'''Ex-Queen Magnificent''' is a female [[RainWings|RainWing]] and was one of the six former RainWing [[Dragon Queens|queens]] who took turns ruling before and during the events of ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]''. [[Kinkajou]] stated that Magnificent's main problem is being forgetful, coupled with being lazy. She makes promises and then never sees them through. This is shown when [[Mangrove]] repeatedly asked her to help find [[Orchid]] and Magnificent kept forgetting about the requests. She is shown to be lazy and neglectful about the missing RainWings, as she never noticed or cared how many were actually missing. After she found out, she still refused to make any attempt to save them, believing they would come back when they were ready to. She made it clear that she hardly cares about her tribe, and would prefer not to do anything at all involving any work or thought.


== Appearance ==
|current  =  
Magnificent is as large as [[Queen Coral]]{{Ref|THK|62}}, with green eyes{{Ref|THK|63}} that have been described as friendly and a little sleepy-looking. She wears dragonfly-wing flower necklaces and changes her scale colors in order to look very elegant, but during the competition for the RainWing throne, she had purple scales individually tinted gold{{Ref|THK|250}} and purple wings{{Ref|THK|259}} as well as a single flower garland on around her head that was described as looking like a lacy white crown.
|former    = [[Queen]] of the [[RainWings]]


==Personality==
|Relation1 = Pet
Queen Magnificent is a forgetful and incredibly lazy dragon. She didn't pay much attention or react to the fact that some of the members of her tribe were being kidnapped and tortured, and when told about it, she treated it nonchalantly. She was shown to rush through listening to the requests of her subjects and always opted for the quickest solution, and whoever carried out the solution would definitely not be her, as she said once, worried that she had to do anything when [[Queen Glory|Glory]] discussed the captured subjects with her. She is also very vain, adorning herself in flowers and changing her scale colors in order to look elegant.
|RName1    = [[Shaggy]]


Nevertheless, Magnificent could be ruthless and is willing to play dirty when she wants to. She went to great lengths and did what could be considered as cheating in the competition against Glory to keep her title (though it was not technically against the rules), and was very defensive of her title as queen, even as she neglects the duties that come with the name. Magnificent is shown to be apathetic, not caring about the missing RainWings and not doing anything to help Glory searching for the missing RainWings. Her bitter side also shows when [[Ex-Queen Exquisite|Queen Exquisite]] tells her sloths that "Auntie Maggie is stressed", and she immediately becomes irritated and snaps at her fellow queen, saying that she doesn't want to be called "Auntie Maggie". Magnificent starts to act rude for the whole competition during the RainWing throne.

'''Magnificent''' is an adult female [[RainWing]] who was introduced in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]''. She was one of the six former RainWing [[queens]] before [[Glory]] ascended the [[Dragon royalty|throne]] and currently resides in the [[Rainforest Kingdom]].


==Biography==
== Description ==
===''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]''===
Magnificent has friendly, sleepy-looking green eyes.{{Ref|THK|63}} She is as large as [[Coral]] and is adorned with several garlands of white dragonfly-wing flowers.{{Ref|THK|62}} She typically keeps her scales magenta and her wings purple.{{Ref|THK|259}}
When Glory approached Magnificent with Mangrove about the missing RainWings, Magnificent didn't show any concern for the missing RainWings, and insisted that they were most likely just sleeping somewhere before assigning Glory the task of looking into their whereabouts, likely attempting to shut her up. This led to Glory finding the secret home of the [[NightWings]] as well as the captive RainWings.


Glory came before Magnificent once more and told her to rescue the captive members of her tribe, but the queen refused, not caring and saying that they all wanted a rest. Enraged, Glory challenged her for the RainWing throne. Surprised but intrigued, Magnificent accepted the challenge, although she clearly felt contempt for the younger dragon. However, according to RainWing tradition, queen-ship would be decided by a tribe skill-based activity instead of a battle to the death. According to [[Handsome]], that was the way they had done it for years. For her challenges, Magnificent chose to compete in five contests in teams. For her team, Magnificent gathered the other RainWing queens, as Glory meant to take the throne from all of them. However, she thought Glory would choose her friends, the [[Dragonets of Destiny]] as that would make them fail since these contests revolve around RainWing abilities. Glory, assuming this would happen, chose Kinkajou, [[Tamarin]], [[Mangrove]], and [[Prince Jambu|Jambu]].
== Personality ==
Magnificent reflects negative RainWing stereotypes, as she is careless, selfish,{{Ref|THK|222}} and lazy.{{Ref|THK|64}}{{Ref|THK|264}} [[Kinkajou]] described her as being forgetful{{Ref|THK|252}} and she had little concern for the fact that several of her subjects were being kidnapped and tortured during her reign,{{Ref|THK|216}} making no efforts to rescue them even when she was frequently reminded of their disappearances by [[Mangrove]].{{Ref|THK|64}} When Glory told her she had found the missing RainWings, she was relieved, not because her subjects were safe, but that Mangrove would stop mentioning their disappearances.{{Ref|THK|67}} She was notorious for being one of the most forgetful RainWing queens during her reign.


