'''Mandrake''' is a young male [[LeafWings|LeafWing]] ([[PoisonWings|PoisonWing]]) who was introduced in ''[[The Poison Jungle (Book)|The Poison Jungle]].'' Although significantly weaker than [[Sundew]]'s ability, Mandrake practices [[Hybrids and Special Dragons|Leafspeak]]. He is son to [[Wolfsbane]], younger brother to [[Nettle]], and ex-fiancé to Sundew. When both Mandrake and Sundew were born, they were assigned to mate in order to combine their Leafspeak powers, presumably having a dragonet with even stronger Leafspeak. He currently resides in the [[Poison Jungle]].

Mandrake appears to be a nervous but understanding LeafWing, and he even agrees with the fact that he's not like the other [[LeafWings]] when [[Cricket]] asks him if all LeafWings are loud and 'shouty'. He is shifty, quiet, and unconfident, which causes him to be looked down on by his family. He seems to be slightly indifferent about being Sundew's fiancé, but also a bit proud due to the fact that he told [[Blue]], Cricket, [[Swordtail]], and [[Bumblebee]] that when first introducing himself. Mandrake is especially nervous when catching prey or facing battle, as it was shown that even during life-or-death situations like facing a panther, he needs to stop and breath to calm down.  He is also very understanding, when Sundew tells him she wasn't going to marry him, Mandrake says he knows and hopes she's happy with Willow.

Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Poison Jungle

Mandrake was trying to kill a panther while his father, Wolfsbane, and his sister, Nettle, watched. He was extremely nervous and kept panicking before he could seize his opportunity. He also took a lot of time to do it, causing Nettle to complain about how slow he was. When Sundew trapped the panther for him with her leafspeak in order to save him, he at first believed he did it and was confused by his success. When Sundew appeared, he seemed happy to see her, though he was visibly disappointed that his sister's suspicions that Sundew killed the panther were confirmed. Mandrake offered to stay with Sundew and her friends while his father and sister alerted Commander Belladonna of their presence. While he was with them, he informed the group that he was Sundew's fiancé.

Later on, Belladonna forcibly assigned Mandrake and Nettle to go with Sundew, Willow, Cricket, and Bumblebee on their expedition to the Eye of the jungle to find a LeafWing named Hawthorn.

As soon as Mandrake and Sundew began speeding up the growth of the heart of salvation, Sundew told him she was not going to marry him. Mandrake said that he always knew that and that he hoped she would marry Willow. Later on, Sundew attempted to convince him to organize the LeafWings for evacuation. At first, he was unsure of his ability, but Sundew persuaded him to take responsibility. He went back to the PoisonWings village to help with the evacuation.

Field Guides

A Guide to the Dragon World

Mandrake was interviewed about his favorite book in the LeafWing chapter of the guide where he shared that his favorite book was The Exceptionally Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Insects for the Discerning Entomologist.

Relationships

Nettle

Mandrake is her younger brother, he does not get along with his sister. He obeys Nettle's orders and seems a bit scared of her at times. As Mandrake's friendly, non-violent personality clashes with his sister's aggressive, bossy personality, they are not very often cooperative, but can work well together on a mission.

Sundew

Mandrake was formerly Sundew's fiancé. He seemed proud of it, but then it became more and more apparent as the book progressed that Sundew did not want to marry Mandrake and wanted to marry Willow instead. Sundew eventually revealed this to Mandrake, but Mandrake was not surprised and said that he had always known that. However, Sundew says that Mandrake is one of the only dragons that she actually likes. Mandrake hoped Sundew will be happy with Willow and they both will survive to the end.

Wolfsbane

Mandrake's father, Wolfsbane, is concerned with strengthening Mandrake's leafspeak powers. However, unlike Nettle, Wolfsbane is shown to be calmer about the subject, as he believes that Mandrake will indeed improve in the power of his leafspeak, showing that he does care about his son.
