Background

As brave as she is graceful, Whirlwind's moods can be as changeable as the weather, but since becoming a Skylander, she has tried to keep her temper in check.[1]
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 and grace, while her unicorn brethren shunned her for her unusual appearance and 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 remained pure of heart and 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.
Story
History
Descended from both dragons and unicorns, Whirlwind was never accepted into either race. That is until she saw off a troll raiding party who were searching for unicorn tails and dragon scales. The trolls didn't know what hit them![2]
Abilities
As a result of spending time within dark storm clouds, Whirlwind gained the ability to shoot rainbow energy from her horn at her opponents; which can also heal her allies if she gained her Soul Gem ability. She can also launch storm clouds at her enemies with a clap of her wings. Being part dragon, Whirlwind has the ability to fly.
