Top 10 Best Wings of Fire Characters

Glory, or rather Queen Glory, is an amazing dragon who I really appreciate. Fine, she can be sarcastic and kind of rude sometimes, but who can blame her? Glory was raised being consistently told she was lazy, useless, and not worth anything. That would make anybody bitter.

But deep down, Glory is a selfless dragon who loves and will fight for the dragons she cares about. Unlike impulsive Tsunami (who I actually like more than Glory, but I like Glory too), she will actually think things through and not just rush into things. She has excellent leadership skills and is therefore a great queen. She is fair, just, and assertive, but still caring, intelligent, and kind.

Glory will defend the dragons she loves with all she has. Underneath her indifferent, sarcastic outer layer, she is so much more. Also, to the people who say she took over the NightWings unfairly by saying, "Live under my rule or die," at least she was kind enough to let them live in the rainforest instead of just killing them all for trying to destroy and torture her tribe.

Maple, the SkyWing-LeafWing

Ok, so Tsunami is the absolute best character in my opinion, but she is kind of bossy and sarcastic (not as much as Glory, though). Tsunami is a good dragon who deserves to be queen. She may be tone-deaf, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Tsunami will fight for her friends and family. She has killed a dragon before (and maybe even more than one - she could have killed a few in the RainWing-NightWing war), but that doesn't mean she's terrible or gruesome.

Overall, I think Tsunami is a great character and a great leader.

Fauna the Lifewing

Sunny is not only positive but has faith in others, especially her family.

She's also smarter than most give her credit for and a quick thinker. She recognized Thorn would be the best queen of the standings when most thought the choice had to be between the feuding royal family.

Her bestowing the amulet to Thorn was the most creative and best decision that could have been made.

I love Sunny because she always cares about saving the world. I LOVE her - she literally did most of the work to save the world.

She is SUCH a hard worker. For some reason, I just fell in love with her. She went out alone to save the world, and that bravery is incredible.

NOTHING can change my mind about it!

I can't express my feelings about this character. She's just so misunderstood. She got judged for something she was forced to do. For example, Queen Ruby exiled Peril because she was too "dangerous." Like, excuse me? If she wasn't alive, your dear little Sunny would be a decapitated head! And never mind that the war would not have ended!

I agree with almost everything about Peril. I feel sorry for her.

Almost everyone born during the time of the SandWing succession had to at least try to kill someone, but Peril is blamed for killing dragons. Look at Icicle or Burn!

It wasn't Peril's choice to become the way she is. It wasn't her choice to have too much fire. This is part of the reason I hate Tsunami.

I felt bad for her when I read Moon Rising. Everyone kind of just misunderstood her. Sure, she wasn't nearly as misunderstood as Peril, but everyone was hating on her when she revealed her powers.

I'm happy that everyone forgave her.

In my opinion, Moonwatcher is undoubtedly the best character in the "Wings of Fire" series and any book because of her deep empathy and unique abilities. Her mind-reading and future-seeing powers add layers of complexity to her character, making her struggles and growth profoundly compelling.

Moon's journey from a cautious, secretive dragon to a confident hero who embraces her abilities to help others is inspiring. Her ability to understand and feel others' emotions deeply makes her a relatable and endearing character, while her bravery and intelligence showcase her as a true role model.

Moonwatcher's blend of vulnerability, strength, and compassion sets her apart as a truly exceptional character.

I love Kinkajou. Most people think she is dumb and crazy, but she did turn Darkstalker into Peacemaker, so she is very smart.

She also saved Silver, Glory's sloth. She's so brave! I think people should see her as a strong, smart, and good character.

Kinkajou is an amazing character, but her potential was barely even explored. Usually, I'm very irritated with characters like her, who seem so happy and optimistic for no reason. But the more I think about it, the more I realize how complex she is.

Saying she's annoying is your opinion, but the fact is that she's not only a great and loyal friend but also just a good dragon all around. She would literally risk her life to save someone she barely knew, and this is even more impressive considering how much trauma she's gone through. If you find her annoying, don't blame the character. Blame the author for not developing her enough.

Okay, so she wasn't nice at all. That's okay, she still gets my vote because of how interesting she is. I mean, when she finally got control over her powers, she kind of went crazy, but you forget that she was only a tiny kid. I'd say eight or nine in human years.

Also, she grew up really spoiled, so you can imagine that her mind immediately went to infinite necklaces. The love spell was a bit too much, although I'm sure she only thought she was helping with her brother's love life. She is such an interesting character, albeit not a very noble one.

