Spyro

Spyro is one of the major characters of the *Adventures of Tirzah series*. He's the latest of a prophecy of purple dragons that can wield almost every single known element in the worlds. He is also the leader of the Friendship Patrol and a member of the Heroes of Friendship. He wields the Element of Leadership, which was created by the Element of Abstinence. He's voiced by Josh Keaton.

## Appearance

Spyro has a light purple scale pattern with orange horns, wings, underbelly and spine. His eyes were originally a light purple, but were turned into a ruby red after he and Cynder battled the Dark Master, Malefor. In the *Adventures of Tirzah series*, Spyro wears a collar-like necklace that holds the Leadership Stone, with purple gems decorated all around the edges.

## Personality

Spyro can be brash and cocky, but also humble and caring. He is a born leader and knows how to use each of his teammates strengths and weaknesses to their advantage. He can also be a little hot-headed and short-tempered when the odds begin to look unfavorable or the forces of Dark Magic seem to have the upper-hand. No matter what though, Spyro will always do his best to lead his friends and family in saving the day and protecting the fate of the worlds.

## Story

### Before Adventures of Tirzah

Before the current events of the *Adventures of Tirzah series*, the Dark Master, Malefor, attacked the Old Dragon Temple. Desperately, the Dragon Elder, Ignitus, sent the egg of the prophesied purple dragon down a river, where it was discovered by a family of dragonflies. They named the newborn dragon Spyro and raised him alongside their son, Sparx, who was born on the same day. One day, while the two were playing hide-and-seek, Sparx was captured by forces of Malefor and Spyro ended up saving him when after he discovered that he had fire breath. Sparx's parents told Spyro the truth, which made him set off to discover his past. Spyro and Sparx encounter Ignitus, who tells them all about what happened: after the temple was attacked, a war broke out and a dragon named Cynder had captured the other three Elder Dragons. Spyro became determined to save them and, along with Sparx, saved the other three Elders: Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador. Unfortunately, Cynder had found the two and ended up capturing Ignitus as he was attempting to save them. Spyro and Sparx worked together to find and Ignitus, save him, and learned about Cynder's past. Like Spyro, Cynder was a survivor of the attack on the Dragon Temple and was stolen as an egg to serve Malefor. With the newfound knowledge, the two followed Cynder and saved her from the control of Malefor. However, the battle between the two drained Spyro of his powers. Not long after, Cynder told the two boys that she was leaving as she felt like she didn't belong because of her past. The two are told by Ignitus to look for her and eventually encountered her after they get captured by pirates. However, she gets captured by Malefor's forces again. Spyro and Sparx escape from the pirates and eventually find Cynder again. Spyro battles the leader of Malefor's forces, Gaul, and gets knocked into a stream of Dark Magic in the process, becoming Dark Spyro. He kills Gaul and nearly attacks Sparx and Cynder, but was knocked out of the beam by Cynder. The three friends attempt to escape, but are then trapped in the caving area. Spyro uses his powers to encase them in an orange gem, where they remain for the next three years. The group is then found and released by Malefor's forces. They luckily manege to escape and find the Elder Dragons, where they learn that Malefor is attempting to destroy the world. Ignitus takes Spyro and Cynder with him to face Malefor, sacrificing his life for them in the process. Spyro nearly turns into Dark Spyro in grief, but Cynder helps him turn back to normal. Eventually, the two face off against and defeat Malefor. During the process, he ignites the end of the world, but Spyro uses his powers to restore it. He tries to tell Cynder to escape, but she tells him that she won't leave and that she loves him. The worlds are restored and the two meet back up with Sparx. Due to the battle between Cynder and him and Malefor, Spyro's eyes had turned from a light purple to a bright red. After exploring and battling other bad guys in the area, the three were discovered by Master Eon, who let the trio into a special team called the Skylanders, with Spyro eventually becoming their leader. Not long after, his little brother, Spry, was born and Cynder became his mate.
