In the Wings of Fire series, Winter's primary romantic interest and crush is Moonwatcher.
Winter, an IceWing prince, harbors strong romantic feelings for Moonwatcher, a NightWing. Despite these deep affections, he is reluctant to openly admit them. This hesitation stems from the understanding that his parents would likely disapprove of a relationship with a NightWing, given the historical animosity and cultural differences between their tribes.
Details of Winter's Romantic Feelings
- Object of Affection: Moonwatcher, a NightWing dragonet and one of the dragonets of destiny.
- Internal Conflict: Winter struggles with acknowledging his feelings for Moonwatcher, largely due to the societal expectations and disapproval he anticipates from his IceWing family, particularly his parents.
- Tribal Disapproval: The traditional rivalry and prejudice between IceWings and NightWings play a significant role in Winter's reluctance to pursue a relationship with Moonwatcher.
Other Character Dynamics
While Winter's feelings are directed towards Moonwatcher, other characters have also shown interest in him. For instance, Kinkajou, a RainWing, exhibited signs of having a crush on Winter. Her thoughts in Moon Rising described him as "glittering" and "sparkly," indicating her admiration for him. However, these feelings are not reciprocated by Winter, whose heart is set on Moonwatcher.
