Glory thought that Liana realized she was stolen from the hatcheries, which led to Starflight figuring out that the lack of sunshine in the caves the dragonets of destiny had grown up in had made Glory harsher and grumpier and her scales duller than a typical RainWing's. Liana and the rest of the RainWing group then led the dragonets back to the RainWing village, where suntime began and Liana left. Later, she returned to escort the dragonets to Queen Magnificent's treehouse.

During the RainWing Royal Challenge, Glory considered having Liana on her team for the RainWing Royal Challenge, but dismissed the idea and picked Tamarin for her team instead.
