**Glory** is an adult female RainWing and the main protagonist of *The Hidden Kingdom.*

She was a former dragonet of destiny and was partially responsible for the end of the War of SandWing Succession and the founding of Jade Mountain Academy.

## Appearance

Glory has green eyes and brilliant color-changing scales that are dull in comparison to other RainWings. She has soft wings, feathery ears, a long body, tail, and neck, and a long, delicate snout. She was always the "pretty one" back in the caves where the dragonets of destiny grew up in.

Unlike most fellow RainWings, Glory mostly tries to keep her scales from showing emotions and is therefore usually seen with dark, emerald green scales dappled with light and flares of orange around her ears and along the underside of her wings, since she likes them to match the leaves around her and the rainforest she lives in.

 Personality

Glory is often depicted as teasing, sarcastic, cross, snide, intelligent, fierce, firm, sniping, arch, ,bold, aloof, judgmental, brave, and impatient with anyone lazy or stupid. She has been described as the queen of sarcasm. For many years Glory acted as if she did not care about anything, until when she found out about the kidnapped RainWings. When Moonwatcher suggested that Glory return to the RainWing village for her own safety, she snorted as though she was sure she could handle anything. She has a steely ferocity about her, and Deathbringer described her as reckless. However, Glory's punishment for Icicle was fair, and Glacier stated that she was an unusual queen for choosing a path toward peace and cooperation over clear and simple vengeance. She is thoughtful and fair. She often wants to be a fair queen to the NightWings too. Although she did not seem to be bothered by the memory of using her venom to attack Scarlet, she is unwilling to use her venom on dragons who are unable to fight back. She often refuses to take orders from anyone, and Tsunami once regarded her to be the least trustworthy and most dangerous out of the dragonets of destiny. She speaks for herself, and the RainWing color for happiness does not often appear on her scales. She used to believe she could do everything all by herself, but her thoughts changed after her friends helped her win the RainWing royal challenge.

Upon meeting Winter, she beckoned him to walk beside her as an equal and greeted him as visiting royalty. According to Qibli, she is well known for being a fair, kind and good queen. It is hard to figure out what she truly wants, but Moonwatcher stated that she would not want enchanted obedience or fake love from her NightWing subjects.

## Relationship

### Deathbringer

When Glory first met Deathbringer, she had been disguised as an IceWing, trying to probe information out of him. Given her personality, Deathbringer gave her more information than what was intended about his mission and then began to flirt with her. Glory was sarcastic with him and did not like his flirting, but he liked her even more because of it and helped her escape the NightWing island when she was imprisoned. The current status between the two is "Bodyguard to Queen." Glory mentioned that she viewed Deathbringer's attempted arrest of Winter as annoying instead of romantic or heroic, but she also spoke to him in a low, surprisingly affectionate voice that made Winter rethink everything he had assumed about the queen and her overenthusiastic bodyguard. Deathbringer once stated that he was half a dragon before he met Glory, and would be even less if he lost her. Deathbringer likes her for her personality and how when he suggests something, she shoots him down, which he finds amusing.

In *The Dark Secret*, Deathbringer described her as beautiful, sarcastic, and fascinating. Glory also said she was not leaving without Deathbringer. When Glory was helping him out of the prison, Glory retorted at him, but Starflight saw that she and Deathbringer "exchanged a look that said 'thank you' and a whole lot more." Adding to that, in *The Brightest Night*, Deathbringer kept flirting with her, which Glory dismissed. He even put his wing around Glory and she let him, which is somewhat unusual given her personality. In *Moon Rising*, Moon had a vision of Glory and Deathbringer's possible future having an heir together named Firefly. In *Winter Turning*, Deathbringer is constantly trying to protect Glory and muttering to the queen when she says she does not need help. In *Escaping Peril*, Sunny says "Glory has magical death spit and Deathbringer and a whole army of RainWings who would die for her." It is implied that Glory and Deathbringer have feelings for one another, and their romantic relationship has been made officially canon by Tui T. Sutherland. It was once stated that Glory failed to keep her scales from turning pink when Deathbringer laid one wing over her. Glory sometimes shows annoyance when Deathbringer flirts with her, but she may also quite enjoy it.
