| '''Willow''' is a young female [[LeafWings|LeafWing]] who was introduced in the epilogue of ''[[The Hive Queen]]'' and appeared in ''[[The Poison Jungle (Book)|The Poison Jungle]]'' as one of the more important supporting characters. She is a [[SapWings|SapWing]] and is currently in a relationship with [[Sundew]], though against [[Commander Belladonna|Belladonna]]'s will. She is traveling to the [[Pyrrhia|Distant Kingdoms]] with Sundew, [[Cricket]], [[Bumblebee]], and several other LeafWing and [[SilkWings|SilkWing]] refugees.
| |
| | |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| Willow has river-deep, deer-brown eyes and pale forest-green scales, with graceful wings and the undersides being a lighter shade of green. She also has a darker pine-green dappled leaf pattern on her scales like the shadows of long oval leaves.{{Ref|TPJ|74}}{{Ref|TPJ|260}} According to Sundew, she has a perfect, “crinkly and sparkly” face, sparkling disposition, and eyes that smile.{{Ref|TPJ|76}} It has also been noted by Sundew that up close, she carries the scent of mint, chocolate, and new rain.{{Ref|TPJ|78}}
| |
| | |
| == Personality ==
| |
| Thoughtful and caring, Willow is a kind dragon that is often the voice of reason towards Sundew. Willow often preferred to take a reasonable approach to things unlike Sundew's snarky or even aggressive manner.
| |
| | |
| Even if Sundew is angry or frustrated, Willow is able to stay calm and calm down Sundew in turn, and is not inclined toward shouting or being angry, as when Sundew noted that [[Queen Sequoia|Sequoia]] might feel better if she took her anger out on others or yelled at others, Willow replies that she wouldn't feel better and that yelling at others has only made her feel worse.
| |
| | |
| However, Willow can also be fierce or determined when trying to save others, namely when she swiftly kills a big snake in order to save [[Tsunami]] and [[Turtle]] or when she kills [[Hawthorn]] in order to save Cricket.
| |
| | |
| When Sundew expresses her anger at them being forced to run away, Willow says she is as well and she feels everything she's feeling, saying that she's never let herself get mad like that before. She tells Sundew that Sundew's right that she should be mad, but she needs to focus on who deserves her anger.
| |
| | |
| == Biography ==
| |
| === [[The Lost Continent (Book)|''The Lost Continent'']] ===
| |
| Willow was briefly mentioned by Sundew, who wondered why she wanted to save the SilkWing tribe.
| |
| | |
| === [[The Hive Queen|''The Hive Queen'']] ===
| |
| In Chapter Six, Sundew said: "Wil--my tribe would fall over ''laughing'' at me right now." The 'Wil' that Sundew mentioned before cutting off most likely was referring to Willow.
| |
| | |
| In the epilogue, Willow was shown saving [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]] and [[Prince Turtle|Turtle]] from a large snake when they first arrived at [[Pantala]]. She introduced herself and told the two that if they wanted to live, they should go back to where they came from. She later in the next book stated that Turtle most likely would not have made the trip back.

| | |
| ===[[The Poison Jungle (Book)|''The Poison Jungle'']]===
| |
| Willow first appears in a flashback Sundew has when she goes to meet Willow. Sundew, who is two years old, is chasing a frog who ate the grasshopper she was "''saving''," and notices the sky is getting darker. She heads towards a pond, and searches for the frog, yelling angry curses at it. Willow interrupts her and says "Who are you talking to?" Sundew says she's looking for her "''archnemesis''", and Willow thinks it's a dragon. Sundew explains that her archnemesis is a frog, and Willow starts laughing so hard her shoulders start shaking. Sundew asks where Willow is from, and Willow points to the trees, away from the LeafWing village. Sundew is confused and says her name. Willow says her name, and Sundew explains that she's the savior of Pantala from the [[HiveWings]]. Willow gasps and realizes Sundew is a "[[PoisonWings|PoisonWing]]" and flies over to inspect her. Willow also explains that [[Queen Sequoia]] is alive, and living with the [[SapWings]] (although Willow calls them the "real LeafWings"). She goes on and adds that Sequoia was meeting with [[Belladonna]] to negotiate peace. Sundew argues that they need to fight [[Queen Wasp|Wasp]], and Willow calms her. After both standing by each other's sides, Sundew notices that their heartbeats had synced. They stood together for a while before Sundew announced that she decided to spare the "''odious''" frog's life. Willow laughed and said that she had just decided to wait until the frog came out so she could kill it. They both laughed about it, and Willow requested that Sundew moves to the SapWing village with her. Sundew reluctantly denied. Every time Willow asked again, but the answer was always a no. They came to meet each other the next night at the same place, and Willow gave Sundew a jade frog. Sundew was to set it on a rock by the pond each night so Willow would know she was there.
