While visiting the Mosaic Garden with [[Luna]], [[Blue]] and his half-sister came across the Salvation Wall, which is a giant mural depicting the end of the Tree Wars. Blue noticed a dark green LeafWing who was supposed to resemble Queen Sequoia, and he wondered why she refused to accept [[Queen Wasp]]'s rule like [[Queen Monarch]] did. Blue attempted to imagine himself as Sequoia, leading her tribe into a single-outcome war.

|content = Queen Sequoia was revealed to still be alive. She ruled the SapWings and when Sundew and [[Willow]] were first reunited, she found them and took them both back to the [[SapWing village]]. There, she learned about the PoisonWings and their plan to burn down the Hives. While they are in the Poison Jungle, Queen Sequoia told the PoisonWings and the SapWings about the "[[Legend of the Hive]]," where groups of mind-controlled insects and animals attacked the first dragons on Pantala. She explained that the [[Plants|plant]] Queen Wasp used to mind-control the HiveWings was the breath of evil. She sent Sundew, Willow, [[Mandrake]], [[Cricket]], [[Bumblebee]], and [[Nettle]] on a mission to find [[Hawthorn]], who was supposedly sent to research the breath of evil because he might have found a cure.


=== [[The Poison Jungle (Book)|''The Poison Jungle'']] ===
When Sundew, Willow, Mandrake, Cricket, Bumblebee, and Nettle found Hawthorn, they discovered that Queen Sequoia did not object to Hawthorn's plan of mind-controlling Queen Wasp. Sundew then decided to be mad at Sequoia after Wasp had been defeated.
In ''The Poison Jungle'', Queen Sequoia is revealed to be alive. She was mentioned in one of Sundew's thoughts. "''But [https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Hawthorn Hawthorn] and [https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Queen_Sequoia Sequoia] did terrible things, too. The [https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/HiveWings HiveWings] would be right to want them to be punished . . . but they would be wrong to want the same for the whole [https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/LeafWings LeafWing] tribe. So maybe . . . Maybe I need to think about that, too. Hawthorn, Sequoia, and [https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Queen_Wasp Wasp]. I should be angry at them - I can be furious at them. I can fight Wasp without hating the entire HiveWing tribe. I can free the HiveWings and spare their lives without betraying my quest. Because Wasp is the real enemy: Wasp and her mind control.''"

At the end, when Sundew and the remaining dragons of Pantala, who were not mind-controlled by the othermind, had to journey to [[Pyrrhia]] to escape from Queen Wasp and the breath of evil with the aid of a map hidden in the Book of Clearsight, Queen Sequoia became mind-controlled by the othermind and could not come with Sundew and the others, and Hazel had to act as queen of the LeafWings, in her place.

Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Lost Continent
While Blue and Luna were visiting the Mosaic Garden, Luna came across the Salvation Wall, which was a giant mural depicting the end of the Tree Wars. Blue noticed a dark green LeafWing who was supposed to resemble Queen Sequoia, and he wondered why she refused to accept Queen Wasp's rule as Ex-Queen Monarch did. Blue then attempted to imagine himself as Sequoia, leading her tribe into a single-outcome war. Later, when reading the Book of Clearsight, Sundew said that Queen Sequoia would have only agreed to Queen Wasp's demands if she saw it written in Clearsight's handwriting.
The Poison Jungle

Queen Sequoia was revealed to still be alive. She ruled the SapWings and when Sundew and Willow were first reunited, she found them and took them both back to the SapWing village. There, she learned about the PoisonWings and their plan to burn down the Hives. While they are in the Poison Jungle, Queen Sequoia told the PoisonWings and the SapWings about the "Legend of the Hive," where groups of mind-controlled insects and animals attacked the first dragons on Pantala. She explained that the plant Queen Wasp used to mind-control the HiveWings was the breath of evil. She sent Sundew, Willow, Mandrake, Cricket, Bumblebee, and Nettle on a mission to find Hawthorn, who was supposedly sent to research the breath of evil because he might have found a cure.

When Sundew, Willow, Mandrake, Cricket, Bumblebee, and Nettle found Hawthorn, they discovered that Queen Sequoia did not object to Hawthorn's plan of mind-controlling Queen Wasp. Sundew then decided to be mad at Sequoia after Wasp had been defeated.

After they returned from their quest, Sequoia aided in the preparations to defend the Poison Jungle from invading HiveWing forces and left her great-great granddaughter, Princess Hazel in command.

The Dangerous Gift
Sequoia was mentioned by Swordtail when he remembered how the breath of evil infected the LeafWings. Later, when Queen Snowfall asked Hazel about what happened to the earlier queen, Sequoia was mentioned to be possibly still alive. She was also mentioned by Blue that Queen Wasp wanted her dead but the othermind did not allow Wasp to do so.
The Flames of Hope
