### Legends

#### Dragonslayer

Cranberry first appeared helping Rowan train Leaf. Leaf mentioned that
she had been separated from her traveling entertainment group when he
was twelve, and that she was still hoping for her troupe to come back
and find her. She had taught Leaf all of her acrobatic moves, which
included cartwheels, handsprings and backflips. Grove thinks out loud
that the dragonmancers might be lying, and he and Leaf talk about
breaking in to his study. However, Cranberry intervenes, saying that she
had been keeping track of the dragonmancers' visions, and that they were
right more than half the time.

The next time Cranberry appeared was when she ran up to Rowan, telling
her that a group of villagers had just come and taken Grove away. Rowan
then told her that they had to find and bring back treasure for the
dragonmancers or they would sacrifice him. Leaf asked her for a sword,
so she led the way to their secret weapon stash. They then set off for
the palace.

Cranberry was in the group of scavengers that Queen Scarlet saw, before
she decided to chase after Mushroom. She was also one of the scavengers
chosen for the arena, and the one who almost stabbed Starflight in the
eye.