| |
| | |
| Sundew and Willow continued to meet each other in the same spot for four years. After returning to the present time, Willow entered the clearing and saw the frog. They had not seen each other for many days since Sundew had to leave the jungle. Sundew bounded into Willow's wings. Willow explained her daring rescue plan that she was thinking up. Sundew gave her flowers and explained everything that she had done since she was gone. Willow freaked out and exclaimed that they had to tell the queen, as the HiveWings were likely on their way. Sundew tried to protest, but Queen Sequoia, who had been eavesdropping the entire conversation, entered and told her that she needed to know. Willow is revealed to be Sundew's girlfriend.
| |
| | |
| Willow brings Sundew to the village of the SapWings. They meet [[Queen Hazel]] and Sundew shows Sequoia the [[Breath of Evil]] vine from Wasp’s greenhouse. Sequoia’s reaction is shocked. Willow then leads Sundew to see the new dragons. There, they see [[Io]], Tsunami and Turtle.
| |
| | |
| Willow witnesses Sequoia’s telling of the [[Legend of the Hive]]. She brings Sundew to meet her father, and then goes with [[Mandrake]], [[Nettle]], [[Cricket]] and Sundew. She helps free Nettle from a pitcher plant, and leads them safely past the Manchineel grove, to the den of vipers and meets [[Hawthorn]]. Willow and the others hear his story and take him to [[Queen Sequoia]].
| |
| | |
| Hawthorn is revealed to be under the control of the Othermind and threatens Willow. Sundew makes a real sundew plant grow under him. He threatens Cricket, and Willow kills him with a long thorn.
| |
| | |
| Willow, Sundew, Cricket and [[Mandrake]] move all the remaining PoisonWings to the SapWing village. Hazel, now the Queen of the Leafwings, finds the map in the [[Book of Clearsight]], and the tribes move to go to [[Pyrrhia]]. Io and [[Cinnabar]] bring [[The Chrysalis]] to the [[Gullet River]] but stay back to help [[SilkWings]] in the other hives. Willow convinces Sundew, who was originally against the idea, to take everyone to the Distant Kingdoms for safety.
| |
| | |
| At the end of ''The Poison Jungle,'' we see that they are very, ''very'' close to Pyrrhia, as an IceWing scout saw a cloud of dragons off of the coast.

