'Tsunami' is an adult female SeaWing and the main protagonist of The Lost Heir. Formerly a Talons of
Peace#Dragonet of destiny|dragonet of destiny, she is also partially
responsible for ending the War of SandWing Succession. She is a princess
and the oldest living heir to the SeaWing Dragon royalty|throne. She is
the headmistress of Jade Mountain Academy, where she currently resides
and is in a long-distance relationship with Riptide.

## Description

According to Webs, Tsunami's egg was of "the deepest blue", matching the
description of the foretold SeaWing Dragons|dragonet's egg in the The Dragonet Prophecy.

Tsunami has dark, deep, royal-blue scales like sapphires that have pale
emerald-green flecks underneath them, and shimmer like cobalt glass in
torchlight. She has sharp white teeth, blue talons, a long neck and
tail, and large, translucent green eyes. She has azure-blue wings, the
color of the sea, that have starbursts shaped like webbed talonprints
underneath them. She is tall, and is bigger than Turtle and Sundew, but
she is still smaller than Clay, and has a sleek, elegant form. One of
her wings has a cut near the edge and she has a strong and powerful
tail.

She also wears several strands of pearls, including a beautiful, heavy,
oddly shaped, cool, smooth, long strand of shimmering pale purple pearls
draped around her neck, as well as one wrapped around her chest and
wings, given to her by her Coral|mother. She has a brash voice.

## Personality

Tsunami is powerful, fast, defiant, noisy, brave, independent, bossy,
fearless, vengeful, firm, outspoken, bold, impulsive, desperate to prove
herself, stout, indignant, fierce, determined, snarky, short tempered,
brisk, buoyant, and does not usually wait for permission before acting
on something. She is angry, ferocious, and a formidable warrior. She
likes feeling powerful and dangerous, is easily ruffled, and has a short
temper. She is protective and will fight for those she cares about. She
can be polite, and has learned to better control her impulses, although
she is still willing to fight when necessary. She considers protecting
her friends to be her duty, and she wants to be a dragon her friends can
trust.

Tsunami shouts a lot and is not very good at answering polite questions,
and she sometimes makes specific and detailed threats. While she does
enjoy reading, she would usually rather be fighting something. She does
not tend to appreciate advice. She often ignores her exhaustion in order
to complete her goals, and does not like being caught by anything
stronger than her. Despite her brash exterior, she secretly feels very
bad about killing other dragons; even though she believes that holding
such a sentiment is ridiculous. She feels that helping others is
important, and is adamantly against anyone being used. She does not
trust prophecies or animus magic, believing that prophecies are silly.

Tsunami began to feel as though she should stop listening to all of her
first instincts after she learned that Gill, a dragon that she had
previously killed, was her father. She was self-conscious about her
actions and why she was "not a better dragon" and felt very guilty after
quickly becoming defensive around Riptide. She later second-guessed her
true intentions whilst taking Auklet's egg: was she doing the right
thing, or acting on impulse? As a result of these past missteps, she has
learned to operate more on logic and to think before she acts to make up
for the wrongs of her past.

She was considered to have potential by Morrowseer, and Peril thought of
her as a fireball that blazed at everything that made her mad. Luna
described her as even scarier than Sundew sometimes and thought that she
would not even stop to think before rescuing members of the stealth
team.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The Dragonet
Prophecy
Tsunami was brought to the Talons of Peace by a
SeaWing named Webs, one of the Talons of Peace#Guardians of the
Dragonets|guardians, who had stolen her egg from the Deep Palace#Royal
Hatchery|Royal Hatchery after drugging the guards. Her egg was stolen
because of its shade of deep blue described in the The Dragonet Prophecy (prophecy)|prophecy, and she was brought to a cave located in the Claws
of the Clouds Mountains, where she lived for the first six years of her
life. She grew up with resentment and anger towards the guardians for
keeping them locked away in what she saw as a prison, away from the
world she and her friends had been longing to see, causing her to become
understandably rebellious. At the beginning of the book, she interfered
in a fight between Clay and Kestrel, one of their guardians, telling
Kestrel to stop picking on Clay.

Eventually, she escaped with Clay through the river after they heard
Morrowseer demand Glory's death, for being an unsuitable replacement for
the unhatched Unnamed characters#SkyWings|SkyWing egg in the prophecy.
Tsunami was chained to a rock column to keep her from preventing the
murder of Glory because they were going to drown her, and Tsunami could
swim and save her along with her being able to fight the guardians
better than any of the other dragonets. She sang the Songs#The
Dragonets Are Coming|bar song about the prophecy, like she always did to
irritate their guardians, but submitted when Kestrel threatened to chain
up her mouth and Clay as well.

After Clay managed to escape down the underground river that ended with
a waterfall leading into the Sky Kingdom, she broke free of the chains
with the help of Sunny and Starflight's combined fire and rescued Clay
from the 'white substance' in the underground river that began to
dissolve his scales.

