- "Our names don't always end up suiting us."
- — Handsome to Glory, The Hidden Kingdom
Handsome is an elderly male RainWing[1] first introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. When Glory challenged Magnificent for the crown, he was the one who suggested and hosted the peaceful royal RainWing competition to make Glory the queen of the RainWings. He was also the judge for the challenge and the one who declared the winner of every contest.
Appearance
Handsome is described as a shrunken old dragon with a silvery tinge to his ruff.[1]
Personality
In The Hidden Kingdom, Handsome is shown to be considerate, a rule follower, and somewhat sarcastic, making some self-deprecating jokes.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Handsome was present in Queen Magnificent's pavilion when Glory challenged the queen for the throne. He was the one who suggested the idea of a contest instead of a battle to avoid the death of any dragon, as this was tradition during the ancient RainWing times. He organized and ran the tournament between the current RainWing queens and Glory's team, consisting of Mangrove, Kinkajou, Jambu, and Tamarin.
He brought up his past, in which Grandeur was challenged by many RainWings and had beat them easily numerous times.
He stated that he was displeased by the queens' deceitful actions in the tournament, although he did nothing to stop them since it wasn't technically in the rules. Handsome said this when he realized that Magnificent had won the camouflaging contest by scaring Glory's sloth, Silver, and Handsome stated that Magnificent didn't win the contest 'by spirit'. When Glory was announced the new queen of the RainWings, Handsome was among the dragons who congratulated her.
Quotes
"There is an old tradition, [...] If anyone wants to hear about it. [...] Don't look at me like that, Maggie. It's the fair thing to do, and it gives you as much chance, if not more, of keeping the throne."- About the RainWing contest for the throne.
"[My name's] Handsome. I am not surprised... To Queen Glory in The Hidden kingdom
"We don't imprison, we banish. What could be worse than being thrown out of the Kingdom?" - To Glory about the RainWing ways.
Trivia
- Handsome appears to be one of the two elderly RainWings who recalls a time when they weren't lazy.
- Like Grandeur, he was taught survival and fighting skills (i.e. using RainWing venom against other dragons).
- He is able to impersonate bird calls, as, during the RainWing competition, he made a toucan call.
