## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Lost Heir

Moray came to notify Queen Coral of a dead body that had been found near
the Summer Palace. The queen showed little interest, yawning, until
Moray mentioned that it was a SkyWing. Coral ordered Moray to fetch
Piranha and Shark, and Moray accompanied them to investigate the body,
which was revealed to be Kestrel's body.

The next morning, Moray was present during a council meeting. While
Whirlpool described how well Coral's newest scrolls were selling, Moray
interrupted by mentioning that the underwater editions, which she spent
much of her time promoting, were especially popular. She also mentioned
that SeaWing schools had adjusted their curriculums to ensure that
dragonets had ample time to read more of Scrolls#List of Known
Scrolls|Coral's scrolls.

## Relationships

### Coral

Moray worried about Coral all night after the queen was faced with
Kestrel's death, and later supported her physically after the death of
Coral's dragonets. She spends all of her energy promoting Coral's
underwater scrolls. She adores and gazes worshipfully toward Coral and
seems to resent Anemone, Orca, and Tsunami, as they are potential
challengers to Coral's throne. She fawns over Coral constantly, and
Tsunami once wondered if Moray would even be willing to kill Coral's
daughters to keep the queen safe. Moray has no problem cleaning up
Coral's dirty work, as she cleaned Tortoise's remains without any
complaint. Moray once stated that she wants Coral to remain queen
forever, and would rather die than challenge her.
