Description[edit | edit source]
Life[edit | edit source]
Jerboa was an animus under Queen Scorpion's rule. She resided in the SandWing Stronghold preforming spells for her queen, including healing and longevity spells.[1] Jerboa had always wanted a dragonet, but Scorpion had kept her away from other dragons.[2]
Jerboa eventually fled from the Kingdom of Sand and hid in other kingdoms, such as the Mud Kingdom.[3] While in the Mud Kingdom, she had the idea to turn an animal egg into a dragon egg so that she could have a dragonet of her own,[4] but then decided to wait until Scorpion died to ensure her dragonet's safety from her.[5]
Jerboa, while under longevity spells of her own,[6] waited sixty years[7] before enchanting Queen Scorpion to have a heart attack in her sleep.[8] Jerboa created Jerboa II, who "went wrong". It's unknown what happened to Jerboa II, other than she is "gone".[9] Jerboa eventually created Jerboa III.

She’s not sure she'll ever be able to set her talons in the desert again — at least, not until Queen Scorpion is dead. Which won't be for a long time, thanks to those healing and longevity spells Jerboa was forced to make for her."
- ↑ The Dangerous Gift, chapter 21, paragraph 7. "She sighs and rests her head on her claws. She’s always wanted a dragonet of her own, but Queen Scorpion kept her away from other dragons. And now that she’s a fugitive, that dream is even further away than ever."

She hates the Mud Kingdom; hates everything about it, from the gloppy swamp between her talons to the incessant gurgling sound of water coming from somewhere. It’s never warm enough and she never feels dry, even when she retreats to her cave. She is constantly worried that Queen Crane might find her and she'll have to flee to yet another kingdom."

Jerboa herself, the first Jerboa, hadn’t planned to ever talk about the daughter who went wrong. Because it didn’t matter. She was gone, and now Jerboa and the next Jerboa were together and they could just be happy, couldn't they?"
