'Sora' is an adult female MudWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The
Dragonet Prophecy. She served as a soldier under Queen Moorhen during
the War of SandWing Succession and formerly attended Jade Mountain
Academy as a member of the Gold Winglet. Her current whereabouts are
unknown, as she is a fugitive on the run with her brother Umber, after
her failed attempts to murder Icicle.

## Description

Sora has brown scales and eyes. She looks similar to her brother, Marsh.

## Personality

Sora is described as being shy, difficult to talk to, and extremely
introverted. Clay described her as the least offensive Dragons|dragon at
Jade Mountain Academy. She is quiet. According to Reed, she spoke more often prior to the untimely death of her sister Crane, an
event that led to her deep hatred of Icicle. She was described to be
mentally fragile by Darkstalker and uses a calming ritual in which she
imagines pouring mud over all the bad thoughts in her mind. Sora spent a
lot of her time at Jade Mountain Academy in the library, as Moon had
seen her reading a Literature|scroll about IceWings. Similarly to Moon,
she enjoys reading. She was described by Umber as being knowledgeable
and smart.

Sora is incredibly loyal to her siblings, which is a very typical
MudWing trait. She shows little regard for other dragons' lives during the events of Moon Rising, saying that they are just
'collateral damage,' and is willing to go to any lengths to avenge the
death of her sister, Crane. However, Sora became increasingly insecure
and fragile throughout the series, especially after she unintentionally
killed innocent dragons upon avenging her lost sister. Sora is shown
regretful and greatly affected, and the pressure eventually forced her
to leave the school to avoid any more harm done to any other students.
Before her escape with Umber, she showed remorse for her actions and
found the guilt unbearable. Despite her guilt, she repeatedly tried to
kill Icicle.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

Prophecy

[File:ClaySibs.png|thumb|Clay](File:ClaySibs.png%7Cthumb%7CClay) meeting
his siblings Sora encountered Clay and Glory just as they were leaving
the Mud Kingdom. She, along with the rest of her siblings, stopped them
as they were about to leave, and was overjoyed to seeing their brother
and true MudWings#Society|bigwings for the very first time. Sora was
the most defensive of Reed's role as the group's bigwings but also
begged Clay to stay. However, Clay made peace with them and decided to
go with the dragonets of destiny, on the basis that if he stayed, it
would challenge their loyalty to Reed. Reluctantly, Sora and her
siblings allowed Clay to go to fulfill the prophecy but promised to see
them again when they end the war.

Sora was mentioned by Glory, when she thought about where the
dragonets would go after they fulfilled prophecy.

war. She had great faith in him, which worried Reed that Clay would have
been a better bigwings for them and Crane, their dead sister who may
have survived the IceWing ambush if Clay had been there. She and her
siblings then debated on joining the Talons of Peace but they later
decided against it. When Starflight Animus
enchantments#Treasure|dreamvisited Clay, he dreamt of having a huge
feast with his brothers and sisters, and Starflight thought of his sibs
as more dragons who they needed to save from the war.

Sora and the rest of Clay's siblings were seen when Sunny and
Clay went to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. She was torn to go
along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings since she felt

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Moon Rising
Upon
the opening of Jade Mountain Academy, Sora was placed in the Gold
Winglet, where she shared a room and classes with Icicle. The schools'
founders did this in an attempt to prevent Icicle from killing anyone
within the first week of school, as they thought Sora was not likely to
make the IceWing angry, as she was quiet and nice. On the first night,
Sora could not sleep because she was so worried that Icicle would kill
her like she killed Crane. That night, she overheard Icicle talking
about murder in her sleep, and she became convinced that she needed to
kill Icicle. After a short time, Sora unsuccessfully attempted to kill
Icicle with a Plants#Dragonflame cactus|dragonflame cactus explosion in
the history cave, killing Carnelian and Bigtail in the process.

After the cave explosion, Sora became so anxious that she was
tranquilized and left to recover in the infirmary. Later, Sora tried to
kill Icicle with the stalactite that hung over the IceWing's favorite
part of the prey center by scratching at its base until it was ready to
fall when touched. Icicle survived, realized that it was Sora who was
trying to kill her and set out for revenge. Moon figured this out from
Icicle's thoughts and went to warn Sora.

Sora later asked Kinkajou to leave her so she could apologize to
Tamarin. Sora was found in the infirmary by Moonwatcher, Qibli, and
Umber. Sora explained that Icicle had killed her sister, Crane. She
agreed to run away with Umber, who swore to keep her safe, and thought
that he would keep everyone else safe from her as well. Before she left,
she told Moonwatcher that Icicle talked about killing someone in her
sleep, which made her sure that Icicle was working with Scarlet to kill
the dragonets.

Sora was indirectly mentioned when Winter thought of Icicle and what
happened to her.

Sora was mentioned when Queen Ruby demanded to know who caused the

her.

the new history cave, Qibli is reminded of the explosion in the old
history cave that Sora caused. Qibli noticed that the Gold Winglet had
been 'equally decimated' by Sora's assassination attempts.

## Relationships

### Icicle

Sora despised Icicle after she killed her sister, Crane, during the
Great War. During her time at Jade Mountain Academy, Sora dedicated her
time to conducting Icicle's murder, however both attempts failed. She
was afraid that the princess would kill her one day, just as she did
with Crane.

### Siblings

Sora loves and is very protective of her siblings, as shown when she
tried to avenge Crane by killing Icicle. She is extremely loyal to Reed,
their bigwings, and follows his orders. She also thought about her sibs
while away from them during her brief time at Jade Mountain Academy.
