Io

"Listen, Blue. Stop trusting them right now. They've let you go about your ordinary life so far, but now you look dangerous to them, and they're not going to let you have that life back. It's gone. Please promise me you'll hide from them, Blue. And don't let them catch you."

— Io to Blue, The Lost Continent

Template:Charbox Io is a young female SilkWing who first appeared in The Lost Continent, where she warned Blue not to trust the HiveWings and helped him escape The Cocoon when they were chased by HiveWing guards. Io was successful in helping Blue flee, but what happened to her after this fight was unknown to Blue until the events of The Poison Jungle, where it was revealed that she had successfully escaped from the HiveWings before becoming trapped in a carnivorous plant and being rescued by the SapWings. She is currently working to gather the remaining SilkWings belonging to the Chrysalis and save the rest of the SilkWings on Pantala from the HiveWings.

Appearance

Io has huge, indigo wings with splashes of aquamarine green, as well as long, aristocratic-looking bones and horns. Her scales are a deep purple, with lighter blue-tinted under scales. The spikes along her back are a light pearly aquamarine green. She is described as being much taller and bigger than Luna, towering over her. She is purple, with hints of green along her wings and spine..

Personality

Io was shown to be very kind, but sometimes exasperated, like when Blue stopped in The Lost Continent. She is shown to have a hatred towards HiveWings, which is probably part of the reason she joined the Chrysalis. However, when she learned about Cricket, she was quick to thank her, despite her being a HiveWing.

Biography

The Lost Continent

Io was first shown at Luna's Metamorphosis, as she attended to support her brother's girlfriend. When she saw the excessive amount of HiveWing guards and Luna's glowing orange wrists, she suspected that Luna had flamesilk; Io turned out to be correct. She was worried that Blue might have inherited the ability from Admiral as well, and she helped him escape the Cocoon so that he wouldn't be captured as well. She hastily explained about the Chrysalis and how he needed to find them in order to receive help. She was last seen valiantly fighting mind-controlled HiveWing guards as Blue fled into a school courtyard.

The Hive Queen

Swordtail mentions Io when mentioning The Chrysalis, how she told Blue about The Chrysalis and how he told Cricket about them.

The Poison Jungle

Io was seen by Sundew in a home in the SapWings village after she was found along with Tsunami and Turtle from The Distant Kingdoms. She was found on the edge of the Poison Jungle, trapped by a Roridula, running from the HiveWings. Later on, Io was happily reunited with her brother, Swordtail, when they hear the legend of the Hive recited by Queen Sequoia. 

Io is later seen at the end of the book, before the SilkWings and LeafWings depart for the distant kingdoms, deciding to stay with Cinnabar to save the rest of the SilkWings.

Quotes

"No way! [...] We can't just let them take him!"

― to Burnet when she says Blue should turn himself in for being a flamesilk.

---

"Why did it have to be you? [...] The one SilkWing who thinks HiveWings have any good in them? Listen, Blue. Stop trusting them right now. They've let you go about your ordinary life so far, but now you look dangerous to them, and they're not going to let you have that life back. It's gone."

― to Blue about trusting HiveWings

---

"There are SilkWings who can help you, [...] if you can find them. A group called the Chrysalis."

― to Blue when she tells him to run

---

"Because every time someone says to you, 'Hey, wasn't that mean what that HiveWing did?' you say, 'Oh, maybe she's tired or frustrated with work or just lost something important or is having a fight with her sister', and then it's kind of hard to follow up with 'Well, care to join a movement to take her down?"

― to Blue about why he hasn't heard of the Chrysalis.

---

"Well, my plan was to hide with some friends in the Yellowjacket Hive Chrysalis, [...] but when I got there, I was spotted by guards, who chased me pretty much all the way to the jungle. I flew inside to escape them and almost immediately got caught by this enormous horrifying insanely sticky plant. It was going to eat me, Swordtail! With, like, its goo or something! How wild is that? But these dragons rescued me, and they said I could lie low here for a while."

― to Swordtail about being in the Poison Jungle
