Tsunami

Tsunami is an adult female SeaWing and the main protagonist of The Lost Heir. She was formerly a dragonet of destiny and is partially responsible for the end of the War of SandWing Succession. She is the oldest living heir to the SeaWing throne, the headmistress of Jade Mountain Academy, and is in a long-distance relationship with Riptide. She is currently traveling across the sea from Pyrrhia towards Pantala as one of the twelve selected representatives chosen to go on the journey.

Appearance
Tsunami has dark, deep royal-blue scales, like sapphires, with pale, emerald-green flecks underneath them. She has sharp white teeth, blue talons, a long neck and a long tail, large, translucent green eyes, and azure-blue wings the color of the sea, that have the royal stripe patterns underneath them.

Although she is described as tall and bigger than Turtle, Tsunami is smaller than Clay, with a sleek and elegant form. One of her wings has a cut near the edge.

Her scales and wings are the same shade of blue as Coral's, due to being her daughter.

She wears several strands of pearls given to her by Coral. Among them is a heavy, smooth, long strand of shimmering pale purple and oddly shaped pearls draped around her neck, as well as one wrapped around her chest and wings.

During her journey to Pantala, she also wore a pouch behind her left foreleg that contained a dreamvisitor.

Personality
Tsunami is a fierce, brave, and courageous dragon. She is also bossy, and she often believes that her way is best, taking charge whenever and wherever she can. She is always ready for battle. Her stubborn and fiery nature can result in her behaving recklessly. However, she can be open-minded and thoughtful.

Although Tsunami is confident, she often questions herself and wonders if she is too rash and impatient. This self-consciousness is not without reason. Tsunami may react too quickly or without much thought in intense or angry situations, provoking unneeded conflicts. She is extremely proud and will challenge others if she or her friends are being harmed. Tsunami loves her friends and stays loyal to them, and even if she is snappy and is annoyed with them at times, she does her best to defend and understand them. She has also been described multiple times by her friends to be "crazy brave" and confident.

Overall, Tsunami is brave and strong, and although she can be quite bossy and stubborn, she would do anything for her friends, even if they disagree. Despite being very independent, she is a good leader who enjoys freedom.

Anemone
At first, Tsunami is disappointed that she has a sister and another heir to compete with for the throne. Later, though, Tsunami bonds with Anemone, and they trust each other like friends. This is shown when Anemone aids the dragonets in their escape. Tsunami deeply worries about Anemone and hopes she doesn't lose her soul like other animus dragons and promises to end the war before her younger sister is forced to use her powers. When the war was over, Tsunami invited her over to their new school, Jade Mountain Academy. However, she thinks that Anemone might be a bit haughty to her other students.

Auklet
Tsunami saved Auklet's egg from Orca's statue and watched her hatch. She thinks of Auklet as very dignified, and is happy to see Auklet when she visits.

Bumblebee
Tsunami seems to be fine with Bumblebee, despite Bumblebee disliking Tsunami. She took care of Bumblebee, giving Bumblebee an amused look when Sundew told her to look after the dragonet.

Clay
Clay is the MudWing Dragonet of Destiny. Tsunami thinks of him as a brother, as well as a very close friend. They are usually around each other. Tsunami describes Clay and Sunny as being "the most trustworthy members of the group." She mentions once having a crush on him, saying that she always imagined she would date him because she had never met any other dragons, though it ended when she found out that he only saw her and the other dragonets as brothers and sisters. She is very close to Clay, and they work together due to their similar abilities.

Coral
Coral is the mother of Tsunami. While Tsunami mostly adores her mother, she often questions her ruling and judgment ways and is sometimes even frightened by it. Tsunami believes that some of the queen's ways are scary and harsh, such as slaughtering her guards brutally and publicly to punish them.

Deathbringer
Tsunami seems to slightly distrust Deathbringer, possibly because he once threw a sharp disk through her wing. Despite this, she seems to have some respect for him even though she is not particularly fond of him and even once threatened to "knock him off the mountain." She rolled her eyes when she saw the look he gave Glory, possibly indicating that she doesn't approve of their relationship. But Tsunami cares about him because she knows Glory is fond of him.

Gill
Tsunami snapped Gill's neck in half in the SkyWing arena, not knowing that he was her father until Coral told her. When she found out that they were related, she was overcome with guilt. In The Dark Secret, Tsunami is shown to dream about him.

Glory
Tsunami is shown to be constantly annoyed by Glory's sarcastic personality. She describes Glory as the "least trustworthy" and calls her venom "magical death spit" (after Sunny called it that), much to Glory's annoyance and a little bit of anger. They often argue, and Glory seems to always snap at her behaviors of "leap before you look." Despite this, she and Glory have known each other since hatching, they care about each other a lot, and they often assist each other with tasks. This is shown when Glory helps Tsunami formulate an escape plan, and also when Tsunami tricks Clay and Sunny into thinking that Glory left the brigade to go by herself. In The Hidden Kingdom, Glory states that Tsunami has become a better dragon since the events of The Lost Heir.

