Whirlwind

Personality

Whirlwind is as brave as she is graceful. Her mood swings can be as changeable as the weather, but since becoming a Skylander, she has tried to keep her temper in check.[3] However, she doesn't keep a calm head when provoked.[4] Whirlwind is strong-winged, wild and ferocious. But deep down, she is pure of heart, having held no grudge against the dragons and unicorns for shunning her.

Biography

Whirlwind is an air dragon with unicorn ancestry – two species that could not be more opposite in nature, which made her never quite fit in with either group. Other dragons were envious of her beauty, while unicorns shunned her for her ability to fly. But Whirlwind found peace within the dark and stormy clouds, where she learned to harness the tempest power within her. Despite her turbulent youth, she was the first to defend both dragons and unicorns when the trolls began hunting them, unleashing her ferocity in a brilliant and powerful rainbow that could be seen throughout many regions of Skylands. From that day forward, evil-doers would quake when dark clouds brewed, and run from the rainbow that followed the storm.

History

Born of both unicorn and dragon descent, Whirlwind often felt like an oddball outsider. Unicorns were unimpressed with her wings and dragons disliked the horn on her head. Shunned and seeking solace, Whirlwind retreated to the cover of storm clouds, where she learned to harness her tempest power. When a troublesome troupe of trolls came searching for unicorn tails and dragon scales, Whirlwind burst from her cover and unleashed a blinding rainbow to send them fleeing. From that day on, unicorns and dragons saw her in a new light. Seeing her purity of heart, Master Eon made her a Skylander. Today, nothing makes a troll tremble like a small, stormy cloud moving speedily towards him.[5]

Some time after joining the Skylanders, Whirlwind would encounter and recruit Warnado.

Years later, Whirlwind rescued the Frost Elves of Winter Keep from a curse of eternal midnight by enchanting a crystal horn called the Illuminator to grant eternal daylight to the elves. This not only helped break the curse, but also protected the Keep and gave the elves courage during their fight against potential attacks. However, by granting eternal daylight, the Elves never know when it is time for bed.

Gameplay

As a result of spending time within dark storm clouds, Whirlwind gained the ability to shoot rainbow energy from her horn, which can also be used to heal her allies. She can launch storm clouds at her enemies with a single clap of her wings. Being part dragon, Whirlwind has the ability to fly.

Opting for the Ultimate Rainbower path further improves Whirlwind's 'Rainbow of Doom' attack, leaning to more offensive gameplay. The attack can be upgraded to launch a second rainbow, effectively extending the attack distance, and also deal more damage. The attack can also be charged up and then unleashed to create a 'Rainbow Singularity' black hole, sucking in enemies and leaving them susceptible to attacks.

Opting for the Tempest Dragon path further improves Whirlwind's tempest clouds, leaning to more defensive gameplay. The attack can be upgraded to do more damage, but also unleash more rainbows when hit by one. With the 'Tempest Matrix' upgrade, Whirlwind can create lightning between the clouds, allowing her to create a barrier that electrocutes enemies and protects her from attackers.
