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.

According to Cricket, Lady Jewel is fascinated with art. She also has an art scene located at the Jewel Hive. She is known to be the most lax with Hive security, and has the least orderly 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. She does not like Queen Wasp, and according to some of her servants, gives them a medal when Wasp orders her to punish them severely. She helped Cricket escape from prison, and is unable to be mind controlled by Wasp. She ordered the library in Jewel Hive built and filled it with history books hoping that some of the citizen of Jewel Hive would see through the HiveWings' lies.

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

Relationships

Queen Wasp

Despite sharing blood, Lady Jewel and Queen Wasp don't get along. Wasp thinks her cousin is weak and stupid. This biased view could lead to the queen's downfall.
