Kestrel's animosity towards Glory originates from her deep-seated prejudice against RainWings, whom she perceived as inherently weak and unworthy, especially when contrasted with her own tribe, the SkyWings.
Kestrel's Disdain for RainWings
Kestrel, a formidable SkyWing, held a profound bias against the RainWing tribe. In her eyes, RainWings represented the antithesis of the strength and power she valued in dragons. She believed them to be:
- Lacking Power: Kestrel saw RainWings as less "powerful" compared to other tribes, particularly the SkyWings. This perception fueled her contempt.
- Unfit for the Prophecy: As one of the guardians of the Dragonets of Destiny, Kestrel expected a certain level of physical and combat prowess from the dragonets. Glory, being a RainWing, did not fit Kestrel's narrow definition of what a capable dragon should be, especially one destined to fulfill a vital prophecy.
This prejudice manifested in Kestrel's treatment of Glory. She consistently abused Glory, viewing her as a burden and a disappointment simply because she was a RainWing and not a "powerful" SkyWing or a dragon from another tribe Kestrel deemed strong. Her hatred was deeply rooted in this disdain for Glory's heritage and her perceived lack of strength.
