}}'''Palm''' was an adult female [[SandWings|SandWing]]. Her name was mentioned in ''[[The Brightest Night]]'' as [[Smolder|Smolder's]] lover, yet he said that [[Queen Oasis]] did not allow them to be partners for the fear of more potential challengers for the throne if they had female [[Dragonets|dragonet]] [[Dragon Eggs|eggs]]. Smolder never saw Palm again after Oasis "dealt" with her. [[Six-Claws]] described her to be a sweet, clever, and nervous dragon, who adored Smolder, was terrified of the queen, and who would most likely never raise [[dragonets]] to kill the [[Dragon Queens|queen]].

==Appearance==
|Relation1 = Sister
Palm had patterns of light brown scales freckled across her pale yellow scales, much like her sister. Compared to her sister, [[Prickle]], she was rounder and softer from working in the palace kitchen and having access to more food. She had sand-colored wings and a small scar on her left one from when she fell off the wingery roof when she was young. She also owned earrings made of fire opal that Smolder gave to her, but she gave them to Prickle in return for being allowed to stay in her hut for one night while fleeing from the guards.

*A leaf of a palm tree awarded as a prize is viewed as a symbol of victory or triumph. This suits Palm well, as in the end, Queen Oasis did not imprison Palm.
*When the guards took Prickle away, she screams that she will set the moons on fire and drop them on Palm's head. Ironically, that is how Palm died: killed by a 'moon on fire' (comet) hitting her in the head.
