"My student Kinkajou ran off during a venom training session and hasn't come back. I want the blame lifted from me so I can go back to my regular life."
— Bromeliad to Magnificent about Kinkajou's disappearance, The Hidden Kingdom

Bromeliad is an adult female RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. She currently resides in the Rainforest Kingdom, where she serves as a venom trainer for RainWing dragonets and a guard under Queen Glory.

Description

Bromeliad typically has dark burgundy scales and scarlet flickers in her ruff.[1]

Personality

Bromeliad is often irritable and grumpy,[2] unlike typical RainWings. She tends to take her assigned students into a hidden or discreet part of the rainforest, so no one can hear her yelling at them whenever she gets frustrated.[3] Bromeliad seems to be selfish, as she was more focused on getting her assignment back than returning Kinkajou to the village.[4]

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

Bromeliad reported that Kinkajou went missing after losing her during a practice session of venom targeting. She complained to Magnificent that it was not her fault that the RainWing dragonet had run off "to spite me," and asked for her job back. Magnificent allowed Bromeliad to be cleared of her charges and continue her assignment. Later, Bromeliad claimed that Kinkajou was spreading lies about being a NightWing prisoner on their island. She was shown to be extremely harsh, grumpy, and intolerant towards Kinkajou's knack for being talkative, disliking her, and thinking she was very annoying. During the RainWing Royal Challenge, Glory briefly considered Bromeliad as part of her team before dismissing the thought, believing she was not exactly a "team player."


The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Bromeliad was on guard duty with Obsidian when the Jade Winglet visited the rainforest. She scolded Kinkajou for running away from school, and later returned to the RainWing village to report to Queen Glory of their appearance. She seemed to be as moody as ever.

Bromeliad was mentioned by Kinkajou when she was mumbling in her sleep, and when she woke up, she told Turtle that she dreamed about Mastermind and Bromeliad, who were two of her least favorite dragons.

Relationships

Bromeliad was one of Kinkajou's teachers in the rainforest.[5] Bromeliad is constantly annoyed with Kinkajou, describing her as a "terrible student" and "a pain in the tail."[6] She claimed that Kinkajou ran off to spite her even though she was gone for weeks.[6][7] She said that Kinkajou was "no one's favorite dragon"[5] and told Glory that the dragonet would either fail school or run off.[8]
