Top 10 Wings of Fire Jade Mountain Academy Students

Moon gets more hate than she should. I loved her book and my second favorite ship is her with Qibli. I think that Moon is kind of a strange character.
I like her, but I can see why others don't. I respect everyone's opinion as long as they don't ship Qinter or Winterwatcher (then I yell at them until they shut up). Sometimes, Moon acted like a Mary Sue and seemed to toy with Winter's emotions. But I don't really see that, she liked Winter and also liked Qibli. She wanted to show affection toward both of them while figuring out which one she loved back (also deserves is not a thing, please shut up about that because it is annoying because every ten seconds when I read the Winter section I find a idiotic comment on why Winter "deserves" Moon, he doesn't and no one does). If I were Moon then I would choose Qibli no questions asked over the dragon that threatened me over a tiny spec of dust.
But anyway. Moon is not a Mary Sue. Some people call her a Mary Sue and then list all of her flaws. She has been hurt before - when Winter threw the vase at her she got cut. Also, Moon is (in my opinion) an amazing character. It's not her fault she was underdeveloped by the author. Moon should have been featured in another book to get character development.
She's a good character, but she is perfect at some points. But who isn't? Every single character in the fandom has been perfect for at least one page. Like remember when Winter got burned in the fire in book seven? Never mentioned again. Ever. And also, I love Moon and she is treated like a piece of garbage by the fandom. People complain about two others liking her - it's called being attractive/beautiful suck it up. She is an okay character but please come up with better reasoning because so far its just whining on how she has a better life than you. - Laurel

Turtle is one of my favourite characters, tied with Qibli. I love how scared he is about being noticed, and yet for Kinajou and Qibli he followed Darkstalker all that way and went to catch up with Anemone. Also, I love how he thinks about what character he would be if he was in one of his mother's scrolls.
Turtle is an amazing character. His plot is good, and I love how he's an animus but still scared of everything. His book is my favorite, I can read it over and over. Overall - great character!
Yes definitely Turtle, he's so modest and shy, but unrealistically so. Like with all her characters, Tui has written him in a captivating style, just to the side of the limelight.

I love him and I ship him with Moon. Qibli in my opinion, is underrated. Sure you might say/think, "but he's the most loved character." Sure, still underrated. He saved the continent about two times and helped save Pantala. Plus he's charming, smart, and much more! However I disagree with people that say that he's a Gary Stu because look at his flaws too: insecure, worries a lot, sometimes under/overestimates dragons, ambitious. Qibli is a well-balanced character and is my second favorite. Plus his book was by far my favorite one in the series! Qibli is awesome and whoever thinks so should go suck a lemon. - Laurel

She is beautiful and I love her pink wings.
She is like Scourge from Warrior Cats. Anemone started off nice and non-killer then she became eViL
Scourge started off nice then he got bullied by his bully littermates and he went crazy and tried to get revenge aanndd he became a KILLER!
I really really love Anemone. And I love her colors. And I love her arc. And - ok ok, that's enough. But GUYS, she didn't turn evil, she was actaully okay-ish, Darkstalker sort of evil-ed her. And she was OK in the epilogue of Qibli's Book. So.
She's probably one of my favorite characters ever.

I have different feelings about Peril as stories unfolds. I thought Peril was dangerous and creepy at first, but as I knew more about her it turned out she was born a violent killer. People can change and dragons can as well. At the end of Escaping Peril she changed a lot. That is the most important part.
But an other side of me keeps thinking that Peril is annoying "Clay,Clay,Clay" "would Clay want me to do this?" I'm not really a "Cleril" fan, I think that Peril's astonishing development may be destroying the original Peril. I can't really figure out whether or not I like her.

I like Winter, but I don't ship him with Moon. Moon is with Qibli, and I hope Tui adds a dragon for Winter to be with soon. Winter is a great character with plenty of flaws. Some people in the fandom call him emo (including my sister who has no reasoning) which is not true! He's one of the most developed characters in the books! He's not a Mary Sue, like some characters, and he's not over-flawed. Also an IceWing was the perfect character to make a protagonist, we got to learn more about them. Winter should be at the top of the First Circle and go back to the Ice Kingdom. - Laurel the LeafWing

To be clear:
I hate Kinkajou. Sue me. I don't like how she's so young and pretty and all she does is be happy. Plus she's overrated. Sure she did a couple things in her life, but she has no real purpose in the series. I don't ship her with anyone but Turtle and not hardcore. She is pretty useless and could easily be killed off by the author. Plus she never had to go through anything but the NightWing prison when the others have had worse. She probably isn't being killed off because she's the author's favorite character, but I'm begging you Tui - just kill her off. She's useless and boring at this point.
Plus she never matures. And also, she's never getting a book - sorry people waiting for her to get one.
And this is just my opinion. - Laurel