Kestrel
Tsunami was not very afraid of Kestrel during training, shown when Kestrel is beating Clay up, Tsunami bit Kestrel on the weak spot on a dragon's tail and told her to "stop picking on Clay." She seems to be the one that dislikes Kestrel the most, second only to Glory. She doesn't want to go back and save Kestrel but does anyway because of Clay's insistence. Tsunami still shows dislike towards her mentor when they are leaving the Sky Kingdom, taking a threatening step towards her before Kestrel flies away.Though she was shocked when she found her former guardian dead and was furious at Princess Blister for doing so and lying about it.

Peril
Tsunami was initially very wary and mistrusting of Peril because she killed so many dragons in such a horrible way through her firescales, not bothering to stand up against Scarlet and fighting back. When Peril tried to burn her chains, Tsunami was hesitant. She has also been shown to consider Peril as a psychopath. In The Brightest Night, when Peril saved Clay by burning out the poison, Tsunami was speechless yet grateful, though she did not verbally express it. 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 before Sunny pointed out that it was impossible. In Escaping Peril, Tsunami was still shown to lack trust towards Peril, admitting to Ruby that she didn't like the SkyWing. Despite this, she does not wish harm to Peril.

Riptide
Riptide was the first SeaWing Tsunami met in the Kingdom of the Sea. She thought of him as handsome and considered marrying him instead of Whirlpool. He taught her some Aquatic and saved her when she was attacked by an unknown SeaWing (later revealed to be Whirlpool). She stood up for him after Coral and Blister claimed he couldn't be trusted because Webs was his father. When he later admitted that he had been working with the Talons of Peace, Tsunami was upset that Riptide lied to her. In The Brightest Night, Tsunami mentioned that she wanted to be mad at him, but she was delighted to see him. The two are in a long-distance relationship.

In Winter Turning, Moonwatcher told Riptide that Tsunami thought of him all the time and wanted to hear from him.

Shark
Shark is Tsunami's uncle, but she hates him stating, "One day I will be queen, and Shark never be anything but a soldier." Tsunami believed he was responsible for the heirs' deaths and was suspicious when he gave Tortoise a break from guarding the eggs. Shark was shown not to trust the dragonets of destiny, wanting to kill them, which enraged Tsunami even further.

Starflight
Tsunami often shushes Starflight because of his constant lecturing. In The Lost Heir, Tsunami was annoyed when he tried to command the group. Tsunami and Starflight have known each other since they hatched, same as the other dragonets of destiny. In The Lost Heir, Tsunami states that she had a crush on Starflight before discovering he was a know-it-all and can be super annoying. She appears to love him as a brother or a friend, as shown when she refused to kill him in the SkyWing arena.

Sundew
Sundew seemed surprised when she first met Tsunami, but she gradually warmed up to her as she proved her worth. She does not seem to have any objection to Cricket leaving Bumblebee with Tsunami.

Sunny
Tsunami seems to think of Sunny as a little sister, being the last to hatch. She is concerned about Sunny's well-being, and although she sometimes doesn't realize it, she underestimates Sunny a lot. In The Brightest Night, when Sunny used the obsidian mirror, Tsunami claimed Sunny would "get over the prophecy" and would "forget about it once she has something to distract her." Sunny says Tsunami never liked the prophecy anyway. Like the other dragonets, Tsunami has known Sunny since they hatched. Tsunami considers Sunny and Clay, "the most trustworthy members of the group."

Turtle
Turtle is one of Tsunami's several brothers, one out of thirty-two. 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 one who came to Jade Mountain Academy. 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.

Whirlpool
Whirlpool attempts to teach Tsunami Aquatic but proves to be a terrible teacher. Coral wishes for Whirlpool to be King of the SeaWings when Tsunami or Anemone is queen. Tsunami hates Whirlpool, preferring Riptide over him. Whirlpool also tried to kill Tsunami because he did not want to marry her. This is proven when Anemone enchants a spear to find Tsunami's attacker using the animus powers that he "taught" her, which later appeared to be genetic abilities.

Willow
Willow saves Tsunami and Turtle from a large snake in the epilogue of The Hive Queen. When Willow commands the two not to move, Tsunami obeys instantly, seeming to acknowledge the 'note of authority' in the LeafWing's voice. As a dragon not keen on following orders, Tsunami's willingness to obey Willow may suggest that she respects Willow. In The Poison Jungle, Tsunami gets along amicably with Willow, who visits her and Turtle. The two are on close enough terms that Willow has no issue calling Sundew her girlfriend in front of Tsunami.
