Tamarin

Tamarin is a small blind RainWing gardener. She has several scars from when she was learning how to fly blind, including a large, twisted cut on her underbelly. It is noted by Glory that she has oddly-coloured light blue eyes. Tamarin is featured in The Hidden Kingdom. She is also currently a student at the Jade Mountain Academy, attending the Gold Winglet. She competed against Ex-Queen Fruit Bat in the flower hunt at Glory's challenge for the throne of the RainWings, and completed the challenge successfully. She has a friend called Kinkajou

Biography

Tamarin works in the royal gardens, where she takes care of the flowers ruined year after year by Fruit Bat, much to her annoyance. She is completely blind, although her other senses are sharpened because of it. She has memorized every section of the Rainforest Kingdom and can sense anything, like flowers. If she was told to change her scales to red, for instance, she would be unable to do that. But if she relaxes, then her scales could automatically change to the color around her. Tamarin's undersides are scarred from learning how to navigate and fly blindly as a young dragonet.

The Hidden Kingdom

Tamarin was mentioned by Kinkajou when she was talking to Glory when they escaped from the NightWing island. Later Glory chose Tamarin to join her team when she was fighting for the RainWing crown, against the beliefs of the audience. Tamarin competed in the flower hunt for Glory during the challenge for the Rainwing throne and won over Fruit Bat, making very good use of her excellent sense of smell, even when Glory doubted her skills. Tamarin nearly lost, as Fruit Bat was following her to the hidden flower.

The Brightest Night

Although she does not appear in the book, she is mentioned to be helping Starflight adjust to flying with guidance and avoiding obstacles, for he is now blind from lava that hit him in The Dark Secret.

In the epilogue, Glory suggests that Tamarin should be a student at the Jade Mountain school because she needed a real teacher, not the scraps of time Glory had for her.

Moon Rising

In Moon Rising she was injured when Sora sets off the dragonflame cactus. She saved her life by tipping something over right before the explosion happened. They dunked her in one of the underground lakes at Pike's suggestion, then brought her to the medical wing to recover from her burns. Later, shortly after Sora tries to kill Icicle in the prey center, Sora goes to visit Tamarin, who is unconscious and wrapped in bandages from wings to tail. Moonwatcher, Umber, and Qibli arrive to see her crying beside Tamarin's bedside.

'Bold text']] Tamarin is seen as smart and kind. Even though she's blind, she has proved that even she can do things normal dragons can achieve, and even some normal dragons can't. She is a gardener for the Royal Garden but was later on a student for Jade Mountain Academy. She was also seen passionate about learning as she was in the history cave before history lessons actually started, which led to her being injured when she got hit by the Dragonflame Cactus.
