Agave
Agave is an adult female SandWing who was first introduced in Darkness of Dragons. She resided in the SandWing stronghold before the events of the War of SandWing Succession, but her current location and occupation are unknown.
Appearance
Agave is full grown, with large shoulders and long claws.[1]
Personality
Agave seems to be quite loyal, as she defended Palm from imprisonment despite direct orders from Queen Oasis. She also appeared to be clever, as she was easily able to trick Torch into arresting Prickle.[1]
Biography
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
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.
Winglets
Blaze stated that Agave had stolen her crown and hidden it in the sandstorm, according to Camel who, in turn, heard the rumor from Parch, her best friend.
Relationships
Agave and Prickle are old friends. When Agave was frightened in the SandWing wingery, Palm shared her snacks and convinced Agave to play dragons and vipers until she became calm.[1]

Trivia

- Parch was Agave's best friend when she was a dragonet.[2]
