'''Exquisite''' is a female [[RainWings|RainWing]] and was one of the former RainWing [[Dragon Queens|queens]] who were sharing the throne before [[Glory]] won the [[The RainWing Royal Challenge|RainWing Royal Challenge]]. She is completely "obsessed with sloths" and, according to [[Kinkajou]], would probably choose sloths over her subjects.

Exquisite, like most of the other RainWings, isn't dutiful as a queen should be, not wanting to do any work. She apparently loves sloths and owns more than anyone else in the kingdom, and forces her subjects to make them hammocks and such when she is queen. She doesn't seem to be exceptionally lazy, due to her at least being able to keep up with Jambu in the treetop-gliding race, and it would be impossible for her to be lazy due to the excessive amount of pet sloths she has. She is said to have a minimum twenty sloths.

"Toe-Fur is nobody's lunch! [...] Those nasty black dragons have already eaten one of my sloths. I'm not letting it happen again!"
— Exquisite to Winter after he tried to eat one of her sloths, Winter Turning

Exquisite is an adult female RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. She was one of the six RainWing queens who shared the throne before Glory won the RainWing Royal Challenge. She currently resides in the RainWing village.

Description

Exquisite is large but sleek with strong shoulders, big wings,[1] and a long tail.[2] Her scales are normally a sloth-like pattern due to her obsession with sloths. Exquisite's scales also have a soft shimmer, like the wind brushing against silver fur.[3]

Personality

Like most RainWing royalty, Exquisite is not dutiful as a queen should be, not wanting to do any work. She does not seem to be exceptionally lazy, as she could keep up with Jambu in the treetop-gliding race[4] and would take care of her sloths with her own claws. She has about twenty-three sloths[3] and is very protective of them.[5] She loves sloths and owns more than anyone else in the kingdom, and would force her subjects to make them hammocks and such when she was queen. Exquisite is completely "obsessed with sloths" and, according to Kinkajou, would probably choose them over her subjects.[3] She believes that they are very smart and could do what dragons could do.[6]

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

Exquisite competed against Jambu in the treetop-gliding competition in Glory's challenge for the RainWing throne. She won by a narrow margin because several sloths threw a vine around Jambu's neck.

They were not confirmed to be Exquisite's sloths, although it was highly likely. Enraged, Glory accused her of using the sloths to cheat, but Magnificent claims that they are "not nearly smart enough for that." Exquisite defended them with, "They most certainly are! But they would never do such a thing." Exquisite then told the sloths that "Auntie Maggie," much to Magnificent's annoyance, is not mad at them, and she's just not very happy today.

She lost her position as queen when Grandeur forfeited the venom spitting match, allowing Glory to become the new queen of the RainWings.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Winter Turning

Exquisite was a guard of the NightWing Village. She rushed in and flared her wings when Winter tried to eat a sloth named Toe-Fur, saying that "those nasty black dragons" had already gotten one of her sloths.
