I like Winter. His character developed a bunch in book 7, and he means well. His parents were mean to him, and IceWings raise their dragonets to obey every order and think that they are superior. He sacrificed his chance at a rank in the First Circle for his brother Hailstorm. He cares for his sister Icicle when she hides on the NightWing island and loses sleep, insisting to stay with her in the RainWing village. He even chooses to save Foeslayer, the dragon he read stole the last IceWing animus, who was cured to die over 100 times and to be completely trapped in ice.
WINTER IS A GOOD CHARACTER STOP BADMOUTHING HIM
