Template:QuoteBoxTemplate:Charbox Cinnabar is a female SilkWing who is a member of The Chrysalis and works as a cook for Lady Jewel.
Appearance
Cinnabar is small[1], with burnt[2] orange scales[3] that are dappled with glints of dark red under her wings and along her spine. Cricket said that if she had a few black scales, slightly different wings, and a much scarier expression, she almost could have passed for a HiveWing[4].
Personality
Cinnabar is a noble and outspoken SilkWing. She thinks, unlike Morpho, that they could get the HiveWings to join them if they had the ability to 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.
Biography
Cinnabar was part of the Jewel Hive Chrysalis. She first appeared in 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.
Quotes
"No! We need every dragon we can get on our side! I'd rather have fifty SilkWings who are at least trying to do the right thing than three who are perfect in every way by your standards." - To MorphoThe Hive Queen, page 136
"Oh, wow. You actually shut Morpho up for a moment. You can definitely be in my Chrysalis." - To CricketThe Hive Queen, page 147
Trivia
- Her name is a reference to the cinnabar moth.
- Cinnabar is also a reddish-brown mineral.
- 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.
