"You bet, no problem, Your Majesty, Except uh...so, counting. Um. Don't get me wrong, I'm really good at it. Up to, like... twenty? That's a pretty big number, right? There probably aren't more NightWings here than that."
— Jambu to Queen Glory about counting the NightWings.

Template:Charbox Prince Jambu is a male RainWing and one of the only two confirmed relatives of Queen Glory, the other being Ex-Queen Grandeur. He was confirmed to be Queen Glory's half brother in The Hidden Kingdom making him, in a normal hierarchy, a prince. He is similar to all the other generation of RainWings, content with everything and with little to no knowledge of almost anything except for tree-gliding, dart-shooting, and being optimistic. He is the instructor of tree gliding for dragonets of the tribe and competed against Exquisite for Glory's team when she challenged Magnificent to be the new queen of the RainWings, which he lost due to her cheating.

Appearance

Jambu's scales are often kept at a bright magenta or raspberry pink, implying that, personality-wise, he is very optimistic and cheerful. When he is disappointed or depressed, which is quite uncommon, blue-gray will appear on his scales in the shape of clouds and he'll make a "comically sad" face. He carries a pouch of sleeping darts around his neck. Glory once wondered if he had only two moods. He was also described with narrow shoulders, and probably has well muscled limbs, wings and tail, due to his forte in tree gliding, as shown in the tree race with Exquisite .

Personality

Jambu is usually cheerful and optimistic. He is horrified of the thought of no sunlight (as is normal with most RainWings), and very much enjoys calling his half-sister, Glory , "Your Majesty". He finds having her as a sister "cool". He can seem to be quite annoying at times, but he is very cheery. He cares much about Glory and appears to know some history about RainWings since he was able to tell the story of Chameleon . Jambu isn't the smartest dragon, as stated by Queen Glory, probably because it is stated in The Dark Secret that he could manage to mistake over two hundred NightWings for twenty.

Biography

The Hidden Kingdom

Jambu, along with Liana and a few other RainWings, caught the Dragonets of Destiny entering the Rainforest Kingdom via sleeping darts. He brought them back to the RainWing village and spent time with Glory , to educate her about the RainWing culture. During this time, they compared venom and discovered, much to Jambu's delight, that they were relatives, and it was likely that Jambu was Glory's older half-brother.

When Mangrove ran away from the Rain Kingdom through the NightWing portal to the Kingdom of Sand, in hopes of finding Orchid, his mate, Jambu accompanied Glory and the other dragonets on their search, which brought them to the borders of the Ice Kingdom and Blaze's Fortress. Glory and Jambu disguised themselves as IceWings named Storm and Penguin (respectively) to gain entrance. Inside, Jambu spotted Mangrove, camouflaged in a corner. Jambu and Glory managed to convince Blaze to come outside so the dragonets could meet her. On their way out of the door, they saved two scavengers that were about to get eaten by Blaze and her followers.

Later, when Glory challenged the RainWing queens for the throne, Jambu competed in the tree top race against Exquisite . He ended up losing when some of Exquisite's sloths tossed vines in his way and nearly choked him. Despite this, Glory won the contest overall, due to Grandeur forfeiting against Kinkajou.

The Dark Secret

Jambu became one of Glory's most reliable RainWings after her coronation. He participated in Glory's mission to rescue the imprisoned RainWings in the Night Kingdom and was one of the first dragons to go through the portal. Starflight described him as either, "brave, or not knowing what he was getting himself into." He was also described as being one of the best shots with a blowgun in this book.

The Brightest Night

When Fierceteeth, Strongwings, and Preyhunter used the Obsidian Mirror to spy on Glory, she was shown instructing Jambu and Grandeur to count all the NightWings in the rainforest. Jambu was uneasy over this and was revealed to be terrible at counting, as he was only able to count to twenty. Later, Glory sent Jambu and Mangrove back to the Ice Kingdom to convince Blaze to attend the peace summit in Burn's stronghold. The mission failed, however, since Queen Glacier refused to allow Blaze to go because Glacier doesn't want to lose all of the promised land if Blaze loses.

Winter Turning

He briefly appeared, smarting off to his half-sister, Queen Glory, while he was watching over the unconscious Princess Icicle. He told Glory the story of the RainWing that couldn't change his scale color; this later turns out to be Chameleon.
