Mangrove later told [[Glory]], who volunteered to look for the missing RainWings. When she too was abducted she found the other RainWings being experimented on in the [[Night Kingdom]].

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

Before Glory and the dragonets had arrived, Orchid and Mangrove were gathering fruit from deep inside the rainforest when Orchid was suddenly kidnapped by the NightWings. Mangrove continually tried to convince Queen Magnificent to send out a search party, but the queen suggested that some other dragon could investigate. When Glory asked around if anyone knew what had happened, one dragon said: "Maybe she's taking a really long nap somewhere." Glory volunteered to search for Orchid, agreeing to look for the other lost members of the tribe as well. After Glory let herself be abducted, she found some of the missing RainWings being experimented on in the Night Kingdom, and deduced that Orchid and the other missing RainWings were there as well.

Orchid was chained to the wall, unconscious, when Mastermind showed Starflight and Fatespeaker around his laboratory. Mastermind then explained that he was trying to see how long the average RainWing could use their venom before running out, but Orchid had fainted before he could get any "useful information". Starflight and Fatespeaker fetched her some water, shocked by the NightWings' treatment of her. Once she regained consciousness, Starflight asked what her name was. Surprised, she replied that no NightWing had ever asked her that before, and then answered "Orchid." He told her that Mangrove was looking for her and to not lose hope. Her scales turned rosy pink with happiness upon hearing his words, making Mastermind curious, as he had never seen a RainWing display happiness on the NightWing island. Later, during the attack on the island, Orchid was freed along with the rest of the imprisoned RainWings. She was happily reunited with Mangrove, and they both returned to the Rainforest Kingdom.


The Jade Mountain Prophecy

When members of the Jade Winglet visited the Rainforest Kingdom, Kinkajou mistook Bromeliad for Orchid, much to her dismay.

Relationships

Orchid respects Queen Glory, as she helped rescue her from the NightWing island and reunite her with her partner Mangrove.

Mangrove is Orchid's partner, and two are very close. Mangrove worried about Orchid so much when she went missing that he neglected his sun time. She was very happy when they reunited, but previously expressed worry that he might not care about her disappearance, choose to move on with a new partner, or not do anything about it; but Mangrove assured her he would never move on. They both returned to the rainforest together.

Orchid was initially shocked when Starflight had asked for her name.[4] Though their conversation was brief, the RainWing seemed to be happy when Starflight encouraged her to have faith in Mangrove.[3]
