'Jambu' is an adult male RainWing prince who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. He currently
works as a tree gliding instructor for the dragonets in the Rainforest
Kingdom and is the half-brother of Queen Glory. He currently resides in
the RainWing village and is in a relationship with Pineapple.

## Description

Jambu generally keeps his scales a vibrant raspberry-pink color.

## Personality

Jambu is adventurous, respectful, pitying, positive, and sympathetic.
Upon first meeting him, Glory considered him to be stupid and the
dizziest, most useless dragon she had ever met. He seemed as if he did
not care at all about her abduction, shrugging at the thought of
bothering to count the RainWing village's eggs. He is lazy and is
horrified by the idea of using his venom on other dragons.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Hidden Kingdom

Jambu, along with Liana and a few other RainWings, caught the
dragonets of destiny when they first entered the Rainforest Kingdom.
They knocked out Clay, Sunny, and Tsunami with sleeping darts.

and Glory comparing venom He brought them back to the RainWing village
and spent time with Glory, educating her about the RainWing culture.
During this time, they compared their venom and discovered that they
were relatives, likely half-siblings. He revealed to Glory that the
RainWings have no fixed parents system and every dragonet was raised
collectively by the village.File:Mush-2.png|thumb|200px|Jambu being
sabotaged After Mangrove ran away from the Rainforest Kingdom through
one of the NightWing tunnels in hopes of finding Orchid, his partner,
Jambu accompanied Glory and the other dragonets on their search to find
him, bringing them to the borders of the Ice Kingdom and Blaze's
fortress. Glory and Jambu disguised themselves as IceWings to gain
entrance, and once inside, they spotted Mangrove camouflaged in a
corner. The two managed to convince Blaze to come outside to meet the
dragonets.

Later, when Glory challenged the RainWing queen|queens for the throne,
Jambu competed in the treetop race against Exquisite. He lost after some
of Exquisite's sloths tossed vines in his way, nearly choking him.
However, Glory won the overall challenge due to Grandeur's forfeit
against Kinkajou, when she found that she and Glory were related.

Jambu became one of Glory's most trustworthy RainWings after her
coronation. He participated in Glory's mission to rescue the imprisoned
RainWings in the Night Kingdom and was one of the first dragons to go
through the portal. Starflight described him as either "brave" or not
knowing what he was getting himself into." He was also described as
being one of the best shots with a blowgun.

When Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and Preyhunter used the
Obsidian Mirror to spy on Glory, she was shown instructing Jambu and
Grandeur to count all the NightWings in the rainforest. Jambu was uneasy
over this and was revealed only to be able to count to twenty. Later,
Glory sent Jambu and Mangrove back to the Ice Kingdom to convince Blaze
to attend the peace summit in SandWing stronghold|Burn's stronghold.
However, the mission failed because Queen Glacier refused to let Blaze
leave the kingdom, unwilling to risk all the land she had promised her
tribe.

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

left Winter Turning

He was seen, smarting off to his half-sister, Queen Glory, while he was
watching over the unconscious Icicle. He and the healers told Glory the
story of the RainWing that could not change his scale color; this
RainWing was later revealed to be Chameleon.

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Flames of Hope
Jambu was seen in
Pineapple's memory. In that vision, Jambu was shown sleeping with his
partner, Pineapple. Glory suddenly appeared to wake Jambu up as suntime
has ended already. Jambu commented that he was tired from watching
Peacemaker and his friends play. Glory asked for Jambu to come with her
to Sanctuary as dragons from Pantala have arrived there, but he refused.
Pineapple offered to go in his place, which Jambu happily agreed to as
he went back to sleep in his hammock.

At the end of The Flames of Hope, Luna mentioned that Jambu and
Pineapple promised to visit Pantala soon.

## Relationships

### Glory

Glory did not know she had a half-brother until she met him in the
Rainforest Kingdom and did the venom test. At first, Glory was
unimpressed, seeing him as ridiculous and silly like all the other
RainWings. However, Jambu helped her get Blaze to meet the dragonets and
nearly beat Exquisite in the tree-gliding competition, one of the five
contests that decided who would become the queen of the RainWings. He
was only stopped by a vine, possibly used by a collection of Exquisite's
sloths, that wrapped around his neck, nearly strangling him. He appears
to be one of her most trusted dragons now, even if he is incompetent. He
also makes sure Glory takes her daily sun time, noting that it makes her
less grumpy and more recharged. Glory can count on him, and he was her
first choice as the RainWing representative for a queen's gathering.

### Peacemaker

Jambu often looks over Peacemaker and his friends, but he is quite
exhausted by Peacemaker's energy.

### Pineapple

Pineapple is Jambu's partner. Pineapple appears rested and happy while
they are together, and Jambu calls their time together "Pineappletime."
Pineapple laughed with him and reassured Jambu that he would always be
there for him, and they joke with one another quite often. He grins at
Jambu and is physically affectionate towards him. He was quick to assure
Jambu that he does lots of helpful things, and was willing to take
Jambu's place on the stealth team so that he could rest. They love one
another and often spend lots of time together cuddling, eating
chocolate, and making up songs about pandas.

## Quotes

That means we're related! […] You're my little sister!

That's how we know. […] If your venom made [the leaf] melt
faster, then we'd know we're not related, so we could have eggs
together. But when your venom cancels out the other dragon's, you come
from the same family. Can you believe we're brother and sister? Well,
OK, we're probably only half brother and sister. But still, it's pretty
cool.

This is better than sun time! I feel like I've been rolled in
sunlight and stuffed with bananas. I bet the rest of the tribe would
love to come through that tunnel and have their sun time here on the
sand.

You bet, no problem, Your Majesty, except uh… so, counting. Um.
Don't get me wrong, I'm really good at it. Up to, like… twenty? That's a
pretty big number, right? There probably aren't more NightWings here
than that.

Nightwings The Brightest Night

He was awful. […] Sometimes I would wake up from my suntime
nap and he'd just be standing there staring at me. And he couldn't
camouflage himself, and you could never tell what he was feeling by
looking at his scales. […] That's our cautionary tale of what happens
when you don't sleep, […] Ahem. Your Majesty.
