- "I will try... for Orchid."
- — Mangrove, The Hidden Kingdom
Template:Charbox Mangrove is an adult male RainWing who is featured in The Hidden Kingdom. He and his partner, Orchid, are fruit gatherers for the tribe.
Appearance
When not displaying a particular emotion, his scales usually appear to be a shade of dark purple[1].
Personality
Unlike the average RainWing, Mangrove is shown to be rather alert, irritable, and perceptive - he noticed the disappearance of members of his tribe, whereas most of the other RainWings were not especially worried about it. It was stated that he was grumpier than most other RainWings, mainly because he never received as much suntime as the other RainWings. This started after Orchid disappeared, as he spent most of his time worrying about her. When he first met Glory, he was reluctant to accept her help, running way by himself into the tunnel to the Kingdom of Sand.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
After Orchid went missing, Mangrove was heartbroken and quite determined to find her. He stood in line at Queen Magnificent's palace every day, waiting for his turn to tell the queen about the disappearances, though she always ignored him, suggesting that she was taking a long nap. Because of this, he often missed large portions of his suntime and was grouchier than normal, similar to Chameleon and Glory.
He reluctantly allows Glory as an audience with his discussion with Magnificent, where he expressed his problem yet again. When it became apparent to everyone that Queen Magnificent didn't intend to do anything about it, he volunteered to help Glory in looking for the "rainforest monster" as she made a suggestion for Bromeliad and Mangrove to have their audience together. The search leads to the discovery of a tunnel made by Stonemover that lead to the borders of the Kingdom of Sand and the hidden NightWing Kingdom. Thinking Orchid might be in the latter, Mangrove took off into the tunnel while the dragonets weren't looking. Glory and Jambu then disguised themselves as IceWings and found him hiding in Blaze's Fortress near the IceWing palace, camouflaged against the sand in Blaze's room. The siblings managed to rescue him, but not before running into Deathbringer. As Blaze arrived, Glory sent Jambu and Mangrove back to the safety of the rainforest.
During the competition in which Glory tried to become queen, Glory picked Mangrove as part of her team. He participated in the fruit gathering contest and collected seventeen different fruits (including one that appeared to be newly discovered), beating Queen Dazzling, who originally had nineteen (through cheating by preparing beforehand), but ate three of them on the way back.
Starflight and Glory led an attack on the NightWings through the tunnel. There, they rescued Splendor, Orchid, the rest of the missing RainWings, and Deathbringer. Mangrove and Orchid reunited by locking tails, glowing pink with happiness. Mangrove introduced Orchid to Glory, who was immensely grateful for their new queen.
Orchid mentioned that she was feeling a rumbling in the earth, and Mangrove replied that it was like "all the happiness in us is trying to burst out." After that, he went off with Orchid back to the rainforest.
Mangrove and Jambu disguised themselves as IceWings to send a message to Blaze, asking her to attend the meeting at the Burn's Stronghold. He and Jambu later tell Glory that Blaze is not coming, and Mangrove states that it was because they know that Burn and Blister could both easily kill Blaze.
When Queen Glory visited Burn's Stronghold to ultimately end the war, Mangrove and Grandeur were left in charge of the Rainforest Kingdom.
Quotes
- "Complaining about something! I'll say! Something we should all be complaining about! My Orchid isn't the only one who's missing, you know!"
- ― about his complaint to Magnificent (The Hidden Kingdom)
- "My partner, [...] Orchid. She's been missing for three weeks. I've asked the queen every day since then to send out a search party."
- ― to Glory, about why he is seeing Magnificent (The Hidden Kingdom)
- "There could be totally different explanations, [...] I'm sure something terrible happened to Orchid."
- ― to Glory and Bromeliad (The Hidden Kingdom)
- "Not as far as I know. I noticed she was gone only when her turn came back around and she wasn't there. But I can guess when she went missing because her sloth found someone else to live with right around then."
- ― about Orchid (The Hidden Kingdom)
- "All right. You're right. I guess I've been neglecting my sun time since Orchid went missing, [...] I used to be as cheerful as everyone else, but I'm worried about her. [...] Trust me, Orchid was perfection in every scale. No one could possibly want to hurt her. [...] I don't really want to talk about this anymore right now."
- ― to Glory (The Hidden Kingdom)
