Burnet

"Oh, I've seen so many of these, and there's always something surprising. Never anything serious, though. Nothing to worry about."

— Burnet to Io and Swordtail before Luna's metamorphosis, The Lost Continent

Burnet is an adult female SilkWing who was introduced in The Lost Continent. She is Blue's biological mother, Luna's stepmother, and Silverspot's partner. Her former partner was Admiral.

Personality

Burnet is very loving towards her partner and children, but does not seem to be an adept mother. She seems to prefer following the rules, choosing not to help save Blue from the HiveWing guards. Even after that, Blue still cares deeply for his mother, remarking several times his concern for her safety, saying he misses her and Silverspot.

Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Lost Continent

Burnet was mentioned to work on strengthening the silk bridges, where the SilkWings lived. She was also mentioned to work as a night crew, which was why she had been gone since midnight. It was stated that both Burnet and Silverspot were the former assigned partners of Admiral. However, he was supposedly "whisked away to another Hive once there were eggs," which was presumably a lie of Queen Wasp's to cover up the truth about the flamesilks. The queen gave Burnet her partner of choice, Silverspot, although dragons who loved each other were usually separated.

Burnet was also shown when Luna was taken away by HiveWing guards. She watched as Io helped Blue escape the queen's grasp, wearily saying that it would probably be better for Blue to just turn himself in. She made no attempts to save her son when he and Io escaped the Cocoon.

The Hive Queen

Burnet was briefly mentioned by Blue when he stated that he missed his moms. However, she was not directly mentioned.

The Dangerous Gift

Burnet was mentioned by Blue to be in the Hatchery with all the other SilkWings until there was enough breath of evil ready for them. Snowfall recounted this event about Blue and his mothers later.

The Flames of Hope

Burnet was mentioned by Swordtail as one of the SilkWings he was guarding when Luna used the dreamvisitor to talk to him. Later, Burnet and Silverspot reunited with their children and were introduced to Cricket, though a bit hesitant towards her.

Relationships

Admiral

Burnet was Admiral's partner at one point and had Blue with him. Soon after, Admiral was moved to another Hive, later revealed to be Wasp Hive. They were never shown to have real feelings toward each other.

Blue

Blue is Burnet's son, who she loves dearly. Blue constantly thinks and worries about her when he was a fugitive on the run from Wasp.

Silverspot

It is stated by Blue that Burnet and Silverspot "loved each other more than they could ever have loved Admiral," and that their partnership worked out for the best.

Trivia

• Burnet is likely named after one of the species in the Zygaenidae family of moth called burnet, such as the Six-spot burnet.
