Au idea: Tsunami is an animus
She doesn't tell the others at first. Which was super hard and she thinks she deserves some credit for that. But there's battle training... Then history lessons. And there is absolutely NO way she's letting Kestrel and the other minders know. And... She kind of likes keeping this little part of her to herself. Just for a little bit.
When she does tell the others Starflight is immediately a worrywart about it. Running around her with wide eyes. As if he could see her soul decay on her scales. She shoves him for this. But eventually she agrees not to use her powers... Yet. I mean it's not like they could even fly yet.
Time passes. And she kind of forgets. The dragonets learn how to fly but.. it just doesn't seem like the right time yet. And they don't want to use her magic unless it's a last resort. And they should probably save it to end the war anyway. This drives her CRAZY but... She does admit to herself the idea of losing her soul is pretty scary. So she doesn't. Even if she thinks Kestrel would make a good looking toad.
But then Morrowseer comes... And they escape. And then there's Queen Scarlet. And then the arena and... Oh why didn't she use her magic to cure that poor SeaWing...
Then they escape and she is a princess! And.. and she's not the only animus anymore. And she has a sister... At first she's jealous but then they talk and they just. She understands her. Now more than ever she wants to end the war. But what can she do here? Under her mother's watchful gaze... Should she tell Anemone? Would that be a good idea? But what about Blister? Urrrrrghhhh!!
Where is her friends when she needs them!? She doesn't know what to do. This power itches beneath her scales. Her talons twitch and sing with power... But how to use it?

Woo! This is a fun idea! Admittedly a Animus Tsunami is a little terrifying. But at the same time her first instinct would probably be to pounce first. Magic later. But still fun! I also had a ton of fun playing with the lighting in this picture. First time drawing Tsunami at all.
Let me know what you all think!
