I'd honestly love if we got some official art of Diamond someday! I'd be curious to see how she'd look in one of the official styles :D Question of the day: Which are prettier, sunrises or sunsets? My answer: Sunsets :))
Darkstalker: Legends isn't really about evil dragons so much as it's about toxic relationships and how it can spread like a virus from not only one family member to another, but to ANY dragon. The only way to fight it is to get away from it, for truly evil people never change. Get away from the toxic people in your life. Give the past a slip, as DEVO has advised. Be more than those that would drag you down. Winter chose to be more than his parents aspirations, and he freed an innocent victim of ancient toxicity. Sometimes evil people don't get punished, but that shouldn't stop anyone from aiming higher than them.
i think the reason she isnt talked about much is cause we really didn't get much content of her overall. we hear all about her evil actions but dont see much of her in the books! i'd love it if she got a winglet.
@@DogloverlikesdogeThe prophecy would never have happened. It only happened because Morrowseer and Battlewinner wanted Blister’s territory, so they rigged it. Jade mountain would’ve never happened. Pantala wouldn’t have actually been overtaken by the BoE, because Clearsight would’ve never appeared and Wasp would never had become Queen of the Silkwings.
Thinking same actually, Snowfox also seemed to be like the worst option in Diamond's POV for heir soooo I guess it would be amazing to see Snowfox battling for the Throne actually, Fox could be more than vengeful as she received almost the same abuse as Arctic
Not only was she responsible for everything you discussed here, she was also indirectly responsible for many of Darkstalker’s actions by damaging his family.
She was very evil. Kill ONE dragon 100+ times, and also started a war on purpose. Poor Hope… Hey Moon, love your videos. Could you do a video on a What If? Maybe like What If Freedom Somehow Survived? Or What If Chameleon Became the Royal RainWing Artist (this one of my own Winglets)?
I guess we can see where dark stalker gets his evil from not only from Diomond but from many dragons around him manly his father and the thing that really makes him snap is the fact that the queen sends Quickdeath to kill him
Not only is she evil, she's also just plain stupid. "Oh no we need to get Artic back so we can continue the animus line!!" acting like she couldn't just have more dragonets. Even more, she wasn't afraid to use her animus powers more than once as mention. She made at least 3 additional enchantments after her gift, the diamond trial, the crown, and the enchantment that made Foeslayer come to her in the first place. She literally could have just enchanted another dragon to be an animus if she wanted, like Turtle. Or, she could have made an enchantment that allowed the animus gene to never leave the icewings. She could have enchanted Artic to come back like she did Foeslayer and have him have more dragonets by force. She's honestly the real reason the Icewings lost their animus powers, not Foeslayer and Artic falling in love. She's and awful dragon but also unbelievably idiotic. She was too focused on revenge to even think rationally about how to rectify the situation.
Fr 💀We don't know how old she was, but she was never described as elderly. I wonder when dragons stop being able to have eggs. Guess she spent all her time hating Foeslayer instead of making smart choices
I feel like she acted the way she did just to cling to power. 1.) She didn't want to enchant another dragon to be animus because that would have given her a possible challenger. Arctic has obviously been groomed to take the position and have as many female animus heirs as possible. Reworking an entire dragon for the sole purpose of conducting wishes could backfire against her. 2.) She probably anticipated that Arctic made protective spells for himself and Foeslayer since he knew she'd try it (it's also not stated whether or not he did cast any spells for his own protection against her magic since he correctly predicted her enchanting Foeslayer) But yeah, I'm pretty sure she was just trying to play it smart whilst also not trying to seem weak/open in front of the other IceWings. It would explain why she lied about the circumstances of his disappearance as well as her potent hatred of Foeslayer. The NightWing/IceWing war would also be easily explained by this as well. Perhaps she knew the pair had protective magic that unraveled her own magic so throwing enough physical threats at them would be enough to kill (her) and forcibly return him.
I agree with you, Dimond only cared about herself and being strict with everything, and how even when Artic was finally happy, Dimond immediately took it away, and how she was extremely racist towards the NightWings which lasted 2000 years, Yeah in my eyes, she should've been executed for what she did.
I actually have a theory on this character. Considering it's never confirmed how she died, wouldn't be cool if Queen Diamond used her magic to freeze herself in time, similar to what she did to Foreslayer. Maybe the story could be she was challenged for the throne, lost, but then fled and froze herself, enchanting herself to be awaken at a certain time when she could retake her tirbe easily. And on top of that, wouldn't it be cool if she was unfrozen during Arc 4 to be the main big bad? But that's just a theory.
