## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Hidden Kingdom

After the dragonets of destiny were taken to the Rainforest Kingdom,
Liana informed Glory what the tranquilizer darts were and explained what
the concept of suntime was. She was visibly irritated when Glory reacted
calmly to not knowing about those things. Glory thought that Liana
realized she was stolen from the RainWing
village#Description|hatcheries, which led Starflight to figure out that
the lack of sunshine in the Claws of the Clouds Mountains#Notable
Features|caves the dragonets of destiny had grown up in had made Glory
harsher and grumpier, her scales duller than a typical RainWing's. Liana
and the rest of the RainWing group then led the dragonets back to the
RainWing village, where suntime began and Liana left. Later, Liana
returned to escort the dragonets to Queen Magnificent's treehouse.

During the RainWing Royal Challenge, Glory considered having Liana on
her team for the RainWing Royal Challenge, but dismissed the idea and
picked Tamarin for her team instead.

Island with their tranquilizers. Liana and Grandeur used the NightWing
spears to free the captured RainWings. Liana was then seen completing

## Quotes

It's easier to meet new dragons this way. We've had a couple of
grumpy brown ones stumble in here, and for some reason they start biting
us before we can even say hello. This way we get to chat first, while
they're still a bit groggy.

You can hunt if you want, but really, it's a waste of energy.
And it's almost our sun time, so if you must, then do it quietly.

The sun recharges our scales while we sleep. It makes us
prettier, better at camouflage, smarter, and happier. What could be more
important than that?

Oh, that monster. […] Your face! That was so worth it. I'm
just kidding, little black dragon. I don't know anything about any dead
MudWings, but I do know we don't have any monsters here.