Starflight is my second favorite character. I just love him, and I feel really bad for him.

First, he was blinded. Then, a few days later, he found out the love of his life loved him as a brother. Imagine if you were in that situation!

Basically, just a good character.

Starflight is like the brain of the dragonets' destiny. Without him, they would be stuck - whether in the Seawing prison, Nightwing prison, or Skywing prison. Who knows? I really wish he could have gotten together with Sunny, but it wouldn't have made sense with their family situation.

Alright, let's talk about Sundew from Wings of Fire because I honestly feel like she doesn't get enough love, and it's time we all recognize just how amazing she is. Sundew is one of the most dynamic and underrated characters in the entire series, and I'm here to explain why she's way more than just a tough, prickly dragon with plant powers. There's so much more to her than people realize, and it drives me crazy how often she gets overlooked.

First of all, Sundew is strong in ways people don't fully appreciate. Yes, she's physically strong - sure, she has those amazing vine powers and the whole "spikes coming out of her back" thing (which is honestly so cool). But what really makes Sundew a standout character is the strength of her heart. She doesn't just throw herself into battle like some of the other dragons in the series - she's deeply invested in her tribe and her beliefs. She's willing to fight for what she believes in, even when it's not popular or when the odds are stacked against her.

When she first appears, it's easy to think she's just another tough warrior, but what people often miss is that she's fighting for something deeper than just herself - she's fighting for her tribe, for the future of the RainWings, and for the survival of the world. She's not just angry for the sake of being angry, like some characters (cough Tsunami cough). She has a purpose. Her passion for what she believes in is both inspiring and incredibly admirable.

Speaking of her passion, Sundew is incredibly principled. Yeah, she might come off as stubborn or prickly sometimes, but there's a reason for that. She's been through a lot, and she's learned the hard way that the world is unfair and harsh. So, she's developed this hard exterior to protect herself. But underneath that, she has this deep commitment to her values. Sundew is not the kind of dragon who is going to bend to anyone's will, especially if it goes against her morals.

She stands her ground,... more

A lot like Moon, except with a different hidden power. Even if Coral apologized to all her children for neglecting them, I still think it took her way too long to get around to it. As far as I could tell, she still wasn't too fond of Tsunami and was still a lot clingy and overbearing.

He really deserved better. Having a tiny child have to hide their power from his own parents because he's afraid they'll be disappointed in him for a mistake he made years ago is just sad.

Turtle may be boring, cowardly, and, well, boring, but he has his reasons.

Also, near the end of 'Darkness of Dragons,' he says he wants to be a better, braver dragon - one that he would like to read about. He says he's working on it, and maybe he'll be working on it for the rest of his life, but he's getting there.

He really shows symptoms of anxiety, so I don't think you can blame him for his cowardice. He has a ton of self-doubt, but don't we all sometimes? And he needs some weaknesses. I bet people would hate him even more if he weren't boring, cowardly, and forgettable.

Plus, most people forget his strengths. He's very humble and sweet. He cares about other dragons and has a sense of right and wrong.

Just don't forget, Turtle is like any person. He's realistic and relatable. We all get scared from time to time, but the difference is that some people (or dragons) like Turtle choose to at least try to evolve from that. It takes time and work, but as Turtle says, we'll all get there one day.

Clay is just the most caring individual out there, willing to give of himself for others and just wanting everyone to be friends.

But he's not simple-minded. He figured things out on his own, including how to make music from the wire that bound him, matching it to the Dragons of Fire song with no training, help, or prior experience. Who wouldn't want to be his friend?

I have no words. If Clay is not a hero, I do not know who is.

He stays brave and kind, encourages and supports his friends, trusts Peril, and has the warmest heart. There is too much to write about him.

SPOILER ALERT!

Luna took full action in The Flames of Hope. I really hate Cottonmouth for killing poor Freedom and trapping her eternally in the abyss.

Note: Warning, spoilers for The Flames of Hope

Luna is a great character. She fought back against the HiveWings despite knowing it would get her in trouble. She cares for Blue and goes to great lengths to save him. When stuck in the abyss, I like how the author still managed to give the reader information on what was going on in the outside world through the mindspace.

In the abyss, Luna still took action. She saved Dusky and ended up saving the world by snapping the breath of evil vine - with ordinary silk! It proved to her, and to everyone, that you don't need a flaming, rare superpower to save the world. You can be as ordinary as any dragon and still make a difference.

