}}Orchid is a female [[RainWings|RainWing]], and was one of the seventeen captured RainWings mentioned in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]'', as well as ''[[The Dark Secret]]''. She is [[Mangrove|Mangrove's]] mate and his partner in fruit gathering. Mangrove thinks of her as flawless, describing her as "perfection in every scale." He searched tirelessly for her when she went missing, and asked [[Ex-Queen Magnificent|Queen Magnificent]] for help every day, but no one really cared that she and the other captured RainWings were missing, except [[Queen Glory|Glory]] and Mangrove himself. The Queen told Glory that since she asked a good question, she can go search for Orchid. Like some other RainWings, the [[NightWings]] kidnapped Orchid and ran tests on her venom in order to make venom-resistant helmets and armor so that they could raid the [[Rainforest Kingdom]] in order to obtain a more feasible home. Orchid was chained to the wall when [[Mastermind]] was showing [[Starflight]] and [[Fatespeaker]] around his lab. Starflight whispered to her that Mangrove hadn't given up on her, and had never stopped searching for her. Orchid's scales turned pink with joy when he said this, and said she would hold on for him. Later, she was saved and saw Mangrove, who was ecstatic to see her again.

Recalling his experience in the rainforest, he told her that [[Mangrove]] was looking for her and never gave up. Her scales turned rosy pink with happiness, making Mastermind curious, and he said he had never seen any of the RainWings that color before. Later, during the attack on the Night Kingdom, Orchid was freed along with the rest of the surviving RainWings. She was reunited happily with Mangrove, even though she thought he would forget about her. Mangrove tried to endure the rumbling of the volcano to stay with Orchid, although they both returned to the Rainforest Kingdom.

*An orchid is a plant with complex flowers that are typically showy or bizarrely shaped, and they often use their looks to confuse pollinators into pollinating them. Orchids occur worldwide, especially in tropical forests, and are valuable hothouse plants. The family Orchidaceae is one of the two largest families of flowering plants, encompassing between 6 and 11% of all seed plant species.

The Hidden Kingdom

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.

The Dark Secret

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.
