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 relaxed more than normal, 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.
Tamarin competed in the flower hunt for Glory during the challenge for the Rainwing throne and won easily 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.
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.
She was injured when Sora sets off the dragonflame cactus. They dunked her in one of the underground river, then brought her to the medical wing to recover from her burns.
