'Anemone' is a female SeaWing dragonet princess who was introduced in The Lost Heir. She is the daughter of
Queen Coral and Gill|King Gill. She was Animus
enchantments#Dragons|enchanted by her brother Turtle during the Talons
of Power ceremony to become an animus. She currently attends Jade
Mountain Academy as a member of the Silver Winglet and is in a
relationship with Tamarin.

## Description

Anemone has pale blue and white-pink scales, like the inside of a shell,
with hints of light pink along her wings, ears, and horns, resembling
the dolphins that live in the Kingdom of the Sea. She has pearly, tiny,
pale, pink-tinted wings with patterns of webbed talonprints patterning
her underside. She wears a Animus enchantments|bracelet of pale pink
pearls around one of her wrists, enchanted to keep her from feeling
superior and also to keep her soul healthy. She has a clear,
high-pitched voice, and is small, from afar appearing a pale, odd,
whitish-pinkish-blue-gray dragon. She also has large, light blue eyes
and tiny, light talonprints. She is slightly smaller than Turtle and
about the same size as Kinkajou.

## Personality

Anemone is logical, prim, snooty, delicate, and regal. She is often
huffy, haughty, bossy, fierce, and she enjoys disobeying orders. After
being released from her harness, she took on a more stubborn and
petulant personality, although she had always been somewhat of a brat
towards other dragons. At the academy, she was usually funny and happy;
though, her jokes usually had darker undertones. She had imperious
certainty that she deserved all of her "princess privilege", and she
allowed her cave in Jade Mountain Academy to become quite a mess. She is
comfortable with casually scattering her jewelry around as she is not
used to living without servants to clean up for her. She looks at others
as though examining them through jeweler's glass, studying all of their
flaws, and she is confident about her appearance. She becomes
embarrassed when she does not act bravely.

While Anemone was proud of her powers, she felt hopeless about her fate,
believing that she was destined to go insane. However, the soul reader
revealed that Anemone was much more good than Turtle and his friends had
feared, and she enchanted a bracelet to further protect herself from her
magic. Following the inception of the jewelry, her feelings of
superiority and invincibility disappeared, and she has been behaving
younger and lighter, and now she often giggles and teases her friends.
She even donated half of her treasure to help build Sanctuary.

Peril thought that she seemed to be a shower of bright orange sparks on
the inside, while Tsunami described her to have Coral's good qualities,
but with a stronger ability to think for herself. She was demanding and
incessant with Qibli when he borrowed her enchanted weather bracelets.

## Biography

left
Pre-Series
Anemone grew up in the
Kingdom of the Sea, where she was tied to Queen Coral with a harness
that prevented her from going anywhere on her own. While her egg was
incubating, her mother stayed with it until the day that she hatched.
Anemone was tutored by Whirlpool on how to use her magic to help Queen
Coral and Blister win the War of SandWing Succession. Blister wanted to
use Anemone's magic to kill Burn in order to make the war easier to win.

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Lost Heir

When Tsunami first arrived in the Kingdom of the Sea, she took her
sister's name as an enemy instead of Anemone. After her dragonets of
destiny|friends were sent away to be locked up in one of Coral's caves,
Tsunami expressed that she wanted to talk to her mother alone. Coral
sent her guards away, but Tsunami commented on the presence of her
younger sister and asked for her to be removed from the conversation as
well. The queen refused, as she had to keep the dragonet at her side by
"watching her every minute," as Anemone irritably
stated.File:43.png|thumb|200px|left|Anemone using animus magic

Later, when their mother was asleep, Anemone woke Tsunami up so that
they could converse. Tsunami was surprised to hear that Anemone wanted
to talk to her, since they were both heirs and would likely become
rivals at some point, but this worry soon subsided. Anemone elaborated
on the purpose her harness had and why she had to wear it. She also told
Tsunami that she would probably have to marry Whirlpool, a member of
Coral's SeaWing Council|council.