Escaping the chains had dislocated her wing joint when they came over a
waterfall out of the mountain. Clay was luckily able to save her,
carrying her safely to the ground. After Clay forcibly fixed it by
ramming into it, they crossed paths with a SkyWing who revealed herself
to be Scarlet, from whom they escaped after Tsunami impaled her tail in
the vulnerable spot into the ground with a scavenger claw. This later
resulted in their capture and imprisonment in the cave, along with
Kestrel and the rest of the dragonets. After that, they were taken to
the SkyWing prison and got separated.

During their imprisonment above the SkyWing Arena, Tsunami proved to be
very temperamental and would lash out at the SkyWing guards,
particularly with her strong tail. Due to this, Tsunami was given extra
chains to protect the guards. After Clay denounced her as "just one more
SeaWing" in front of Scarlet to protect her from the arena, he was
forced to fight an IceWing named Fjord. To distract Fjord and save
Clay's life, she willingly flung herself off her ledge/prison, nearly
choking to death and dragging all the other nearby prisoners down with
her. However, it gave Glory enough time to kill Fjord with her venom.
The guards carried her and the other prisoners, who were later grumbling
that she nearly killed them by jumping off, back up.

Tsunami was surprisingly cowed by Burn|Princess Burn. She was taken away
after the prisoners sang about the prophecy, and when she encountered
Peril, she was distrusting of her — preferring to stay a safe distance
away. Later, she was forced to fight and kill Gill, who, to her horror,
was later discovered to be her father. Then she was forced to fight
Starflight, and to Scarlet's furious disapproval, they just proceeded to
embrace each other gently. She and Starflight were then pitted against
four scavengers, then some IceWings, only to be interrupted by
Morrowseer, who saved Starflight after killing all of the IceWing
prisoners.

She and the rest of the prophecy dragonets managed to escape with the
aid of Peril, and they decided to search for their parents. After
realizing Clay had unintentionally hurt Glory, she planned a trick to
make him think she left for good and that Glory could watch his
reaction, so she could realize that he had not meant it. When Glory and
Clay returned from looking for his parents, they left for the Kingdom of
the Sea to meet Tsunami's mother, Queen Coral, and her possible
siblings.

left The Lost Heir

After escaping from the SkyWing Palace, the dragonets sought refuge in a
forest near the Kingdom of the Sea. They spotted a patrol of SkyWings
flying overhead and were forced into hiding. Tsunami nearly killed a
soldier (when she thought the SkyWing had seen Sunny and was about to
bring in the rest of the patrol) who neared the dragonets, which angered
the rest of the group. They then began to listen to Starflight's
opinions more than Tsunami's, which made her think that her friends did
not want her to save them from danger and that they would rather have
the NightWing as their leader instead.

Eager to meet her tribe and get away from the other dragonets, she dove
into the ocean. There, she spots two SeaWings (later revealed to be
Riptide and Nautilus) communicating in Aquatic. After puzzling about
this, she waited for one of the SeaWings to leave before coming up to
the other, "more handsome" one, who was Riptide. He attempted to
communicate with her in Aquatic but failed since Tsunami had never
learned Aquatic. When he flashes his stripes at her, she takes it as a
test, flashing her stripes back at him. She randomly flashed her
stripes, mirroring what he did. After he flashed her stripes at her a
second time, the other SeaWing suddenly lunged at her.

Tsunami assumed he was trying to attack her and slashed at the SeaWing's
snout. Eventually, she surfaced and flew back toward Clay and the
others, hoping for some backup. However, after a bit of arguing, Riptide
accused her of saying she liked him and has a lot of explaining to do,
the other dragon introduced himself as Riptide and offered to take
Tsunami and her friends to the Summer Palace. The group then ran into a
patrol led by Shark|Commander Shark. The commander ordered his guards to
kill the dragonets, but Tsunami quickly stopped them by ordering them,
as the princess, not to kill them. She immediately became distrustful of
Shark, and Riptide is surprised that she dared to contradict Shark.

When they finally made it to the Summer Palace, Queen Coral welcomed
her. Tsunami found out that she had a little sister, Anemone, and was
slightly jealous of her. It seemed Coral was slightly suspicious of the
other dragonets. They were locked up in a cave, but she assured Tsunami
that they would be safe, though she protested. Her mother introduced her
to a male SeaWing named Whirlpool, who was on her SeaWing
Council|council. Tsunami immediately disliked Whirlpool, considering him
boring, annoying, and ugly. Their conversation was interrupted by Moray,
who reported that a dead dragon was found a few islands from The Summer
Palace and glared at Tsunami. After finding out that the dead dragon was
Kestrel, Tsunami debated about whether to tell her friends about their
guardian's death.