I was watching a JMA video and then you posted! Also, I think Burn is the most evil dragon, Scarlet was pretty crazy, but Burn just desired cruelty through sheer brutality, not including rudeness or drama like Scarlet. I hear people say Wasp is the most evil all the time and I don’t really get it. I would say most of the villains would do way worse than her if they had her power, like Blister.
Diamond arguably started the events of the whole series! Without her meddling you don’t have the IceWing-NightWing War, or (evil) Darkstalker. You don’t have Darkstalker driving Clearsight away to Pantala and starting the HiveWing tribe (and SilkWings if you think about it) or the Book of Clearsight, which means no HiveWing domination!!
From the start, Diamond felt a bit wrong. Let your son have some fun!!!! Yes, I know, I could understand her being mad at Foeslayer, but she already suffered so much, and that prison is very wrong. Chill down!!!!
If we're going on the pattern about villains who got away with it, I have a few more. Queen Vigilance, who tried to murder one of her tribe on a prophecy by her fired seer and attepted to get Clearsight arrested and wipe out the IceWIngs. Addax, who held Ostrich hostage and sold Sunny to Burn under his excuse of "I have family I need to see there" Belladonna, who staged a plan to BURN DOWN A CITY! and never was punished Prudence, who manipulated her daughter to have eggs with Arctic just so the NightWings could have animus dragons, with no regard for their feelings or personal boundaries. Lagoon, (from The Lost Heir, not the Darkstalker one. Don't need another Darkstalker character on this list) who attempted to starve the dragonets of destiney on Coral's orders. (Lets add Coral on this list, too, just for the sake of it) And finally, Deathbringer. Just like Peril, he killed many dragons, just like her, but was never shunned or even punished for his actions, instead being the future partner of the RainWing queen. Sorry if this was long, their are a lot of examples of this.
They were totally unpunished! I hate all three of them fr 😭Especially Vigilance and Prudence. And yeah, Deathbringer not being put to justice for literally being a KNOWN assassin is kinda crazy. I should make a video about that, actually
I would also add belladonna’s crimes of somewhat mental manipulation of sundew to be the person she wanted since, as I’ve pointed out, people have said that sundew in her book was a different character, but I think it’s the amount of time she spent with cricket, blue, EtC helping her emotionally grow out of that mindset. Bumblebee also helped. Granted, if we talk about parent problems we would be here literally all day.
@@brendanrodriguez5111 True. Only the parents of the main protagonists include Belladonna, Cattail, Coral, Mastermind, Morrowseer, Narwhal, Tundra, Scarlet, Kestrel, Chameleon, Cobra, Vulture, Admiral, Cadelle, Hemlock, Arctic, Foeslayer, Heath and whatever Wren's parents names were
I wonder what kind of story Tui can come up with were she brings Diamond back as a villain sometime in the 4th arc because of some other spell she put where if something happens to the crown, if Foeslayer escaped, or even if something that if it stops receiving some type of signal the other gifts and Icewing enchantments that were created it would bring her back or some type of clone of her to try and “save” the kingdom because if the enchantments have fallen then it’s cause the kingdom has been invaded from what she thinks or something like that. Just an idea
Can you do a what if? Segment on "What if Darkstalker never been born with Animus powers, but still had his Nightwing Powers?"(and if instead, Whiteout was the one born with animus powers. Would Darkstalker and Clearsight had their happy ending?; Would Prince Artic treated Darkstalker more differently? Would Whiteout gone mad with power and be the one trapped under Agate Mountain instead?)
The IceWings could have another animus, the odds just get worse and worse with each generation. Diamond must've gotten her magic from generations before her, the same generation dragons like Snowfox descended from. Meaning the royal family does have animus genes, they just haven't received an animus due to their luck getting worse and worse over time.
@@Dogloverlikesdoge Perhaps her mate was dead and she refused to remarry? Although, she doesn't sound like the "loyal partner" type, more of just a "have eggs and get rid of him" kinda dragon. Considering how selfish she seems, she also might've just not wanted to deal with another dragonet.
