'''Ex-Queen Grandeur''' is an elderly female [[RainWings|RainWing]] who appeared as a minor character in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (Book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]''. Before being challenged for the throne by [[Queen Glory]], Grandeur reigned as one of the six RainWing [[Dragon Queens|queens]], but was the only queen who was a descendant of the original RainWing royal family.  
'''Grandeur''' is an elderly female [[RainWing]] who was introduced in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]''. She served as [[queen]] of the RainWings before reluctantly allowing RainWing volunteers to rotate months on the [[Dragon royalty|throne]] with her. One of the six RainWing queens who ruled before [[Glory]] became queen, she was the only one who was a descendant of the original RainWing royal family. She currently resides in the [[Rainforest Kingdom]] as one of Glory's most trusted [[dragons]] and advisor.


== Appearance ==
== Description ==
During the Royal RainWing Challenge, Grandeur was described as being a pale lavender color. Her ruff was an indignant pale orange and her scales glittered like tiny dewdrops{{Ref|THK|251}}. She had eyes that looked half-asleep, and she wore a sour expression. Glory mentioned that she was the only one of the RainWing queens that gave off a queenly aura.
Grandeur keeps her scales a pale lavender color, seemingly glittering with tiny dewdrops, and her ruff a pale orange.{{Ref|THK|251}} She is described as a stately older dragon with half-asleep eyes and a sour expression.{{Ref|THK|251}} Her bones creak like ancient forests{{Ref|THK|282}} and the silver cast of her scales make her look as if she is reflecting moonlight.{{Ref|THK|283}}

Unlike the rest of her tribe, Grandeur is cold,{{Ref|THK|278}}{{Ref|THK|262}} sour, stately,{{Ref|THK|251}}{{Ref|THK|275}} regal,{{Ref|THK|268}} and is one of the last members of the RainWing royal family.{{Ref|THK|288}} According to Glory, she is the only RainWing who looks, moves, and sounds like a real queen,{{Ref|THK|283}} and has a royal elegance about her.{{Ref|TDS|107}} She is unsatisfied with how lazy her tribe has gotten and misses the time when camouflage was needed for survival{{Ref|THK|275}} and royal blood mattered.{{Ref|THK|288}} Back when the RainWings shared the throne, she only saw petitioners once a week and said no to pretty much anything during her turn.{{Ref|THK|251}} The throne was originally hers and she merely tolerated all the other queens on it, thinking it would eventually turn them into better dragons, though she now believes she was mistaken.{{Ref|THK|289}} Grandeur's venom skills are impressive{{Ref|THK|284}} and she is willing to use her venom for the sake of her tribe, unlike most RainWings.{{Ref|TDS|231}}
During the [[The RainWing Queen Challenge|contest]] to determine the queen, Grandeur participated in the venom accuracy test. She was one of the only two RainWing queens who made no known attempt to cheat during her event (the other being [[Fruit Bat]]), as she was sure she would win, and was truthful in the claim.


Towards the end of the venom targeting, a sloth tumbled out of the trees and in front of the target board. [[Kinkajou]] dove forward to push it out of the way, so instead of hitting the sloth Ex-Queen Grandeur's venom accidentally hit the young [[Dragonets|dragonet's]] wing. [[Glory]], desperate, quickly did a venom test on a leaf with the queen to see if she could save [[Kinkajou]]. When the venom matched, Glory used her venom to counteract Ex-Queen Grandeur's. After realizing that Glory was a descendant from the line of ancient RainWing queens, Grandeur forfeited, allowing Kinkajou to be awarded victory in the venom spitting event and for Glory to become queen. She believed in the royal family, which the RainWings had abolished many years ago because, as Grandeur claims, her daughters were "useless". She also respected [[Glory]] enough to believe that she would do well as a queen, influencing her choice to give the throne to the dragonet.

In addition, she later told the other queens that [[Glory]] would indeed be a better queen than any of them, not caring what their opinions were. She told them she had only "allowed them to be queen in hopes that the experience may transform them to be worthy of the throne", which they were not.

Grandeur was one of the few RainWings that actually acted like the other dragon tribes (not giggly and foolish) under stress. She was close to Glory (who trusts her with much responsibility as her personal advisor to the throne) and was a big help in activities of importance, such as battle planning. Grandeur and [[Liana]] were usually working together in Glory's command.

"Nobody but me. [...] We used to keep track of the royal eggs, but my daughters were useless, so we merged our eggs with the tribe's, hoping to find successors who were queens in spirit, if not blood. There were a few who might have been great if they'd ever tried for the throne, but the truth is, I've never found a dragonet who both wanted to be queen and deserved to be. Until now."
— Grandeur to Glory, The Hidden Kingdom

Grandeur is an elderly female RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. She served as queen of the RainWings before reluctantly allowing RainWing volunteers to rotate months on the throne with her. One of the six RainWing queens who ruled before Glory became queen, she was the only one who was a descendant of the original RainWing royal family. She currently resides in the Rainforest Kingdom as one of Glory's most trusted dragons and advisor.

Description

Grandeur keeps her scales a pale lavender color, seemingly glittering with tiny dewdrops, and her ruff a pale orange.[1] She is described as a stately older dragon with half-asleep eyes and a sour expression.[1] Her bones creak like ancient forests[2] and the silver cast of her scales make her look as if she is reflecting moonlight.[3]

Personality

Unlike the rest of her tribe, Grandeur is cold,[4][5] sour, stately,[1][6] regal,[7] and is one of the last members of the RainWing royal family.[8] According to Glory, she is the only RainWing who looks, moves, and sounds like a real queen,[3] and has a royal elegance about her.[9] She is unsatisfied with how lazy her tribe has gotten and misses the time when camouflage was needed for survival[6] and royal blood mattered.[8] Back when the RainWings shared the throne, she only saw petitioners once a week and said no to pretty much anything during her turn.[1] The throne was originally hers and she merely tolerated all the other queens on it, thinking it would eventually turn them into better dragons, though she now believes she was mistaken.[10] Grandeur's venom skills are impressive[11] and she is willing to use her venom for the sake of her tribe, unlike most RainWings.[12]

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

During the contest to determine the queen, Grandeur participated in the venom accuracy test. She was one of the only two RainWing queens who made no known attempt to cheat during her event (the other being Fruit Bat), as she was sure she would win, and was truthful in the claim.

Towards the end of the venom targeting, a sloth fell in front of the target, and Kinkajou dove into the line of venom to push it out of the way, but got hit by the venom. Glory and Grandeur tested their venom and found a match to neutralize Kinkajou's injury. This also reveals that Glory is a member of the disbanded RainWing royal family.

Grandeur forfeited, allowing Kinkajou to win, and Glory to become queen. She believed in the royal family, which the RainWings had abandoned, as her daughters were "useless." She told the other queens that Glory would indeed be a better queen than any of them, saying that she had only "allowed them to be queen in hopes that the experience may transform them to be worthy of the throne," which they had not. She happily presented Glory as their tribe's new queen.
The Dark Secret

When Starflight dreamvisited Kinkajou, Grandeur was watching her.

She assisted in activities such as battle planning. Grandeur and Liana worked together in the execution of Glory's rescue plan. She helped to free the captured RainWings, using a spear during the attack on the NightWings and helped them back to the rainforest.
The Brightest Night

Grandeur assisted Glory in organizing the NightWings when they sought refuge in the rainforest. Later, when Sunny was preparing to meet her family, she thought about how all her friends have some family, Glory having Jambu and Grandeur.

She and Mangrove were later left in charge of the rainforest while Glory attended the peace summit at Burn's stronghold.
