Rhubarb's Links
Rhubarb has looked after many young dragon'ets throughout his life. But Blueberry still sticks out to him as being one of the nicest that he has looked after. She was always such a happy and energetic dragon'et, and was always willing to help Rhubarb with the youngest dragon'ets. He feels for the young dragon, and wants nothing but the best for her future
Blueberry never had any parents, like all rain'wings. She was born in the hatchery, surrounded by dragons who didn't really care about her. She, along with many of the dragon'ets, were sent to Rhubarb to be looked after so the adults didn't have to look after them. Blueberry quickly grew a liking to the funny old rain'wing who seemed so different compared to the adults who couldn't connect with the dragon'ets. She quickly started looking up to Rhubarb for advice and guidance. Even now, Blueberry is appreciative of just how much Rhubarb looked after her throughout her dragon'ethood.
Rhubarb felt for the young dragon'et when he first arrived in the nursery. He had already made it his mission to protect all the dragon'ets in the tribe, and that included making sure that they were all taught the appropriate life skills for their future. So when Tune, and many other dragon'ets, began showing up in the nursery, Rhubarb began teaching them.
When Jade Mountain Academy opened the second year, Rhubarb pushed for Tune to be accepted to go, knowing that this would be the best opportunity he would have to grow
Tune grew under Rhubarb's wing, staying in the nursery for much of his dragon'ethood. He had trouble in school, often finding it difficult to focus and listen to the teachers, and so was sent to the nursery much of the time. Here Tune was taught by Rhubarb, who unlike the other Rain'Wing teachers, was willing to wait for him and properly help him when he needed it. It is with Rhubarb that Tune properly learnt how to tree'hop, spit acid, fly, and learn the different flora and fauna in the rainforest.
Rhubarb knew that he was in for trouble soon after Annatto hatched. She was a very free-spirited and headstrong dragon'et, and Rhubarb had to continually remind her when she was growing up that she won't get along with everyone. He encouraged her to group up with the other dragon'ets her age, but Annatto was busy dreaming of her future to care about friendships. As a result, Annatto found it difficult when she was older to truly connect with other dragons. But Rhubarb was there for her, and continually helped her through until she developed the social support system that she needed
While Annatto didn't stay at the nursery for as long as some of the other Rain'Wings had, Annatto was still raised from her hatching day by Rhubarb. She was taught by Rhubarb to stay determined and was consistently reminded by him that even if it didn't feel like it now, things would work out eventually. She cares deeply for Rhubarb and would be willing to wage war with every dragon on Pyrrhia if it kept him safe.
