'Magnificent' is an adult female RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The Hidden
Kingdom. She was one of the six former RainWing queens before Glory
ascended the throne and currently resides in the Rainforest Kingdom. She
was notorious for being one of the most forgetful RainWing queens during
her reign.

## Description

Magnificent has friendly, sleepy-looking green eyes. She is as large as
Coral and is adorned with several garlands of white dragonfly-wing
flowers. She typically keeps her scales magenta and her wings purple.

## Personality

Magnificent reflects negative RainWing stereotypes, as she is careless,
selfish, and lazy. Kinkajou described her as being forgetful and she had
little concern for the fact that several of her subjects were being
kidnapped and tortured during her reign, making no efforts to rescue
them even when she was frequently reminded of their disappearances by
Mangrove. When Glory told her she had found the missing RainWings, she
was relieved, not because her subjects were safe, but that Mangrove
would stop mentioning their disappearances.

Although lazy and incompetent as a ruler, Magnificent took great care to
ensure her success in the Dragon royalty#RainWing Royal
Challenge|RainWing Royal Challenge. As an ambitious queen, she had
planned several setups before the challenge, and even when she was
accused of cheating with clear evidence, she refused to admit what she
had done. She was very defensive of her title, although she neglected
her duties. She is easily irritated, and snapped at her fellow queen,
Exquisite, for referring to her as "Aunt Maggie."

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Hidden Kingdom

When Glory approached Magnificent with Mangrove about the
missing RainWings, Magnificent did not show any concern for the missing
RainWings and insisted that they were most likely just sleeping
somewhere before assigning Glory the task of looking into their
whereabouts, likely attempting to shut her up. This led to Glory finding
the secret home of the NightWings as well as the captive RainWings.

Glory came before Magnificent once more and told her to rescue the
captive members of her tribe, but the queen refused, not caring and
saying that they all wanted a rest. Enraged, Glory challenged her for
the RainWing throne. Surprised but intrigued, Magnificent accepted the
challenge, although she clearly felt contempt for the younger
Dragons|dragon.

However, according to RainWing tradition, queen-ship would be decided by
a tribe skill-based activity instead of a battle to the death. According
to Handsome, that was the way they had done it for years. For her
challenges, Magnificent chose to compete in five contests in teams. For
her team, Magnificent gathered the other RainWing queens, as Glory meant
to take the throne from all of them. However, she thought Glory would
choose her friends, the dragonets of destiny as that would make them
fail since these contests revolve around RainWing abilities. Glory,
assuming this would happen, chose Kinkajou, Tamarin, Mangrove, and
Jambu.

finding MagnificentMagnificent and Glory competed together in the
camouflage contest. Glory found Magnificent disguised as a bunch of
bananas in a fruit stand by following the gaze of the crowd of dragons.
When Glory hid, Magnificent scared Glory's sloth, Silver, into making a
beeline for Glory's hiding place, causing Magnificent to win the round.
She set up a stash of fruit to help Dazzling win the fruit gathering
contest (although Dazzling lost anyway, due to her eating some of the
fruits) and had Exquisite's sloths throttle Jambu in the treetop race.
Despite her cheating, she lost when Grandeur forfeited after learning
Glory was the true heir to the RainWing throne.

Magnificent was mentioned when Starflight realized Glory was right and
that Magnificent was wrong about the RainWings being in awful danger.