They headed to the underwater chambers below one of the waterfalls to
sleep. Tsunami immediately went to sleep, and when she woke up, Coral
was still sleeping. She talked to Anemone, her little sister, and got to
know her better for the first time. Because Tsunami did not know
Aquatic, they first headed into a nearby air pocket under the waterfall.
Anemone explained what happened to Orca|Princess Orca, who challenged
Coral for her throne at the age of seven years. Coral killed her
accidentally in the end but dearly missed her. Anemone explains how
terrible her life had been growing up, as she had been attached to Coral
at all times with a harness. Coral then woke up and invited them to come
with her to the pavilion to eat with the Council. Tsunami accidentally
embarrassed herself by eating when the queen has not given permission. A
war party reported that the Sky Kingdom was trying to decide who should
be the successor of Queen Scarlet. A possible candidate was Ruby, her
eldest daughter. Tsunami revealed that they were in the Sky Kingdom not
long ago. Coral asked if they saw her husband, Gill, who went missing.
Tsunami regretfully told her that Gill was dead and discovered that he
was her father. She did not tell Coral she killed him unknowingly. The
Council was dismissed so that Coral could grieve.

Whirlpool found Tsunami and started her first lesson of Aquatic by
making her recite a scroll, called The Tragedy Of Orca, written by her
mother, Coral. Frustrated, Tsunami stormed off, as she did not learn
anything due to the flashes she copied from him completely out of her
comprehension and her not knowing anything from the actual scroll. She
searched and found for Riptide, who then taught her a few basics of
Aquatic, including "I will protect," a phrase she used multiple times
later.

When she returned to the palace, someone or something attacked her in
the tunnel and covered her face so she could not see. She distracted
them by opening and closing her wings twice and flashing her stripes all
at once. She then finds Coral to tell her about the attack; however, the
queen was more concerned about her eggs than finding out who had
attacked her daughter. When they arrived at the hatchery, Coral
discovered one of her two eggs had been smashed. Coral blamed Tortoise,
who was guarding the room but left to eat an octopus Shark offered to
her. As a result, Tortoise was killed by Coral. Tsunami decided to
protect the remaining egg, not realizing that she would be killed if
anything happened to the egg. Using her limited Aquatic, she said, "I
will protect" while holding Coral's last heir.

She left the Deep Palace and met Riptide. She requested his help, and he
agreed. They swam to the Summer Palace cavern to check on her friends.
The cave was filled with water, and her friends had been neglected and
chained up. Furious, Tsunami confronted the guards who had the key.
Instead of attacking them, she convinced them to give her the key. She
freed her friends and slept with them in a dry cave until the storm
passed. They soon met Blister|Princess Blister and Coral in the Summer
Palace, hiding from the storm. While talking with Coral, Blister
accidentally revealed that she murdered Kestrel by saying her throat was
slashed even though she would not have known that. Tsunami discovered
that Anemone was an animus, which runs in the Dragon royalty|royal
family. Disobeying Whirlpool, Anemone refused to demonstrate her powers
to Blister at first but eventually gave in. Blister noticed Webs spying
on them in the canopy and threw him onto Tsunami. Coral recognized him
as the one who stole Tsunami's egg and refused his plea for mercy.
Shortly afterward, she slammed her tail into his head and left him to
fall. Tsunami saved him with the help of Clay. She realized later that
Webs had saved her from Orca's statue by stealing her egg before the
statue could smash it. After seeing Riptide injured, Tsunami bargained
with Coral to spare Riptide and Webs if she saved the last egg. Coral
refused to let Webs go yet reluctantly agreed to save Riptide.

Tsunami decided to wait in the Royal Hatchery for the egg to hatch.
However, since she was also an heir, Orca's statue came alive and
attacked her. Tsunami used a Weapons#Dragon Weapons|spear to stab the
statue through the mouth and pin it into the ground. She went to grab
the egg, and when she got it, it hatched a small green dragonet who was
soon named Auklet. She kicked open the door, and the statue went
inactive, as it was enchanted only to kill when there was no one to see
it. She found out that the statue was enchanted by her sister, Orca,
secretly an animus. She then alerted her mother, who had the statue
destroyed.

Blister encouraged the dragonets to choose her, but the dragonets
refused to do so until they got the entire picture. Blister convinced
Coral to throw them in her prison. Anemone arrived in the prison and
used her animus magic to find out that Whirlpool was the one who had
attacked Tsunami. Whirlpool revealed that he planned to kill Tsunami and
marry Anemone, but since Blister planned to use her animus powers to win
the war, she probably would not survive, and he said that he had changed
his mind to choose Auklet. Anemone used a spear to hit Whirlpool, who
then fell into the electric eel moat. The eels then promptly shocked and
killed him. Tsunami and her friends used this opportunity to jump
through the waterfall and escape. They escaped just in time to see the
SkyWings and MudWings attack the Summer Palace. Tsunami and the others
found and freed Riptide and Webs. They met Crocodile, who was revealed
to be a traitor to the Talons of Peace. Glory spat her venom into her
eyes, almost certainly killing her. However, Blister suddenly attacked
and attempted to kill Webs by stabbing at his heart with the venomous
barb on her tail, but she missed and scratched his tail instead. The
dragonets decided to go to the Rainforest Kingdom, to see if the
RainWings knew how to cure SandWing poison and meet Glory's family.

left The Hidden Kingdom

The dragonets were traveling through the Mud Kingdom with
Webs when they find two MudWing soldiers dead. Tsunami wanted to stop
and investigate but was outvoted by the other dragonets. The MudWing
soldiers had mentioned a monster that resides within the rainforest.
They continue to the Rainforest Kingdom. However, all of them except
Glory and Starflight are knocked unconscious with sleep darts by the
RainWings. The RainWings take them to the village and insist that it is
the best way to meet new visitors.

