Biography[]
Pre-Series[]
Zinc was born in the Sky Kingdom, a descendant of the original line of RainWing royalty when thousands of years before the Scorching, the SkyWings and RainWings split as separate tribes. However, when Zinc was old enough, she lived with the RainWings for a while before they became lazy and illiterate. She befriended Queen Grandeur's mother, and the ten-year-old Princess Grandeur when Zinc was eighty. Grandeur's mother gave Zinc the original scrolls of Queen Inferno and all the scrolls documenting the history of the RainWings for safe keeping. Zinc returned to the Sky Kingdom where she would found the Mountain Clan and have her son, Citrine (Congela).
A Destiny Found[]
Zinc met Glow and Corona as a result of Glow being the SkyWing of destiny and Zinc's family deeming her trustworthy. Once the family sat inside Zinc's chamber, Zinc began to tell Glow and Corona the tale of Queen Forestfire, the ancient SkyWings' queen, and Queen Inferno and King Flare, the queen of the newly founded RainWings and the king of the persisting SkyWings. Once she completed her tale, she entrusted Glow with the original scrolls documenting the events, which included the original memoirs of Queen Inferno herself.
Vermilion handed Zinc's scrolls to One-Eye for safe keeping to keep them out of Queen Scarlet's talons. When One-Eye was thrown in prison, he assured Glow that the scrolls were safe and in Rojo's possession.
After the White Capes, dragonets of destiny, One-Eye, and Kestrel escaped from the Sky Kingdom, Vermilion returned Zinc's scrolls to Combustion and Ore, placing them back in Glow's possession.
