Riptide

Riptide's Backstory
Not much is known about Riptide’s childhood, but we do know that he is Webs’ son. Because Queen Coral of the SeaWings viewed Webs as a traitor for abandoning her in a battle and siding with the Talons of Peace, she thought that Riptide had inherited some of the “badness” from him (Webs). This made him overlooked by many SeaWing citizens. That was, until Princess Tsunami, daughter of Coral, found her way home to the Summer Palace.

When Tsunami went for a swim in the sea near the Summer Palace, Riptide saw her and greeted her by flashing his scales, saying hello in the form of the secret, underwater SeaWing language of Aquatic. He had expected her to know how to say Aquatic and talk back. However, since she was raised in the underground cave and Webs never talk her the underwater language, Tsunami misunderstood this. She thought he was testing her to see if she really was a SeaWing, so she flashed her glow-in-the-dark scales back, but in whole different “words.” Instead of saying “hello,” she said: “Hey, sparkling teeth, I love three of your claws but not the others, and I wish your nose was a herring so I could eat it, and also your wings sound like sharks snoring.” Riptide, now confused, most likely thought she was a threat as she didn’t know how to speak Aquatic, so he started attacking her. Tsunami fought back and quickly went back to her friends.

Later, Riptide was shown leading the Dragonets of Destiny to the Summer Palace, and they were harshly greeted by Commander Shark. Not long after, Coral was shown eyeing Riptide, and later explained to Tsunami that he was bad since his father was Webs. Tsunami, shocked, wondered why he had never told her this.
