- "Toe-Fur is nobody's lunch! Those nasty black dragons have already eaten one of my sloths."
- — Exquisite to Winter after he tried to eat one of her sloths, Winter Turning
Template:Charbox Ex-Queen Exquisite is a female RainWing and was one of the former RainWing queens who were sharing the throne before Glory won the RainWing Royal Challenge.
Appearance
When she was competing for the RainWing throne, Exquisite's scales matched the same silvery color as her sloths, with a soft shimmer "like the wind brushing against silver fur".[1]
She is large but sleek, and has strong shoulders, big wings,[2] and a longer tail than Jambu.[3] In the graphic novels, her horns curve in a weird way.
Personality
Exquisite, like most of the other RainWings, isn't dutiful as a queen should be, not wanting to do any work. She doesn't seem to be exceptionally lazy, as she is able to keep up with Jambu in the treetop-gliding race, and it would be impossible for her to be lazy due to the excessive amount of pet sloths she has. She is said to have a minimum of twenty sloths.
She apparently loves sloths and owns more than anyone else in the kingdom, and forces her subjects to make them hammocks and such when she is queen. Exquisite completely "obsessed with sloths" and, according to Kinkajou, would probably choose them over her subjects as she also believes that they are very smart and could do what humans or in this case dragons could do.
Biography
The Dragonet Prophecy
Exquisite competed against Jambu in the treetop-gliding competition in Glory's challenge for the RainWing throne. She won by a narrow margin because several sloths threw a vine around Jambu's neck.
They were not confirmed to be Exquisite's sloths, although it is highly likely. Enraged, Glory accused her of using the sloths to cheat, but Magnificent claims that they are "not nearly smart enough for that." Exquisite defended them with, "They most certainly are! But they would never do such a thing." Exquisite then told the sloths that "Auntie Maggie", much to Magnificent's annoyance, isn't mad at them, and she's just not very happy today.
She lost her position as queen when Queen Grandeur forfeited the venom spitting match.
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
Exquisite was a guard of the NightWing Village in Winter Turning. She rushed in and flared her wings when Prince Winter tried to eat a sloth named Toe-Fur, saying that those "nasty black dragons" had already gotten one of her sloths.
