'Indigo' was an adult female SeaWing who was introduced in Darkstalker.
She was the partner of Fathom and the mother of Clearpool, Cowrie, and
Ripple. She formerly served as part of Queen Pearl's royal guard and her
last known whereabouts were an island off the coast of the Rainforest
Kingdom.

## Description

Indigo had deep blue scales that were almost purple, dark purple-blue
claws, and dark purple eyes. She moved with astonishing quickness.
Fathom described the SeaWing carving he gave to Darkstalker as having an
"intelligent expression", which looked unmistakably like Indigo. On the
day of the Royal SeaWing Massacre, she wore a dark purple seaweed
necklace that Fathom made for her.

## Personality

Indigo was firm, clever, curious, defiant, loyal, brave, intelligent,
courageous, and protective. She was said to be mischievous and funny,
and enjoyed executing pranks alongside Fathom. She distrusted most
NightWings and strongly believed that Darkstalker was inherently evil,
going as far as attacking him and holding a sharp metal disk to his
throat. She was also noted to be thoughtful and a good listener, and she
often spoke her mind. She did not seem to care much about her physical
appearance. She was typically outwardly calm, despite her trauma
resulting from the Royal SeaWing Massacre. According to Darkstalker's
soul reader, she had a lot of goodness within her heart. She was glad
that she was not an Animus magic|animus, and thought of the power as
creepy. When she was younger, she was implied to have a lot of screaming
fits, similar to her daughter, Clearpool.

### Legends

left Darkstalker

During the animus test, Indigo fooled around and teased Fathom. Queen
Lagoon and Albatross appeared and scolded her. She was the one who asked
Albatross how they were meant to tell a coconut to hit him, and then
pointed out that it would just be easier to throw it. When Fathom
politely asked the coconut to hit Albatross, she teased him yet again,
telling him that he was allowed to be mean to objects. When the coconut
hit Albatross, she asked why Fathom had never told her. He replied that
he had not known he was an animus.

Later, while she, Fathom, and Pearl were at tutoring, Albatross sent a
messenger for Fathom. Not wanting to leave his side, Indigo snuck away
to watch what they were doing and found them at the Summer Palace.
Albatross discovered her spying on them, saying that Queen Lagoon would
"not be pleased that you've seen her most secret project." Indigo,
characteristically, was defiant and acted as though she did not care.
When Fathom told her excitedly that he was about to do his first
enchantment, Albatross told them that they were done with their first
lesson and left them alone at the Summer Palace.

Indigo and Fathom begun to build a sea castle on the beach. As they did
this, Fathom wondered why Albatross suddenly decided to quit. Indigo
speculated that it was because he was old and boring and then asked to
Fathom whether he thought the queen would stop them from being friends.
Fathom declared that he would never let the queen do that. Indigo still
looked worried, so he used his first enchantment to make an octopus out
of driftwood for her, despite her protests that they should wait. Even
so, Indigo loved it immediately and named the octopus, Blob by saying,
"He's clearly a Blob. Aren't you, Blob?"

Before Indigo, Fathom, and Pearl left for the party in which the
massacre took place, Pearl let Indigo borrow a pearl necklace from her,
and then they left for the party after a short conversation. At the
party, Queen Lagoon made Indigo get her a drink so that she could
lecture Fathom, and she told Fathom to stop being friends with Indigo.
When Albatross started killing dragons, Indigo and Fathom ran to one of
the above-water pavilions to hide. Indigo told Fathom that he was the
most likely next target. Indigo and Fathom were hiding under a boat when
Albatross came into the pavilion, and Indigo got out from under the boat
and attacks Albatross, trying to give Fathom time to escape. Instead,
Fathom ordered the spears to kill his grandfather, and Indigo seized
Albatross's snout to smother any spell he might try to cast. The spears
eventually do kill Albatross, but Indigo fell and almost died. Fathom
saved Indigo's life by using the pearl necklace that she was wearing.
When the massacre ends, Fathom named Indigo as the dragon that killed
Albatross, keeping his fatal use of his powers a secret. She was then
named the 'Animus Killer.' After Pearl was crowned the new queen of the
SeaWings, she made Indigo part of her royal guard, and made Fathom
promise to never have dragonets with her.

A year passed until Indigo saw Fathom again. Queen Pearl kept the two
dragonets away from each other because it was clear they were in love.
When Fathom found out about Darkstalker being an animus, he decided to
go to the lost city of night|Night Kingdom, and Indigo volunteered to go
with him. They also take two other guards, Wharf and Lionfish. When they
arrive, they attend a party where they first met Darkstalker. Indigo was
immediately suspicious of Darkstalker, even to the point where she held
a razor-sharp dagger to his throat. That was when Darkstalker made up
his mind that he needed to 'dispose' Indigo.