The dragonets soon wake up in the RainWing village, and Tsunami yells at
Jambu for knocking them out. She then tells Sunny to stay still so she
could kill and eat Silver (Glory's sloth), but Glory stops her, tells
her that Silver was hers, and Tsunami asked her if she meant that Glory
is going to eat the sloth. Glory tells her that Silver is her pet and
not to make snide comments. Tsunami yells at Glory, saying, "Me? You're
telling ME not to make snide comments?" then Clay and Sunny stop them
from fighting.

She and the dragonets decide to meet with the current queen for advice
on the Web's injury. Queen Magnificent advises them to ask the healers
for advice, though it is unlikely they would be able to cure it due to
the RainWings' lack of knowledge about curing SandWing venom.

She and the dragonets look for the monster who has been making several
RainWings disappear. They find a strange, dark hole, and Mangrove
quickly leaps through it to try to find Orchid. The dragonets, along
with Jambu, Glory's older brother, also come through the NightWing
tunnels|tunnel to find and bring back Mangrove.

They arrive in the Kingdom of Sand and head to the Ice Kingdom to see if
Blaze is holding the RainWings prisoner and to meet her. Soon, while
Tsunami and the other dragonets are sleeping, Glory wanders off to
investigate some smoke, disguised as an IceWing. She finds a NightWing
named Deathbringer, who plans to kill her and most of her friends, the
dragonets of the prophecy. She arrives back to warn the others, but she
is still disguised as an IceWing and made Starflight jump up, and the
other dragonets as well. Tsunami tells Glory severely that she nearly
hit her with her tail, and Glory tells her that she nearly bit her snout
when she was snoring. Then she and the dragonets finally decide that
Jambu should accompany Glory to infiltrate Blaze's fortress to find
Mangrove and (possibly) the prisoners. Glory, Jambu, and Mangrove bring
back Blaze to meet the dragonets. Jambu and Mangrove head back to the
Rainforest Kingdom. Suddenly, Deathbringer attempts to assassinate
Blaze. He only scrapes her neck and injures Tsunami's wing, but he is
then chased away by the dragonets. Queen Glacier and some IceWings are
seen arriving at their location. They leave for the tunnel, leaving
Blaze for the IceWings to tend to her neck wound.

The dragonets arrive in the Rainforest Kingdom again and hear a dragon
stamping in the undergrowth. Tsunami attempts to attack the dragon but
is distracted by Deathbringer whistling the dragonets' song. Glory
decides to use herself as bait once her friends have left to tell the
others. The monster is revealed to be the NightWing tribe (when Glory
gets captured by them), who captured RainWings and took them to their
NightWing island|secret island home to research their venom. With the
help of Clay and Deathbringer, Glory escapes with Kinkajou. They return
to the rainforest and go to alert the others while Deathbringer stays
behind.

After seeing that Magnificent would not rescue the RainWings, Glory
challenges to kill her for the throne. However, Handsome insists on
following an Dragon_royalty#Royal_Challenges|old RainWing tradition,
a series of RainWing competitions. Glory is forced to pick out her team
when Magnificent states that Queen Exquisite, Queen Grandeur, Queen
Dazzling, and Queen Fruit Bat are also queens and that they should
participate as well. Glory selects Kinkajou, Jambu, Mangrove, and
Tamarin for her team.

Glory ultimately wins the competition and becomes the new queen of the
RainWings. Glory ask Tsunami to help her train her RainWings into
becoming an army to help rescue the captured RainWings.

left The Dark Secret
Starflight used a Animus enchantments#Treasure|dreamvisitor to visit
Tsunami's dream. There, he witnessed her having a nightmare about
Anemone turning evil and killing their father. Glory had Tsunami train
the RainWings for the upcoming war with the NightWings — a task that was
nowhere close to easy because of their lazy behavior. She was overjoyed
when Starflight returned to the group and aided in freeing the RainWings
from the NightWing island.

left The Brightest Night

Tsunami first appeared, bursting out of the tunnel to the
volcano and yelling at everybody to back up as Clay hurriedly brings
Starflight through. After Sunny was kidnapped, she is mentioned when
Sunny notes that she could not hear Tsunami yelling orders anymore. She
is later seen when the three NightWings use the Obsidian Mirror to spy
on Glory, and she says that Sunny is way too cheerful to notice the
prophecy was fake. This causes indignation from Sunny, who is
automatically annoyed by her friends' lack of understanding. When Sunny
returned from SandWing stronghold|Burn's stronghold and Jade Mountain,
Tsunami was battle training some RainWings. Once Tsunami sees Sunny, she
hugs her and yells at her for worrying her. Sunny explains where she had
been in the healer's hut with Starflight, Clay, Glory, and Tsunami,
telling her entire adventure and eventually her official idea. Later,
Tsunami comes with Sunny and Ochre to find the Talons of Peace to get
through to Blister. Tsunami then meets Riptide again, and he says he
will be at the stronghold. She appears at the final showdown, being one
of the dragons to hold down Clay as Peril burned out the poison. In the
epilogue, she was seen discussing the idea of Jade Mountain Academy with
her fellow dragonets, suggesting to invite Anemone and Auklet.

