Blue

Template:SpoilerTLC Template:Charbox Blue is a male dragonet SilkWing and the main protagonist of The Lost Continent. He is the biological son of Admiral and Burnet, being the half-brother of Luna and stepson of Silverspot. He, like Luna, inhertied the flamesilk ability from their father, but was unaware of this for most of his life. He has a crush on Cricket, though it is uncertain if she returns his feelings. == Personality == Blue is a sweet, anxious dragonet with an immense curiosity for the world, and mostly, the lives of the dragons in it. He often daydreams and wonders how each dragon wakes up and proceeds their day, and how they differ from himself. He was never bothered about the fact that the HiveWings were considered superior to the SilkWings, and always did his best to abide by the rules and stay out of trouble, even earning a Good Citizenship award. He was shown to be empathetic when, in The Lost Continent, he worried about his sister Luna and later Io when she was fighting HiveWing soldiers. Blue is also an honest dragon, and always strives to tell the truth. == Appearance == Blue has gemlike azure and bright morpho butterfly blue scales, purple scales on his back, and lavender scales on his arms. His wingbuds are an iridescent violet, a brighter, more purple shade than the rest of his scales. On the cover of The Lost Continent, he is depicted as the opposite: purple and blue with blue wings. He is fairly small, and his and his parents’ initials are carved into his right palm, forming a triangle. Cricket described him as being one of the most colorful (and handsome) SilkWings she'd ever seen, as his vibrant scales could be seen from a mile away. == Biography == === The Lost Continent === Blue was born in Cicada Hive to Admiral and Burnet, although he had never met his father and only knew his name; instead, his family consisted of Burnet, Silverspot, and Luna. Blue was never devastated over the fact that he had never known Admiral; it was even mentioned in The Lost Continent that Blue thought Burnet and Silverspot were a much better match. At the beginning of the book, Blue was woken up by Luna, who was excitedly announcing her Metamorphosis Day. They went to the market to buy two honey drops to celebrate her last day as a SilkWing dragonet, but they had to check in at the entrance of the Wasp Hive, and a HiveWing soldier named Hawker checked their identification bands and carvings. Afterwards, Blue and Luna entered a candy store named The Sugar Dream; Chafer, the current salesdragon, was rude to the SilkWings, insisting that they wait until Lady Scarab had finished selecting her candy to check them out. Two other HiveWings, one by the name of Weevil, were rude to them as well, but Lady Scarab invited Weevil to help her pick up her selection, and insisted that Chafer to help the SilkWings while she was collecting them. When he refused, Scarab released a foul-smelling smoke that convinced him otherwise. After they received their honey drops from a disgusted-looking Chafer, they continued to the Mosaic Garden, where Luna complained about pain in her silk glands, which were glowing a faint orange color. Blue nervously hoped that both of their metamorphosis cycles would go normally. Unfortunately for Blue, Luna's wrists glowed brighter and brighter as they reached the Cocoon, where young SilkWings going into metamorphosis spent five days in peace and comfort until their wings were fully developed. Blue's anxiety grew as he saw five HiveWing guards waiting for Luna's arrival; Blue, Luna's friend Swordtail, and Swordtail's sister Io, and Burnet were sent to a balcony to spectate Luna beginning her Metamorphosis, although all three looked nervous, which further worried Blue. As flamesilk erupted from Luna's wrists, the HiveWings reached forward to grab her; Swordtail leapt off the balcony edge and started to fight them tooth and claw, while Io helped Blue escape. Burnet wearily watched from the back, neither interfering nor helping. Io explained that Blue would have to stop trusting the HiveWings in order to stay free, and that Queen Wasp would want him locked up because of his potential flamesilk abilities. They land in a park next to a HiveWing school, and Blue notes all the families playing and enjoying the end of their day. Posing as SilkWing servants, they manage to remain unnoticed for a few moments, until the HiveWing Queen mind controls the entire Park (and presumably the Hive) looking for Blue. Io gets tangled up in fighting, and is unable to help Blue fly away from the ledge at the edge of the park. Instead, she shoots silk for him to climb on, and he manages to get over the fence of the HiveWing school. As he contemplates where to hide, a voice beckons him from a shed, and he squashes in with his rescuer. She leads him to a trap door in the side of the shed, and through the tunnels beyond it, which seem to range all over the school. They reach the library, and as Blue gets a good look at his rescuer for the first time, he realizes that she is a HiveWing. She introduces herself as Cricket, and begins to talk a mile a minute, asking questions and sharing. She explains that the queen can mind control the entire tribe, but Cricket is, for some reason, immune. As she talks, Blue feels a prickle under his armband, but dismisses it. Cricket asks him what he did to earn the queen's wrath, and he protests that he did nothing, but she points out that he must have done something. Blue explains that it's his sister's Metamorphosis Day, and she's a flamesilk, and he might be one too. Cricket finds it amazing that Luna is a flamesilk, but before she can tell Blue what she knows, he begins to lose consciousness. Cricket theorizes that there might be some poison in his wristband, so they can incapitate Blue even if they can't find him. Cricket decides that they need to remove his wristband, so she shatters a lamp in the library, revealing a sliver of flamesilk inside. She takes this and uses in to carefully burn off Blue's cuff, and he thanks her as he loses consciousness. == Family Tree ==
