'Pike' is a male SeaWing dragonet who was introduced in Moon Rising.
He currently attends Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Gold
Winglet, as well as a covert guard under Queen Coral with secret orders
to keep Anemone safe from harm.

## Description

Pike has grayish-blue scales and a nick in one ear. He is thin and
slightly smaller than Tamarin.

## Personality

Throughout Moon Rising, Pike initiated conflict over several small
matters. He is fierce, overprotective, and completely loyal to Anemone
and Coral. Turtle notes that he had always been a little louder and more
aggressive than strictly necessary, which got worse when he arrived at
Jade Mountain Academy. However, he is also compassionate, as he
attempted to comfort Tamarin after she was injured in an explosion.
According to Moonwatcher, he is an odd, bad-tempered dragon, and his
thoughts rampage around like wild rhinoceroses. Turtle notes that he
tries too hard in combat classes at the academy and often hurts himself
in the process.

## Biography

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Moon Rising
Pike
was first introduced when he came close to fighting with Carnelian,
thinking that she may have been a part of the army that destroyed the
Summer Palace. Clay stepped in, sending Carnelian to her room and taking
Pike with him for a walk. He later appeared in another argument when
Anemone requested to have the fish that Bigtail, Pike's clawmate, had
already selected. When Bigtail hesitated, saying that he had already
chosen it, Pike leaped to Anemone's defense, telling Bigtail to give it
to her. Clay came over and stopped him, but Pike told Bigtail that he
would pay for what he did.

After the explosion in the history cave occurred, Pike saved Tamarin
from dying by submerging her body in the underground lake, which he
learned by watching other SeaWings after the Summer Palace was destroyed
by Burn's forces.

At the assembly, Moonwatcher read his mind and realized that Pike was
Anemone's secret guard. Moon described Pike's thoughts as a stampede of
raging rhinoceros. He also thought about Tamarin, pitying her. Pike was
suspected to be assigned by Queen Coral to protect Anemone, even though
she herself was one of the most dangerous dragons at Jade Mountain
Academy. This was because she was secretly a animus dragon.

In the epilogue, Pike complimented Anemone on her swimming while they
were at the underground lake.

Pike was indirectly mentioned alongside the other SeaWing students to
have made the underground their "exclusive clubhouse," according to
Peril.

left Talons of Power
Pike was swimming in the underground lake with Anemone and Tamarin
when Turtle came to warn his sister about Darkstalker. He was seen to be
kind toward Tamarin and cared about her well being, as well as
protective of Anemone, as usual. Anemone said that he was sleeping
outside her door when she left to go to the Rainforest
Kingdom|rainforest. He also appeared in Turtle's flashback as a
three-year-old in the Talons of Power ceremony, wanting to help Anemone.
In the flashback, he was noted to take training too seriously, often
fighting too hard in training sessions and frequently hurting himself
accidentally.

Darkness of Dragons
Pike burst into
the history class searching for Anemone. When he heard that Anemone has
followed Darkstalker, he clutched his head in horror and exclaimed that
he had to go after her, commenting that Coral would feed him to the
sharks. Webs forced him to stay for the class, as they had enough
students missing already. In the epilogue, Pike was mentioned to be
doing a presentation on Darkstalker's history with Tamarin and Fearless.
It was also mentioned that following her soul spell, Anemone began
acting much less burdened, laughing and teasing Pike.

## Relationships

### Anemone

Pike is Anemone's guard under Coral's orders. He is shown to be
incredibly loyal to her and constantly showering her with affection.
This is shown when Anemone wanted the fish that Bigtail was about to eat
by supporting Anemone and growling at Bigtail to give the fish to her.
On the day of the Talons of Power ceremony, Pike looked like he wanted
to help Anemone, but was not sure he was allowed to. Though his
protection of Anemone is due to fear of punishment, he seems to have a
normal relationship with her, as shown as when she gently teased him. He
is defensive over her and does not seem to trust that others will take
proper care of her.

### Tamarin

Both are from the Gold Winglet. Pike expresses kindness and compassion
toward Tamarin as shown as when he saved her from dying. He also seems
to care about her wellbeing, and reassured her when he politely said
that Kinkajou was fine.

### Coral

Pike is very loyal to his queen and a little afraid of her. He will do
anything she says.
