Description[]

Marsh has brown scales[1] and brown eyes.[2] He looks like Sora, just more fidgety and nervous.[3]

Personality[]

Marsh is an extremely nervous and jumpy character and is described by Umber to fly "extremely fast."[4] Like most MudWings, he cares a great deal about his siblings and is afraid of seeing another one of them die like Crane did.[5] He seems to get along well with Coconut, his clawmate.[6] Like his other sibs, he did not enjoy the war and often wished for it to end.[5]

He never seemed to fully recovered from the death of his sister Crane, who was killed by Icicle in a battle between Blaze and Burn's armies during the War of SandWing Succession. As his troop's first battle, the event's aftermath left him even more scarred and possibly traumatized. As of Darkness of Dragons, Clay stated that Marsh seems happy.[6]

Biography[]

The Dragonet Prophecy[]

The Dragonet Prophecy
ClaySibs

Clay meeting his siblings

Marsh hatched along with Reed, Sora, Pheasant, Crane, and Umber in the Mud Kingdom. Because Clay was sold to the Talons of Peace by their mother, Cattail, they were raised with Reed as their bigwings.

After they escaped from the Sky Kingdom, Clay and the other dragonets of destiny made their way to the Mud Kingdom while being pursued by Burn and her soldiers. The group encountered him and was overjoyed to see him for the first time, helping him make peace with himself. Despite their protests, they let Clay depart to be the bigwings of the prophecy dragonets, leaving Reed to remain as the troop's bigwings, with doubts about his leadership on the fact that Clay was their natural bigwings.
The Hidden Kingdom
Marsh was mentioned by Glory when she thought about where the dragonets would go after the prophecy was fulfilled.
The Dark Secret

Marsh was in the prologue with his siblings when IceWings attacked the patrol of SandWings nearby. He was terrified and tackled Reed midair, nearly taking Reed down with him. He and his sibs were talking about whether they should remain loyal to Queen Moorhen or leave and join the Talons of Peace.

Marsh appeared in Clay's dream with his other siblings when Starflight dreamvisited Clay.
The Brightest Night
Marsh and his siblings were seen when Sunny and Clay go to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. He admitted to feeling wary of the outcome of the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings, which, thanks to the Great Ice Cliff, would have ended in suicide, though they did not appear to know it was there.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy[]

Moon Rising

Marsh accompanied Clay and his siblings throughout the book and attending Jade Mountain Academy as part of the Copper Winglet. Near the end of the book, when Sora was asked why she tried to kill Icicle, Marsh was shown in a flashback.

When Umber abruptly left with Sora, they didn't have time to tell Marsh that they were going, leaving Clay with the responsibility of breaking the news to his younger brother.
Darkness of Dragons
