Biography

The Lost Continent

Danaid makes her first appearance in The Lost Continent when Blue runs into her while exploring the Flamesilk Factory. Danaid immediately starts up the conversation with him and remarks how it is so good to have new company around the cavern. While talking with Blue, Danaid accidentally starts up a shouting fight between her, Pierid, and Fritillary. She also lists all of the Flamesilks kept in the factory to Blue (Excluding Whitespeck) Admiral steps into the conversation and tells Danaid to stop "poisoning" his son's mind, and after a short argument, Danaid reluctantly stops talking to Blue.

Blue sees Danaid later in a nightmare, shouting at Pieird and Fritillary in the winding halls of Cricket's school.

After Blue discovers that Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail were going to break him out of the Flamesilk Factory through a mysterious hole in the wall, Danaid who was spying on him asks if he was alright. Blue lies to her saying that he found some rocks he thought Luna would like. Danaid asks if Blue will introduce his sister to her, and Blue promises that he will.

When Blue and Luna try to convince Admiral to escape with them, their father says that it isn't right and tries to get the attention of the guards to arrest his dragonets. Danaid overheard the conversation and starts shouting at him to stop annoying the guards. This argument soon gets Fritillary involved, and Blue realizes that Danaid is trying to create a giant shouting commotion to distract the guards and help Blue and his sister escape. Danaid’s plan is a success, and soon all ten flamesilks are screaming at each other. Blue goes over and thanks Danaid for her help and introduces her to Luna as he promised. Blue offers her to come with them, but she says that she doesn't think her old heart would survive running, even for her life, and tells them to come back for her if they can find a more sedate way to get her out of the Flamesilk Factory.
