Description

Palm had patterns of light brown freckles across her pale yellow scales. She was round and soft, with sand-colored wings and a small scar across her left wing.[2]

Personality

Before fleeing the Kingdom of Sand, Palm was described to be sweet, clever, and nervous.[3] However, she eventually became paranoid and emotionally unstable, constantly plagued by nightmares[4] about Prickle's imprisonment.[5] She was cautious of the SandWing monarchy, and wished for Onyx to never interact with it.[2]

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom
When Glory and Jambu disguised themselves as IceWings to enter Blaze's fortress, it was explained to them by Blaze that one of the tapestries was made in the memory of a romantic story of Blaze's brother, Smolder, falling in love with a dragon that her mother did not approve of, and thought that Queen Oasis might have killed her. The dragon in the tapestry was Palm, Smolder's love.
The Brightest Night
In the prologue, Queen Oasis bumped into her daughters, Blaze and Blister. Blister asked if Smolder was running off with his girlfriend again, and Oasis stated that she took care of that. Smolder later mentioned Palm and recounted a story about their love.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising
When Onyx told Moonwatcher and Ostrich about how she found the piece of skyfire, she explained how it killed Palm when it went through her head. She considered it to be beautiful and deadly, which made her love it even more. This suggested that she did not have a strong connection with Palm, perhaps caused by their constant wandering.
Darkness of Dragons
In the prologue, Palm was running away from the queen's soldiers, who were trying to take her back to the palace. Just as she was about to pass out, she found Prickle's oasis and hut. Prickle, her somewhat mean sister, grudgingly let her in, though she made Palm hand over her earrings in exchange for letting her stay the night, and they started arguing about Smolder. The guards burst in, but instead of arresting Palm, they arrested Prickle because the sisters looked alike and because Prickle was wearing her sisters' earrings. One of the guards, Agave, recognized the real Palm but did not mention it to the others because of their friendship from when they were dragonets. Palm decided to run away and travel the continent after she realized that she was with the egg.

Winglets

Deserter
Shortly before Oasis' death, Smolder was shown crying about Palm's disappearance and possible death. Six-Claws mentioned that he had known Palm due to her working under his father, Quicksand, in the kitchen before his death from a mysterious sickness.
