Glory

Glory is an adult female RainWing and the main protagonist of The Hidden Kingdom. Formerly a dragonet of destiny, she is partially responsible for the end of the War of SandWing Succession and the founding of Jade Mountain Academy. After the NightWing Exodus, Glory became queen of both the NightWings and RainWings. She currently resides in the Rainforest Kingdom and is in a relationship with Deathbringer.

Appearance
Glory has green eyes and brilliant blue-green scales that are dull in comparison to other RainWings'. She has soft wings, feathery ears, a long body, tail, and neck, and a long, delicate snout. Unlike most RainWings, Glory mostly tries to keep her scales from showing emotions, and is therefore usually seen with dark emerald green scales dappled with light and flares of orange around her ears and along the underside of her wings, since she usually likes them to match the leaves around her, and the rainforest she lives in.

Personality
Glory is often decipated as snarky, snide, sarcastic (being called the "Queen of Scarcasm" by Tsunami and the rest of the Dragonets), bold aloof, judgmental, brave, and impatient with anyone lazy or stupid (specifically her RainWing subjects). When Moonwatcher suggested that Glory return to the RainWing village for her own safety, she snorted as though she was sure that she could handle anything. She has a steely ferocity about her, and although Deathbringer described her as reckless, Glory's punishment for Icicle was fair, and Glacier stated that it was unusual for a queen to choose a path towards peace and cooperation instead of one towards vengeance. She has been shown to care about her friends and has become calmer and more composed since becoming a queen. It also has made her respect the peace of the rainforest, as shown when Darkstalker came with the NightWing s. However, she refused to shield Webs, one of her former guardians, showing that she still hates the Talons of Peace. Clay has described her as beautiful, smart, and unbothered by what other say about her. Upon meeting Winter, she beckoned him to walk beside her as an equal and greeted him as visiting royalty. According to Qibli, she is well-known for being a far, kind and good queen. Glory is shown to be brave and selfless, insisting on being one of the first RainWings to enter the NightWing island during the rescue of the RainWing prisoners in The Dark Secret. She used to think that she could do everything herself, as she stated in Winter Turning. While not often physically affectionate, she is a brave and reliable friend, often pushing aside her own needs and well-being for that of others. Glory is an intelligent and critical thinker, usually considering a problem before taking action, although she can behave rashly and illogically under pressure. She was also mentioned to have an easier time remembering scroll facts than Starflight and is fond of reading and learning. Glory is conservative with her emotions; it was mentioned by Moonwatcher in Moon Rising that a sort of "mental shield" would close around her thoughts whenever she became uncomfortable. Contrary to most of her subjects, Glory dislikes when other dragons "read her feelings" by her scale color, and a result, she often tries to avoid changing colors if possible. As the series progresses, she seems to become calmer and more patient with everyone, most likely due to experience she has gained since becoming the queen of two tribes, the RainWings and NightWings.

Abilities
Like other RainWings, Glory could change colors and camouflage around her surroundings. She could also shoot venom from fangs from her mouth.