She’s not the most evil, as there are other genocidal dragons that are basically psychopaths in the series. But diamond was able to cause the most damage, as there was no prophecy children to stop her
@@caitlinsessom161 and you really think no one's going to be trying to convince him otherwise? The first animus in years wants to make a zoo. Nobody wants to do something else the build-up would be the interesting part how many people try to influence him and then finally him meeting Moon and the repeat of darkstalker.
Interesting, since in Book 7 Winter's inner monolog said that he'd want to essentially make a zoo for scavengers. But by book 10 Winter is thoroughly disillusioned with animus magic after what it did to him, Hailstorm, and his tribe.
Honestly I feel kinda bad for Arctic , even after what he all did he didn’t deserve the death Darkstalker gave him. His own mother only ever considered him an object she could use to fix her bad choices. I feel like he was already damaged mentally and Animus magic didn’t really have anything to do with it.
I dont know how the icewings lost the animus magic, it cant only be passed down from an animus, based on turtle and orca being an animus and neither of their parents are, so another icewing royal, which there were many, could have had animus dragonets.
Great video as always! I sadly wont be watching it to the end as there are some spoilers of the books i havent read. Anyways im off to reading the books! Ty for the video and for keeping it entertaining! Edit: To answer the qotd. Sunsets are best in my opinion as where i live i have a great view of them!
OKAY FINALLY DIAMONDDDDD YAYYY AND bruhhhhh, I SWEAR most of the good evil Queens get like super underrated and instead many that are actually even slightly more stupid in some way they get more attention _whyyy_ Diamond is certainly CRUEL, PLUS SHE ESCAPED OF HER CRIMES LIKE NOTHING SO THAT'S ALMOST GODLIKE- Burn also could have done something much more evilish certainly Blister also needed more attention, she could have been MASSIVE EVIL And Battlewinner also could have taken another pretty interesting place for evilish stuff
Diamond broke the probably most important rule- only use your animus power once. (ofc this being a little cruel, but it should’ve been a spell the animus could control, rather than one the queen LIKE DIAMOND would control) She casted multiple spells, and wether or not this contributed to her being evil, she still was a terrible queen, and in general went against the morals of her whole tribe…
The one thing I feared most is what happened when she DID die, when Snowfox became queen... what drastic measures would Snowfox take against the other tribes and her own?
@@buiselbuisel8 I think Diamon has something to do with it. Why else would she be so persistent to get Arctic back if she knew that one of her other sons will continue to pass down the Animus gene in the family!?
thing is, Animus magic is genetic, its simple, Diamond would just have other dragonets, who would still have the animus genetics. Thats how the nightwing animus line was, not everyone with the gene had animus magic, because the way dominant / recessive genes work.
If Foeslayer's chains can keep her alive, why not Queen Diamond made herself immortal and fake her own death? That way she'll keep the tribe scared. I know this is insane but heres a theory: Queen Diamond faked her death and hid as a SkyWing for thousands of years before Scarlet found her and vowed revenge against the Ex-Queen of the IceWings. See insane but could be the next story arc where we see more on her personality and how dangerous she could be.
It’s darkly funny just how petty Diamond was. “My son married someone I disapprove of, better start a decades long war, kidnap my daughter in law, break our most sacred laws, make daughter In die over and over, and curse a family heirloom so that every queen after me will also hate nightwings.”
I guess it's quite easy to forget the things Queen Diamond had done, being it so long ago, and that there were other events garnering attention (a certain issue with the SeaWings comes to mind). I'd say that one contributing factor to Diamond's escape from judgment is (once again) the IceWings' egoism. They had already believed that their way of life was perfect, any and that any mishaps or irregularities were to be treated with utter disdain and eradicated. So from their perspective, the Diamond Trial and the threats towards Arctic's "impure" children were perfectly reasonable. I'm glad that the IceWings had shed this deeply flawed culture in turn for a more open and flexible mindset, even though it was eventual. Can't wait to see what Snowfall brings!
Can't catch em all. Honestly, having one or two characters like her that get away with it kinda add a sense of realism. There's plenty of unsolved murders and criminals who've gotten away with everything irl. If EVERYONE in WoF got caught all the time, it would eventually feel cliche and fake. Having a character or two like Diamond that got away with it makes it feel real. Like a real, living and breathing world. Maybe thats just me.