Tsunami also later saw Anemone practicing her animus magic with
Whirlpool, as Blister and Coral intended to use her to help their side
win the war.File:Mush-1.png|thumb|200px|Anemone killing Whirlpool They
referred to Anemone as their "secret weapon," but Anemone later
speculated that Whirlpool may have instructed her to "practice" with her
animus magic to make her go insane and kill her mother. Later on,
Anemone used her powers to enchant a spear to bring them the mysterious
SeaWing assassin who had tried to kill Tsunami in the tunnel. The
assailant turned out to be Whirlpool, and she used the spear to push him
into the pool of electric eels surrounding the dragonets, where he was
subsequently electrocuted to death.

left The Hidden Kingdom

When Glory first discovered the NightWing tunnels and that
they were created with animus magic, she thought back to Anemone in the
Kingdom of the Sea, and the danger of being an animus dragon.

left The Dark Secret
When Starflight dreamvisited Tsunami, he witnessed Anemone attacking
Gill.

left The Brightest Night

While discussing plans on how to stop the war, Starflight
suggested using animus magic, mentioning Blister's plan to use Anemone.
Tsunami snapped at Starflight and stated that they were not going to
make Anemone use any more animus magic. Tsunami later mentioned that she
wanted to dreamvisit Anemone and some other SeaWings. In the epilogue,
when the dragonets were discussing who should attend their new school,
Tsunami suggested that Anemone and Auklet could attend as students.

-----

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Moon Rising

Anemone had convinced her mother to allow her to attend Jade Mountain
Academy as part of the Silver Winglet. Moonwatcher first saw Anemone
arriving at the academy with Turtle, Tsunami, Coral, and Auklet. When
Moon looks at Turtle, she receives a vision of the SeaWing prince
pinning Anemone to the sand as she writhed in pain. Later, Anemone
appeared in the prey center, asking a NightWing named Bigtail for a
large fish that he had grabbed. Clay intervened and explained that
whoever grabbed the food first gets to eat it, much to Anemone's
disapproval. Sighing, she stormed out of the prey center with Ostrich, who was casting woeful hungry looks at the fish behind
them. After the tragic explosion in the history cave, Anemone thought
angrily that she could have easily solved the mystery if Tsunami had not
been so worried about her power.

left Winter Turning

In the epilogue, Anemone, Pike, Turtle, and a few other SeaWing
dragonets were swimming in one of the underground lakes of Jade
Mountain. She was doing flips and diving in the water, enjoying being
free of her harness. She thought of how, if Coral ever came to Jade
Mountain to take her home, she would have to be under her mother's watch
again. With a fierce certainty, Anemone thought, "But I won't. I won't.
I might be the most powerful dragon in the world, and if she didn't
learn that from what I did to Whirlpool, I can teach her some other
way." Followed by, "The spell on Auklet's harness should keep her away
from me, though."

left Escaping Peril

In the epilogue, she was worried about the earthquake that Darkstalker
had caused when he was released. When Starflight asked her what was
wrong, she replied in barely a whisper that "it felt like someone
slithering over my grave."

left Talons of Power
While Tamarin was staying on the dry stone, Anemone and Pike were
swimming in one of Jade Mountain's underground lakes. Turtle, however,
dove into the cave from the open roof above, urgently pleading for
Anemone to go into hiding, as Darkstalker had escaped his Agate
Mountain|underground prison with unknown intentions. Instead of growing
fearful, she jumped in excitement, eager to meet another animus dragon.

When Darkstalker was being "attacked" by two young NightWing students,
Anemone swooped above all of them, demonstrating her power by showing
off two beaten copper bracelets that controlled the weather; the sky
flashed with unusual flickers of lightning and was full of grey clouds
that were heavy with rain. When Tsunami tried to fly up to her sister,
Anemone summoned a gust of wind that spiraled Tsunami away from her and
held her in place. Darkstalker then invited Anemone to land beside him
and talk; they walked into the main entrance cave while the clouds
finally released their rain behind them. Later, Darkstalker enchanted a
silver necklace that was meant to save her soul from the menacing
effects of animus magic.