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Moon Rising
She
was first seen when Moonwatcher arrived at the school with Secretkeeper,
greeting Coral, Anemone, and Auklet as they come by to drop Anemone off.
This was when she first met her brother, Turtle, and was briefly angry
with her mother for failing to mention his existence, along with
thirty-one of his brothers. She was delighted to see them and bustles
them back into the cave. She was later seen in the Jade Winglet meeting
room, where she revealed that she was chosen by the other dragonets to
be the headmistress of the school. She then claimed that no one should
argue with her, refusing Winter's request to a separate cave, and
declared they go hunting. When the topic of NightWings was brought up,
she mentally agreed with their negative statements but tried to avoid
the conversation for the sake of Moon, jumping up to take the Jade
Winglet hunting.

left Winter Turning

Tsunami was first mentioned when Winter remembers how Scarlet asked for
the dragonets of destiny's lives in return for Hailstorm's. Winter then
thinks to himself that Tsunami had been one of the dragons who had
confirmed that the NightWings had no more powers.

Riptide later mentioned her when Winter, Moonwatcher, Kinkajou, and
Qibli found the Talons of Peace, asking if Tsunami had a message for
him.

left Escaping Peril

Tsunami accompanied Clay and Sunny when Queen Ruby came to collect
Carnelian's body. When one of Ruby's guards accused Peril of killing
Carnelian, Tsunami firmly states that it was a fire that killed
Carnelian, not Peril, even though she does not "like Peril any more than
you do." When Ex-Queen Scarlet threw the false Glory head at the
dragonets, she shot after Scarlet as fast as she could.

Later, Nautilus mentioned that Tsunami was hunting for Scarlet along
with Riptide and his group. Turtle asked them to tell her that it was
not Glory's real head and that Glory was fine.

left Talons of Power
Tsunami has a conversation with Sunny, overheard by Turtle. They were
talking about how Thorn lost some prisoners (confirmed to be Fierceteeth
and Strongwings). She stated that she does not like prophecies, finding
them complicated, unnecessary, and most of all, overly cryptic and
mysterious. When Tsunami saw Turtle, she expressed her surprise and joy
while Sunny told her to calm down. Later, Anemone mentioned Tsunami's
name when she lists the dragons whom she thought were a threat to her
to-be throne.

left
Darkness of Dragons
When it was revealed to the staff that Ostrich was missing, Tsunami
began ranting about how disastrous the school has gone, saying it should
not be so hard to sit in a classroom and learn. She yelled at Qibli for
running off with the rest of his Winglet, and when he defended himself,
bringing up the prophecy, she refused to listen. She argued that Qibli
should not leave school and no one should be allowed to. She quickly and
eagerly agreed with the idea to message Darkstalker for help while Qibli
runs off to find Ostrich. She was also given one of Qibli's earrings.
Later on, it was revealed in the Obsidian Mirror that she was captured
by an unknown dragon and was trapped somewhere. Towards the end,
Fatespeaker and Starflight went to rescue Tsunami. She was mentioned in
the NightWing palace dungeons where Qibli and Hope|Foeslayer had met,
with Foeslayer confirming Tsunami's location in a cave somewhere in the
rainforest and handing him a scrap of paper which had Tsunami's location
written on it. Foeslayer said that she had intercepted the SeaWing
dragonet on her way to the rainforest and also mentioned that Tsunami
had been a bit 'shouty.' In the epilogue, she was mentioned to have been
rescued and was back at Jade Mountain.

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left
The Hive Queen
In the prologue,
Qibli gets Tsunami and Turtle to meet Moonwatcher and Luna. Moon's The
Lost Continent Prophecy|prophecy is spoken, and Tsunami gets frustrated
and says she wants nothing more to do with prophecies. Qibli then
suggests that the two SeaWings can swim to Pantala.

She later appears in the epilogue alongside Turtle. They had just
finished swimming to Pantala. Tsunami mentioned that the two of them had
a small panic attack in the middle of the ocean. According to the décor,
they had just arrived in the Poison Jungle. The siblings almost got
attacked by a large poisonous snake, but they were saved by Willow, a
LeafWing.

left The Poison Jungle

Tsunami and Turtle are residing in the SapWing village in
Sequoia's residence when Sundew first encounters them. Turtle has become
ill from drinking too much river water, but Tsunami is still alert and
active and is apparently on friendly terms with Willow. Later, when the
threat of the imminent HiveWing invasion is announced, Tsunami is
present to hear Sequoia recall the Legend of the Hive. While Sundew,
Cricket, Bumblebee, Nettle, and Mandrake are sent to the Eye of the
jungle to find Hawthorn, Tsunami stays behind to recount everything she
has learned about the current situation to her friends in Jade Mountain
Academy, using a dreamvisitor, which Cricket finds fascinating.
Afterward, she also studied the Book of Clearsight with Turtle to see if
they could find something on Pyrrhia but were unsuccessful. After Sundew
and her friends return from the Eye of the jungle with Hawthorn, Hazel
discovers a map by Clearsight that shows Pantala and Pyrrhia, as well as
the islands between them. When the remaining LeafWings and SilkWings
leave Pantala, she and Turtle go with them, guiding them to the islands
on Clearsight's map as they make their way to Pyrrhia.

