== Personality ==
Cinnabar's actions show that she is a kind and outspoken SilkWing. She thinks, unlike [[Morpho]], that they could get the HiveWings to join them if they could think for themselves. She is shown to disapprove of [[Tau]] and [[Treehopper]]'s relationship, but it may be because she doesn't want the Chrysalis to be discovered by [[Queen Wasp]]. Cinnabar is relatively sympathetic, as shown when she said that the HiveWings might join them if they weren't controlled by Wasp, and she is also open to new ideas.

Cinnabar was part of the Jewel Hive Chrysalis. She first appeared in [[The Hive Queen|''The Hive Queen'']] when Cricket, [[Blue]], [[Sundew]], and [[Swordtail]] hid in the library. When Queen Wasp came, mind-controlling a HiveWing soldier, she eventually exposed herself along with Tau and apologizing for sneaking out to read in the library to cover. When Wasp persisted that she saw blue wings, Cinnabar explained that it was her cousin Morpho who had came to scold the two and had just left; she also added that it may have been the blankets they were using. She and Tau were then taken away to be "punished" by Lady Jewel. Later, when Cricket used the flamesilk, she and Tau helped Cricket up into the kitchen. She explained to Cricket that whenever Wasp ordered Lady Jewel to punish them, she gave them a medal instead.

== Trivia ==
* There has been some confusion about Cinnabar's scales. There is a line in The Hive Queen that says "With a few black scales, slightly different wings, and a much scarier expression, she could almost have passed for a HiveWing." Many people misunderstood this, believing she has black scales, while the phrase says ''if'' she had black scales she ''could'' look like a HiveWing.