Throughout the book, Anemone kept close to Darkstalker. She saw him as a
sort of mentor, looking to him for guidance. Darkstalker took this very
lightheartedly, taking advantage of her actions and advising her that
she should run all her spells by him before she cast them, so he could
help her find the best possible enchantment for each spell. She usually
sat beside Darkstalker with her chin high, often being an errand runner
or helper to Darkstalker.

When Moonwatcher had a vision of Sunny's father, Stonemover, dead, she,
Darkstalker, Turtle, Anemone, and Mindreader quickly went to
Stonemover's cave. When they arrived, Stonemover was in a pitiful
condition — blood was seeping from his neck, and he was stiller than
usual. When Darkstalker frustratedly stated that he would chase down the
killer himself if the tunnels were larger, Anemone immediately
volunteered. She grabbed a prey bone on the floor and enchanted it to
lead her to Stonemover's killer. The dragon brought in was Flame,
prodded forward by the same prey bone. After Stonemover begged
Darkstalker to take off the healing spell he gave him, Darkstalker
sighed and returned his scales to their normal, petrified state. He then
turned to Flame, enchanting his library card to turn into a chain that
bolted him to the floor as punishment.

When Darkstalker brought up the concept of going to the Rainforest
Kingdom to meet his lost tribe, Anemone, along with a few other students
from Jade Mountain, agreed to travel with him, including Turtle. There,
Anemone irritatedly agreed to Turtle's request for animus magic. When
she heard that it was to wake Kinkajou from her coma, Anemone
immediately started teasing Turtle for his crush on Kinkajou. At the
RainWing healer's pavilion|healer's pavilion, Anemone added a love spell
along with the waking spell, enchanting the RainWing so that she would
love Turtle as much as he loves her, much to Turtle's dismay.

Anemone was constantly shown by Darkstalker's side throughout his
journey through the Rainforest Kingdom and the lost city of night, often
ignoring Turtle's advice on her soul.

She also quickly grew jealous of Darkstalker's focus on Moonwatcher,
wanting the attention to herself instead. In the lost city of night,
Anemone asked Darkstalker where she got to stay. He replied that she
gets to stay in Fathom's room, which had dried and rotted over the
years, while Moon gets to stay anywhere she wants. Anemone then
forcefully tried distracting Darkstalker in order to make Moon clean
Fathom's room, though Darkstalker intervened to accuse her that she is
no different from her ancestor after all. Anemone was dismayed, deciding
to fly back home in attempt to murder her mother, as Darkstalker had
ordered.

Turtle followed her, and she went back to the Island Palace. There,
Turtle has a flashback where it was revealed that he made her an animus
to hide his identity. Back in reality, Anemone searched for something
that Whirlpool had left for her, which turned out to be a dagger. She
darkly suggested using it to kill off any threats, such as Coral,
Auklet, Tsunami, Moon, and Kinkajou. Turtle attacked her, as she seemed
to have lost her soul. Moon's vision of Turtle pinning down Anemone
finally came true — an animus battle ensued, both using their powers to
overcome the other. Finally, Turtle enchanted seaweed to bind Anemone's
mouth, preventing her from casting any more spells. They had a
conversation where Turtle told Anemone that he made her an animus, and
Anemone said that she felt herself becoming evil. However, Darkstalker,
with the help of the spell that told him animus magic was being used,
casted a spell that brought every current animus dragon in Pyrrhia to
his throne room. There, Darkstalker suggested using Anemone and
Stonemover to test his theories about animus magic, and he mentioned
that not too many more spells would turn Anemone completely evil. Then,
when Kinkajou was summoned and Darkstalker's attention was on her,
Turtle gave Anemone his hiding stick and told her to fly away as fast as
she could. Turtle threw the stick at her, and Anemone caught it, jumping
out the window.

