John was the only member of the Wing family who knew that Day was alive after he "failed" his trial. It is said that John was waiting for Day when he passed his Trials.
He had difficulties with reading, which is the reason why he barely passed his own trial; in Prodigy it is revealed that he was smart but he was dyslexic and bad at studies.
Day expresses a lot of times across the trilogy that John was a very selfless person and that he had a very protective nature about his mother and brothers, so much so that he took Day's place before the firing squad in Legend and died to save him. When June rescued John and Day, he knew they would get killed. So John ran back and pretended to be Day, just so that they could survive. Day constantly revisits John's violent death, which he viewed on the JumboTrons around the Republic.
Day was traumatized by John's death, but June told him that John gave his life so that Day could escape and later on save Eden, their little brother, who had the plague.
Physical Appearance[]
John looks a lot like Day, having blue eyes and blond hair. He was slightly taller than Day. They had small facial differences, unnoticeable unless compared side-by-side. Day also had a slight hunch in his shoulders, whereas John is more straight-backed. Also, as described near the end of the book, Legend, John is described by Day to have broader shoulders and his mouth looks more like their father, Taylor Arslan Wing, than their mother's, Grace Wing.
Personality[]
John was very protective of his younger siblings, as well as his mother, Grace. He once stated that he would rather die than see Day harmed. Day describes John as caring and responsible. He also states that John had a patient and gentle streak, which he got from Taylor, their father. John was incredibly self-sacrificing, as he went back to the firing squad hall to save Day and allow him and June more time to escape Batalla Hall, knowing full well that this would result in his passing.
