Io

Template:QuoteBox Template:Charbox Io is a young female SilkWing who made her debut in The Lost Continent when she warned Blue not to trust the HiveWings and helped him escape The Cocoon. Io was successful in helping Blue flee, but what happened to her after this fight was unknown to Blue until the events of The Poison Jungle, where it was revealed that she had successfully escaped from the HiveWings.

Appearance

Io has huge, indigo wings dotted with shimmers of iridescent, aquamarine green, as well as long, aristocratic-looking bones and horns. She is also much taller and bigger than Luna, towering over her. She is purple, with hints of green along her wings and spine..

Biography

The Lost Continent

Io was first shown at Luna's Metamorphosis, as she attended to support her brother's girlfriend. When she saw the excessive amount of HiveWing guards and Luna's glowing orange wrists, she suspected that Luna had flamesilk; Io turned out to be correct. She was worried that Blue might have inherited the ability from Admiral as well, and she helped him escape the Cocoon so that he wouldn't be captured as well. She hastily explained about the Chrysalis and how he needed to find them in order to receive help. She was last seen valiantly fighting mind-controlled HiveWing guards as Blue fled into a school courtyard.

The Hive Queen

Swordtail mentions Io when mentioning The Chrysalis, how she told Blue about The Chrysalis and how he told Cricket about them.

The Poison Jungle

Io was seen by Sundew in a shack in the SapWings village after she was found along with Tsunami and Turtle from The Distant Kingdoms. She was found on the edge of the Poison Jungle running from the HiveWings.  Later on, Io was reunited with her brother, Swordtail, when they hear the legend of the Hive recited by Queen Sequoia. 

Io is later seen at the end of the book, before the SilkWings and LeafWings depart for the distant kingdoms, deciding to stay with Cinnabar to save the rest of the SilkWings.

Quotes

"No, [...] You don't think..." -To Swordtail about Luna's wrists.

"Should we do something? [...] Tell someone?" -To Swordtail about Luna.

"Oh no." -When Luna is discovered to be a flamesilk.

"Did you know?" -To Burnet about Luna.

"You could have warned us, [...] We could have hidden her!" -To Burnet about Luna.

"You run." -To Blue.

"No way! [...] We can't just let them take him!" -To Burnet when she says Blue should turn himself in for being a flamesilk.

"Neither is Luna, [...] Flamesilk is something you hatch with. She must have inherited it from your father, which means you have it too. Which means they'll come for you next." -To Blue about Luna being sick and how he isn't.

"We don't know, [...] We've never been able to find out. Flamesilks are very rare, and the HiveWings make them vanish immediately." -To Blue about what's happening to Luna.

"Do you see why you have to run? [...] All clear. Quick, while they're busy with Luna and Swordtail." -To Blue.

"Anywhere! [...] Run, hide, and don't let them find you!" -To Blue.

"Why did it have to be you? [...] The one SilkWing who thinks HiveWings have any good in them? Listen, Blue. Stop trusting them right now. They've let you go about your ordinary life so far, but now you look dangerous to them, and they're not going to let you have that life back. It's gone." -To Blue.

"I know, [...] Unfortunately, I think that's true. [...] But they don't care. Please promise me you'll hide from them, Blue. Don't let them catch you."

"There are SilkWings who can help you, [...] if you can find them. A group called the Chrysalis."

"Because every time someone says to you, 'Hey, wasn't that mean what that HiveWing did?' you say, 'Oh, maybe she's tired or frustrated with work or just lost something important or is having a fight with her sister', and then it's kind of hard to follow up with 'Well, care to join a movement to take her down?'" - To Blue about why he hasn't heard of the Chrysalis.

"Duck your head, [...] Pretend to be a servant. Walk quickly but not too fast."

"I think... run."

"Go, Blue! [...] Get out of here!"