left
Darkness of Dragons
Qibli and
Winter, after leaving Thorn's SandWing stronghold|palace, discovered
Anemone resting by an oasis while flying over the Kingdom of
Sand|desert. Winter was wary of her, as the last time they had seen her
she was with Darkstalker. Qibli decided to talk to her anyway, as she
was by herself. When Qibli approached her, he quickly realized that she
could not speak. He then noticed that she was holding Turtle's stick and
he accused her of stealing it. She denied stealing the stick by scowling
at him, and he asked her why she could not talk. He then discovered a
spell put on her by Darkstalker. After she put on the enchanted earring
Qibli offered her, she expressed immense relief after realizing the
spell no longer affected her. After Anemone reluctantly allowed Qibli to
continue wearing her enchanted weather bracelets, the trio took off
towards the Night Kingdom. On their way there, Anemone took the time to
explain what had happened since she last saw Winter and Qibli. After
they entered the palace through Anemone's room, Qibli prompted Anemone
to take a nap, which she reluctantly accepted.

Anemone reappeared again after Qibli and Winter's fight and offered a
piece of skyfire to Moonwatcher. Anemone stated that she was going to
rescue Turtle, which enraged Kinkajou and the both of them left to free
Turtle. Qibli later found Anemone and Kinkajou in Turtle's prison cell,
where they had gotten themselves trapped with Turtle by accident. After
they freed Turtle and convinced him to take one of Qibli's enchanted
earrings, they all took off towards Jade Mountain.

During the Battle of Jade Mountain|battle of the NightWings and
IceWings, she enchanted a piece of moss to make the NightWings think
Darkstalker was telling them to retreat. When this plan failed, she
enchanted Qibli's library card, at Qibli's suggestion, to make all of
the NightWings and IceWings hear each other's thoughts and be teleported
back to their respective kingdoms. During this, she also removed the
love spell she had put on Kinkajou.

In the epilogue, it was revealed that Anemone had romantic feelings for
another student, Tamarin, often leaving flowers and gifts and offering
to read scrolls to her. It was also revealed that she cast a soul spell
on herself, with help from Qibli, to relieve the feelings of superiority
and selfishness that went along with having animus power, as well as to
protect her soul from the effects of using animus magic.

The Hive Queen
In the prologue,
Anemone was mentioned by Turtle, where he stated that she was working on
a spell for Tamarin to restore her sight. She and Turtle had started
comparing notes, as Turtle was also working on a similar spell for
Starflight. She had spoken to Turtle and told him that the spell did not
work, and she had not known why.

Jerboa III mentioned that animus magic was not working for
her or any other animus dragons in Pyrrhia, which included Anemone.

Anemone was
indirectly mentioned by Tsunami when she told Sundew that Pyrrhia had
four animus dragons. She also briefly appeared in Snowfall's vision as
Jerboa III, when Jerboa III was brought into Darkstalker's throne room.
Jerboa III had seen two SeaWings there: Anemone and Turtle.

### Field Guides

left
A Guide to the Dragon World
Anemone
was mentioned in Coral's letter to Starflight at the beginning of the
SeaWing chapter. In his letter to Turtle, Fin recalled how Turtle was
worried about the possibility of Anemone becoming evil from her animus
magic and had sent their brothers away from the Deep Palace to the Outer
Isles for their safety. Later in the chapter, Anemone's letter to
Tamarin testing out the new braille system Starflight made was featured.

Later in the SandWing chapter, Anemone was mentioned by Sunny in her
list of Burn's collection, thinking that Turtle or Anemone could help
identify the creatures from Burn's fish tank.

## Relationships

### Coral

Anemone considers her upbringing to have been awful, as she thinks of
Coral as crazily protective. She hates her harness and mentioned that
Coral cares for her too much, as she was not allowed to play with other
dragonets her age because of her royal status, including her brothers,
who Coral said "played too rough." When Anemone once complained about
her harness, Coral nearly got her a muzzle to match her harness, a
statement that Anemone recalled with a stab of venom in her voice.
Although Coral loves her, is proud and affectionate towards her, and
stayed by Anemone's egg until she hatched to ensure her safety, Anemone
is nervous to go against her mother's wishes.