left
The Dangerous Gift
Tsunami was seen
arriving with the Pantalan dragons as they landed in the Ice Kingdom,
much to Snowfall's anger and suspicions. There, she met up with Snowfall
and called her the queen of grumps, to which Lynx told Tsunami that she
was a great queen, and that nobody invited her to come to the Ice
Kingdom to insult Snowfall. When Hazel asked Tsunami to lead them
elsewhere, she suggested going to Jerboa's hut, where Moon and Luna
were, and shots Snowfall a disgusted look while saying that Thorn would
have known "how to treat a group of harmless, tired, sad dragons."
Tsunami was then mentioned to have gone back out to sea to retrieve
their makeshift rafts, along with Lynx and a few other dragons. Upon
arriving at Sanctuary, Tsunami and Riptide both tried to hug each other
before Tsunami told Riptide about the new dragons in Sanctuary. Later,
when all the queens arrived at Sanctuary, Tsunami stood up to silence
the council, then proceeded to recount what had happened previously with
Luna and her journey. When electing a dragon from each tribe to go on
the journey from Pyrrhia to Pantala, Tsunami volunteered herself to be
the SeaWing representative. Near the end of the book, it is said that
the team had left for Pantala.

left
The Flames of Hope
Tsunami was first
seen showing Cricket how to use a dreamvisitor on the beach near Jerboa
III's hut. She then showed Luna how to use it. Then Tsunami, along with
the rest of the stealth team, took off towards Pantala. She estimated
that they will arrive on Pantala in around two days. The stealth team
was then suddenly attacked by a group of mind-controlled HiveWings.
While the rest of the stealth team stayed hidden with IceWing gifts|gift
of stealth, Tsunami, along with Qibli and Pineapple, attacked the
HiveWings. This, unfortunately, resulted in them getting knocked
unconscious and dragged back to the Hives. The remaining members of the
stealth team decided to split up into two groups as a result; one group
would rescue the captured stealth team while the other group would wait
on Pantala.

Tsunami later appeared again in Queen Wasp's throne room, along with
Qibli and Pineapple, bound and gagged. When asked about Sundew's
whereabouts by Cottonmouth, Tsunami refused to tell him anything. Qibli
kept taunting Cottonmouth during their conversation, which annoyed
Tsunami. While Wasp was distracted, Pineapple managed to hit Wasp with
his venom, giving Tsunami and the others the chance to escape from Wasp
Hive.

The group headed towards Lake Scorpion by Pineapple's (who was possessed
by Cottonmouth at the time) suggestion. On their way, they spotted a
fire on the ground. They went to investigate it when they were greeted
by Sundew, Moonwatcher and Lynx. The six of them decided to go find the
abyss to meet with their other friends. While the group were taking a
rest, Moon discovered that Pineapple was being mind-controlled while she
was reading his mind. The rest of the stealth team were alerted of this
and immediately sprung into battle ready stances. Before they could
leave, Cottonmouth threatened to kill Luna if they did not meet his
demands. He offered to let Luna go, in exchange for one of the other
stealth members. Tsunami, Lynx, and Qibli objected to the plan while
Sundew agreed to it, offering to deliver herself to Cottonmouth. The
stealth team eventually agreed to this, allowing Cottonmouth to lead
them to the abyss.

During this, Luna had the idea to share the rest of the stealth team's
memories with Freedom. Through Moonwatcher, they were able to share the
memories with Freedom. In Tsunami's memory, a younger Tsunami and Glory
were arguing over whether the Kingdom of Sand or Sky Kingdom was the
larger kingdom. In order to stop their fight, Clay stated that it did
not matter which kingdom was the bigger one; only the kingdom with the
best food mattered.

After they reached Lake Scorpion, a fight then ensued between the
stealth team and Cottonmouth's dragons.

### Anemone

When they first met, Tsunami was initially jealous of Anemone, thinking
about how she would have had the same matching throne and pearls if the
Talons of Peace had not stolen her egg. She simply viewed her as a rival
to the throne, someone who she could easily kill, though she felt guilty
for thinking about something like that on her first meeting with her
family. Though, Tsunami quickly warmed up to Anemone. Anemone laughed at
Tsunami mocking Whirlpool, a shared dislike they both have towards him.
Tsunami is determined that no one will ever, ever hurt Anemone, not
while she is around, and she feels nearly protective enough to protect
Anemone in the same way that Coral did as the dragonet was growing up.
She is physically affectionate towards her younger sister, and would
have accepted her into the dragonets of destiny without care for how
much danger it would cause. Tsunami believes that Anemone has all of
Coral's good qualities and believes that she will be a good queen one
day. She deeply worries about the wellbeing of her sister, having
nightmares about her going insane. After Anemone used her weather
bracelets to impress Darkstalker, Tsunami immediately grew worried for
her soul and defended her when Darkstalker said he knew what she did to
Whirlpool.