A month passed, and Darkstalker got his chance. He enchanted a pebble
to, when thrown into the room Indigo was in, trap her inside the carving
of a SeaWing Fathom made for him. For a good part of the story, she was
inside the carving. Fathom finally got her out many days later after
reading the enchantment, clutching the carving and enchanting it to
release her. While he did that, Clearsight was trapping Darkstalker
under the mountain.

The two fly away to a secret island, never to be seen by the mainlanders
again. They had three dragonets together: Cowrie, Ripple, and Clearpool.
They passed animus blood down through the line until eventually one of
their dragonets finds their way back to the other SeaWings.

## Relationships

### Blob

Blob snuggled in close to Indigo, and often sat atop her shoulder.
Indigo was delighted to have him, and loved him very dearly. She was
happy and joyful when they were reunited before leaving the lost city of
night.

### Darkstalker

Darkstalker was hostile towards Indigo, and while the NightWing
attempted to convince Fathom to loosen his hold on his magic, Indigo
encouraged him to keep it under strict control. She was suspicious of
Darkstalker, and after she destroyed the goblet he bought for Fathom, he
looked consumed with rage. She considered Darkstalker to be manipulative
and constantly watched him to ensure that he did not harm Fathom. She
stated that Darkstalker was definitely evil.

### Fathom

Since they were tiny dragonets, Fathom was Indigo's best friend. He
rarely went anywhere without her, and they'd been together almost since
hatching. Some of Fathom's memories alongside her included claw
painting, hours spent carving a dolphin out of wood for her, filling out
their fish journals for every variety in the sea, and her teasing him
for taking their tutors so seriously. Fathom considered her smile the
best in Pyrrhia, and they were often physically affectionate. He was
reassuring towards her, and his affection towards her was noticeable to
other dragons. He looked at her like he loves her, and created treasure
for her out of his own talons; likewise, she brought him what he needed
before he asked for it. He considered their relationship platonic until
the night of the Royal SeaWing Massacre, when he realized that the happy
flutters in his heart whenever he saw Indigo indicated that he was in
love with her.

In the massacre, Indigo was willing to die to save Fathom, and Fathom
used his magic to save her life. After the massacre, Fathom considered
being separated from Indigo the worst punishment of all. Even after
being separated from her for an entire year, seeing her in Pearl's
throne room brought memories and longing and despair crashing back to
Fathom. He would do anything to save her, even giving up his entire
soul. He wanted desperately for her to accompany him to the lost city of
night, but also considered how dangerous it would be for Indigo. She is
protective towards him and spent hours training after the massacre so
that no dragon could hurt Fathom ever again. She often felt sympathetic
towards Fathom. Despite her experiences with Albatross' animus magic,
she did not consider Fathom dangerous, and he missed her very much while
they were separated. She refused to leave him, and trusted him
immensely.

After Indigo smashed the goblet that Darkstalker created for Fathom, he
chose Wharf to accompany him to the Royal Tower instead of Indigo. She
was wrought with hurt and disbelief, but although Fathom was upset with
her, he understood her protectiveness, and wanted her to stay within
their chambers for her own safety.

After fleeing the lost city of night and settling down together on an
island near the Rainforest Kingdom, Indigo was eventually able to
convince Fathom that it was all right for him to be happy, and that he
was not a monster because of his animus magic. She believed with all of
her heart that Fathom had too much kindness and goodness in him to ever
end up like Albatross and Darkstalker.

### Lagoon

Lagoon openly disliked Indigo, who was terrified by the queen. She often
glared at Indigo and looked down her snout at the dragonet. As Fathom
grew older, her words towards Indigo became meaner and more pointed, and
she spoke to Indigo exactly as she did towards the servants. She wanted
Fathom to stop being friends with Indigo, as it was becoming obvious
that his feelings for her were growing and the queen did not want him to
marry a "low-born" dragon like Indigo.

### Manta

Their relationship seemed to be positive and she did not seem to mind
that Indigo had borrowed Pearl's jewelry to attend a diplomatic party.
She also would compliment Indigo. When Queen Lagoon ordered Indigo to go
deep sea fishing, she stopped Indigo and went off fishing herself.

### Pearl

After the Royal SeaWing Massacre, Indigo was promoted to Pearl's honor
guard, assigned to the squadron that protected Pearl herself, night and
day. She rarely let Indigo leave her side. This was mostly to keep
Fathom and Indigo apart so they would never have dragonets together and
produce possible animus dragons, which is what Pearl feared the most.