Luna is brave and courageous, and she cares about everyone. Even though she once told herself that the HiveWings should be wiped out, she realized that she actually cared a lot for Cricket. Luna is an awesome character and is my third favorite!

Personally, he's a completely underrated character who does not even remotely deserve the hate he gets. Everyone calls him cruel, mean, and cold. Well, if you lost a sibling that you knew and loved for seven years and thought they were dead, how would you react? You would act the same way.

Also, he changed. He developed. He became a nicer dragon, and everyone forgets about the time he saved Moon when she was about to be hit with that spear. Without Winter, Moon would have died. He just grabbed her and moved her to the side while she was already on the floor. Like, why would you do that? It was super quiet heroism, and everyone just hates him.

People think he should go with Qibli. You are wrong. In book fourteen, Winter is more compassionate, more caring, and much nicer than Qibli. But we don't even pay attention to that. We just ignore the times when he's kind, which is the majority of his arc. At least 60% to 40% of the time, he's just depressed out of his mind.

Winter deserves so much love. He worked so hard to find someone to love because he had everything taken from him. He was banished from his own kingdom just so he could be with Moon, and he didn't even complain about that. He didn't freak out. He didn't rant about it.

Meanwhile, Moon says, "Oh, my parents abused me for three bloody years," and people defend her because they were just teaching her to be a better assassin.

Winter was hated, mentally abused for seven years, and never escaped that trauma. So please, just vote for Winter. Give him the love that he deserves.

Indigo, although occasionally irritating (more so towards the end of the book Darkstalker), is a strong and independent character. It's not fair that she's known as a bad influence on Fathom, especially just because she's not royalty.

It's also not fair that she's forced to stay away from Fathom by Queen Pearl. But she sticks it out and stays loyal to Fathom to the end. She will always be a special character to me, however irritating she can get.

Indigo was an amazing character. At first, she was pretty much the most annoying character in the whole Darkstalker Legends book because she constantly stopped Fathom from befriending Darkstalker. My friend was reading the book before me and said she wanted to shoot Indigo with a gun and scream at her for being as annoying as Fatespeaker. But then, after she finished the book, she said that she loved Indigo like I did.

I loved Indigo because she was so brave and loyal to her boyfriend. She was one of only two famous ships to actually have dragonets. (And I mean their dragonets even appeared.) The other being Arctic and Foeslayer. I ship Fathigo! Go Indigo!

Fatespeaker is just awesome. She's optimistic and imaginative. She may not have future-seeing powers, but I admire her imagination and determination.

She and Starflight should definitely go together. I would also love at least a prologue or an epilogue about her, now that Tui has already done two NightWing books. Fatespeaker forever!

Whenever I see this character, my mind says, "I'm sure that Fate is here so people can judge her," because some people just do that. I know opinions differ. I don't mind if someone hates a character. What bothers me are the reasons.

I just love Fatespeaker. I don't think she's a "copy of Sunny." If we look at it that way, Kinkajou is also a copy of Sunny but with one different trait. (I don't like Kinkajou, but that's not the reason).

Auklet is just adorable! But why does everyone love her just because she's cute? I bet even the Orca statue felt bad for attempting to kill Auklet! She is one of my favorite SeaWing characters. Doesn't anyone see how adorable she was when she flipped out at Turtle?

Aww, she's just the cutest! I really want to get to know her more and find out what kind of personality Tui would give her once she's older. I hope that if Tui's writing another arc, she'll make little Auklet a protagonist and tell us more about her!

Who wouldn't love Auklet? The youngest SeaWing princess is one of the cutest dragons in the series. She genuinely cares for her brothers and tries to remember all their names.

I almost laughed every time Bumblebee said something. She made the books so funny, even in tense moments.

Every time she said "SNUDOO," I wanted to burst out laughing.

Loud and noisy is what some people say, but I love Bumblebee. Bumblebee can make friends with someone in one day! Bumblebee also played a key role in helping the others discover the secret behind Wasp's mind control.

Bumblebee is the best. She has hilariously cute dialogue. You can't tell me that the first time she said "snuffing," you didn't burst out laughing.

When she told Cricket not to go because it was too dangerous, I thought that was just so kind. But then she goes, "Me should go because ME SNEAKY." I was so amused. She is an incredible character.

Um, excuse me, why is Queen Ruby not at the top of this list? Let me explain why she's a great and underrated character.

1. Unlike her mother, Ruby isn't cruel. She's actually very kind and benevolent. Instead of making her prisoners fight to the death in an arena for entertainment, she turned the arena into a hospital and released all the prisoners after the war was over.