### Auklet

Tsunami vowed to protect Auklet's egg by any means, and she was pleased
when Clay stated they shared the same snout shape. She is proud of
Auklet. They have a good relationship. When Auklet came with Queen Coral
to the school, Tsunami was overjoyed to see her.

### Clay

Clay is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. Tsunami often defended Clay
against Kestrel's harsh training and words. Tsunami was not surprised by
Clay's explanation of his attack on their eggs, as she never believed he
tried to kill them in the first place. Tsunami described Clay as being
one of the most trustworthy of the dragonets of destiny. She wants the
best for him and would fight for his safety, and she loves many things
about him. She considers him to be the heart of the dragonets of
destiny, and believed that the prophecy could not be fulfilled without
him. He was happy to see her after they were separated in the Kingdom of
the Sea, and she felt warm and happy to be with him again. They are
physically affectionate towards one another, and she feels happy and
calm around him. She is very important to him, and she considers him to
be family.

### Coral

Coral is Tsunami's mother. While Tsunami mostly adores her mother, she
often questions Coral's ruling and judgment. Tsunami believes that some
of the queen's ways are scary and harsh, such as slaughtering her guards
brutally and publicly to punish them. But overall, it is shown that they
love each other and Queen Coral cares for her very much.

### Deathbringer

Tsunami distrusts Deathbringer, possibly because he once threw a sharp
disk through her wing and threatened to kill the dragonets of destiny.
Despite this, she has some respect for him. She rolled her eyes when she
saw the look he gave Glory, possibly indicating that she does not
approve of their relationship.

### Gill

Tsunami snapped Gill's neck in the SkyWing arena, not knowing that he
was her father until Coral told her. Before she learned Gill was her
father, she tried to hide how rattled she was about his death. Tsunami
was somewhat sure that she had not wanted kill Gill initially, but
believed she had no other choice. She found it easier to not think of
Gill as a real dragon due to his loss of sanity. When she found out that
they were related, she was overcome with guilt. She tried to justify
Gill's death in her head before realizing that she had killed Gill out
of impulse and a want to prove something to Scarlet. In The Dark Secret,
Tsunami is shown to have a nightmare about killing him. She sadly
thought of him as one of the dragons who did not make it to the end of
the war.

### Glory

Glory is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. Although Tsunami considers
Glory to be the most dangerous and the least trustworthy of the
dragonets of destiny, Tsunami wants what is best for her and would fight
for her. She appreciates Glory attacking Scarlet to save them, but is
bitter that the dragonets do not consider Tsunami's own violent actions
to be in the same light. She considers Glory family, and Glory is often
teasing towards her. They sometimes display physical affection, although
not often. Tsunami believes Glory is scary and tough like a real queen,
though she would never admit it out loud to Glory. As young dragonets,
Tsunami slung one wing around Glory and joked that Clay would have to
stop Tsunami from murdering her.

### Kestrel

When Sunny began crying after learning of Kestrel's death, Tsunami
stated that Kestrel was unkind and did not deserve Sunny's grief. She
was not a good parent, but she was one of the only parents that Tsunami
ever knew.

### Peril

Tsunami was initially very wary and mistrusting of Peril, as she killed
many dragons with her firescales, not bothering to stand up against
Scarlet and fight back. When Peril tried to burn her chains, Tsunami was
hesitant. She has also considered Peril as a maniac. In The Brightest
Night, when Peril saved Clay by burning out the poison, Tsunami was
speechless yet grateful. However, when Clay suggested they invited Peril
to their school, Tsunami was worried about the idea. In Moon Rising,
Tsunami suspected Peril of setting off the bomb that killed Carnelian
and Bigtail. In Escaping Peril, Tsunami was still shown to lack trust
towards Peril, admitting to Ruby that she did not like the SkyWing.
Despite this, she does not wish harm to Peril.

### Riptide

Riptide is supportive of Tsunami, and he is physically affectionate
towards her. Riptide's whole face lit up when Tsunami was mentioned, and
Moonwatcher said that Tsunami thinks of Riptide all the time, and wants
to hear from him. She makes him nervous, but she genuinely likes him,
and hoped to see him again after their initial meeting. She likes having
him around her, and although her first instinct was to yell at him for
lying about the identity of his father, he looks at her without any
expectation of her becoming queen or any judgement about her murder of
Gill; he only sees her as a dragon whom he likes very much. After she
reassured him physically, Tsunami felt something tingle in the air
between them. He helped her to forget about Gill's death for a while,
and he took her front talons in his before they parted. He told her to
be careful and that he would be close, if she needed him. Tsunami
considered him to be someone that she could trust, but after discovering
that he had lied to her about his affiliation with the Talons of Peace,
her trust was broken in him, and she wondered if she could believe
anything he said. After he apologized to her, she was unsure about her
forgiveness towards her, but she still wanted a chance to decide. She
wanted him to survive the War of SandWing Succession, and she wanted to
meet him again after it was over. When they saw each other in The
Dangerous Gift, the two awkwardly tried to hug each other and clearly
have feelings for one another.

