Agave

"Good thinking, Torch. Alright, you prince-loving traitor, time to come with us."

— Agave to Prickle, pretending to mistake her for Palm, Darkness of Dragons

Agave is an adult female SandWing who was mentioned in Deserter, and appeared in the prologue Darkness of Dragons as the soldier who recognized Palm when she was hiding at Prickle's hut. She was most likely a friend of Blaze, though it is unknown on which side she fought on in the War of SandWing Succession.

Appearance

Agave was described as muscular, having big shoulders and long claws.

Personality

She was kind and loyal, as she did not apprehend Palm, her friend. Agave is also quite snarky and tries to sound intimidating.

She also seemed to enjoy playing tricks and pranks as a dragonet.

Biography

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Darkness of Dragons

In the prologue, Agave, along with Torch, found Palm in Prickle's hut. Due to Prickle wearing Palm's earrings, Agave had an excuse to arrest Prickle instead of Palm. Agave had recognized Palm due to the scar on her wing but didn't say anything. Palm and Agave were friends in the wingery, as Palm had comforted her, given her snacks, and played "Dragons and Vipers" with her, which may have been why Agave pretended to not know the difference between Palm and Prickle.
