'''Liana''' is a female [[RainWings|RainWing]] who first appeared in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]''. She seems to keep her scales dark blue with dapples of gold{{Ref|THK|20}}. She is one of the first two RainWings, the other being [[Prince Jambu|Jambu]], that [[Queen Glory|Glory]] encountered after [[Clay]], [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]], [[Webs]], and [[Princess Sunny|Sunny]] were tranquilized with RainWing sleeping darts. She seemed rather kind, but was also shown to be quite irritated when being asked questions about Glory's lost home, and notes that Glory is not as brightly colored as the rest of them. Liana was in the group that led Glory and [[Starflight]] to the RainWing village. She was also one of the dragons alongside Glory on the mission to free the captured RainWings in ''[[The Dark Secret]]''. She has fewer appearances later in the book.

"Oh, that monster. [...] Your face! That was so worth it. I'm just kidding, little black dragon. I don't know anything about any dead MudWings, but I do know we don't have any monsters here."

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

After the dragonets of destiny were taken to the RainWing village, Liana informed Glory what the tranquilizer darts were and explained what the concept of suntime was. She was visibly irritated when Glory reacted calmly to not knowing about those things. 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.

The Dark Secret

Liana was part of Glory's plan to invade the NightWing Island with their tranquilizers. Liana and Grandeur used the NightWing spears to free the captured RainWings. Liana was then seen completing her task along with Grandeur. When they were finished, they returned to the rainforest before the volcano erupted.