I hate the fact that Diamont wasn't fully wrong in "nightwings stole our magic", because Foreslayer's mother did confirm that she was in here only to get closer with prince and bring magic to the Nightwing tribe as well- It's such unnececary detail imo
What a shame that dead dragons can't be brought back or their spirits interacted with. Part of me wishes that Darkstalker or some future Nightwing animus had the chance to make her suffer like she had made several entire generations suffer.
Diamond's story just goes to show that rules matter... name a single animus dragon who used their powers more than recommended and had a happy ending... no then? I'll list the ones that fit into that catagory: Queen Diamond, Queen Orca, Prince Arctic, Darkstalker and Albatross. Yeah.. all of thoes animus dragons became homicidal maniacs. Its wild just how underestimated the danger of this magic is. Here are the crimes they were known for. *Queen Diamond* Crime: Using their power more than once and starting a war that lasted literal centuries, seeing thousands dead and hundreds scarred. *Queen Orca* Crime: Using their power to create an enchanted statue that would kill any potential heir to the throne. The total victoms claimed is unkown. *Prince Arctic* Crime: Father of Darkstalker, Arctic was blackmailed by Queen Diamond to hand over Whiteout and kill his son, to return to a normal life (Yeah no he was 100% being executed for rulebreaking and using his magic more than once. And ironic considering it IS Queen Diamond) *Darkstalker* Crime: An expert war criminal. Guilty of possibly hundreds of murders and a few counts of attempted genocide. Failing both times however still racking a kill count that made Moonwatcher question her existence. *Albatross* Crime: Regicide... thats it. Used his powers one to many times and slaughtered all but one member of the royal line. Yeh make no mistake. This is some messed up stuff. All because of magical missuse. Remind me to *never* use magic in real life.
Dimand could have used her animus magic to be able to have dragonets again and since she is obviously not afraid of breaking rules, she could have enchanted herself to have only animuses
I actually thought that Darkstalker might’ve tampered the animus magic in the IceWing bloodline. That would make MUCH more sense. If Darkstalker was an animus, and Arctic’s great-granddaughter was an animus, how come there were no more animi in the IceWing bloodline? Darkstalker must have done something.
Diamond's enchantment made it so that she couldn't leave, not even with other spells. It was like how Arctic made Foeslayer's earring keep her safe against all other magic, so the moment she took it off then Diamond got control
WOW!! I knew qween Dimond was evil but i never realised the she was this evil! But now i thinking about its so easy to see. Love your vids Moon keep up the good work
It has always bothered me that nobody ever pointed out how much damaged Queen Diamond caused. Everything bad that has happened on Phyrria or at least most of it has been caused because of QUeen Diamon one way or another even Darkstalker's era. And the worst thing is that she got scott-free, she kept her status, her crown, the loyaltu of her tribe... I alway find comfort in thinking that at some point Snowfox challenged Diamond and killed her but I doubt it since with Arctic gone Snowfox was the only one left to inherith the throne and Snowfox knew Arctic didn't wish to return besides Queen Diamond wanted to destroy the NIghtwings just like Snowfox. I imagine Snowfox just waited for Diamond to die naturally to get the throne, so yeah Queen Diamond got away with being the Devil made dragon
Wait wait wait, isn’t animus blood genetic? So couldn’t diamond just have some dragonets and pass it down? Or some other royal Icewing could pass it down?
Queen diamond is more evil, like a crown that whoever puts on hates nightwings, seriously?! Also I have video idea What if blue and luna were not flamesilks?
Still don’t understand how there were no more animus magic unless the IceWing royal blood was nonexistent. Which meant he had no siblings? No aunts? Uncles? Diamond didn’t have any other kids? Seeing how the other animus dragons seem to get magic it doesn’t come directly from ONE dragon???
Is it evil that I think she should have suffered a fate similar to Darkstalkers mom but worse? I think it would be perfect. Maybe an enchantment that make her feel the cold except a thousand times worse and shes locked up in a ice prison.
Sorry for watching this late! But what I’m going to say is. . . I can kind of understand her. Her son randomly ran away from home and she had absolutely no idea why because he and Foeslayer “fell in love” so quickly. It was probably pretty embarrassing for her (think about what would happen if the Prince of England or something suddenly disappeared-it would probably be mass chaos) on top of completely depressing. Even if she wasn’t allowed to openly display her affection, all mothers love their children, and she probably loved Arctic, too. Does this mean she has the right to trap her in a 2000 year infinite death loop? No. But does she have the right to be mad? I’d say so.
