Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
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.
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.