### Darkstalker

Darkstalker acted as a mentor to Anemone, and she originally thought of
him as being wonderful and all-knowing. He encouraged her to use her
magic, but restricted her to only use it with his permission. Due to her
rebellious personality and hatred of Moonwatcher, he eventually sent her
off to the Kingdom of the Sea and suggested she kill her mother. When
she and the other animus dragons of Pyrrhia were summoned to
Darkstalker, he affirmed his view of her as a tool by suggesting he
could run tests on her and Stonemover to learn more about animus limits,
even suggesting driving her insane. Darkstalker secretly hated SeaWings,
specifically the royal SeaWing family, because of their ties to Fathom.
When speaking of Darkstalker during the Battle of Jade Mountain, her
eyes had a dangerous gleam.

### Kinkajou

Kinkajou dislikes the thought of accepting help from Anemone, and she is
often angry with her. Anemone is quite annoyed by Kinkajou. Anemone
believed she was helping Turtle with the love spell and called Kinkajou
"ungrateful" for not accepting it. Nonetheless, Anemone decided to take
the love spell off of Kinkajou anyway.

### Pike

Coral appointed him as Anemone's bodyguard, which she was unaware of.
She was not surprised that he did whatever she said, thinking that
everyone should act that way towards a princess. She gets quite
exasperated with his overprotectiveness, often telling him to keep quiet
or leave her alone. She even snuck out when he was asleep, not caring
about how much that would worry him. Anemone is teasing towards him.

### Tamarin

Anemone has a crush on Tamarin. She casually shows up everywhere Tamarin
is, offering to read her scrolls and leaving her small gifts of flowers
or unusual fruit. Before animus magic broke, Anemone was working on a
spell to restore Tamarin's eyesight. The two go on gardening dates
together.

### Tsunami

Tsunami is Anemone's older sister. At first, Tsunami was suspicious of
Anemone, but they soon became good friends and grew to love each other
as sisters. Anemone trusted Tsunami to save her from being forced to use
her animus magic by Blister and Coral. Her face became pale and anxious
after realizing that Tsunami might be in danger, and she edged closer to
her sister when she felt anxious. The thought of having to leave Anemone
made Tsunami upset.

### Turtle

Before the Talons of Power ceremony, Turtle had only ever seen his
sister from a distance. During the ceremony, he enchanted Anemone to
become an animus to draw attention to her and away from his own animus
abilities so he could keep his secret hidden, and to fulfill the biggest
hopes of his mother. He ended up regretting this greatly afterward. Upon
going to the Academy, they began to spend more time together, but
Anemone still treated him like another subject to order around. She
finally started paying attention to him when he began following her and
Darkstalker around, but the attention was not positive. After their duel
in the ruins of the Island Palace, and Turtle hiding her from
Darkstalker, he began to regard her more as his younger sister who he
should protect, and she seems to respect him as an older brother. She
once referred to him as a doofus, but he is reassuring and kind towards
her, and she is willing to listen to and react to how he feels.

### Whirlpool

Whirlpool was patronizing towards Anemone, and she glared at him before
intentionally causing him trouble. She regarded him as awful and was
happy that Tsunami came, at the prospect of Tsunami marrying Whirlpool
instead of her. After Anemone killed Whirlpool, she saw him all the
time: in her dreams, on the faces of strange dragons, practically
everywhere.

According to Blister, I should be able to enchant the Sky

kills her. I don't know for sure if I can do any of that. I'm scared to
try. I don't want to try. Every time an animus dragon uses her power,
she loses a bit of herself. Albatross was a prince and a hero at first,
but they didn't know about the price of animus magic then. Building the
pavilion turned him evil. I don't want that to happen to me.