I think ice wings still have animals magic in there gene because in Dark stalker legend Clear sight told Dark stalker not to kill Diamond for seven years because in seven years diamond has dragonets and Diamond dragonets would have the among gene
Ok I think I know how to punish her even though she is dead I will use a piece of Darkstalker scroll to enchant a ring that one you tossed it will transform into a portal that travels back in time and when you touch it no turn back into a ring that you can use it again what's that ready think all the time near Queen diamond's time after darkstalker was put underneath the mountain and clearsight went to the other continent and when Queen diamond is on the edge of death use darkstalkers piece of animas Scroll enchant that all of her animus magic Shelby trapped inside a diamond amulet and never returned to her I can only be used by a purse of heart and a good soul and then (this part is brutal) cut her tongue for she has lie make her blind for eyes are full of hate for she was never a good Queen to begin with
If it were up to me, I'd bring her back from death simply to swap her place with Foeslayer, then put her through something similar just to make her see how it feels to be killed and resurrected hundreds, if not thousands of times for the pettiest of reasons, only ever allowed to experience life in the moments just before she gets murdered again before coming back to life and being forced to wait for the next pair of naive dragons to do it all over again.
I'd honestly love if we got some official art of Diamond someday! I'd be curious to see how she'd look in one of the official styles :D
Question of the day: Which are prettier, sunrises or sunsets?
My answer: Sunsets :))
Sunsets :3
Sunsets. Living in the west of Australia, the sunsets across the ocean are amazing
Sunsets, also, hows tour day going?
Sunrise less mosquitoes and there better In Florida (my opinion)

Darkstalker: Legends isn't really about evil dragons so much as it's about toxic relationships and how it can spread like a virus from not only one family member to another, but to ANY dragon.

don't forget she designed Arctic's gift FOR HIM, a mirror that predicts the weather. So Arctic couldn't even gift the tribe something he came up with.
Exactly! It's so frustrating
The snowflakes on the wall? I don’t recall mirrors I would have to go back and check
@@Ros3PlaysRoblox it's in runaways. I only read it once but that's what I remember
You could argue that Diamond's actions also indirectly caused Darkstalker to become the villain he is.
I wonder what would've happened if Darkstalker and Whiteout were never hatched (Basically if Arctic never left the Ice Kingdom)
@@DogloverlikesdogeThe prophecy would never have happened. It only happened because Morrowseer and Battlewinner wanted Blister’s territory, so they rigged it.
Jade mountain would’ve never happened.
Pantala wouldn’t have actually been overtaken by the BoE, because Clearsight would’ve never appeared and Wasp would never had become Queen of the Silkwings.
Personally, I like thinking that Snowfox and Snowflake eventually found a brilliantly vile way to bump Diamond off and take the throne. Good video!
Thinking same actually, Snowfox also seemed to be like the worst option in Diamond's POV for heir soooo
I guess it would be amazing to see Snowfox battling for the Throne actually, Fox could be more than vengeful as she received almost the same abuse as Arctic

I would pay so much for a Legends book of Diamond. I need to know more about her story. She's such an underrated villain...
She was very evil. Kill ONE dragon 100+ times, and also started a war on purpose. Poor Hope…

@@Dogloverlikesdoge Perhaps her mate was dead and she refused to remarry? Although, she doesn't sound like the "loyal partner" type, more of just a "have eggs and get rid of him" kinda dragon. Considering how selfish she seems, she also might've just not wanted to deal with another dragonet.
She could have had enchanted the icewing family line to always have animi. But instead she was just focused on revenge.
EXACTLYYY
i wonder if diamond was unable to feel emotions just anger, jealousy and so forth, idk how to phrase it
She’s not the most evil, as there are other genocidal dragons that are basically psychopaths in the series. But diamond was able to cause the most damage, as there was no prophecy children to stop her
This video just gave me inspiration what if Winter was an animus. What if he was born an animus.
it was confirmed if Winter had animus magic his gift would be for his tribe to observe humans in an enclosure he made
@@caitlinsessom161 and you really think no one's going to be trying to convince him otherwise? The first animus in years wants to make a zoo. Nobody wants to do something else the build-up would be the interesting part how many people try to influence him and then finally him meeting Moon and the repeat of darkstalker.
Interesting, since in Book 7 Winter's inner monolog said that he'd want to essentially make a zoo for scavengers. But by book 10 Winter is thoroughly disillusioned with animus magic after what it did to him, Hailstorm, and his tribe.
