerians to pioneer dragon taming among the winged. He makes quick friends with prince Dragonberry himself, and doesn't have much more importance through the rest of the book. Orion considers Micah to be a strong warrior, but doesn't have much of an opinion on him otherwise.

### King Kyuuri

Micah appears a couple of times in the book, but mostly just to talk to Tonoki and Dragonberry about dragons. He is one of the few that does not trust Kyuuri, even after Tonoki attempts to reassure the kingdom he can be trusted. Micah's final appearance is at Tonoki's funeral. He gives a short speech about him, and is deeply upset by his death.
