Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
Cinnabar was part of the Jewel Hive Chrysalis and first appeared when Cricket, Blue, Sundew, and Swordtail hid in the Jewel Hive library. When Queen Wasp arrived through a mind controlled 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 come 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.
