Childhood:

Rhubarb was born in the Rain'Forest, in a similar timeframe as Granduers hatching. WIP.

Backstory:

Rhubarb went into teaching soon after becoming 7 years old. He taught acid practice, and spent much of his day avoiding being accidently sprayed with acid. He was very patient with his class, and depsite some needing quite a few years to grow proficient in the skill, everyone passed his class quite comfortably. When he was 38, an accident happened in class and he was sprayed with a young dragon'ets acid on his wing. Fortunately, their sibling was also in the class and could quickly nullify the effects, but the damage had already been done. Where the acid hit, small scars and tears in his wing occured. While this didn't weaken his flying by much, it did scare him quite a bit, and he soon retired as an acid training teacher.

He instead started working with the eggs, making sure that they were turned from time to time and that all were accounted for. One afternoon, when he was doing his final egg checks, he discovered that one was missing. The next day he alerted the Queen at the time about it, but was pushed away as it wasn't seen as possible or important. From that moment Rhubarb began sleeping in the hatchery, making sure that no other eggs were stolden.

As he got older, he soon started becoming a sort of babysitter for the tribe, especially the dragon'ets who couldn't go to school yet, or were to naughty for school. He loved looking after the youngins, and felt bad for the few who were there as their teachers had given up on them. As he babysat he grew close to some of the dragon'ets, especially Blueberry and Tune . The two were the kindest young dragons that he knew, and he made extreme care to make sure that they grew up well. He was very sad to see Tune leave the rain'forest to Jade Mountain Academy, but was proud of them regardless

He still looks after the dragon'ets, but nowadays he spends much of his time resting, simply being too old to run around like he used to do. Blueberry and many of the other dragon'ets that he raised have built him his own hammock and leaf platform in the sun, with the perfect view of the nursery and the surrounding village. The job of the nursery is now quite a popular one, especially since Glory has started mandating better treatment for the dragon'ets, so Rhubarb can spend his days simply watching and telling stories, occasionally consoling a dragon'et if they are upset about something. He is one of the most popular dragons in the village, especially considering how many of the younger generation was raised by him
