Exquisite

"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

Exquisite is an adult female RainWing and was one of the six RainWing queens sharing the throne before Glory won the RainWing Royal Challenge. She currently resides in the RainWing Village, located within the Rainforest Kingdom.

Description

Exquisite's scales normally matches a sloth-like pattern due to her obsession with sloths. Exquisite's scales also have a soft shimmer, like the wind brushing against silver fur.

She is large but sleek and has strong shoulders, big wings, and a long tail.

Personality

Like most RainWings, Exquisite is not dutiful as a queen should be, not wanting to do any work. She does not seem to be exceptionally lazy, as she can 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 and is very protective of them.

She loves sloths and owns more than anyone else in the kingdom, and would force her subjects to make them hammocks and such when she was queen. Exquisite is 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 dragons could do. She also cheated in the RainWing Royal Challenge by having her sloths drop vines on Jambu during the treetop race.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Hidden Kingdom

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 was 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, is not mad at them, and she's just not very happy today.

She lost her position as queen when Grandeur forfeited the venom spitting match, allowing Glory to become the new queen of the RainWings.

Winter Turning

Exquisite was a guard of the NightWing Village in Winter Turning. She rushed in and flared her wings when Winter tried to eat a sloth named Toe-Fur, saying that those "nasty black dragons" had already gotten one of her sloths.