Magnificent and Glory competed together in the camouflage contest. Glory found Magnificent disguised as a bunch of bananas in a fruit stand by following the gaze of the crowd. When Glory hid, Magnificent scared Glory's sloth, [[Silver]], into making a beeline for Glory's hiding place, causing Magnificent to win the round. She set up a stash of fruit to help Dazzling win the fruit gathering contest (although Dazzling lost anyway, due to her eating some of the fruits) and had Exquisite's sloths choke Jambu in the treetop race. Despite her cheating, she lost when [[Ex-Queen Grandeur|Queen Grandeur]] forfeited after learning Glory was the true heir to the RainWing throne when she used her venom to counteract Grandeur's.
Although lazy and incompetent as a ruler, Magnificent took great care to ensure her success in the [[Dragon royalty#RainWing Royal Challenge|RainWing Royal Challenge]]. As an ambitious queen, she had planned several setups before the challenge, and even when she was accused of cheating with clear evidence, she refused to admit what she had done. She was very defensive of her title, although she neglected her duties. She is easily irritated, and snapped at her fellow queen, [[Exquisite]], for referring to her as "Aunt Maggie."{{Ref|THK|264}}

"Magnificent's main problem is that she's forgetful. She can never remember what she's agreed to do or what's going on in the tribe or who asked her for what, and she doesn't really care."
— Kinkajou to Glory about Magnificent, The Hidden Kingdom

Magnificent is an adult female RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. She was one of the six former RainWing queens before Glory ascended the throne and currently resides in the Rainforest Kingdom.

Description

Magnificent has friendly, sleepy-looking green eyes.[1] She is as large as Coral and is adorned with several garlands of white dragonfly-wing flowers.[2] She typically keeps her scales magenta and her wings purple.[3]

Personality

Magnificent reflects negative RainWing stereotypes, as she is careless, selfish,[4] and lazy.[5][6] Kinkajou described her as being forgetful[7] and she had little concern for the fact that several of her subjects were being kidnapped and tortured during her reign,[8] making no efforts to rescue them even when she was frequently reminded of their disappearances by Mangrove.[5] When Glory told her she had found the missing RainWings, she was relieved, not because her subjects were safe, but that Mangrove would stop mentioning their disappearances.[9] She was notorious for being one of the most forgetful RainWing queens during her reign.

Although lazy and incompetent as a ruler, Magnificent took great care to ensure her success in the RainWing Royal Challenge. As an ambitious queen, she had planned several setups before the challenge, and even when she was accused of cheating with clear evidence, she refused to admit what she had done. She was very defensive of her title, although she neglected her duties. She is easily irritated, and snapped at her fellow queen, Exquisite, for referring to her as "Aunt Maggie."[6]

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

When Glory approached Magnificent with Mangrove about the missing RainWings, Magnificent did not show any concern for the missing RainWings and insisted that they were most likely just sleeping somewhere before assigning Glory the task of looking into their whereabouts. This led to Glory finding the secret home of the NightWings as well as the captive RainWings.

Glory came before Magnificent once more and told her to rescue the captive members of her tribe, but the queen refused, not caring and saying that they all wanted a rest. Enraged, Glory challenged her for the RainWing throne. Surprised but intrigued, Magnificent accepted the challenge, although she clearly felt contempt for the younger dragon.

However, according to RainWing tradition, queen-ship would be decided by a tribe skill-based activity instead of a battle to the death. According to Handsome, that was the way they had done it for years. For her challenges, Magnificent chose to compete in five contests in teams. For her team, Magnificent gathered the other RainWing queens, as Glory meant to take the throne from all of them. However, she thought Glory would choose her friends, the dragonets of destiny as that would make them fail since these contests revolve around RainWing abilities. Glory, assuming this would happen, chose Kinkajou, Tamarin, Mangrove, and Jambu.

Magnificent and Glory competed together in the camouflage contest. Glory found Magnificent disguised as a bunch of bananas in a fruit stand by following the gaze of the crowd of dragons. When Glory hid, Magnificent scared Glory's sloth, Silver, into making a beeline for Glory's hiding place, causing Magnificent to win the round. She set up a stash of fruit to help Dazzling win the fruit gathering contest (although Dazzling lost anyway, due to her eating some of the fruits) and had Exquisite's sloths throttle Jambu in the treetop race. Despite her cheating, she lost when Grandeur forfeited after learning Glory was the true heir to the RainWing throne.
The Dark Secret
Magnificent was mentioned when Starflight realized Glory was right and that Magnificent was wrong about the RainWings being in awful danger.
