Tune's Links
Tune hadn't met any other Mud'Wings before he met Swan. He hadn't actually met any other tribes, so to become friends with Swan, and listen to her talk about where she lives and her amazing family was definitely refreshing. Tune can't imagine just how strong Swan must be inside to have seen the world at its worst, and still have so much faith in the future.
Swan only met Tune when she started going to school, but it feels like much longer. It was refreshing to find a dragon who hadn't been affected by the war like the other dragon'ets, and who didn't judge her for being a 'fake' Mud'Wing. She loved how accepting and encouraging the young dragon was, always ready to talk about something new or do a different activity
Tune grew under Rhubarb's wing, staying in the nursery for much of his dragon'ethood. He had trouble in school, often finding it difficult to focus and listen to the teachers, and so was sent to the nursery much of the time. Here Tune was taught by Rhubarb, who unlike the other Rain'Wing teachers, was willing to wait for him and properly help him when he needed it. It is with Rhubarb that Tune properly learnt how to tree'hop, spit acid, fly, and learn the different flora and fauna in the rainforest.
Rhubarb felt for the young dragon'et when he first arrived in the nursery. He had already made it his mission to protect all the dragon'ets in the tribe, and that included making sure that they were all taught the appropriate life skills for their future. So when Tune, and many other dragon'ets, began showing up in the nursery, Rhubarb began teaching them.
When Jade Mountain Academy opened the second year, Rhubarb pushed for Tune to be accepted to go, knowing that this would be the best opportunity he would have to grow
While Tune hadn't been taken by the Night'Wings himself, it was common knowledge that they had kidnapped and tortured numerous Rain'Wings, betraying any trust that they may have had with the tribe previously. Tune does understand that Dark'Hunter has nothing to do with the previous generations actions, but she still can't help but feel fearful around the dragon'et. She wishes that she didn't feel this unease, but she is too frightened to actively seek a friendship with any of the Night'Wings at Jade'Mountain, including Dark
Dark hasn't gotten the opportunity to connect with Tune as much as she has with Swan. Tune is much too energetic and extroverted for Dark, and she can always feel the young dragons unease whenever she is around. Dark instead purposefully avoids the rain'wing, not wanting to cause him anymore unease and discomfort than he may already have with the other Night'Wings around him
