'Listener' was a female NightWing dragonet who was introduced in Darkstalker. She
was a mind-reader who resided in the lost city of night and attended the
NightWing school before fleeing the city to the NightWing
island|NightWing Island.

## Description

Listener was large, with a long neck and curves that suggested that she
was a successful hunter. She had dark scales and silver teardrop scales
indicative of mind-reading in the outside corner of each eye.

## Personality

Listener was sarcastic, curious, easy-to-laugh, and would rather be
surprised by life than know too much. She acted coy and uttered a fake
laugh around Thoughtful. Listener showed empathy towards the humans in
her class kept as pets; however, she could also be narrow-minded, shown
when she called Whiteout "Weirdout".

## Biography

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Darkness of Dragons

Moonwatcher mentioned Listener when she realized that Clearsight
(actually Fierceteeth, enchanted by Darkstalker) did not seem to be
herself. She then went on about how she read a Literature|scroll about
her written by Listener, describing her friend as being one of the most
brilliant NightWings of all time, and how no one else was able to send
their mind down multiple futures like her.

### Legends

#### Darkstalker

Listener first met Clearsight when she entered the school on her first
day. Clearsight immediately started reading into her futures while
Listener read her mind. She told Clearsight that she would prefer to
live out her life without knowing what was going to happen, as her
family was "superstitious about seers" then told Clearsight she planned
to free the school's scavengers. She and Clearsight become quick
friends, however with very conflicting interests, as she often disagreed
with Clearsight and had different ideas. Listener showed her dislike of
Whiteout, calling her "Weirdout," and saying that she thought
Darkstalker was creepy.

Listener later executed her plan of freeing the scavengers. After some
difficulty catching them, she and Clearsight went to a beach to free
them, where an IceWing scout was hiding on the beach ate one of the
scavengers. Clearsight assured Listener that she would not tell anyone
why they were there before going to tell Queen Vigilance about the
scout.

Later on, at a party, Listener was thinking of asking out a handsome
NightWing named Thoughtful. She was hanging out with Darkstalker,
Clearsight, Fathom, and Whiteout when he approached. Clearsight
redirected Thoughtful's attention to Whiteout, because of possible
futures involving Thoughtful and Whiteout, much to Listener's confusion,
anger, and dismay.

When Listener was among the crowd watching Arctic's violent
self-disembowelment, Clearsight sought her out and warned her to take
everyone and leave the Night Kingdom for their own safety, in case her
plan did not work. Listener understood immediately, although called
Darkstalker Clearsight's "psycho boyfriend." The two friends exchanged
heartfelt goodbyes, then went their separate ways. Listener fled the
Night Kingdom alongside her tribe and eventually found a new home on the
NightWing Island.

## Relationships

### Clearsight

Despite Clearsight and Listener initially being wary of one another's
NightWing abilities of mind-reading and precognition, they quickly
became best friends. All of the futures involving Listener were warmer
for Clearsight, with much more laughing. Clearsight felt genuinely happy
around Listener, and even though she regarded Listener's obsession with
scavengers slightly strange, she accepted her regardless. Clearsight was
very affectionate towards her.

### Darkstalker

Listener was wary of Darkstalker's power and personality, calling him
Clearsight's stalker. She believed that Clearsight could do better and
was skeptical of Darkstalker's word. She is sometimes surprised by
Darkstalker's magic such as when she was shocked when she saw
Darkstalker survive Quickdeath's assassination attempt.

## Quotes

I already know you're crazy. When you walked in, you looked
around the classroom and immediately categorized every student into
'safe to be friends with' and 'doomed if I talk to them.' What is that
about? And just checking — I'm not in the doomed camp, am I?

Exactly! That was exactly her feeling. Their feelings are
crazy similar to ours. I need to ask some other mind readers if they've
noticed it, too. Or maybe there are scrolls about it in the library. I
don't think we've had many captive ones before, so maybe I'm making an
awesome new discovery.

It's not a terrible idea, or you wouldn't be letting me do it,
because you'd have seen it go wrong and you'd know we were going to be
caught. Ipso facto, clearly we'll be fine, because you're just grumbling
and not actually trying to stop me.

Clearsight. Listen, I ― I know I told you I don't want to know
the future. But if ― if I ever have to evacuate my family ― I mean, if
it's a question of saving their lives … if something really, really bad
is about to happen … then I guess I do want you to tell me.

He said, 'Excuse me, is this the way to the strawberry garden?'
and I said, 'It certainly is!' and he said, 'Thank you' and I said,
'Are you going to the jubilee festival tonight?' and he said, 'Urgh, I
suppose I have to,' and I said, 'Cool, see you there!' so, obviously,
we are destined to be together forever. Don't you dare tell me
otherwise!
