'Prudence' was an adult female NightWing who was introduced
in Runaway. She was the mother of Hope|Foeslayer, the mother-in-law of
Arctic, and the grandmother of Whiteout and Darkstalker. She was sent to
the Ice Kingdom with her daughter, Starclaws, and Discretion on a
diplomatic mission to negotiate an alliance. Before this diplomatic
mission, she was one of Queen Vigilance's closest advisors.

## Description

Prudence had black scales.

## Personality

Prudence seemed to be very cunning and scheming, masterminding the plan
of letting her daughter marry the prince of the IceWings to get her
tribe animus magic. Prudence showed little regard for Foeslayer as she
insulted and tried to control her. Foeslayer noted that she would act
outraged if one did not want something she was offering, and as soon as
they did want it, she would say that they could not have it.

#### Runaway

Prudence was one of the four dragons, including her daughter, who went
on the diplomatic trip to the Ice Kingdom.

Prudence attempted to take off Foeslayer's Animus
enchantments|animus-enchanted diamond earring, but Arctic quickly made
up an excuse, telling her that it was a diplomatic gift that would be
rude to decline.

She was talking about how annoying Foeslayer's pacing was, when she was
"frozen" by Prince Arctic with his enchanted dagger and then unfrozen.
She agreed to escape with him and Foeslayer from the IceWings along with
Starclaws and Discretion after being threatened by Arctic.

## Quotes

Foeslayer, you are driving me mad. Either sit in a corner and
read or help me pack. If I hear your claws squeaking back and forth on
the ice one more time, I'll remove them and give them to the library as
quills.

Of course I knew. Why do you think I brought you in the first
place? You're the only NightWing in the tribe who would do something
this idiotic, and I had a feeling you'd catch the prince's eye. But I
didn't think he was as big an idiot as you are. I thought he had some
loyalty to his tribe. Some sense of right and wrong. Young dragons are
so useless. All I can say is you'd better have dragonets fast,
Foeslayer. As many as possible, so our tribe can inherit animus magic
and make this whole disaster worthwhile.
