Starflight's primary and most significant romantic crush in the Wings of Fire series was Sunny.
Understanding Starflight's Affections
Starflight, the scholarly NightWing dragonet of destiny, developed complex feelings throughout his journey. While his relationships involved two key characters, Sunny and Fatespeaker, his deepest romantic affection was consistently directed towards Sunny.
Sunny: The Object of Starflight's Deepest Affection
Starflight harbored a profound "affection towards Sunny," which clearly indicates his romantic interest and crush on her. His feelings for Sunny were explicitly stated as being on a different, more intense level than his feelings for anyone else. This deep connection was evident when Starflight contemplated his romantic feelings, affirming that his affection for Sunny was unique and paramount.
Fatespeaker: A Strong Bond of Friendship
While Fatespeaker had a clear romantic crush on Starflight, his feelings for her were characterized differently:
- Fatespeaker's Crush: Fatespeaker genuinely held a crush on Starflight.
- Starflight's Liking: Starflight "likes Fatespeaker better than all the other NightWings," indicating a strong preference and deep platonic bond.
- Distinction from Romantic Love: Despite this strong liking, Starflight "currently likes her as a friend." The narrative highlights this distinction by noting that his feelings for Fatespeaker "could never be the same as his affection towards Sunny." This clarifies that while he valued Fatespeaker deeply, his romantic crush remained with Sunny.