Thank you SO much for the donation!!! Really means the world to me
the sad part is that her forcing arctic to be someone he is not is all too common in todays society
Honestly I feel kinda bad for Arctic , even after what he all did he didn’t deserve the death Darkstalker gave him. His own mother only ever considered him an object she could use to fix her bad choices. I feel like he was already damaged mentally and Animus magic didn’t really have anything to do with it.
I dont know how the icewings lost the animus magic, it cant only be passed down from an animus, based on turtle and orca being an animus and neither of their parents are, so another icewing royal, which there were many, could have had animus dragonets.
they had previous animus's, albatross is one of them.
I'm not sure why their animus genes seemed to be so weak. They couldn't go a generation without one, it seemed
Great video as always! I sadly wont be watching it to the end as there are some spoilers of the books i havent read. Anyways im off to reading the books! Ty for the video and for keeping it entertaining!
Edit: To answer the qotd. Sunsets are best in my opinion as where i live i have a great view of them!
OKAY FINALLY DIAMONDDDDD YAYYY
AND bruhhhhh, I SWEAR most of the good evil Queens get like super underrated and instead many that are actually even slightly more stupid in some way they get more attention _whyyy_
Diamond is certainly CRUEL, PLUS SHE ESCAPED OF HER CRIMES LIKE NOTHING SO THAT'S ALMOST GODLIKE-
Burn also could have done something much more evilish certainly
Blister also needed more attention, she could have been MASSIVE EVIL
And Battlewinner also could have taken another pretty interesting place for evilish stuff
Diamond broke the probably most important rule- only use your animus power once. (ofc this being a little cruel, but it should’ve been a spell the animus could control, rather than one the queen LIKE DIAMOND would control) She casted multiple spells, and wether or not this contributed to her being evil, she still was a terrible queen, and in general went against the morals of her whole tribe…
The one thing I feared most is what happened when she DID die, when Snowfox became queen... what drastic measures would Snowfox take against the other tribes and her own?
At first I saw the thumbnail and thought it was about Snowfall! I was gonna be so mad lol, but Queen Diamond is a very interesting character.
Dw, Snowfall is one of my favorite characters XD
@@Dogloverlikesdoge As she should be! Tui is so good at writing icewings, great character arcs.
I think it doesn't make sense!
Arctic had brothers, so why didn't Animus magic continue to pass on in the IceWing tribe?
It still does, just a string of bad luck and Icewing propaganda (?)
@@buiselbuisel8 I think Diamon has something to do with it.
Why else would she be so persistent to get Arctic back if she knew that one of her other sons will continue to pass down the Animus gene in the family!?
thing is, Animus magic is genetic, its simple, Diamond would just have other dragonets, who would still have the animus genetics. Thats how the nightwing animus line was, not everyone with the gene had animus magic, because the way dominant / recessive genes work.
Someone: I like queen diamond
The rest of the wof community: 🤬
Me
If Foeslayer's chains can keep her alive, why not Queen Diamond made herself immortal and fake her own death? That way she'll keep the tribe scared. I know this is insane but heres a theory: Queen Diamond faked her death and hid as a SkyWing for thousands of years before Scarlet found her and vowed revenge against the Ex-Queen of the IceWings. See insane but could be the next story arc where we see more on her personality and how dangerous she could be.
The animi are so stupid ngl 😭
It’s darkly funny just how petty Diamond was. “My son married someone I disapprove of, better start a decades long war, kidnap my daughter in law, break our most sacred laws, make daughter In die over and over, and curse a family heirloom so that every queen after me will also hate nightwings.”
Fr bro 😭
I was genuinely surprised that it was Queen Diamond; I honestly thought it was going to be Icicle
I guess it's quite easy to forget the things Queen Diamond had done, being it so long ago, and that there were other events garnering attention (a certain issue with the SeaWings comes to mind). I'd say that one contributing factor to Diamond's escape from judgment is (once again) the IceWings' egoism. They had already believed that their way of life was perfect, any and that any mishaps or irregularities were to be treated with utter disdain and eradicated. So from their perspective, the Diamond Trial and the threats towards Arctic's "impure" children were perfectly reasonable.
