Legends

Dragonslayer

Cranberry first appeared helping Rowan train Leaf. Leaf mentioned that she had been separated from her traveling entertainment group when he was twelve, and that she was still hoping for her troupe to come back and find her. She had taught Leaf all of her acrobatic moves, which included cartwheels, handsprings and backflips. Grove thinks out loud that the dragonmancers might be lying, and he and Leaf talk about breaking in to his study. However, Cranberry intervenes, saying that she had been keeping track of the dragonmancers' visions, and that they were right more than half the time.

The next time Cranberry appeared was when she ran up to Rowan, telling her that a group of villagers had just come and taken Grove away. Rowan then told her that they had to find and bring back treasure for the dragonmancers or they would sacrifice him. Leaf asked her for a sword, so she led the way to their secret weapon stash. They then set off for the palace.

Cranberry was in the group of scavengers that Queen Scarlet saw, before she decided to chase after Mushroom. She was also one of the scavengers chosen for the arena, and the one who almost stabbed Starflight in the eye.
