==Background==
==Usage==
===Personality===
<pre>
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.<ref name ="Penguin.co.uk"> [http://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781409391265,00.html Skylanders Official Annual 2013, page 14]</ref> However, she doesn't keep a calm head when provoked.<ref>Skylanders Universe: The Complete Collection, page 9</ref> 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===
|alignment=accepted values: pandergast/villain/element, leave blank to disable
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===
|type=
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.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/Skylanders-Official-Sticker-Book-Meet/dp/1409391213/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342650783&sr=1-6&keywords=Skylanders Skylanders Official Sticker Book: Meet the Skylanders]</ref>
|role=
 
|function=
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.

|attack=
===''Return of the Dragon King''===
|appearances=
Whirlwind was one of the many Skylanders that were summoned to stop [[Malefor]] from attacking the [[Skylanders Academy]]. Under Blades' command, she and the other aerial dragons charged towards Malefor to attack his eyes, but were all swiftly shot down by the evil dragon's powerful flamethrower. Whirlwind's powers were then absorbed by Malefor when he defeated the other Skylanders with a single strike of his tail. When [[Spyro]], [[Cynder]], [[Hex]] and [[Wallop]] destroyed the crystal Malefor used to steal Skylander powers, the act restored all of the Skylanders' strength and abilities, including Whirlwind's.

==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.
 
She holds the ability to enchant an object with her power, as evident when she empowered the Illuminator in Winter Keep. In ''[[Skylanders: Battlecast]]'', Whirlwind also has the ability to conduct lightning through her horn to shock enemies and drain their health with a vortex or tornado. Her Special Ability is the ''Dragon's Wisdom'', which raises the XP of her team, and her signature Gear is the ''Chromatic Bauble'', which restores health to whichever ally is active.

==Trivia==
*Whirlwind was originally called '''Stormee'''.
*She is currently the only Skylander to be mentioned in a story chapter and a Story Scroll, as Winter Keep seems to be a level dedicated to the unicorn/dragon Skylander.
*Her early promotional title in her Toy Fair 2011 debut was called "Tempest Dragon."
*Like [[Cynder]], [[Echo]], [[Spotlight]] and [[Flashwing]], Whirlwind has no visible teeth.
**Incidentally, they are all the only dragon Skylanders in the games who are female.
*When Whirlwind revealed that one of her attacks was called the Rainbow of Doom, [[Flynn]] laughed, which proved to be a mistake when Whirlwind lashed out at him. Afterwards Flynn was back on his feet after just a few weeks, implying that Whirlwind went easy on him than she normally would when angered.<ref>Skylanders Universe: Book of Elements - Air & Earth, page 20</ref>
*Her catchphrase is a play on "Fists of Fury."
*Whirlwind can also use her rainbow energy to heal her friends in battle.
*She bears a few similarities to the ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ''character, [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Rainbow_Dash Rainbow Dash] (both possess rainbow and storm manipulation).
*When shooting a rainbow once the Rainbow of Healing uprade is purchased and as a Series 2 figure, Whirlwind's unicorn horn is colored from yellow and pink.
*When she obtains the Wow-Pow ability, Whirlwind's horn begins glowing in colors of the rainbow. In ''Swap Force'', she cannot. However there is a glitch that means that horn blast whirlwinds horn will continue to glow in the colors of the rainbow after using a rainbow based attack, and if the Rainbow Singularity isn't charged all the way, then her horn will glow colorfully until it is fully charged and then shot.
*The Tempest Matrix upgrade resembles the attacks of the [[Arkeyan Blasters]] from ''Spyro's Adventure''.
*There is a glitch that Whirlwind is still able to fly even after jumping.
*Ironically, Whirlwind's Series 3 counterpart's Wow Pow ability affect her horn's powers.
*In ''Trap Team'', Horn Blast Whirlwind appears to have two Wow Pows instead of one. She can perform "Cloudbursting" much like her Series 2 version.
*She, [[Breeze]], and [[Astroblast]] are the only Skylanders capable of healing others.
**There is a glitch where they can actually heal the Mabu soldiers with their Rainbows of Doom in [[Mystic Mill]] and [[Operation: Troll Rocket Steal]].
**She and [[Breeze]] are the only Skylanders capable of healing any Skylander while [[Astroblast]] is only capable of healing Skylanders of the [[Life]] element.
* Although not a bird herself, Whirlwind is able to access the Bird House in ''[[Skylanders: Lost Islands]]''.
* At the Skylanders Academy, there is a glitch that prevents Whirlwind from jumping over the entrance of one of the coin mazes near the Adventure Pack gate.
* Whirlwind's name is the base for [[Scratch]]'s upgrade 'Whirlwing' and the attack of the villainess [[Bad Juju (villain)|Bad Juju]].
** Coincidentally, they are all females of the [[Air]] element.
*She, [[Spyro]] and [[Chop Chop]] are currently the only Skylanders with Elite counterparts who have not been reposed for ''[[Skylanders: SuperChargers]].''
*Though her tempest clouds can create eletricity, Whirlwind only uses it herself in ''Skylanders: Battlecast'', as well as manipulate wind currents to drain a foe's health in contrast to her Healing Rainbows.