I'm glad that the IceWings had shed this deeply flawed culture in turn for a more open and flexible mindset, even though it was eventual. Can't wait to see what Snowfall brings!
i thought you were gonna say snowfall 💀 (glad u didn)
not the way i said "who?" when she said "queen diamond"☠️
Can't catch em all. Honestly, having one or two characters like her that get away with it kinda add a sense of realism. There's plenty of unsolved murders and criminals who've gotten away with everything irl. If EVERYONE in WoF got caught all the time, it would eventually feel cliche and fake. Having a character or two like Diamond that got away with it makes it feel real. Like a real, living and breathing world.
Maybe thats just me.
The truth finally comes to light!
Indeed!
I hate the fact that Diamont wasn't fully wrong in "nightwings stole our magic", because Foreslayer's mother did confirm that she was in here only to get closer with prince and bring magic to the Nightwing tribe as well-
It's such unnececary detail imo
Hey guys hope you're all having a great day
I’m convinced Wings of Fire needs a place like the Dark Forest from Warriors for evil dragons
Dogloverlikesdoge: Queen Diamond is The Most EVIL Wings Of Fire Character
Me: Yes go on
What a shame that dead dragons can't be brought back or their spirits interacted with. Part of me wishes that Darkstalker or some future Nightwing animus had the chance to make her suffer like she had made several entire generations suffer.
Diamond's story just goes to show that rules matter... name a single animus dragon who used their powers more than recommended and had a happy ending... no then?
I'll list the ones that fit into that catagory: Queen Diamond, Queen Orca, Prince Arctic, Darkstalker and Albatross. Yeah.. all of thoes animus dragons became homicidal maniacs. Its wild just how underestimated the danger of this magic is.
Here are the crimes they were known for.
*Queen Diamond*
Crime: Using their power more than once and starting a war that lasted literal centuries, seeing thousands dead and hundreds scarred.
*Queen Orca*
Crime: Using their power to create an enchanted statue that would kill any potential heir to the throne. The total victoms claimed is unkown.
*Prince Arctic*
Crime: Father of Darkstalker, Arctic was blackmailed by Queen Diamond to hand over Whiteout and kill his son, to return to a normal life (Yeah no he was 100% being executed for rulebreaking and using his magic more than once. And ironic considering it IS Queen Diamond)
*Darkstalker*
Crime: An expert war criminal. Guilty of possibly hundreds of murders and a few counts of attempted genocide. Failing both times however still racking a kill count that made Moonwatcher question her existence.
*Albatross*
Crime: Regicide... thats it.
Used his powers one to many times and slaughtered all but one member of the royal line.
Yeh make no mistake. This is some messed up stuff. All because of magical missuse. Remind me to *never* use magic in real life.
Dimand could have used her animus magic to be able to have dragonets again and since she is obviously not afraid of breaking rules, she could have enchanted herself to have only animuses
I actually thought that Darkstalker might’ve tampered the animus magic in the IceWing bloodline. That would make MUCH more sense. If Darkstalker was an animus, and Arctic’s great-granddaughter was an animus, how come there were no more animi in the IceWing bloodline? Darkstalker must have done something.
I'd give her the gift of Vision... But even then, I don't know if it would've work, since she's so twisted
wait. why didn't Arctic just Animus power Foeslayer back. Its that easy
Diamond's enchantment made it so that she couldn't leave, not even with other spells. It was like how Arctic made Foeslayer's earring keep her safe against all other magic, so the moment she took it off then Diamond got control
Oh yeah… I forgot
The fact that she’s worse than darkstalker already says something, her wiki literally describes her as being insane.
WOW!! I knew qween Dimond was evil but i never realised the she was this evil! But now i thinking about its so easy to see.
Love your vids Moon keep up the good work
Queen diamond really needed more attention!
I thought the video was going to be about Icicle for a second and when you said "went unpunished" I was super confused xD
Oh no XD
It has always bothered me that nobody ever pointed out how much damaged Queen Diamond caused.
Everything bad that has happened on Phyrria or at least most of it has been caused because of QUeen Diamon one way or another even Darkstalker's era.
And the worst thing is that she got scott-free, she kept her status, her crown, the loyaltu of her tribe...
I alway find comfort in thinking that at some point Snowfox challenged Diamond and killed her but I doubt it since with Arctic gone Snowfox was the only one left to inherith the throne and Snowfox knew Arctic didn't wish to return besides Queen Diamond wanted to destroy the NIghtwings just like Snowfox.
