Heliconia
Template:Charbox(Not to be confused with Heliconian the Flamesilk.)
Heliconia is one of the RainWings in Queen Glory's secret and invisible guard, which Deathbringer put in place to quietly follow the queen and protect her from potential assassination attempts. The guard really isn't that secret, because Glory knows about them, although other assassins won't. In Winter Turning, Glory accidentally mistook her for Banana. Heliconia politely corrects her and states that it was a good guess.
Appearance
Heliconia has pink scales[1] in her appearance, which may suggest an inherently cheery personality.
Biography
Glory mistook Heliconia for Banana while Heliconia was following her. She was then assigned to alerting the scout captains of the Queen to meet Glory at the pavilion as quickly as possible, though Heliconia doesn't want to leave Queen Glory unguarded. It can be noted that she is very protective and polite towards Queen Glory. Glory tells her that she will not be unguarded; she has multiple guards, which leads her to bicker with Deathbringer.
Later, Heliconia wanted to refuse Winter entry to the hatchery, saying he looked too 'hostile' because Winter, at that time, wanted to establish IceWing superiority on a small scale of 0-2.
