Like most of the RainWing queens, Fruit Bat is vain, and probably lazy. She is obsessed with flowers, which she adorns herself with all the time. For the last thirty years, she has been trying to make herself smell like flowers, causing disastrous and very malodorous results. She was described as always smelling like something decaying, probably because her experiments failed. In fact, the only reason she volunteered to be a queen was to have permission to enter the royal gardens for her experiment. She always ends up destroying it, making it Tamarin and several other gardeners' job to pick up the pieces left over. This caused Tamarin to dislike Fruit Bat.

Description

Personality

Fruit Bat is lazy and vain. She is obsessed with flowers and their smell, as she has spent most of her life attempting to make floral perfumes with them and wears a wreath of them around her neck.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

Fruit Bat competed in the flower hunt against Tamarin during Glory's challenge for the RainWing throne. She frantically ran around in search of the flower, a rare red cinnamon orchid, though to no avail. When Tamarin finally started moving after trying to locate the flower through scent, Fruit Bat chose to follow Tamarin instead of finding it herself.

Even after this trick, the blind dragonet found the flower first. Glory thought that Fruit Bat's plan was probably to watch where Tamarin headed, so she could beat her to the flower and warned Tamarin. It turned out that Tamarin's nose could beat Fruit Bat's eyes, and hence, Tamarin won the flower hunt. Magnificent and Fruit Bat herself both howled in rage and embarrassment because they had lost one round of the contest to a blind dragonet.

Fruit Bat and the other RainWing queens lost their throne when Grandeur forfeited the venom spitting contest against Kinkajou, after accidentally hitting her competitor with her venom and learning that Glory was a relative and therefore descended from the original line of RainWing queens.

Trivia

  • Prior to the challenge, Kinkajou described her to Glory, noting that most of the other RainWing queens had "shiny" names that would likely make them want to be queen, with Fruit Bat being the only exception.[3]