### Starflight

Starflight is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. After being temporarily
captured by Morrowseer, it seemed to Tsunami that Starflight wanted to
argue with her about everything, despite her wanting what is best for
him and her willingness to fight for him. Most of the time, Tsunami felt
bad for Starflight due to his lack of bravery, fighting skills and
NightWing powers. However, Tsunami believed that he knew more than any
other dragon on Pyrrhia. She is physically affectionate towards him, and
sometimes wishes that she were more like him. She believes in his
efforts to be brave and helpful, and considers him family. She did not
think Starflight would ever betray them and had argued with Glory for an
entire day about it. She was overjoyed when Starflight managed to escape
the NightWing Island.

### Sunny

Sunny is one of Tsunami's dearest friends. Tsunami considers Sunny to be
one of the most trustworthy of the dragonets of destiny, and she would
fight for and wants the best for Sunny. She considers Sunny family, like
a sister; however, she is also sarcastic toward Sunny on occasion.

### Turtle

Turtle is one of Tsunami's thirty-two brothers. Tsunami is surprised
about this at first but quickly grows to love her brother, saying that
he is "probably the best of them," since he was the only one who came to
Jade Mountain Academy. He is one of the only brothers that she has
actually met in person. Whenever she sees him, she seems to either be
relieved or happy. The two of them swam to Pantala together in the
epilogue of The Hive Queen.

### Webs

Despite him being the only other SeaWing she knew as a dragonet, Tsunami
was never close to Webs. While she appreciated that he was the only
guardian who actually cared about the dragonets, she thought he should
have tried harder to protect them. She was also angry with Webs for
stealing her egg, as she believes he had cheated her of her life as a
princess in the Sea Kingdom. She later learnt that she would never had
her life as a princess because she would have been killed before she
hatched by the assassin (Orca's enchanted statue) and that Webs had
actually indirectly saved her.

### Whirlpool

Tsunami would never marry Whirlpool, a feeling that was mutual. She
considers him awful and annoying, and stated that he was a horrible
teacher.

I didn't think knowing who she was would explain anything.

Well, except she didn't tell me about the stealth RainWing

Where have you BEEN? Do you know how WORRIED we've been? How
could you DO that to us? I was so sure that the NightWings did something
to you that I nearly threw them all back to the volcano! We've had
search parties out every day, but not ONE SIGN of you ANYWHERE! Not
even Deathbringer, well, he said he smelled you over to the west, but
who trusts him, NOT ME IS WHO. I haven't slept in days, Sunny! DAYS!

I'm afraid if I go home, Mother will somehow get a harness on
me, or at least watch me every moment of the day. And it'll be easier to
learn Aquatic here than in the Deep Palace, where there would be a
million eyes on me all the time and hardly any chances to come up the
surface to talk. […] Worse, no one could understand me. How would I
boss anyone around?

I can make a stab at comforting! […] Let me try … um … hey,
it's only two dragons, right? Ah, they won't be able to do anything.
Deathbringer will totally stop them if they go anywhere near her. I
mean, that is his entire purpose in life, as far as I can tell. And if
they kill him, Glory will take them down with her magical death spit. So
don't worry, pat pat pat.

We swam. […] SeaWings can breathe underwater. So we'd swim
until we got tired, take a nap at the bottom of the sea, eat some fish,
and then keep going. It felt like heading off the edge of the world. For
most of the trip, we couldn't see any land in any direction — maybe an
island in the distance unless we were hallucinating those. But we were
trying to stay on a course due west, following the stars if my brother
has any idea what he's talking about. It took us about four days of
almost nonstop swimming, but I bet I could have done it in three by
myself. I'm not sure if Turtle is really sick or just still recovering
from all that exercise.

## Trivia

  - Tsunami's gills flutter when she is angry.
  - Tsunami is tone-deaf.
  - On the cover of The Lost Heir, Tsunami has blue eyes,[1] although
    she is described to have green eyes. She is also missing the
    patterns of spirals under her wings, which is a characteristic of
    the royal family. This is a mistake made with Anemone on the
    hardcover for Talons of Power, as well.
  - Tsunami likes her name because she considers it to be fierce and
    scary. She likes Riptide's name for the same reason.
  - Tsunami had brief crushes on Clay and Starflight when she was
    younger, but she quickly grew out of it since she realized
    Starflight was too annoying and Clay treated the other dragonets of
    destiny like siblings.
  - Tsunami only likes reading if the scroll is exciting or has female
    warrior dragons in them.
  - Tsunami dislikes rain. This is a feeling she shares with her
    brother, Turtle, and several other SeaWings.
  - In The Flames of Hope, Tsunami was described as having blue blood
    multiple times, despite IceWings being the only tribe with blue
    blood. This was corrected in later printings.
  - When she and her friends still lived underground, Tsunami's solution
    to everything was "jump in the river".
  - Tsunami's favorite scroll is The Missing Princess because it would
    make her think about returning home.
