Jewel (THQ)

Template:Charbox Lady Jewel is a female HiveWing and Queen Wasp's cousin as well as the leader of the Jewel Hive.

Appearance

Lady Jewel is described to be tall and angular by Cricket, and has bright golden scales that look "nearly green in low flamesilk light". She has thin lines of black scales outlining her "iridescent green eyes", dotting her cheekbones, and tracing the veins in her wings. She wears gold earrings shaped like beetles and a necklace of onyx stingers. Her claws are painted with "perfect lines of black and gold".

Personality

Lady Jewel is considered by Wasp to be "a harmless idiot" and often overlooked by her cousin. Some joke about Jewel, saying she is unable to read, but this is false, as she states in The Hive Queen.

Little is known about Lady Jewel but according to Cricket, she is fascinated with art. She also has an art scene located at the Jewel Hive. She also seems to be one of the kinder relatives as Lady Scarab believes that she'll protect Cricket and Katydid from Queen Wasp. As she helped Cricket escape from prison, she is apparently the "good" Hive Ruler.

Lady Scarab, her mother, often throws snide remarks at Lady Jewel. Jewel is often annoyed by this.
