'Splendor' is an adult female RainWing who was introduced in The Dark Secret (book)|The Dark
Secret. She was one of the six queens who took turns ruling the tribe
before Glory took the Dragon royalty|throne. She was the first to be
taken prisoner by the NightWings until Glory and Starflight freed her.

## Description

Splendor is described as skeletal and drab-gray while she was imprisoned
in the NightWing island#Dungeon|NightWing dungeons. However, her lean
figure may be due to lack of nutrition while in the dungeons, and her
coloration a result of her reactions to the miserable condition she was
in.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

#### The Hidden Kingdom

According to Mangrove, Splendor was the first of the RainWings to be
kidnapped by NightWings. Kinkajou later mentioned her as one of the
captured RainWings, when she was in the NightWing island#NightWing
fortress|NightWing fortress. The other RainWings had brushed off her
disappearance, and the other queens just skipped her turn.

#### The Dark Secret

It was revealed the NightWings assumed that if they captured the
RainWings' queen, the tribe would obey them, seeing their queen at their
mercy. However, this plan failed, as there was not much of a RainWing
monarchy, and most RainWings barely even noticed her absence. Splendor
accidentally sprayed Vengeance with venom when he captured her, scarring
him and leading him to hate RainWings, and landing her in the dungeons.

Starflight and Fatespeaker saw her as one of the captives in the
dungeon. Deathbringer had been locked in a cage beside Splendor. Shortly
before the volcano erupted, Starflight and Glory freed her. She was
described as terrified, her scales an acid green with fear, and wailed
that there was lava coming through the walls and that they were all
going to die. She ignored Starflight and Glory's attempts to calm her
down, but despite her shock, she survived and made it back to the
Rainforest Kingdom|rainforest.
