Biography
Assassin
Piranha is first seen coming out of the water next to Commander Tempest, and is seen as her third-in-command. She seems to care a lot about her commander, and she "shrieked with rage" when she died. She became furious at the MudWings, thinking that they murdered Tempest.
The Lost Heir
After Kestrel's corpse was found a few islands away from the Summer Palace, Queen Coral orders Shark and Piranha to fly with her to the body.
Afterwards, Coral calls the SeaWing Council to a Council meeting. It is there that Tsunami realizes she is War Commander, as she sits in the war pool. Piranha reports to Coral that there is still "no info on the dead SkyWing." She then brings in two wounded soldiers (One of them being Herring's Brother) and tells them to report about a recent battle they had with the SkyWings to Coral.
Later, when Webs arrives at the Summer Palace, Piranha captures a SeaWing suspiciously lurking around the same area. This SeaWing turns out to be Riptide, and both Webs and Riptide are imprisoned in the Electric Eel Prison.
