'Daffodil', previously referred to as 'Pumpkin' by Winter, is a young
female human who was introduced in Dragonslayer. She is a resident of
Valor as a Wingwatcher, and is currently residing in Sanctuary with
Winter.

## Description

Daffodil has long dark hair that she used to wear in a bright yellow
ponytail. She usually wears the forest-green Wingwatcher uniform. She
used to wear yellow ribbons in her hair as a reference to her namesake.

## Personality

Ivy describes her to be loud and sarcastic, noting that she practically
vibrated with energy even when she had to sit still. It is said by
Daffodil's mother that she has a 'dreadfully strong' personality. She
usually gets into fights with Violet, but sometimes is the one who
comforts Ivy.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left
The Dangerous Gift
At some point,
Daffodil was caught by Winter and taken to Sanctuary so he can study
her.

After Queen Snowfall told Lynx about one of her visions, Lynx took her
to an enclosure where Daffodil was being kept. Winter named her Pumpkin
and she is said to be very brave, having bitten Winter five times. She
was constantly trying to escape and, according to Moonwatcher, was mad
that she is being kept there. Later, Winter told Snowfall to keep an eye
on the scavenger while he finds Tsunami and Qibli. Sky emerged soon
afterwards to distract Snowfall while Wren cut a hole into the fence for
Daffodil to escape. After Snowfall caught up to Sky, Wren shocked her by
revealing that she could speak Languages#Dragon|Dragon. When Snowfall
asked if Daffodil can speak Dragon too, Wren answered that she would if
she payed attention and studied more. Daffodil then talked to the
Dragons|dragon and Snowfall noted that her pitch was too high and her
growls and accents were in the wrong places.

When Wren introduced Daffodil to the other dragons, she did not like the
name that Winter gave her and told Wren to repeat to them that Daffodil
was her real name. As Wren talked with the dragons, Daffodil played with
Bumblebee, tossing the dragonet into the air and catching her, as well
as letting her sit on her shoulders and play with her hair.

After the next queen meeting, Daffodil was mentioned to be kept safe by
Winter as he was overseeing the scavenger outreach project.

### Legends

left
Dragonslayer
Daffodil first appeared
when she dragged Ivy into a room with Violet after eavesdropping on her
and Miss Laurel. They argued about Pine's banishment, deciding whether
they should spy on Heath for what he had done. Daffodil and Violet then
revealed their "secret" club to Ivy, named the "Truth Seekers." The
primary goal of the club was to find out the truth about everything. The
three eventually became best friends, and Daffodil convinced Ivy to
follow Heath into the forbidden ruins.

Years later, the three became Wingwatchers together. Daffodil noted that
Violet only became a Wingwatcher because she did not want to miss out
any conspiracies, and that she was blunt and rude about it. Daffodil
then revealed that the Wingwatchers were planning revolution against the
Dragonslayer, much to Ivy's horror.

Daffodil was frequently shown with Ivy and Violet throughout the story,
often arguing. She was mentioned to still not have seen any dragons by
the time Violet saw her first SandWing, something she was outrageous
about. Ivy also mentioned that Daffodil no longer wore yellow, as she
used to do underground.

Soon after, an IceWing carrying Ivy's uncle Stone showed up. Ivy,
Daffodil, Squirrel, and Violet went forward to investigate. He told them
of Rose's story after they went to his cave, in which Ivy heard of how
Heath left behind his sister for treasure. The dreamvisitor was hidden
under the blankets, which Heath suspected once he walked in, and
Daffodil told Stone that they would wash it and bring it back.

Daffodil later woke up Ivy after a while of training to reveal that
Violet, Foxglove, and a few others were taken prisoner by her father.
She, alongside Lark, Ivy's mother, snuck her out of the house. Daffodil
and Ivy ended up in the abandoned city, where they camped out with Pine
and later, Stone and Leaf.

## Relationships

### Bumblebee

Daffodil is shown to have a good friendship with Bumblebee. She even
lets her sit on her shoulders and play with her hair.

### Daisy

Daffodil appears to dislike her older sister, going as far as to say she
loathes Daisy. Throughout Dragonslayer she constantly mentions how she
finds Daisy annoying, even comparing Daisy to Heath while trying to
comfort Ivy.

### Ivy

Daffodil considers Ivy one of her best friends. She cares greatly for
her, and has been shown comforting Ivy whenever she has been distressed.
Daffodil trusts Ivy, and is protective of her while hiding out in the
abandoned ruins of Valor, trying to convince Ivy not to go with any of
her plans that could get her arrested.

### Violet

Daffodil often gets into arguments with Violet, though she has shown
concern and care for Violet throughout Dragonslayer. The two are said to
be best friends before befriending Ivy, and Ivy notes that both are
fiercely loyal to each other. When telling Ivy about the imprisoned
Wingwatchers, Daffodil began to cry when she said Violet was arrested.

### Winter

Daffodil disliked being Winter's pet as she constantly tried to escape
and bitten Winter five times. However, Daffodil was willing to stay with
him to practice speaking Dragon if Winter listened and did not lock her
up.

### Wren

Daffodil and Wren appear to be on friendly terms. Wren mentioned that if
Daffodil paid attention or studied more, she could have been able to
talk to any dragon who was trying to eat her, implying that Wren
presumably tried teaching Daffodil how to speak Dragon between the
timelines of Dragonslayer and The Dangerous Gift.

I don't have a problem with chaos. Or revolution! I have a
problem with one of my best friends acting like an idiot. You can't be
sure all the Wingwatchers are part of this imaginary secret revolution.
If you say the wrong thing to the wrong person, they could turn you in
for treason, and then you'll be banished, and then it'll suddenly be a
lot quieter and less stressful around here, so actually, never mind, you
keep being you.
