SandWing who was introduced in Darkness of Dragons. She is a member of the Talons of Power, and her last known
whereabouts were in the Scorpion Den.

## Description

Rattlesnake is hulking, muscular, large, and burly. She wears a black
hood and a golden medallion etched with the image of a vulture, and she
has five Dragons|dragon skull tattoos trailing from her head like a
long, morbid earring. Either she or Sirocco looks a lot like Qibli, and
she has a menacing tail. She is larger than Sirocco.

## Personality

Rattlesnake is often cruel, malevolently delighted, and speaks in a
menacing singsong. She enjoys violence, is menacing, and is often prone
to yelling and snapping at other dragons.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Brightest Night

When Sunny asked whether Thorn was Qibli's family, he said Thorn saved
him from his original family, indirectly mentioning Rattlesnake.

-----

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Moon Rising

Moon had a vision about Qibli fighting Rattlesnake and Sirocco, with
Vulture glowering at him as well. Qibli was shouting, "Where is she?,"
referring to Cobra, at the sneering faces of his siblings.

#### Winter Turning

Qibli mentioned that he had a sinister older sister, just as Winter had
Icicle.

#### Escaping Peril

Rattlesnake, alongside Sirocco, was one of the dragons who Turtle
thought looked like Qibli. She was arguing with a SkyWing over
Plants#Dragonflame_cactus|dragonflame cacti prices while Turtle and
Peril were in Possibility.

#### Talons of Power

Rattlesnake was indirectly mentioned when Qibli said that he had
siblings who liked to pick on him.

Later, a group of dragons, which had most likely included Rattlesnake
and Sirocco, terrified some SandWings by setting off some dragonflame
cacti.

#### Darkness of Dragons

Rattlesnake was one of the dragons who apprehended Winter and Qibli at
her old home. Later, Cobra attempted to kill Rattlesnake and Sirocco,
saying that Qibli was her only dragonet, which was an act to gain his
trust. Qibli stopped her from killing his siblings, and Winter knocked
Rattlesnake unconscious, leaving her and Sirocco bound and gagged in the
Vulture's compound|compound.

## Relationships

### Cobra

Cobra did not pay much attention to Rattlesnake, and did not care much
what she did. She often spoke harshly towards her.

### Qibli

Alongside Sirocco, Rattlesnake threw Qibli into walls, trapped his tail
in doors, or buried him in sand.

### Sirocco

Rattlesnake views Sirocco as an embarrassment, and resents him because
she believes he makes her look stupid in front of Vulture.
