Tsunami
Tsunami is a SeaWing and a member of the dragonets of destiny. The Lost Heir focuses on her personal journey to the SeaWing kingdom and her reckoning with her lost heritage. Brash, bold, and combative, Tsunami is fiercely protective of her loved ones and will quickly leap into battle to save them; her core flaw is that she often acts without thinking. She connects leadership with protection and feels insecure when her position is threatened.
At the beginning of The Lost Heir, Tsunami struggles with the trauma of the SkyWing arena and the SeaWing she killed, which is made more complicated because he was her birth father. She also struggles with her relationships with Glory and Starflight. Tsunami longs for her SeaWing family, hoping that they will provide a new sense of belonging. Although Tsunami does forge meaningful bonds with Anemone and Riptide, she learns that blood relations do not guarantee kinship—true loved ones are chosen, not decided by genetics.
Queen Coral teaches her that all parents are flawed; this changes her previously combative relationship with Webs and her other guardians and allows her to empathize with their sacrifices. Encountering Blister teaches her the importance of subtlety and how a true monarch should act; these conflicts help her repair and value her relationships with the dragonets and her dedication to the peace prophecy.
