'Wren' is a young female human and one of
the three protagonists of Dragonslayer. She was raised in the village of
Talisman. She can speak Languages#Dragon|Dragon very fluently, due to
learning it from Sky.

## Description

Wren has dark curly hair and tree-bark brown eyes. She was described to
have freckles all across her nose and arms. For the first part of
Dragonslayer, she wore a blue dress and had her hair pinned up. When she
arrives in the Indestructible City, she is seen wearing dark green
pants, a moss green tunic, fawn brown boots, and a soft wool cloak dyed
the grey of a stormy sky. Whilst searching for Sky, she obtains a sword
which she carries strapped to her back.

## Personality

Wren is brave and disobedient, being described as "having a
Dragons|dragon's temper." She was never polite and rarely good. Wren is
shown to be quite fierce when she needs to be, and is also arrogant, as
seen when she thought Snowfall was scared of her. She shows distaste for
humanity after the dragonmancers tried to sacrifice her to the dragons
for treasure, knowing that humans would have rather believed in obvious
lies than save an innocent life. Wren is more compassionate towards
dragons and would rather be with them over humans. As such, she is not
interested in visiting human villages unless she needed to trade. The
only thing she misses about human civilization is reading.

She also has a love for travelling and exploring the world. Throughout
the years, she traveled across Pyrrhia alongside Sky and is considerably
knowledgeable about geography. Because of her freedom through
travelling, Wren does not like being exposed and having nowhere to hide.
She likes to be left alone. Luna believed that Wren could probably bring
down a Hive on her own if she had fire and talons. Though she was
fearless, she still held herself in a watchful and cautious way.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left
The Dangerous Gift
Wren appeared
when she and Sky helped rescue Daffodil from the scavenger enclosure in
Sanctuary. After Snowfall confronted them, she revealed to her that she
could speak Dragon, much to the queen's shock. When Snowfall asked if
Daffodil could speak their language too, Wren said that she would if she
had paid attention and studied more, sounding annoyed by it.

After Snowfall fainted, having another vision, Wren bragged that the
dragon was terrified of her and was confused when Snowfall understood
her for a moment. After Snowfall mentioned that she wanted to show the
humans to the others, Wren declined, thinking that the dragons would
just eat them, and said that she just wanted to be left alone, but she
was eventually persuaded to follow the queen back.

The group returned to the enclosure where the other dragons were
waiting. While she was a little irritated with the amount of dragons
present, she nevertheless told every other dragon present that she could
speak Dragon, surprising them. After Snowfall told the others about the
Pantala#The Abyss|abyss, Qibli suggested bringing Wren and Sky with
them to communicate with the humans in Pantala. Wren initially refused,
saying that Sky was not much of a fighter and expressed concern that he
would be taken over by the breath of evil. Snowfall convinced her to
come with them by saying that her and the other queens would pass an
edict forbidding dragons from hunting and eating humans in exchange for
her help, with Wren adding that keeping humans as pets should be
forbidden as well. When Winter realized that Smolder has been keeping
Rose as a pet for years, Wren told him not to worry about her since she
was happy to be with the prince.

After Snowfall destroyed the gift of order and talked with Opal, Lynx
was mentioned to be flying with the other :Category:Stealth
team|representatives to Pantala, with Wren among them.

The Flames of Hope
Wren first
appeared when Pineapple and Sky searched for marine life on the beach
near Jerboa III's Jerboa III's hut|hut.

A few days after leaving Pyrrhia for Pantala, the Representatives were
ambushed by dragons controlled by Wasp on an island, including Earwig.
Wren and Sky hid in the island's forest, as Wren explained in the
ambush's aftermath that Sky was terrified of fighting.

Wren was among the group including Luna, Cricket, Bullfrog, and Sky that went into the abyss and waited for Sundew's
IceWing gifts|gift of stealth to wear off. The first human the group
encountered in the abyss was Axolotl, who resided in Dragonfly Bay
village|a nearby village. Three days after their arrival on Pantala,
Sundew's enchantment wore off, and Axolotl ran in terror at the sight of
the dragons. Wren followed Axolotl to the village to assure them that
the dragons weren't dangerous, and later met and convinced Ocelot to let
Axolotl travel with the group.

As Axolotl lead the group to the abyss, they encountered Pokeweed who
brought them to the SilkWing refugee camp where they met Tau and the
other SilkWings hiding in the caverns.

The next day, Wren went with the group of dragons down to the abyss
where she encountered Vole. When Dusky was kidnapped by Raven and Mole,
Wren chased after them and tried to get them to give Dusky back. While
Luna and Dusky were in the abyss, Wren taught Axolotl some dragon.

Wren was waiting at the top of the abyss when Luna and Dusky escaped and
was with them when they left the caves. Wren was also with Luna when she
reunited with Swordtail and her family.

