Blue

Blue is a male SilkWing dragonet and the main protagonist of The Lost Continent. He lived in Cicada Hive along with his half-sister Luna and his two mothers before becoming a fugitive along with Cricket and Swordtail. He was formerly under the control of the othermind and currently resides in the LeafSilk Kingdom. He is a flamesilk and is currently in a relationship with Cricket.

Description[]

Blue has gemlike azure, bright morpho butterfly blue, and lavender-purple scales, with purple scales on his back, quiet lavender scales on his arms, azure talons, and a purple snout. His body glints with purple and aquamarine like buried jewels, and his wings shimmer purple and bright cerulean blue, like sapphires and violets tumbled together. Before his wings fully developed, his wingbuds were small and tightly curled, and an iridescent violet color, a brighter, more purple shade than the rest of his scales. He has glowing embers under his wrist scales due to being a flamesilk. He is fairly small, but larger than Cricket, and he and his biological parents' initials are carved into his right palm, forming a triangle. The larger B stands to his name, and a smaller B and A stand for Burnet and Admiral. Cricket considers him to be the most beautiful dragon she had ever met. Fritillary described him as being a midget and scrawny.

Personality[]

In the beginning of The Lost Continent, Blue was described as being a dragon who "liked things the way they were." Blue believed that if someone offered him peace and stability in exchange for independence, he would accept without question. He was content with his life, but did not exactly like everything about life as a SilkWing, and would remind himself about the bright side of the HiveWings' rule, and he feared change, often feeling waves of panic when he thought about going into Metamorphosis. He also never felt any desire to go beyond his birthplace, Cicada Hive. He believed that the HiveWings protected the SilkWings from the LeafWings, despite Luna's remarks.

After saying something that mildly upset Luna, Blue instantly felt guilty and apologized to her. He worries about hurting other dragons' feelings. He dislikes arguing with others, and is sensible, indecisive, quiet, and obedient. He also often feels anxious, and believes that he is not dangerous. When he was attacked by a young HiveWing under the control of Queen Wasp, his first instinct was to break free without hurting the dragonet, and he could not begin to imagine stabbing another dragon on purpose. He believes that he is a good dragon, and he is tentative and loyal. He also believes that stealing is wrong, and he cares about all dragons, even those he has never spoken to. He dislikes lying, breaking promises, dragons being angry at him, and being yelled at. Blue used to really believe in the rules, and never wanted to break rules or be in trouble. During the events of The Lost Continent, he realized that rules should not be followed if there are more important things.

Blue often imagines himself as other dragons, and he constantly wonders about what they desire, what they worry about and hope for, and why some dragons seem unhappy. He thinks that most of his guesses are probably wrong, but other dragons' lives draw him like a moth to a flame. He has faith in other dragons, and it would be difficult for him to care about himself more than everybody else. When forced by Wasp's mind-control to stand guard over his fellow SilkWings, he would often cry. Snowfall described him as "the sappiest little butterfly of a dragon" she had ever encountered. Snowfall also thinks that he is "the most opposite of herself she'd ever been." Luna describes him as the sweetest, most understanding dragon in the world who still fights back whenever he needs. Luna also described him as not the most reliable truster-of-dragons. Blue wants to be liked by other dragons, similar to Qibli, but instead of using jokes and humor, he lets other dragons order him around.

Admiral[]

Admiral is Blue's father, although Blue was raised by Burnet and Silverspot and did not meet his father as a young dragonet. In The Lost Continent, when Blue was captured by the HiveWings and sent to the flamesilk factory, he discovered that Admiral was one of the SilkWings working there. After speaking with his father, Blue realized that Admiral's peaceful, obedient way of trying to change things — sending fruitless letters to Queen Wasp to improve the flamesilks' living and working conditions — was not effective at all, having said most of his letters were dismissed. He tried to reason with Admiral by explaining that the only way to gain freedom was by directly disobeying the queen, but Admiral strongly disagreed. When Blue attempted to escape the factory with Luna, Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail, Admiral tried to notify the factory's HiveWing guards and betray his son. However, Danaid was willing to help the young dragons by causing a loud distraction that consisted of all of the flamesilks loudly arguing, which consequently drowned out Admiral's warning.

Bumblebee[]

Bumblebee has positive relationships with Blue, and when Bumblebee hatched, Blue was very excited to raise her. He is almost like an adoptive father towards Bumblebee.

Burnet[]

Burnet is Blue's biological mother. From what is given in The Lost Continent, they seem to have a strong and affectionate bonding relationship. Blue mentioned Burnet a few times throughout The Hive Queen, expressing how he missed her even though she never warned her dragonets about the possibility that they may have been flamesilks like their father.

Cricket[]

When Blue initially met Cricket, one of the first things he noticed was how she was willing to talk to him, a SilkWing, as though they could be friends, and she looked at him as if he were a real dragon, and not a wingless curiosity or an annoyance to be stepped over. She took a large risk for him by using dangerous flamesilk to burn off his wrist cuff, and Blue vowed to do everything he could to keep her out of trouble for helping him. Blue lets her smile chase away his nerves, and felt a small glow of happiness when he thought of he and Cricket leaving Cicada Hive together. When Blue asked why she was so willing to help him, she replied that she found him interesting, and would love to know more about him, and knew how it felt to have to hide when everyone else was under the control of Queen Wasp. Cricket makes him feel safe, and Blue would go with her anywhere she asked. He wants her to be safe, and could not imagine his life without her in it. Cricket stated that she would want Blue to be her best friend even if she knew every dragon in Pantala, and Blue realized quickly that he was in love with her. His heart jumps at the sight of her, he feels beams of affection towards her, and he would never hide anything from Cricket.

Luna[]

Luna is Blue's half-sister, and the two of them are very close. Blue often teases and jokes around with Luna, and he believes that arguing with her will get him nowhere. Blue did not want Luna going into her Metamorphosis scared or anxious. When Luna finished her Metamorphosis, Blue cried tears of joy because he had missed her so much. Luna is affectionate towards him, and has always been able to read him since they were very young. He is one of her three best friends in the world.

Silverspot[]

Silverspot is Blue's stepmother (and Luna's biological mother). Not much is known about their relationship, but Silverspot helped Burnet raise Blue and his sister. Blue also thinks that she, Luna, Burnet, and himself make up a good family and that Silverspot and Burnet were partnered "for the best."

Sundew[]

Like Cricket, Blue believes that even though Sundew is fierce on the outside, she is kind on the inside. Blue often surprises Sundew, most notably with his defiance of SilkWing stereotypes and standing up to Queen Wasp for the greater good of Pantala. Sundew understands that Blue tries to understand most everyone, so she suppresses her emotions she sees as wimpy (like fear) to appear cold and relentless. They are friends but disagree on the way to do things because while Blue wants to take a systematic and pacifist approach to life, Sundew, on the other hand, is a more "shoot first, ask questions later" kind of dragon. Sundew stole a piece of Blue's flamesilk for the Burning of Bloodworm Hive, making him trust her a bit less. But despite that, he still has great trust in her.

Swordtail[]

Swordtail is Luna's partner and one of Blue's closest friends. He is very rebellious (like Luna), a contrast to Blue's submissive and pacifistic personality. Blue sometimes worries that his friend will get Luna into trouble, though he knows that Swordtail would do anything to protect her from danger. Blue tries to reassure Swordtail that if Luna were dead, they would feel it. He calls Swordtail his best and bravest friend.
