Swordtail is an important character in the Wings of Fire book's series. Why is he so important? Keep reading to find out!
In the first book of the third WoF arc, Swordtail is introduced. He is a male SilkWing, a construction worker under the Hivewings, and a member of the Chrysalis in Cicada Hive. He then became a fugitive along with Blue, Luna, and Cricket.
Swordtail is most known for causing trouble, because he is a dragon with crazy ideas. He was put on Misbehavers Way many times before he was assigned to a construction crew. Construction Crew is one of the jobs in Pantala that is looked down upon. Before he became a fugitive, many dragons who cared about Swordtail in wof often worried that his ideas were a bad influence, and Swordtail could get in trouble for sharing them. He does not care about what other dragons think of him. Swordtail is quick to understand Luna and her thoughts, unlike most dragons in Luna's life. While he was still at school, Swordtail often created mischief to distract the HiveWings' attention from others to himself, in order to help the other students avoid getting into trouble.
Swordtail wof is a strong and handsome dragon, with iridescent dark blue scales and a small pattern of white triangles along his spine and snout. He has beautiful dark blue eyes, deep blue wings, long blue antennae, and a long orange-and-blue tail. He is dotted all over with orange splotches, as though someone melted a sunset in a cauldron and flung it over his wings.
The most important dragon in Swordtails life is Luna. They have been in a long term relationship as far as we know. Swordtail relies on Luna and Luna relies on Swordtail. They are both upset and anxious when the other is away for a long period of time. Swordtail feels like he need her for every decision. He deeply cares for Luna, and would do anything to protect her. Swordtail believes that he will always find his way back to Luna. Once, he asked Luna to be his girlfriend while sitting on a box of her favorite candy, honeydrops. When Swordtail was sent to Misbehaver's Way, Luna would sit next to him for as long as she could, reading or singing to him, or just keeping him company. Since the moment they met, Swordtail has always been on Luna's side about everything.
Io always cares for her brother, as she willingly attended his girlfriend Luna's Metamorphosis and helped his friend escape the HiveWings, even putting herself at risk. When they met in the Poison Jungle, Swordtail was overjoyed to see her and immediately embraced her. When Tsunami told Swordtail that Luna was safe, Io comforted him by putting her wing around him as he cried, and assured him that they would be reunited soon.
Blue is one of Swordtails closest friends, and they have known each other for a long time. Despite having totally different views, they care for each other a lot. In WoF, Swordtail is very defensive of Blue, often getting in trouble for his sake.
In WoF, Swordtail does not trust Cricket due to her being a HiveWing in the beginning. Once she proves to be on their side, he begins to see her in a more positive way, complimenting her several times and listening to her points.
After distrusting her, Swordtail discovered that he and Sundew shared many ideas, including the desire to see the extinction of the Hivewing tribe. In WoF, Swordtail agreed to follow Sundew once she revealed her plan to burn the Hives. Although he had not entirely thought it out yet, he quickly took her side, even agreeing to destroy the Hives.
