The Traumatic Life Of Peril (A Character Analysis)

Показать описание

Peril's story is one of the most heart-breaking in Wings of Fire, and in this video I will go over how Scarlet's toxic relationship as her mother figure ended up ruining her life and taking away any normalcy she could have felt.

If there are any other Wings of Fire characters you guys would like for me to analyze, let me know down below! Regular WoF discussion ideas are also welcome.

I think Peril's dependent relationships with both Scarlet and Clay were also a really interesting way of contrasting the two characters who (besides maybe Scarlet and Sunny?) were as completely different dragons as the series ever presented. On one hand, we have Scarlett telling Peril she accepts her as a way of manipulating Peril into obedience and on the other, we have Clay telling Peril he accepts her as a way of freeing her from the burden of other dragons' opinions. Both work on Peril because nobody else (except maybe that one dragon Scarlett executed in the first book) has accepted her in the way she's always wanted to be.

Basically, what I'm saying is: Peril really did have a traumatic life and this video did a great job explaining why!

I feel so bad for Peril. She didn't deserve a tragic life. Anyway, great video!!!

Poor Peril, I can't imagine how much she had to suffer, Scarlett destroyed her family, she grew up in a terrible environment where she was treated like an object and taught to kill, and the worst thing is that Scarlett tormented her day and night even after she manages to escape, and her father is a cynic and a freeloader. But despite everything she suffered, she managed to be happy in the end, and Clay helped her a lot, although many were against her, and she managed to make more friends like Turtle who love her for who she is, and even adapted well to the academy. hopefully she meets Sky soon.

Top 5 characters with the most trauma (imo)

Peril
Qibli
Winter
Jerboa III (had her backstory not been shown in Book 14, I would've went Turtle)
Whiteout

Peril is a really good character. Not my favorite though my favorite character is definitely Clearsight.

Other sad things is that in Possibility, Peril even thinks of multiple ways to kill Moon and Qibli. She literally says in her head that she couldn't ever recognize dragons because she would size them up for opponents.. now that is something sad and depressing. Scarlet abused her so badly throughout her life and made her kill so many dragons, that Peril couldnt ever recognize anyone and store it in her head.

Okay, I love you when I say this, BUT WHITEOUT *MUST* HAVE HER OWN VIDEO! I LOVE HER TO PIECES AND SHE IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL! WE ARE BOTH WEIRD!

ideas that I have:
What if the LeafWings had accepted HiveWing rule?
What if the Tree Wars had never happened?
What if Monarch had never accepted Wasp's offer?

Peril is one of my favorite characters from this book (although Tsunami's my favorite character out of the whole series) and I felt bad for her when she found out Scarlet lied to her about Kestrel being dead. Peril's been through a LOT. She totally deserved better. It was heartbreaking seeing all the manipulation that has happened for Peril. I was glad at the end when Peril finally started to think for herself. Scarlet's not my favorite character in the books, and I really hated how badly she treated Peril and lying to her about the black rocks she "needed" to survive. I loved when Peril saved Clay from the dragonbite viper in The Brightest Night. Even though she does have attachment issues to him, it shows she's really loyal to him. Peril's a really good character. It really makes me sad when we actually SEE the parts when Scarlet treats her poorly. Scarlet acts like Peril is no more than a dragon. I was really happy when Peril finally stood up to Scarlet and started to think for herself.

And gosh I might've wrote maybe a whole essay on her. Sorry about that. XD

Amazing video! Peril is a quite the character! I find it interesting how we choose our favorite characters. Because we either admire them, feel sympathy towards them, or simply understand them. For me, my favorite character is DarkStalker because I find myself thinking like him quite a bit, and I can see and understand his reasoning. But enough about DarkStalker and myself. I just want you to know that you make AMAZING videos and that you have a nice voice! By the way, what if Blue and Cricket have never met Sundew? What if Glory never became the RainWing queen?

Edit: I forgot to tell you I also like how you listen to your commenters.

Peril is honestly one of my favorite characters, even if she’s not in the top spot. Her book is my second favorite in the series (of what I’ve read so far), and I do think she deserves better- NOT COUNTING CLAY, CLAY IS MY BABY

Hi doge, I have some ideas for what if and character analysis'.

What if Turtle didn't find Anemone and have the animus fight?
What if Clay's egg got crushed while Asha got stuck in the fight (between whatever they were)
What if Hawthorn dodged the thorn?
What if the Scorching never happened?
What if Scavengers never existed?
What if Beetlewings and Leafwings didn't move to Pantala?
What if instead of Wasp, the queen was Lady Scarab?
What if Arctic was a kinder father, like Foeslayer?
What if the dragonets of destiny happened/What if the Talons of Peace didn't exist?

Character Anylsis ideas:
Deathbringer
Darkstalker
Ruby
Tourmaline
Whiteout
Sora
(Sorry that I was late to the video!)

I wanna know your thoughts on what if Morrowseer had discovered Moonwatcher's existence and how he'd react to her, and of course her powers.