I love how she is blind, and yet she knows when other dragons make faces about her, and when they are just being kind to her face, and when they think she is weak.
She's blind come on people we need more blind dragons! She's awesome! ( I'm also counting Starflight as well he's awesome just the way he is even if he is blind.)
She's awesome, with how she pulled through her blindness, and just acted like a normal student just blew me away. #tamarinisawesome
Honestly I don't like any of the Jade Academy students, they just all have a mid personality, you get what I'm saying? Anyway, Coconut is definitely a very dull character and one might even call him quite odd, but he's interesting in the way that he has no worries or fears or ambitions or anything much at all
I voted for coconut in hope of him toppling carnelian, who is grumpy and all she ever likes is fighting and killing, similar to burn.
"This papaya tastes boring..." Coconut! Coconut might not be a major character, but he's weird!
-Nightshade of the Leafwings and Nightwings
She is so cute and innocent on the outside, but Moon described her to be smart. I think she has a personality really close to Kinkajou's, however.
Ostrich is super nice and is always in a good mood. She is kind of shy but mostly outgoing. She should definitely be top ten.
Ostrich is so fun! She is smart and kind, fun and empathetic! I love Ostrich, and Tui should definitely add her in more!
The Newcomers
She doesn't go to school but is my third-favorite character.
What the heck Snowfall does not go to the school

Why does everyone miss carnelian? She is a grumpy old cow! When moon told her about the bomb, she ignored moon and ban! dead. suicide. Even if moon told her it was a prophecy, carnelian would say "I don't believe in prophecy nonsense" and then into the the cave and ban! dead.
I’m not sure why but I like Carnelian and I feel like she is probably a bit like Winter, just guarded and untrusting I believe this since she felt something like sympathy or maybe even kindness toward Umber after he said he fought in the war.. I can’t really explain why I like her apart form that though

Ok I know a lot of people are like 'Sora is horrible she tried to kill Icicle but ended up killing Carnelian and Bigtail and injuring Tamarin!' BUT let me say a few words in her defense: A crucial point that a lot of people are missing out on is that Icicle GRINNED when she killed Crane and saw Sora's devastated face. She GRINNED. Talk about insensitive! It said that Icicle was 'triumphant' and 'malicious'. Obviously it was wrong for Sora to set the bomb, but I can totally see why she did it. I mean, come on, Icicle, you did NOT have to GRIN when you killed Crane and knew that you hurt Sora because that is totally inhumane.

I would just like to say that she did not deserve for Sora to try to kill her. I mean, it was a war! And they were fighting IceWings! I bet Sora killed some IceWings at one point in her life. And the rest of what Icicle did was justified by her wanting her brother back, after years of thinking he was dead. But that random NightWing she killed for no reason in the rainforest, I feel that was uncalled for.
I mean I know she's horrible and mean but come on she was completely raised like that and pressurized to be perfect by everyone, also she knew all her parents wanted for her was just to become queen. It seems like she really didn’t want to come to Jade Mountain, and plus Sora kept trying to kill her. I bet Sora killed a lot of IceWings in the war as well.

Umber was the first character to be revealed as LGBTQ+ in the books. Jambu was introduced earlier, but you don't learn he has a boyfriend until the fifteenth book.
He’s so sweet and I think he deserves more recognition, he was the first LBTQ dragon (well, to be revealed to be anyway) but no one realises that!
He is so brave I will admit it I love him
I liked that he thought of a gift from Darkstarker that could help his village.

Yay flames on the list I really think he's the best Skywing
and boy character

He is da king of gossip. '"OOH, now he's all thinking, why couldn't it be me? "' I mean seriously come on

For some reason I wish Onyx was queen instead of Thorn. then thorn could rule the outclaws and the true heir could ascend to take her crown. I don't know, just a thought
How come nobody voted Marsh? Like Fun life said: Everybody deserves some love.
Hey, someone has to stand up for the cinnamon roll! AND APPARENTLY I AM HAVING TO STAND UP FOR HIM ONLY!
- Fun life
I won't say I liked him because that isn't true, but I was really suprised when he and carnelian died. I just wasn't expecting them to die, that's all! before then the only characters that we knew who died where kestrel and dune and the the two sandwing sisters that weren't blaze. I don't know why I was suprised by their death (we are talking about bigtail and carnelian again), I guess I thought they would be used more? I don't know.
Changbai is just so pretty, and she is a Silver Winglet!
