Pineapple

"That's how I felt about NightWings when they first came to the rainforest. They'd done all these terrible things [...] I thought they were too different from us and they'd only cause trouble. I didn't see how we could even start forgiving them. [...] They're more like us than I expected. They want to live somewhere safe and take care of their families."

— to Luna, about the NightWing Exodus, The Flames of Hope

Pineapple is an adult male RainWing who was introduced in The Dangerous Gift. He was part of the stealth team to Pantala and was briefly under the control of the othermind. He currently resides in the RainWing village, and is in a relationship with Jambu.

Description

Pineapple is describe as a serious-looking RainWing. He changes colors often. While he was flying to Pantala, he had iridescent gold and rose scales with cyan all over. He is bigger and heavier than Luna.

Personality

Pineapple acts cheerful and even-keeled. He also has normal RainWing tendencies, as he kept falling asleep on his flight to Pantala. He wanted to help fight against the othermind, as he was willing to be the RainWing representative. He apparently has no enemies. He likes to be useful. He is not very suspicious as he accepted a breath of evil-spiked drink from the HiveWing guards without question. Similar to other RainWings, he felt guilty about using his venom, even against a dragon like Wasp, and stood there shocked for a while after using it as a weapon. He does not seem to talk about it when he misses others, shown when he did not mention Jambu until they viewed his memory.

Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Dangerous Gift
Pineapple was chosen by Glory to represent the RainWings on the journey to Pantala.

The Flames of Hope

Pineapple was first seen searching for marine life underwater with Sky and Wren on the beach near Jerboa III's hut. He was close to falling asleep several times during the flight to Pantala. When the stealth team was attacked by a group of mind-controlled HiveWings, Pineapple, along with Tsunami and Qibli, fought against the HiveWings. Pineapple was knocked out by the HiveWings during the fight and was brought back to the Hives, unconscious. He appeared when Freedom, Luna, and Dusky were watching the events taking place at Wasp Hive. Cottonmouth interrogated Tsunami, Pineapple, and Qibli about Sundew's whereabouts. Qibli was able to distract Cottonmouth enough to give time for Pineapple to shoot Queen Wasp with his venom. While Wasp was incapacitated, Pineapple, Qibli and Tsunami were able to escape the Hive and then Cottonmouth revealed that Pineapple had accepted a drink containing the breath of evil. He later appeared in the mindspace after Cottonmouth possessed his real world body. Luna convinced Pineapple to allow Freedom to see his memories, in return for Luna and Dusky being freed from the vines in the real world. In his vision, Pineapple was shown napping with his partner, Jambu. Glory suddenly appeared to wake Jambu up as sun time has ended already. Glory came to ask whether or not Jambu would come with her to Sanctuary as dragons from Pantala have arrived there, but he refused. Pineapple offered to go in his place, which Jambu happily agreed to as he went back to sleep in his hammock. The vision ended here. Moon appeared in the mindspace and found Pineapple there. She kept checking in on Pineapple regularly, and Pineapple told her about giving Freedom one memory from each dragon. After Cricket was injected by Carabid, Pineapple left to go take care of her and left Luna to deal with the othermind. After Luna defeated the othermind, she met up with Pineapple, Cricket, Qibli and Sundew outside of the abyss. In the epilogue, Luna mentioned that Pineapple and Jambu promised to visit Pantala soon.

Quotes

"It was like ... that feeling when you're holding up a huge bunch of bananas while someone saws them free, and then suddenly the last fiber is cut, but you weren't paying attention, so the whole thing plummets out of your talons and it's like, ack! oops! but wow, you feel so much lighter. Sad about the bananas, though. Hmmm. Maybe that wasn't the best analogy."

"There was an odd in-between time when I felt like myself but still sort of ... tethered, maybe? And then I felt her and the plant go, and I was all me again."