I imagine Snowfox just waited for Diamond to die naturally to get the throne, so yeah Queen Diamond got away with being the Devil made dragon
Wait wait wait, isn’t animus blood genetic? So couldn’t diamond just have some dragonets and pass it down? Or some other royal Icewing could pass it down?
Poor foeslayer and artic, their relationship turned toxic after they left the ice kingdom
Queen diamond is more evil, like a crown that whoever puts on hates nightwings, seriously?!
Also I have video idea
What if blue and luna were not flamesilks?
It is easy for us to judge Queen Diamond. Our animus dragon did not run off with a silly NightWing.
Still don’t understand how there were no more animus magic unless the IceWing royal blood was nonexistent. Which meant he had no siblings? No aunts? Uncles? Diamond didn’t have any other kids? Seeing how the other animus dragons seem to get magic it doesn’t come directly from ONE dragon???
Is it evil that I think she should have suffered a fate similar to Darkstalkers mom but worse? I think it would be perfect. Maybe an enchantment that make her feel the cold except a thousand times worse and shes locked up in a ice prison.
They should make a winglet on diamond or a legend
We need shadow monarch, sun jin woo
JMA, Cyprus, and now Doglover; what is today, Christmas?
XDD
That seriously means a lot though!
foeslayer did not deserve that fate before winter free'd her
Wow I never even payed any attention to queen diamond.
Sorry for watching this late! But what I’m going to say is. . .
I can kind of understand her. Her son randomly ran away from home and she had absolutely no idea why because he and Foeslayer “fell in love” so quickly. It was probably pretty embarrassing for her (think about what would happen if the Prince of England or something suddenly disappeared-it would probably be mass chaos) on top of completely depressing. Even if she wasn’t allowed to openly display her affection, all mothers love their children, and she probably loved Arctic, too.
Does this mean she has the right to trap her in a 2000 year infinite death loop? No. But does she have the right to be mad? I’d say so.
Probably give her a taste of her own medicine. Have her trapped in the Diamond Trial just like Foeslayer.
That would be wild :O Deserved though
Isn’t having nightmares about how Darkstalker can kill her every night is enough? And also losing lots of her subject due to the dagger?
The dagger AND dark stalker were directly HER fault
I think ice wings still have animals magic in there gene because in Dark stalker legend Clear sight told Dark stalker not to kill Diamond for seven years because in seven years diamond has dragonets and Diamond dragonets would have the among gene
Ok I think I know how to punish her even though she is dead I will use a piece of Darkstalker scroll to enchant a ring that one you tossed it will transform into a portal that travels back in time and when you touch it no turn back into a ring that you can use it again what's that ready think all the time near Queen diamond's time after darkstalker was put underneath the mountain and clearsight went to the other continent and when Queen diamond is on the edge of death use darkstalkers piece of animas Scroll enchant that all of her animus magic Shelby trapped inside a diamond amulet and never returned to her I can only be used by a purse of heart and a good soul and then (this part is brutal) cut her tongue for she has lie make her blind for eyes are full of hate for she was never a good Queen to begin with
If it were up to me, I'd bring her back from death simply to swap her place with Foeslayer, then put her through something similar just to make her see how it feels to be killed and resurrected hundreds, if not thousands of times for the pettiest of reasons, only ever allowed to experience life in the moments just before she gets murdered again before coming back to life and being forced to wait for the next pair of naive dragons to do it all over again.
Probably one of the most awesome evil characters out there
Love her wouldn’t wanna know her tho
I wish Queen Diamond wasnt dead so she could experience the same thing Hope went through>:)
Atleast Darkstalker enchanted her to have nightmares about how he'd kill her so
rare Darkstalker W
XD
Scarlet might be Diamonds reincarnation
I still stand by my belief that Diamond destroyed the gift of understanding(correct me if the name is wrong)
Queen Diamond Winglet Team
If Queen Diamond of the IceWings was pure evil, what does that make Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings?
Daimond is almost crazier the the discord
I think we all sorta know that she's the worst and silently agree
Oh no 😮😮😮
Diamond was the dragon version of a boy mom.
Ur the best
I dunno, it's weird that Onyx, an adult, was way too close and personal with underage kids as dragons. But yeah, Diamond is awful.
Queen diamond invents racism 😿
If she never interfered nothing would’ve happened
@ApteryxTheRainWing yes
5:22 5:22
I hate Diamond so much
