- "Why can't he fall in love? Why does his whole life have to be wasted just so his mother won't feel threatened? Other royal families aren't like this."
- — Palm to Prickle about Smolder, Darkness of Dragons
Palm was an adult female SandWing who was introduced in Darkness of Dragons. She fled the SandWing stronghold after attempting to elope with Prince Smolder, and after several years of living as a fugitive within the Kingdom of Sand, she was killed by a falling piece of skyfire.[1] Prior to her escape, she worked in the stronghold kitchen.[2]
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]

Relationships
When choosing between her sister or her dragonet, she chose her dragonet at the cost of betraying Prickle.[2] Palm would have kept Onyx shielded from the world forever if she could have, but Onyx does not seem to share her mother's affection.[4]
Palm and her twin sister had a rocky relationship. Even before Prickle's unfair imprisonment, the two sisters did not seem to get along, and Prickle only agreed to help Palm to gain the fire opal earrings that Smolder had given her.[2] Palm felt guilty for betraying Prickle and knew that Prickle would never forgive her, but knew the queen would let her out as soon as she realized that it was not Palm.[2] In her current state, Prickle despises Palm for her imprisonment,[4] and Palm had several nightmares about Prickle's imprisonment before her death.[5]
Palm fell in love with Smolder after he visited the palace kitchens and kept returning to see her. The two started sneaking out at night and talking about the future, even going so far as to attempt elopement despite Oasis' wrath. Even after fleeing from the SandWing stronghold, Smolder was present within her thoughts.[2] She adored him and would have happily ran away with him if she could.[3] Palm teased Smolder about his voice, saying everything he said sounded like a joke.

Quotes
- "But I'm not going to die. Not today."
- ― thoughts (Darkness of Dragons, prologue)
- "But it isn't fair! Why can't he fall in love? Why does his whole life have to be wasted just so his mother won't feel threatened? Other royal families aren't like this. Besides, it could be male, and then no one would even care about it."
- ― to Prickle, about Onyx and Smolder (Darkness of Dragons, prologue)
- "If it is a girl — it feels like a girl — then I shall give her the name you chose and hide her away somewhere secret and safe. She'll get the chance to be ordinary that you never had. By the moons of Pyrrhia, I swear she will never have anything to do with thrones or queens or battles or crowns, for as long as we both shall live."
- ― thoughts towards Smolder about Onyx (Darkness of Dragons, prologue)
Trivia
- When Agave and Torch arrested Prickle, she screamed that she would set the moons on fire and drop them on Palm's head.[2] Ironically, Palm was later killed by a falling piece of skyfire.[1]
