- "First we tried to talk her down. And second ... we tried something else. I thought we could stop her. I thought we could save everyone. It wasn't supposed to make her powerful. I thought, if I found the plant and we used it on her ... that we'd be able to control her."
- — Hawthorn explaining to Cricket and Sundew about Wasp, The Poison Jungle
Hawthorn was an adult male LeafWing who was introduced in The Poison Jungle. He had very powerful leafspeak abilities and was banished by Queen Sequoia for failing to mind-control Queen Wasp using the breath of evil. He was impaled in the neck and killed by Willow after he and the othermind threatened to infect all of Pantala.
Description
Hawthorn was gigantic in size.[1] He had long green wings[2] and green eyes.[3]
Personality
Hawthorn was friendly and very excited to see other dragons after being alone for many years.[4] He was very chatty and even a little forceful when Nettle, Willow, Mandrake, Cricket, and Sundew told him that they were in a hurry.[5] Hawthorn was prideful and believed that his use of the breath of evil was justified, but that he had only messed up.[6] When Sundew talked about bringing Hawthorn back to the other LeafWings, he became very anxious, even though he wanted to see other dragons again. His fifty-year isolation had significantly affected his mental state, as the othermind mentioned that Hawthorn began hearing voices and imagining his carvings talking back to him with leafspeak. A lack of socialization with other dragons left him no choice but to rely on the othermind for sole companionship. The othermind took advantage of this and eventually succeeded in making Hawthorn its primary host.
Biography

| When Queen Wasp started to threaten the LeafWings, Hawthorn started to become desperate and searched for a way to stop her. That was when he remembered the Legend of the Hive and went searching for the breath of evil. During a diplomatic event between Queen Wasp and Queen Sequoia, Hawthorn put a small amount of it in Queen Wasp's food. When Hawthorn and Queen Sequoia realized that they unintentionally gave Queen Wasp mind-control powers, Queen Sequoia banished him to solitude to find a cure. Later, he used his powerful leafspeak and changed it to only work on HiveWings. While alone, the grasp of the othermind became a strong influence on Hawthorn. |

| Hawthorn was taken over by the othermind through the consumption of breath of evil, which he discovered in the Eye of the jungle. He tested the breath of evil on himself, and upon discovering that he could control dragonbite vipers with it, he continued using the breath of evil. He eventually succumbed to the othermind because the othermind kept suggesting things that Hawthorn felt compelled to obey. Eventually, Hawthorn's mental state began to decay, becoming completely controlled by the othermind. He met with Cricket, Nettle, Sundew, Willow, Mandrake, and Bumblebee in the Eye of the jungle, offering them some tea. He told the story of his exile to the group and admitted he was why Wasp got her mind control power. He showed them his many carvings, including his most prized carving, which was actually the othermind seed.

Relationships
Upon meeting Cricket and the others traveling with her, Hawthorn initially thought that the tribes had achieved peace. However, Nettle explained why Cricket was with them, and Hawthorn felt sympathy for her condition, relating to her because they had both been cast out of their tribes for what they both felt were unreasonable things. He also appreciated Cricket's interest in scientific affairs and how she wanted to help all three Pantalan tribes achieve peace. However, he still shrank away from her as his first instinct was to stay away from a HiveWing.
Hawthorn seemed fond of the snakes that kept him company throughout his fifty-year exile. He did not want them killed and considered them smart. He used them as test subjects in his experimentation with the breath of evil, who obey him and serve as his protective army.
Hawthorn was very loyal towards Queen Sequoia. It was evident that he missed her very much and wanted to see her again. He had several carvings dedicated to her.
Hawthorn seemed to like Sundew, but it may have been a means to gain Sundew's trust, as the othermind wanted to control her and access her powerful leafspeak abilities.
The Othermind
Hawthorn seemed very fond of the othermind. He was very protective of his favorite carving which appeared to be an egg with leaves on the top and bottom, which was later revealed to be a depiction of the breath of evil's seed. He also seemed to follow the othermind's orders without struggle, even when he was not actively controlled by it. He nursed it back to health when it was shriveled up.
