Clay

Appearance
Clay has pale orange scales that appear a light brown. He has a pale yellow underscales and wings. His overscales seem to be dark brown. He has amber eyes. He is larger than the other dragonets.

Personality
Clay is a friendly, strong, empathetic, protective, loving, caring, courageous, and hungry dragon. He is committed to helping his friends and family, protecting them and keeping them safe at all costs. He is seen as a bigwings by most of his friends due to his selflessness, protectiveness, and kindness. He is willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but he will stand up for himself and his loved ones at all costs, even willing to guard them with his own life. He is loyal to a fault, displayed when he refused to leave Glory with Kestrel in The Dragonet Prophecy. According to Webs, he would do anything to the other four dragonets of destiny. He is honest, kind, open, a bit daft, and would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings.

Clay also loves feasting and food in general, a fact of which Sunny takes full advantage of and regularly teases him about it, often calling him "adorable". Clay appears to have a liking for more meaty meals. This is shown many times throughout the first arc; cows are one of his favorite meals, as shown in The Dragonet Prophecy, and in other instances, it's shown that he likes to eat meat more than vegetables or fruits.

Starflight
As with the other dragonets, Clay considers Starflight a brother. Although Clay gets bored of Starflight's lectures sometimes, he cares about him quite a lot, so much that he would risk his life to keep him safe. Starflight sees Clay as his bigwings, as the rest of the dragonets do. All in all, Starflight and Clay have a good relationship.

Tsunami
Tsunami is among Clay's closest friends. Also, she stabbed Scarlet's tail with a sword to allow herself and Clay to fly away from the SkyWing queen. Later, she calls Clay a "handsome idiot" and gives him a hint that Peril likes him, though it goes right over his head because Clay is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Throughout the book, Tsunami often interjects when Clay talks about Glory and Sunny in front of Peril because she appears to understand that Peril gets jealous. After she and Clay escape from under the mountain, Clay notices how beautiful and shiny her scales were in full moonlight (he says that they looked like emeralds). In The Lost Heir, she states she had feelings for Clay and Starflight but had gotten over her crush when she realized Clay thought of her as a sister and that Starflight was "too annoying." She was also the second one to hatch, and the first egg Clay tried to help with hatching.

Sunny
Sunny is like a little sister to Clay, and he treats her as such. When Clay decided to travel down the river under the mountain, Sunny said, "Don't you dare die!" Clay also wanted to go save Sunny when she was trapped in a cage in the Sky Kingdom as soon as he learned where she was, after badgering Peril for the information. When Sunny wants to explain her idea about the darts in the RainWings' attack, she turns to Clay because she thinks he will listen. He seems to be the dragonet she confides in the most.

Glory
Glory is also one of Clay's close friends. He describes her as "smart and beautiful," and feels bad about thinking that Glory was asleep when she was displayed as "artwork." It is mentioned that Clay would often give her some gifts. When Glory comes into view after Kestrel says she's going to kill her, Clay twines his tail with hers. When Glory goes missing, Clay is very worried about her (and goes to save her).

Peril
Clay befriended Peril while trapped in the SkyWing arena by Queen Scarlet. They became friends quickly and Peril developed feelings for him because he was the only dragon that liked her the way she was. After Clay fights Fjord, Peril brings hot mud to treat his scratches and wounds. He soon finds out that Scarlet ordered Peril not to talk to him, but she defies those orders. Peril seemed jealous of Clay's other friends because she wanted Clay to herself; when she helps the dragonets escape and later betrays them, Clay touches her and discovers that he's immune to her firescales. This helps when he fights Peril against his will in the arena, leaving Peril to admit that she wanted to save him after Kestrel and for him to like her more than the other dragonets. Clay says he does not want to hurt her, but Peril says they have to fight.

Their fight ends after Queen Scarlet is sprayed with Glory's venom, and they escape in the ensuing chaos. Glory says Peril might be the missing SkyWing, but that is proved false. Peril chose to stay behind and distract the other SkyWings from the escaping dragonets, where she states that's all she's good for. But then Clay delivers the award-winning line when he finally gets it, saying that it's not all she's good for and giving her a dragon equivalent of a hug.
