Heliconia

Template:CharboxHeliconia is one of the RainWings in Queen Glory's secret and  invisible guard, which is in place to quietly follow the queen and protect her from potential assassination attempts. The guard really isn't that secret, because Glory knows about them but other assassinators won't know about them. In Winter Turning, Glory accidentally mistook her for Banana. Heliconia politely and curtly states that it was a good guess.

Biography

Winter Turning

Glory mistook Heliconia for Banana while Heliconia was following her. She is then assigned to alerting the scout captains of the Queen to meet her at the pavilion as quickly as possible, though Heliconia doesn't want to leave her unguarded. It can be noted that she is very protective and polite towards Queen Glory.

Later, Heliconia wanted to refuse Winter entry to the hatchery, saying he looked too 'hostile' because Winter at that time wanted to establish IceWing superiority on a small scale of 0-2.
