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 appeared in The Lost Continent. She is Blue's biological mother, Luna's stepmother, and Silverspot's partner. Her former mate 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 to make no attempts to save Blue from the HiveWing guards, although Blue cares deeply for his mother, remarking several times his concern for her safety, saying he misses her and Silverspot.
Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
It was mentioned at the beginning of The Lost Continent 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.
Burnet is briefly mentioned by Blue when he states that he misses his moms.
Relationships
Burnet was Admiral's mate 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 feelings toward each other.
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.
