Sundew
Template:SpoilerTLC Template:QuoteBoxTemplate:Charbox Sundew is a female LeafWing and one of the four known LeafWings left alive, along with her mother Belladonna, her father Hemlock, and a LeafWing named Willow. She helped Cricket and Blue steal the Book of Clearsight.
Appearance
Sundew has a small[1] and wiry[2] body and a face similar to her mother’s[3]. She has dark[2] and “very green”[4] scales, with small gold scales speckled along the edges of her wings and talons and across her snout, and she wears several small pouches, woven from long grass and fashioned from leaves[3]. She has emerald green eyes hinted with tiny flecks of gold.
Biography
Sundew appeared later in the book, asking her mother to kill Blue, Cricket, and Swordtail and then leave their bodies someplace outside the greenhouse, saying, "That will really scare those worms in the Hive." her mother (Belladonna) immediately disagrees.
Sundew accompanied Blue and Cricket to the Temple, to help them steal the Book of Clearsight. Blue thought about betraying her to the HiveWing guards, but didn't. In the Temple of Clearsight, she paralyzed several HiveWing guards from a distance with blow-darts, and also defaces a carving of Queen Wasp. Cricket protested that the vandalism was unnecessary, but all Sundew said was, "Wait till I get to her actual face." Sundew later fought the Librarian while the HiveWing was under Queen Wasp's mind control. Although The Librarian was bigger and stronger, Sundew broke her arm and nearly killed her before Cricket intervened. Sundew then freed the Librarian of Queen Wasp's mind control using bullet ants to bite the dragon, causing unbearable pain.
In the ensuing chaos, Blue lost track of Sundew and didn't know if she or Cricket had escaped the Temple with the Book. However, they later made contact with Blue again, and Sundew revealed that she had escaped, and, using a tunnel system made by LeafWings, originally to find a way into the Hive from below, could rescue Blue and Luna, which she did by growing something amazingly fast and using its roots to punch a hole in the wall. She then led them through the tunnel to the sea.
When talking, Sundew said that she would probably go back to the LeafWings, to form a new plan to take down the HiveWings. However, when Luna and Swordtail were discovered by HiveWing soldiers, she kept into the fight to protect them, and ended up fighting alone. Since this was the last Blue saw of her before entering his Metamorphosis, no one knows what happened to her yet.
Personality
Sundew is very aggressive at first but seems to calm down as she grows closer to Blue and Cricket. She appears to be very skillful at fighting, as shown when she fought The Librarian in the Temple of Clearsight. She is an expert on using bugs and plants as weapons that can paralyze, cause pain, and knock dragons out.
She dislikes HiveWings due to what they did to her tribe, as well as SilkWings for submitting to Queen Wasp, calling them "subservient worms". However, some of her opinions might have changed after her experience with Luna, Swordtail, and Blue.
