Quotes

"No! We need every dragon we can get on our side! I'd rather have fifty SilkWings who are at least trying to do the right thing than three who are perfect in every way by your standards." - To Morpho^{The Hive Queen, page 136}

"Oh, wow. You actually shut Morpho up for a moment. You can definitely be in my Chrysalis." - To Cricket^{The Hive Queen, page 147}

Trivia

• Her name is a reference to the cinnabar moth. Cinnabar is also a mineral.
• There has been some confusion about Cinnabar's scales. There is a line in The Hive Queen that says "With a few black scales, slightly different wings, and a much scarier expression, she could almost have passed for a HiveWing." Many people misunderstood this, believing she has black scales, while the phrase says if she had black scales she could look like a HiveWing.
