Reading through WT still and...man...I just feel bad for Hailstorm.
This happens after Eagle, a friend of Pyrite, chewed him out and called him weird for approaching him like they're friends.
Hailstorm is such a fascinating character and it saddens me that he's only given such a brief time to really shine.
Picture this: you're Hailstorm. You're at the top of the circles, the placement that all IceWings strive for but very few actually achieve. You're the nephew of Queen Glacier and are well respected by your tribe for being a level-headed battle warrior. However, you certainly aren't a soulless monster. You care a lot about your younger siblings. You always try to be there for them. You gotta be the best big brother you can be.
Unfortunately, you're then ambushed by the SkyWing guards. You give yourself up immediately to save your younger brother's life, knowing that they'll probably kill him if you don't give yourself up willingly. You're taken into the dungeon for seemingly ever until an odd necklace is placed on you.
In a blank of an eye, you're no longer Hailstorm. You're Pyrite. You're loyal to Queen Scarlet. You're clumsy and ditzy. You are bad at just about everything. You're a socially awkward mess. You're virtually the opposite of everything that this 'Hailstorm' dragon was. Who even is he? You don't care. You don't know.
You then go about your life, living as free as can be. You have friends. You make memories. You're happy. Truly, actually happy. There are no responsibilities. No rules or regulations. No customs to abide by. No social system that crushes you and everyone you love. Everything is perfect. This is your life after all.
But, a couple other dragons come by. Only a day or so after meeting them, they take odd your necklace. Your body warps and painfully shifts around. Your scales melt away before finally...you're Hailstorm again.
But, that can't be right. You're Pyrite. You've always been her. That's who you are. That's the dragon you've been. You can't be this seemingly great and heroic IceWing. Your memories clash with one another. Everything is a blizzard of confusion and fear. Anything you say sounds completely ridiculous to anybody around you as you try to make sense of it all.
You're...scared. You just want to go home, where you're safe and everything makes sense. But, where even is home? It's the Ice Kingdom, right? But, after getting that taste of freedom, of that glorious, beautiful freedom, you yearn for it. You can't simply go back to being 'Hailstorm'. Pyrite is a part of you.
Hailstorm is just such an interesting character. Out of all of the dragons to get a winglet, I want him. I want a Hailstorm winglet so badly. I want to see his character explored. I want to see him struggle with IceWing society. I want to see how he is coping with everything.
God. The IceWing royals just can't catch a break.

Pyrite and hailstorm are such good characters
I love how hailstorm didn’t immediately go back to ‘hmph im a icewing boring boring’ but wanted to go back to being pyrite
I think it also shows how shitting icewing parenting and living in general is by the fact that he would rather stay as a skywing then go back to being himself
I think that his reaction to the whole situation was pretty well done and its such a good idea

(Btw, the nicknames are only accurate jokes. I love this series and no one can stop me from joking on it <3)
Also, I do say that I have gotten more attached to Hailstorm and his story. We need another POV after he is released from the Pyrite mask. My curiosity CRAVES.
