Bromeliad

"What are you doing here? You were supposed to stay at that school the queen sent you to! I told her you were a terrible student and would definitely fail or run off, but would she listen? Mysteriously not! And now here you are, so I suppose I was right."

— Bromeliad after finding Kinkajou and most of the Jade Winglet in the rainforest, Winter Turning

Bromeliad is an adult female RainWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. She currently lives in the Rainforest Kingdom as a venom trainer for RainWing dragonets.

Appearance

Bromeliad typically has dark burgundy scales and scarlet flickers in her ruff.

Personality

Bromeliad is often angry and short-tempered, unlike the typical RainWings. She tends to take her assigned students into a hidden or discreet part of the Rainforest, so no one would be able to hear her yelling at them whenever she gets frustrated. Bromeliad seems to dislike teaching or interacting with small dragonets, especially Kinkajou. Kinkajou describes her as "a slow old baboon," which suggests that Bromeliad was not a very good teacher.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

Bromeliad reported Kinkajou was missing after losing her during a practice session of venom targeting. She complained to Magnificent that it wasn't her fault that the RainWing dragonet had run off, and asked for her job back. Magnificent allowed Bromeliad to be cleared of her charges. Later, Bromeliad claimed that Kinkajou was telling lies about being a NightWing prisoner. She was shown to be very harsh, grumpy, and not very tolerant towards Kinkajou's knack for being talkative, disliking her and thinking she was extremely annoying. During the RainWing Royal Challenge, Glory briefly considered Bromeliad as part of her team before dismissing the thought.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Winter Turning

Bromeliad appeared as a guard when the Jade Winglet visited the rainforest. She scolded Kinkajou for running off from school, and later returned to the RainWing village to report to Queen Glory of their appearance, and seemed to be as moody as ever.

Talons of Power

Bromeliad was mentioned by Kinkajou when Kinkajou was mumbling in her sleep.

Trivia

• Bromeliad doesn't like Kinkajou, though it is unknown if it's her dislike of Kinkajou specifically or a general hatred of dragonets.
• Despite being regularly exposed to sunlight, Bromeliad is still rather bad-tempered, which is unusual for a RainWing.
