- "But … right now? Won't I get to meet my dragonet? Can't we let the egg hatch here and give it to the Talons of Peace later? She could grow up with us, and then we could send her to the continent in a few years. Wouldn't that be better, to raise her like a real NightWing?"
- — Farsight to Morrowseer about Starflight's egg, Prisoners
Farsight was an adult female NightWing who was introduced in the prologue of Moon Rising. She formerly resided on the NightWing island until she was killed in a battle while defending a SeaWing from two SkyWings. She was Mastermind's partner and the mother of Starflight and Fierceteeth.
Description[]
Farsight had black scales[1] and black eyes.[2]
Personality[]
Farsight was compassionate, kindhearted, and brave.[3] Secretkeeper described her as easily forgiving.[4] She was protective and caring toward her egg,[5] becoming sorrowful when it got taken away. Morrowseer described her to have little backbone and a lot of fluff between her ears.[6]
Biography[]
Pre-Series |
---|
Farsight was a NightWing with two dragonets with different fathers: Fierceteeth and Starflight, although she never got the chance to meet her son. It is unknown what happened to Farsight's first husband or what her relationship with her second, Mastermind, was like, but she appears to have cared about them both and their dragonets. At an unknown point, possibly after some time since Morrowseer had taken Starflight's egg, Farsight tried to help a SeaWing who was attacked by two SkyWings, and was killed in the process. |
The Dragonet Prophecy[]
The Dark Secret |
---|
Morrowseer stated that Starflight's mother died while trying to help a SeaWing fight off a couple of SkyWings. Morrowseer also claimed that Starflight "didn't get his brains from her," as he regarded her choice as "stupid." |
The Jade Mountain Prophecy[]
Moon Rising |
---|
In the prologue, Farsight and Mastermind witnessed Secretkeeper running to the rainforest tunnel to watch Moonwatcher hatch. Farsight remembered that this was the day Secretkeeper's egg was supposed to hatch before it cracked and tried to comfort Secretkeeper about it. However, this has the opposite effect as Secretkeeper jealously yelled at Farsight about how she has two living children, one of them being hailed by the Talons of Peace. Secretly, this was to get Farsight out of the way so that Secretkeeper would not miss Moonwatcher's hatching. Farsight seemed very shaken by this comment, but Secretkeeper thought to herself that she would apologize the next day, and Farsight would probably forgive her. |

Farsight was in the hatchery watching Starflight's egg and taking care of it when Morrowseer came in to take the egg for the prophecy. Farsight did not want to give the egg to him, so Fierceteeth offered to be taken, in which Morrowseer rejected the latter offer. Fierceteeth was shown to be jealous of how Starflight's egg was getting all the attention. It was revealed that Farsight had another partner, Fierceteeth's father, who died before Fierceteeth hatched. |
Relationships[]
Fierceteeth[]
Fierceteeth wheedled for her mother to help her hunt,[1] but after Farsight explained that she was worried about danger towards Starflight's egg, Fierceteeth became angry and demanding.[2] She felt betrayed by Farsight's care towards her second dragonet, and believed her loyalty towards Fierceteeth to be shallow.[5]
Starflight[]
Farsight was excited about and devoted to Starflight's egg.[7] Despite never meeting Starflight, she wanted to raise him with her[8] and gave the egg a "woeful, soppy, [and] cow-eyed look" when Morrowseer took it away.[9]
