Description
Allknowing was looming and large, with a long neck and sharp-edged bones. Her voice dripped with icicles, and she glittered with poise and diamonds. She had a composed expression.
Personality
Allknowing was glowering, snappy, scowling, wickedly amused, snide, clipped, and unfriendly. She stalked around, narrowed her eyes, and spoke to Clearsight in a barking voice during her first day of class. She swelled like a poisonous viper when she was upset, and had a hissing voice and a withering scowl. She was dangerously resentful and ignorant.
Biography
Legends
Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker
Clearsight met Allknowing on her first day of school in the NightWing school#Tower of Knowledge|Tower of Knowledge. Allknowing appeared to take an instant detest towards Clearsight from their first meeting, given her age and ability to search the future. To combat Allknowing's challenge, Clearsight makes three predictions, prompting Allknowing to quote her prophecy: "Dragon of chaos, tangling the webs, too many eyes and too many threads." She concluded that her new student's name was Clearsight, much to the awe of her students, Jewel-eyes, Vision, and Morrowwatcher.
Allknowing reappeared later in Queen Vigilance's court, "glittering with poise and diamonds." Clearsight warned Queen Vigilance that the IceWings were planning an invasion by sea on North Beach. Queen Vigilance, surprised by the simplicity of this prediction, asked Allknowing if she knew of this future. Allknowing replied that she did have such a vision, one about waves of ice dragons and a midnight menace. Queen Vigilance impolitely complimented Allknowing on her prophecies' poetic nature, proceeding to make Clearsight her new personal seer.
She was later seen when Clearsight had been summoned to Queen Vigilance's court. Queen Vigilance re-appointed Allknowing as her seer, as she gave her a prophecy of Darkstalker killing the queen and ruling the NightWings. Clearsight had failed to foresee this potential future due to a spell from Darkstalker.

Clearsight

She was dangerously ignorant and resentful of Clearsight's powers. After Clearsight replaced her as the queen's head seer, she believed Clearsight had betrayed her and gave her a cold send-off.
Prophecies
