- "I am Lady Jewel's chief steward, and he is her treasurer. We are allowed to have an ordinary, everyday conversation."
- — Tau to Cinnabar about Treehopper, The Hive Queen
Template:Charbox Tau is a female SilkWing with a mangled wing who made her debut in The Hive Queen. She is a member of the Chrysalis, and works as the chief steward for Lady Jewel. She is in a forbidden relationship with a HiveWing named Treehopper.
Appearance
Tau has pale yellow and pale brown scales, like bananas and cashews mashed together. She has dark amber eyes[1], pale yellow antennae[2], and gold stripes painted on her claws. One of her back wings is smaller than the other and sticks out at an awkward angle, making it difficult for her to fly[1].
Personality
Tau appears to be soft-spoken and friendly when meeting Cricket and her friends. She also dreams of a better future for her tribe, as she is a member of the Chrysalis.
Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
Tau first appeared arguing in Jewel Hive's library with Morpho and Cinnabar. She appeared to agree with Cinnabar that not all HiveWings were awful when Cricket introduced herself. When Sundew proposed war on the HiveWings, Tau stepped up with tears in her eyes, saying she thought all the LeafWings were dead. Sundew awkwardly accepted the compliment (making Cricket feel someone envious), and Tau was revealed to have one small wing, likely a natural deformity. When Queen Wasp (in some soldier's minds) began trying keys to the library, Tau was shown to lack the ability to fly as they try to get to the bookdrop Cricket suggested. After the soldiers got desperate, she and Cinnabar revealed themselves to allow the others to escape, claiming that they snuck into the library to read. They denied Wasp's accusation of Blue, and are then led away.
Later, when Cricket was attempting to escape from Lady Jewel's prison, Tau was shown to be one of the SilkWings to assist her escape. As the chief steward, she seemed to have respect from several other SilkWings as she and Cinnabar told them to help but pretend nothing was seen. She also claimed to Cricket that whenever Wasp ordered their punishment, Jewel always gave them a medal. As the three of them left, Tau ran into Treehopper, her forbidden crush. The two chat for a while, and Cinnabar told Cricket that they were so obvious. Treehopper was then mind controlled by Wasp before shaking it off awkwardly after she left. Cricket said that she needed to go.
Tau was later seen when Cricket came out of the nest and Blue led her to the stall they were in. Tau told Cricket that the SilkWing fixing a crack with Swordtail was part of the Chrysalis. As the group gathered their things, Cricket explained to Tau what she saw in the nest. Sundew advised Tau to keep the SilkWing dragonets and other flightless SilkWings away from Jewel Hive and into somewhere safe just in case the LeafWings were to burn the Hive.
Relationships
She is in a relationship with Treehopper despite the risks. According to Cinnabar, their relationship is quite obvious.
