Anemone

Anemone's Backstory
Anemone was raised at The SeaWing Kingdom. In the prologue of Talons of Power, Abalone, the guard of the Royal SeaWing Hatchery, had some kind of sudden disease that made a large, glowing red lump appear on his neck. King Gill of the SeaWings ordered his son, Prince Turtle, to “fetch” Snapper so that he could temporary guard the hatchery while Gill took Abalone to the healers. However, Turtle was too slow and didn’t come back on time, so Gill took Abalone to the healers anyway, leaving the hatchery vulnerable. Meanwhile, when Gill was away, sharks came into the hatchery and killed some SeaWing eggs before they hatched, leaving Queen Coral devastated. So, she decided to keep watch over her next egg, hoping it will survive. In the end of the prologue, Coral thinks that the dragonet inside her egg’s name will be Anemone.

Later, there was an “animus test” in the Island Palace in the Kingdom of the Sea, in which SeaWing dragonets would be assigned to enchant an object, an if the enchantment works, then that dragonet will be confirmed to be an animus. Prince Turtle already knew he was an animus, but he didn’t want to rest of the tribe to know, so he enchanted Anemone to become an animus instead, leading her to later be known as a “false animus.” Coral believed that Anemone was a real animus, and so she was assigned to be Whirlpool’s student. Coral also expected her to marry Whirlpool one day.

In the events of The Lost Heir, she was shown constantly wearing a harness attached to her mother. She was also very delighted to see her sister, Princess Tsunami, come back home to the Kingdom of the Sea, most likely because she would not be forced to marry Whirlpool. She also explained to Tsunami about how the SeaWing kingdom and how the tribe ran, and also about the Royal SeaWing Council.

Nearing to the end of The Lost Heir, Whirlpool didn’t want to marry Tsunami, and so he decided to try to kill her, and he nearly succeeded. Later, Princess Blister, the ally of the SeaWings, convinced Queen Coral to lock up the Dragonets of Destiny in a prison, and lock of Riptide and Webs as well. Once they were in the prison, Whirlpool came inside and admitted that he wanted to kill Tsunami because he didn’t want to marry her, and that resulted in Anemone killing him. Then, the SkyWings used bombs to light the SeaWing Summer Palace on fire, and so everybody was focused on evacuating the palace. Tsunami managed to convince the prison guards to let she and her friends go, and the Dragonets escaped the Summer Palace, which was soon abandoned.

In the beginning of Moon Rising, Anemone was shown at Jade Mountain Academy without her harness.

In Talons of Power, Darkstalker arose from the mountain and told Anemone that she was the dragon he was looking for. Later in the book, he was irritated to find out that there were other animuses in Pyrrhia, and therefore enchanted all the animuses to come straight to his throne room. Soon, Anemone grew jealous of Moonwatcher, since she was also viewed as Darkstalker’s friend. This probably gave Darkstalker the idea to enchant her (Anemone) to want to become the queen of the SeaWings.

Eventually, Anemone reached the beaches near the Island Palace, where she met Turtle again. Turtle admitted that he enchanted her to become an animus, but she ignores this fact, and tells him that she is going to rule over the SeaWing Kingdom as queen. And in order to do that, she must kill all the possible heirs, which included Tsunami (sister), Coral (her mother, the current queen), and Auklet, her newly hatched sister. Anemone then tries to kill Turtle, but Turtle uses his animus magic to stop her, and then, he finds out that her strange behavior has came from Darkstalker.

In Darkness of Dragons, Anemone’s spell is defeated, using animus magic. Darkstalker is also defeated, however, Pyrrhian dragons can no longer use animus magic.

Description
Anemone has stormy blue-gray scales that may also seem like the color of a dark cloud before showers. Her underbelly is a lighter shade of this color, and large, glowing, bright, sky-blue scales dot her head, body, talons, and tail, with the glowing scales on her tail slowly getting smaller and smaller. Her talons are hooked and serrated. Anemone’s wings are also a coral-pink color, and there are large, pale, creamy pink spirals and starbursts all over them. She has curved, dark gray horns and dark gray spikes going down her back, and the webbing between the spikes is also coral-pink.

Personality
Anemone is kind, caring, and compassionate, especially for her family. She seems to feel irritation whenever she is lectured or watched over, especially by her mother, Coral, or her teacher, Whirlpool. She is determined, fierce, bold, and is quick to defend her reasons, most likely because she did not have to wear a harness anymore.

Coral
Queen Coral is Anemone’s mother. Coral seems to want to protect her daughter, and therefore she put a harness that connects to two. In The Lost Heir, Anemone seems to feel either irritation or anger towards Coral for using her, and she is scared that she will lose her soul and become evil if she used her magic too often, like Albatross turned out. However, there is probably still a piece of Anemone’s mind that loves and wants to protect her mother.

Whirlpool
Whirlpool is Anemone’s mentor, who “teaches” her how to properly use animus magic. Although she does not have a very good relationship with him, Coral still wants Anemone to marry him, since he would “make an excellent king one day.” Anemone also killed Whirlpool with her animus magic when he tried to kill Tsunami.

Tsunami
Tsunami is Anemone’s older sister.

Auklet
Auklet is Anemone’s little sister.

Darkstalker
When Darkstalker was freed from his eternal sleep in Agate Mountain, Anemone was the one he was looking for, most likely because they both had animus magic. Soon, Darkstalker became angry that there were other animuses in Pyrrhia, and so he enchanted her to kill all her relatives and become the queen of the SeaWings. However, once Anemone reached a beach near the SeaWing Summer Palace, Turtle revealed the secret that she was a false animus, and he later stopped from killing her family.

Tamarin
Anemone has a crush on Tamarin. She is shown reading scrolls out loud to her, and she always seems to want to help her. However, the series does not mention Tamarin having feelings back, although she is kind and caring towards Anemone.
