Clearsight


 * "All the hurricanes and earthquakes and fires and storms cannot break you, if you remember a few things. We are here to love with our whole hearts. Lean into your kindness and empathy in the face of evil - but do not let evil win […] Keep going. The list of things to live for is limitless and it is possible to be happy again […] Be happy, dragons of the future. You can change the world with your joy and your hope."
 * —Clearsight in the Book of Clearsight, The Lost Continent

Clearsight was a female NightWing who was first mentioned in Moon Rising and formally introduced in Darkstalker. She was hatched with exceptionally powerful foresight and served as Vigilance's Head Seer when she resided in the lost city of night.

After imprisoning Darkstalker in order to save Pyrrhia, Clearsight relocated to Pantala, where she partnered with Sunstreak and several unnamed BeetleWings. Over time, her descendants diverged into the HiveWing and SilkWing tribes.

Before her death, she used her precognitive abilities to create the Book of Clearsight. In the modern era, most dragons who inhabit Pantala worship and pray to Clearsight as a divine being of guidance and wisdom.

Appearance Edit
Clearsight had large, dark  purple eyes and black scales. She was sleek and beautiful.

Personality Edit
Deeply kind, willful, serious, often worried and harried, Clearsight was often known to be the voice of reason towards both Darkstalker and Fathom. She was selfless and open-minded, willing to admit to her own faults as well as others'. Although Clearsight preferred compromise over confrontation, she was not afraid of conflict and would try her best to do the right thing, even in the face of danger or oppression.

Clearsight was obsessive about the future, often spending her time exploring different potential timelines to try and find the best outcomes. She was often very nervous or serious due to her ability to see so many possibilities. However, it is a testament to her selfless nature that she was willing to delve into an unknown, muddy timeline to prevent the potential futures where she released Darkstalker by staying on Pyrrhia. It is possible that she has depression and/or anxiety. She is also quite determined, proven after venturing to save the dragons from the storm in Pantala.

She is also kind and understanding as shown in her letter in the Book of Clearsight. She loves the tribes of Pantala and her descendants, even though she could never meet them. As the books go, Clearsight gets more mature and at her deathbed, she says don't look into the future, stay in the present.

Darkstalker Edit
Clearsight first met Darkstalker when she was three years old, although her visions had revealed earlier that they were destined to be soulmates. She loved Darkstalker very much, and tried her best to keep their futures bright, but eventually had no choice but to betray her beloved by trapping him in a cave within Agate Mountain with a bracelet enchanted by Fathom. She mourned him - and their possible future dragonets - for a long time after he was trapped, and never moved on even when she traveled to Pantala.

Listener Edit
Listener was Clearsight's first true friend, and she was humorous and welcoming towards her, showing her around their classroom, and later going with her on an expedition to save the school's pet scavengers. Listener never approved of Clearsight's relationship with Darkstalker, but she was still supportive throughout their friendship.

Fathom Edit
Clearsight met Fathom shortly after his arrival in the Night Kingdom, and cared about him very much - Darkstalker even worried that she might have loved Fathom more than himself at one point. She had opened up to him numerous times about her feelings about Darkstalker and prophetic powers; he seemed to be a supportive friend to her. Clearsight possibly felt protective towards Fathom, as shown how worried Clearsight was when the massacre happened, and how happy Clearsight was when he arrived at the Night Kingdom. She probably felt that it would be her fault if something ever happened to Fathom since she could predict the future so well. After Darkstalker killed Arctic with his animus magic, Fathom helped Clearsight to defeat Darkstalker by enchanting Clearsight's mind reading-blocking moonstone bracelet that was meant to keep Darkstalker asleep for the rest of time.

Swiftwings Edit
Swiftwings and her husband seemed to love Clearsight very much, often worrying over her gift and offering to go with her to school.

Allknowing Edit
Allknowing was Vigilance's top seer. Clearsight disliked her from the beginning, Allknowing also seemed to dislike Clearsight, being jealous of Clearsight's powers and position as Vigilance's new seer. She often tried to taunt and scare Clearsight to reclaim her place back in the royal court.

Quotes Edit

 * "I'm looking for clues about how animus power works, […] There's so much we don't know. Can one animus spell override another? Is there anything animus magic can't do? Do different spells affect their souls in different ways, or are they always the same? But all the scrolls are about IceWings, and it sounds like they've always restricted their magic so much that no one's had a chance to find out anything. I mean, of course no one wants to run experiments on animus dragons, even if you had more than one at a time for comparison, to see who goes evil first. So it's all anecdotal, and …"
 * ― to Queen Vigilance (Darkstalker, page 250)


 * "Oh, […] It's — well, it's complicated — there are so many consequences — and spells can go wrong, especially with a war scenario where it's all so chaotic. it's kind of an unspoken rule that tribes don't use animus magic in war, isn't it? Because if we use animus magic, then they might retaliate with animus magic, and then it gets … well, really bad …"
 * ― to Queen Vigilance (Darkstalker, page 251)


 * "You can't wipe out an entire tribe, […] There are hundreds, maybe thousands of innocent IceWings. Think of all the little dragonets who aren't part of this war. You're not a dragonet-killer, Darkstalker. […] Not to mention what it would do to your soul."
 * ― pleading with Darkstalker (Darkstalker, page 255)


 * "We don't want to keep out all the other tribes, […] The NightWings are famous for our intertribal relations and open trade partnerships. Our scrolls and artwork are sold across the continent. Dragons bring us new ideas and inventions and discoveries from all over. If we close our border, especially with violence, we lose all of that. We lose everything that makes us who we are."
 * ― to Queen Vigilance (Darkstalker, page 257)


 * "I'm sorry, my love, […] I know it's the worst thing, […] I know it hurts and you're not all right and you're angry and you want to punish the IceWings, but you have to fight the anger and the darkness. Darkstalker, I'm so, so scared. The thing's I've seen in the future because of this - the things that happen to you, the things that you do and what you become - it's all so dark, I almost can't see the light anymore. I'm afraid we're losing our bright paths …"
 * ― to Darkstalker (Darkstalker, page 259)


 * "Thank you for being you, […] I hope your life is everything it should be."
 * ― to Listener (Darkstalker, page 338)


 * "Maybe it started the first time you lied to me. Or maybe it was losing Foeslayer and not being able to do anything about it. Maybe it was all the small moments where you felt threatened or powerless or out of control, and all the things you did to fight those feelings … Or maybe it's just part of you, something you hatched with. Maybe that's what you really got from your father, along with your magic. Maybe you were always going to turn out this way, no matter how I tried to save you."
 * ― to Darkstalker (Darkstalker, page 353-354)


 * "Good-bye, my dearest love."
 * ― her final thoughts toward Darkstalker (Darkstalker, page 354)