### Legends

left
Dragonslayer
Wren was a human born
in Talisman, but when she was seven, she was sacrificed to the dragons
because she read a book featuring information about the illegal acts of
the dragonmancers. She managed to free herself from the ropes that were
supposed to prevent her from escaping and rescued Sky, a mountain
dragon, from a bush. She hid him from Kestrel, who had tried to kill
him. Sky and Wren became friends. Soon, they began teaching each other
their respective languages.

While traveling through the mountains, they stumbled upon the cave that
the dragonets of destiny grew up in, spotting the dragonets through what
may be the sky hole. By then, Wren and Sky could already communicate in
broken sentences. A year and a half later, she tried to get into the
Indestructible City and met a boy named Undauntable and his cat named
Dragon.

Eight years later, Wren and Sky traveled to a dragon city (the Scorpion
Den), where Sky was captured by General Sandstorm, and Wren left to find
and rescue Sky. During her quest, Wren learned that Sky was being held
at SandWing stronghold|Burn's stronghold and encountered Deathbringer
(mistaking his name to be Murderbasket), who was traveling to the Ice
Kingdom under orders to assassinate Glory, Starflight, and Tsunami. Wren
asked Deathbringer to put his mission on hold to fly her to the Kingdom
of Sand to rescue Sky. He, believing that she is some hallucination,
agreed. After Deathbringer dropped Wren off, she snuck into the
stronghold where she encountered Rose, another human who was Ivy's aunt,
who was left behind when Stone and Heath killed Queen Oasis.

Rose led Wren to Sky, and with help from Smolder, the duo escaped from
the stronghold. Nearby, Wren was reunited with her brother Leaf, who was
accompanied by Ivy.

The three then returned to Valor and Talisman to expose the truths that
had been hidden from them as children, using Sky to scare the humans
into doing what they wanted them to.

## Relationships

### Deathbringer

When Wren first met Deathbringer, whom she referred to as
"Murderbasket," she tried to convince him to take her to the SandWing
palace and accidentally stabbed his talon twice with her dagger.
Deathbringer is her second 'favorite dragon.'

### Leaf

Leaf is Wren's brother, and the two were very close until the
dragonmancers attempted to sacrifice Wren to the dragons. After that,
they did not see each other for roughly seven years. Sometimes, when
Wren could not help it, she thought about Leaf, prompting that he was
the only person she liked in the whole of Talisman. When she met Leaf
again, she was shocked and delighted that her older brother, whom have
carved her a snail when they were younger, traveled around the world,
trained to become a dragonslayer, and rode a dragon just to find her
again and avenge her.

### Rose

Wren met Rose in the kitchen of Burn's Stronghold. Rose stated she was
overexcited to have a conversation with her since she had not talked to
a human in years, especially a person who has the ability to speak
Dragon. Rose helped Wren collect mouse poison to kill Sandstorm, while
Wren trusted Rose enough to tell her about Sky, and even thinking of her
as a friend.

### Sky

Wren found Sky as a newly hatched dragonet and saved him after Kestrel
attempted to drown him. She relates to him through the fact that they
were both abandoned by their kind. The two spent most of their life
avoiding people and dragons in favor of growing up alone, traveling
around Pyrrhia together.

Wren often goes into extreme lengths to ensure Sky's safety, even
murdering a grown dragon and diving into the midst of a dragon war to
save him. She constantly worries about him throughout the book, caring
deeply when he felt insecure about his loss of normal dragon abilities.
Sky playfully teases Wren on multiple occasions and calls her his "pet"
when other dragons interrogate him.

### Undauntable

Wren first meets Prince Undauntable when she goes to the Indestructible
City. Wren shows no interest in him, thinking he is arrogant, spoiled,
and rude. However, Undauntable likes Wren, and each time she comes to
the city, Undauntable begs for her to stay. When they are fourteen, he
asks her to marry him, but Wren simply turns him down.

## Quotes

I bet they didn't! […] I bet the dragons don't even care!
[…] They'd eat anyone they found all tied up! If they could choose,
they'd pick someone bigger and yummier than me. Like Camellia! She
would make a much better sacrifice to the dragons! Why didn't they pick
her?
thinking about why the dragons chose her

Stop crying. So people are terrible and can't be trusted. That
shouldn't be such a big surprise, Wren. They've never stood up for you
before. Nobody cares about you and so you shouldn't care about them
either. Well, I think I shall NOT get eaten. […] That will SHOW THEM.
I don't need a village! Or parents! Or any of them! I'm smarter than
all of them and smarter than the dragons, too! I don't have to be
someone's breakfast if I decide not to be. So there!

I think that was a yes. Hello, Sky. When you grow up, will you

pet dragon is going to eat YOU, take THAT!
