Good Is Not Soft: She's the leader of a Wretched Hive, and while it was a lot worse before she and her "Outclaws" took over, she will resort to using fear to maintain order if necessary. Enemies List: Has compiled a list of dragons she wants revenge on - namely Morrowseer and Dune. Dartboard of Hate: She has wanted pictures for Morrowseer and a younger Dune used for throwing sharp things at. Dark Horse Victory: In the War of SandWing Succession. Big "NO!": When she learns Morrowseer is dead she becomes so angry she literally spits fire. Awesome Moment of Crowning: Is chosen by the Eye of Onyx to become the new Queen of the SandWings. 
Anger Born of Worry: When Qibli is hit by frostbreath in Darkness of Dragons, she screams at him not to faint. Amicable Exes: With Stonemover after The Brightest Night. 
This all happens in a Wretched Hive, during a civil war.
Adult Fear: She has her infant daughter (who was still in her egg) stolen from her, by someone she thought she could trust. Action Mom: She's Sunny's mom, Qibli's adoptive mom and a very powerful fighter. The Outclaws are trying to make things better (feeding starving dragonets, for one thing) but many SandWings are too distrustful to accept help. Wretched Hive: Decades of war have turned the few SandWing towns into ramshackle slums filled with beggars, mutilated veterans, and assassins openly hawking their services. Super Senses: Have enhanced sight and hearing. Poisonous Person: They possess potent venom in stingers on their tail. Playing with Fire: They can breathe fire. Sunny realizes this when the Eye accepts her, and wisely chooses to give it to someone else. Being the sort of dragon who would be a good ruler- who can protect her subjects and make hard decisions- is not. 
Based on the events of The Brightest Night, being a good dragon is the only prequisite. Many "legitimate" heirs refuse to take the risk of wearing it, especially because just what the Eye's criteria is has been lost to time. But if the Eye doesn't accept someone, they die instantly.
Only the Chosen May Wield: Among the royal SandWing treasures is the Eye of Onyx, an animus-enchanted necklace that singlehandedly gives its chosen enough power to rule the kingdom. That many SandWings still don't have enough to eat is a depressing commentary on how incompetent the rival queens are. They need much less food, can go longer without water, and endure extreme temperatures both hot and cold. SandWings are the toughest of the dragon tribes. My Blood Runs Hot: SandWings exude a small amount of heat, enough that other dragons can feel it without touching them.
