## Relationships

### Cleo Akura

They both see each other as a sister as they slowly make a bond in the series after Gryphon's debut. She possibly has a crush on Cleo. She desires to meet a live human as much as they are friends now. After she agrees to stop Jax (Her brother) from taking over the world, She mostly spends time strengthening their bond. In conclusion, Their friendship is quite unbreakable than what was their imperceptible friendship before.

### Krys Sylva

As his little sister, She is destined to protect him, and serve him although he wants to do the same for her. They're the nice siblings of their family. Jax on the other hand is the evil sibling.

Along with that, Gryphon likes Krys more than Cleo. She loves him, But can't be in a relationship with him because Krys is her brother.

### Robyn Arka

Gryphon can sometimes see Robyn as another sister. (continue here)

### Glory

Glory is also one of Clay's close friends. He describes her as "smart and beautiful," and feels bad about thinking that Glory was asleep when she was displayed as "artwork." It is mentioned that Clay would often give her some gifts. When Glory comes into view after Kestrel says she's going to kill her, Clay twines his tail with hers. When Glory goes missing, Clay is very worried about her (and goes to save her). In *Escaping Peril*, he was devastated when he believed she'd been killed by Scarlet.

### Peril

Clay befriended Peril while trapped in the SkyWing arena by Queen Scarlet. They became friends quickly and Peril developed feelings for him because he was the only dragon that liked her the way she was. After Clay fights Fjord, Peril brings hot mud to treat his scratches and wounds. He soon finds out that Scarlet ordered Peril not to talk to him, but she defies those orders. Peril seemed jealous of Clay's other friends because she wanted Clay to herself; when she helps the dragonets escape and later betrays them, Clay touches her and discovers that he's immune to her firescales. This helps when he fights Peril against his will in the arena, leaving Peril to admit that she wanted to save him after Kestrel and for him to like her more than the other dragonets. Clay says he does not want to hurt her, but Peril says they have to fight.

Their fight ends after Queen Scarlet is sprayed with Glory's venom, and they escape in the ensuing chaos. Glory says Peril might be the missing SkyWing, but that is proved false. Peril chose to stay behind and distract the other SkyWings from the escaping dragonets, where she states that's all she's good for. But then Clay delivers the award-winning line when he finally gets it, saying that it's not all she's good for and giving her a dragon equivalent of a hug. Peril leaves but sees the dragonets again in *The Brightest Night* and *Moon Rising*. Peril saves Clay's life in the fifth book by burning out the dragonbite viper's venom in his thigh. In the sixth book, he invites her to the Jade Mountain Academy. In *Talons of Power*, Qibli tells Peril that Clay likes her but just doesn't know what to do about it, most likely reflecting on his situation with Moon. In *Darkness of Dragons*, Peril and Clay go flying together. Clay sees the good in Peril even when she herself does not.

### Siblings

Clay has six siblings: Reed, Marsh, Crane, Pheasant, Sora, and Umber. He met them all (except Crane) when Clay and Glory - who was disguised as a MudWing - went to go meet his mother. Crane had died in the sibling's first battle, between Burn's and Blaze's forces, before Clay came back. If his egg was not taken by the Talons of Peace, Clay would have been the troop's bigwings. In Clay's absence, Reed became the bigwings. He did ask if Clay wanted to be their bigwings, but Clay turned Reed's offer down, knowing that Reed would do a much better job, having grown up with MudWings and having the complete trust and loyalty of all their siblings. When Starflight used his dreamvisitor, he saw Clay dream about his siblings. Starflight said that Clay's siblings were, "More dragons we have to save in this war." Clay seemed shocked and saddened when Sora set a dragonflame cactus off in the school.

### Students

Clay cares about the students at Jade Mountain Academy and their safety. He is regarded as a hero among them due to his limp caused by his wound from the dragonbite viper. He is good at defusing arguments between students and is shown to take their suggestions, such as when Tamarin and Peregrine suggest herbs and healing class. He has also claimed that he tries to write as little as possible, due to him not being very good at spelling, as he mentioned to Peril in *Darkness of Dragons*.