| == Quotes ==
| |
| ''“I‘m Willow' [...] 'and if you want to live, you should turn around and go back there right now.” ''- To Tsunami and Turtle
| |
| | |
| “''A crocodile? A monitor lizard? Oh, a Gila monster! Those things are ''cranky''. I nearly got into a fight with one last two moons night, because I stepped on its tail, but I obviously didn't mean to! Hey, maybe it's the same one!''” - To Sundew
| |
| | |
| “You ''know they don’t! There’s a monster inside them. There’s a monster leading them. If you scatter your anger around like dandelion seeds, you’ll hurt everyone, tire yourself out, and end up with a bunch of indignant dandelions. But if you summon it all together and aim for the monsters, you‘ll win. I know you will. Because you’re Sundew, my forever dragon.” ''- To Sundew
| |
| | |
| ''"By all the trees... Who ''are ''you talking to?" ''- To Sundew
| |
| | |
| ''"But how can you be? You look just like us! [...] Maybe a little prettier. [...] Maybe a lot." ''- To Sundew, wondering how she's a PoisonWing
| |
| | |
| ''"It's not that bad here [...] Right? I mean...I think it's better with, um...interesting company." ''- To Sundew, about living in the Poison Jungle
| |
| | |
| ''"Shhhh...You don't have to do anything right this second. Just be here. Breathe." - ''To Sundew
| |
| | |
| ''"Don't you think ''thump'' is a terrible word? I mean, that's what most dragons would say our hearts are doing, but it doesn't ''feel ''thumpy to me. ''Pulse'' doesn't seem right either. ''Beat'' sounds too violent. It's not quite tapping. There should be a better word for this." ''- To Sundew
| |
| | |
| ''"Oh! That's too bad. ''I ''had just decided to camp out by this pond until it emerges so I could murder it for you." ''- To Sundew, when Sundew decides to spare the frog's life in Willow's honor
| |
| | |
| ''"Well, no one has ever offered to ''not'' murder a frog for me before [...] It's very magnanimous of you." ''- To Sundew, still about the frog
| |
| | |
| ''"You were gone ''forever''! I have so much to tell you! I've been waiting and waiting and checking the boulder every night and it was dreadful and I didn't like it and let's never do that again! I was half afraid Belladonna must have found out about us. I started to wonder whether I needed to mount a daring rescue operation - blast through the barrier! Knock the other PoisonWings aside! Tear down your prison and sweep you away to safety! Wouldn't that have been so heroic?" ''- To Sundew
| |
| | |
| ''"Hazel ''is'' a friend of mine, like all the dragonets our age in the village. But if what you're ''really ''asking is 'Hey, Willow, have you by any chance fallen in love with some other dragon while I abandoned you to go start a war and frolic with SilkWings?' the answer is no, I haven't, you're still the only dragon for me, even when you ask silly veiled questions." ''- To Sundew when she asks about Hazel
| |
| | |
| ''"And you're still the only dragon for me, too, Willow, light of my life, I promise I will never fall for a beautiful SilkWing and leave you." ''- To Sundew, teasingly prompting her to say something romantic
| |
| | |
| ''"I think you mean, 'Aw, you're my forever dragon, too, Willow.'" - ''To Sundew, teasingly prompting her again
| |
| | |
| ''"You're like, ''really ''good at this romance thing." ''- To Sundew
| |

| == Trivia ==
| |
| * Though the willow genus contains over 400 kinds of shrubs and trees, she is most likely named after the weeping willow tree. It is possible, however unlikely, that this is an example of literary irony and that she will or has gone through some kind of trauma.
| |
| * It is stated by Tsunami that Willow had an odd accent. As of current, it is unknown if it is only Willow and the LeafWings that speak with this accent, or if it is all the Pantalan dragons. It is most likely unique to the LeafWings, as Tsunami has met [[Luna|a SilkWing]] and did not comment on her accent.
| |
| * It has been revealed that Willow is a pacifist. However, according to Tui, it is not welcome among her tribe. This is half true, as the PoisonWings and SapWings are very far apart.
| |
| * In ''[[The Poison Jungle (Book)|The Poison Jungle]]'', Sundew thinks about a carved jade frog that reminds her of the dragon she's "not supposed to think about.” This was a gift from Willow, and since the two dragons are from opposite factions, they shouldn’t be able to meet.
| |
| * It has been confirmed that Willow is Sundew's girlfriend. This makes her one of ten confirmed LGBT+ characters (the others being [[Princess Anemone|Anemone]], [[Burnet]], [[Silverspot]], [[Snowflake]], [[Princess Snowfox|Snowfox]], [[Umber]], [[Sundew]], and [[Violet]]'s dads) in the series.
| |
| * Willow also says that she has a cockatoo named “Talkatoo”, which reveals that LeafWings have pets, and that cockatoos live on Pantala.
