'Pineapple' is an adult male RainWing who
was introduced in The Dangerous Gift. He was a member of the stealth
team on the journey to Pantala and was briefly under the control of the
othermind. He currently resides in the RainWing village and is in a
relationship with Jambu.

## Description

Pineapple is serious-looking, but his scales change color often. While
he was flying to Pantala, he had iridescent gold and rose scales with
cyan all over, which was almost too pretty to look at directly. He is
bigger and heavier than Luna.

## Personality

Pineapple is curious, mild, polite, agreeable, and appeared to be rested
and happy whilst in the RainWing village. Although Luna questioned why
he kept falling asleep during their flight to Pantala, he was not at all
embarrassed, and simply explained suntime to her. He apparently has no
enemies; he was anxious when he was sent before Wasp, and felt guilty
about using his venom on her. He accepted a drink from one of the
HiveWing guards while he was imprisoned, and he later watched
Cottonmouth with a faraway expression, as though he was trying to
unravel a tapestry, knot by knot, with his mind. He likes to be helpful,
and did not let on that he was missing Jambu back at home, instead
acting cheerful and even-keeled around his companions. He was kind and
sympathetic towards Freedom, even after she was rude towards him.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left
The Dangerous Gift
Pineapple was
first mentioned when Snowfall was describing the chosen dragons for the
stealth team. She mentioned that Queen Glory had to chose two dragons
for the journey to Pantala, one of which who was Pineapple, who would be
the RainWing representative.

The Flames of Hope
Pineapple was
searching for marine life underwater with Sky and Wren on the beach near
Jerboa III's hut. He was close to falling asleep several times during
the flight to Pantala. When the stealth team was attacked by a group of
mind-controlled HiveWings, Pineapple, along with Tsunami and Qibli,
fought against the HiveWings. Pineapple was knocked out by the HiveWings
during the fight and was brought back to the Hives, unconscious.

He appeared when Freedom, Luna, and Dusky were watching the events
taking place at Wasp Hive. Cottonmouth interrogated Tsunami, Pineapple,
and Qibli about Sundew's whereabouts. Qibli was able to distract
Cottonmouth enough to give time for Pineapple to shoot Queen Wasp with
his venom. While Wasp was incapacitated, Pineapple, Qibli and Tsunami
were able to escape the Hive and then Cottonmouth revealed that one of
the three had accepted a drink containing the breath of evil, who was
later revealed to be Pineapple.

Pineapple later appeared in the mindspace after Cottonmouth possessed
his real world body. Luna convinced Pineapple to allow Freedom to see
his memories, in return for Luna and Dusky being freed from the vines in
the real world. In his vision, Pineapple was shown napping with his
partner, Jambu. Glory suddenly appeared to wake Jambu up as sun time had
ended already. Glory came to ask whether or not Jambu would 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. The vision ended
here.

Moon appeared in the mindspace and found Pineapple there. She kept
checking in on Pineapple regularly, and Pineapple told her about giving
Freedom one memory from each dragon. After Cricket was injected by
Carabid, Pineapple left to go take care of her and left Luna to deal
with the othermind. After Luna defeated the othermind, she met up with
Pineapple, Cricket, Qibli and Sundew outside of the abyss.

In the epilogue, Luna mentioned that Pineapple and Jambu promised to
visit Pantala soon.

## Relationships

### Jambu

Jambu is Pineapple'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.

### Luna

Luna describes Pineapple as her new favorite Pyrrhia|Pyrrhian friend,
and he is physically affectionate towards her. Luna would often find
reasons to fly with him during their journey to Pantala, and he smiles
at her. She was desperately worried when Pineapple was attacked by
HiveWings. and wondered frantically how they could rescue him. She felt
oncoming tears after he was captured. She understood perfectly how
Pineapple felt after using his venom on Wasp, and wanted to tell him
that it was necessary and that she deserved it. When they were finally
reunited, she jumped to catch him before he fell, and patted his face
gently before asking if he was all right. After seeing a memory between
Pineapple and his partner Jambu, Luna wished that Pineapple had told her
if he was missing his partner; Luna thought that she could have given
him a hug or said thank you for coming on the journey and risking so
much to help save Swordtail. She then promised him that they were going
to get him home, and that he would see Jambu again, causing Pineapple to
smile and for little rays of yellow to bloom all around his scales. She
felt even closer to him after experiencing one of his memories.

### Sky

Pineapple seems to find Sky a very delightful dragon, and he smiles at
him. Sky asked if Pineapple was all right after he was captured by
HiveWings. Sky was determined to rescue him, despite Wren's protests,
and considers Pineapple a friend.

## Quotes

That's how I felt about NightWings when they first came to the
rainforest. They'd done all these terrible things, and they thought they
were the only dragons worth caring about, and that everything should
belong to them and they should get to decide how all other dragons lived
their lives. I thought they were too different from us and they'd only
cause trouble. I didn't see how we could even start forgiving them. But
they're more like us than I expected. They wanted to live somewhere safe
and take care of their families.

It was like ... that feeling when you're holding up a huge
bunch of bananas while someone saws them free, and then suddenly the
last fiber is cut, but you weren't paying attention, so the whole thing
plummets out of your talons and it's like, ack! oops! but wow, you
feel so much lighter. Sad about the bananas, though. Hmmm. Maybe that
wasn't the best analogy.

There was an odd in-between time when I felt like myself but
still sort of ... tethered, maybe? And then I felt her and the plant go,
and I was all me again.
