Splendor

"We're going to be exploded and covered in lava and melted and dead!"

— Splendor on the NightWing Island, The Dark Secret

Template:Charbox Ex-Queen Splendor is a female RainWing and was one of the six queens that took turns ruling the tribe, until the NightWings kidnapped her (along with sixteen other RainWings), shortly before the events of The Hidden Kingdom. The NightWings thought that if they captured the RainWing queen, the RainWings would willingly subject themselves to NightWing rule. She was the only queen to be captured, as the NightWings did not realize that there were more queens taking turns ruling and that the RainWings didn't even realize that Splendor was gone.

Biography

The Hidden Kingdom

According to Mangrove, Splendor was the first of the RainWings to be kidnapped by NightWings. Kinkajou later mentioned her as one of the captured RainWings, when she was in the NightWing fortress. The other RainWings had brushed off her disappearance, and the other queens just skipped her turn.

The Dark Secret

It was revealed the NightWings assumed that if they captured the RainWings' queen, the tribe would obey them, seeing their queen at their mercy. However, this plan failed, as there wasn't much of a RainWing monarchy, and most RainWings barely even noticed her absence except for Mangrove. Splendor accidentally sprayed Vengeance with venom when he captured her, scarring him and making him hate RainWings. In The Dark Secret, Starflight and Fatespeaker saw her as one of the captives in the dungeon. Deathbringer had been locked in a cage beside Splendor. Shortly before the volcano erupts, Starflight and Glory freed her. She was described as terrified, her scales an acid green with fear, and wails that there was lava coming through the walls and that they were all going to die. She ignored Starflight and Glory's attempts to calm her. Despite her shock, she survived and made it back to the rainforest.

Trivia

• Splendor means magnificent and splendid in appearance. 
• Splendor is the only RainWing that spat venom at the NightWing that captured her, Vengeance, albeit on accident. 
• It is unknown why the NightWings captured Splendor when they thought Dazzling was the RainWing queen, as they recorded it in A NightWing Guide to the Dragons of Pyrrhia, having no idea there was more than one queen at the time. Either they did not care, or they thought Splendor took the throne.