2. Remember the stereotype about SkyWings being grumpy? That came from the dragons under Scarlet's rule. Scarlet was an awful queen but an amazing villain. The soldiers under Ruby's rule are actually super loyal to her, and not just mindless zombies trying to avoid execution.

3. Ruby is also a complex and deep character. She's generally seen as judgmental and cruel to Peril, but after witnessing what Peril did with the Brightest Night eggs, who wouldn't be? Her mother was threatening her with the most dangerous dragon alive. In the end, she comes around, which is good. She also suffers from an identity crisis, which makes her more interesting.

4. She allows the Dragonets of Destiny to use Jade Mountain for the academy. Jade Mountain is technically SkyWing territory, so...

5. She gave birth to (and really cares about) Prince Cliff. Cliff is adorable. Who doesn't love him?

Props to you if you read all that.

Clearsight is a really great dragon. She just wanted the best for her friends and tribe. She used her power only to help others and for the greater good. She loved Darkstalker and did everything in her power to stop him from turning evil.

Although I have one comment on her loyalty: she basically cheated on Darkstalker with all those SilkWings. I mean, seriously, Clearsight, I know you need to move on and Darkstalker wouldn't come back for another two thousand years, but he didn't know you'd broken up. And he technically didn't die. So did she cheat on him? I still don't know, but other than that, she was pretty great.

Snowfall is my favorite IceWing. Even though she was, let's just say, a bit snappy in the beginning, I imagine her becoming a great queen in the future.

Snowfall is my overall favorite character. In the previous books, especially in Winter Turning, she is made to seem mean and selfish, but she is not, especially after having the ring.

I love her character development. She was put on the throne at a young age, while her kingdom was recovering, and was super paranoid about all the other tribes. She was scared - who wouldn't be? But the ring set off her character growth. She started to have empathy and understand what other dragons went through.

In the end, she became a better queen. Destroying the rankings wall is the first step in a new era for the IceWings.

A lot of people I know think that Whiteout is just a weird background character in one story, but I think differently. Whiteout is amazing in a lot of different ways. Sure, she has a color mind, but that's just part of what makes her great.

I personally think that Darkstalker is not evil. Whiteout has interesting hobbies, and if she found her true love, then she found her true love. Nothing you can do about it. She is so sweet and complicated and also a bit weird, but she deserves to be further up the list. Go Whiteout!

Thorn recognized that there could be so much more to life than just fighting and survival. She used her skills to make the Outclaws a force of good to help others in the Scorpion Den.

And this was despite the loss of her egg, which she never stopped looking for, loving Sunny without ever having seen her.

One of the best queens and characters in the book. She ruled the Scorpion Den well and then ruled the Kingdom of Sand just as well.

If you think she shouldn't be queen because of the "royal line," then too bad. Would you rather have Blaze rule? She would die in the first week.

Fathom was traumatized by Albatross, torn away from his love, and isolated by everyone out of fear. Then he was sent to Darkstalker, where he was finally happy. But Darkstalker turned evil and changed his love into a statue, so Fathom had to use his animus magic to defeat him.

He broke his oath, but instead of going back and dying, he isolated himself with Indigo, had dragonets, and was finally happy with her.

Ok, my final vote goes to Fathom.

Fathom has PTSD from the Royal Seawing Massacre. I didn't like how Albatross literally gave his grandson trauma by killing tons of dragons in the Seawing Kingdom, and I hate Pearl for putting Fathom into isolation, separating him from Indigo (I love Fathindigo). When Darkstalker came into play, the relationship between Fathom and Indigo was tested. Fathom believed Darkstalker could help him with his animus powers, while Indigo thought that Darkstalker was just trying to manipulate Fathom.

All in all, Fathom was tested to see if Darkstalker could be considered a friend or not. Indigo ended up being right, and Fathom was devastated when she turned into a wooden statue. He also helped Clearsight in the end and put Darkstalker into a 2,000-year sleep. He was able to get Indigo back and have a happy ending with her.

Overall, one of the best-written Seawing characters ever. I love Seawings, and Fathom is my favorite male Seawing character.

I know he wasn't a main character, but he's a great brother and his story is interesting. I was surprised no one put him on the list.

He's amazing! I just love how he was the only one nice to Winter and even got captured for him. He deserves more recognition.

He's a good dragon and made it to the top of the rankings. He is strong, bold, and confident, but he's also a very good brother.
