Sundew
Template:QuoteBox Template:Charbox Sundew is a young female LeafWing and one of the four known living LeafWings, along with her mother Belladonna, her father Hemlock, and Willow. She helped Cricket and Blue steal the Book of Clearsight and is planning to overthrow Queen Wasp herself. At first, she disliked Blue, Luna, and Swordtail (and outright resented Cricket), but has grown closer to them over time. Sundew will be the main protagonist for book thirteen, The Poison Jungle.
Appearance
Sundew has a small[1] and wiry[2] body and a face similar to her mother, Belladonna. She has forest green[2] scales, with small gold scales speckled along the edges of her wings and talons and across her snout, and she wears several small pouches that contain numerous plants and bugs, most of which come straight from the Poison Jungle. The pouches are woven from long grass and fashioned from waterproof leaves[3].

Personality
Sundew was very aggressive and hot-blooded at first, but seemed to calm down as she grew closer to Blue, Swordtail, and Cricket. She appears to be very skilled in combat, 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, among other things.
She shows fierce animosity towards HiveWings due to what they did to her tribe, as well as SilkWings for submitting to Queen Wasp, calling them "subservient worms". She has said on multiple occasions that she wants all the HiveWings to suffer. However, she shows signs of having a better opinion of the tribe after her experiences with Luna, Swordtail, Cricket, Blue, and members of the Chrysalis. Sundew prefers not to do anything that would embarrass her in front of her tribe or her one true love (a LeafWing).
At the end of The Hive Queen, Sundew is shown displaying much kinder behavior. An example of this is when Blue sets the queen's greenhouse on fire, Sundew orders Swordtail to move the HiveWing guards away from the burning greenhouse so they wouldn't get hurt.
She seems to like dark colors and care about her appearance and what she is wearing, stating that she would rather wear a "midnight black or dark green" cloak when disguised.
Relationships
Although Sundew claims to hate all HiveWings, she seems okay with Cricket and has actually expressed friendly affection for her at various times. She has mentioned that Cricket is "different" from the other HiveWings, possibly due to her insatiable curiosity. Cricket's company also seems to relax Sundew, as she seems more friendly and open than she did in The Lost Continent.
Sundew dislikes Bumblebee, although she can't seem to stop the dragonet from clinging to her and messing with her, likely since she imprinted on Bumblebee due to being present at her hatching. It is possible the dragonet considers her, Blue, and Cricket her "parents".
Blue, like Cricket, believes that while Sundew may seem fierce on the outside, she really is sweet and kind on the inside. Sundew is constantly surprised by Blue, from his sister being a flamesilk to him standing up to Queen Wasp. She knows that Blue understands everyone (or at least tries to) and tries to hide her feelings from him that she believes are wimpy (for example, guilt and fear) to show that she is tough. Blue is her friend but tends to side with Cricket on many things, for example, like not setting all the Hives on fire.
Sundew considers Swordtail to be quite rash, yet has respect for him as of The Hive Queen. They tend to share the same destructive mindset and are similar in terms of personality. She understands his devotion to Luna, as she also has a lover.
Sundew mentions her several times, and it is conjectured that she might be a love interest.

Quotes
"We wouldn't. As if we'd tell you anything! Tree killers!" - To Blue
"To THINK about it? ARRRRRRRRRRRGH." - Her reaction to Blue's request to think about their plan.
"Of course you can, you ungrateful beetles! We're not lying, conniving HiveWings! We're LeafWings! We're honorable!" - Yelling at Swordtail after he says is not sure they can trust the LeafWings.
"Are you seriously making small talk with me right now?" - To Blue
"You're just like I always pictured SilkWings. Subservient worms." - To Blue after he shows her proper SilkWing posture.
"How many trees had to die to make this place?" - To Blue about the Temple of Clearsight.
"You seem surprised. I thought you were 'expecting' us. Didn't your precious Book tell you I'd be a LeafWing?" - Sundew mocking The Librarian.
"That may be, but I'm guessing that's because you've never been bitten by a bullet ant before." - To the Librarian about the pain Queen Wasp can suffer before she leaves a mind-controlled dragon.
"I don't have any more blow darts. Or enough bullet ants for everyone in the whole Hive, although that would be my kind of revenge."
"You sat around in a greenhouse and then followed me into a tunnel. I'm not sure you qualify for a statue in your honor just yet." - To Swordtail
"You sure took your time growing those flappers." - To Blue after he broke out of his cocoon.
"And to drive out the LeafWings. Queen Sequoia wouldn't agree to step down without seeing the Book first, which of course Wasp wouldn't allow. Our queen said if she'd seen it in Clearsight's own handwriting, she might have considered it. Which I think is insane in the first place. We don't need anyone else to be our queen!" - Talking about how Queen Wasp lied about the Book of Clearsight.
"He's alive. I found him like this on a rock in the bay. He's lucky I found him instead of a HiveWing, although I was pretty tempted to leave him there." - About Swordtail
"Want me to drop a mango on her?"
"No, you acorn. It's a metaphorical mango." - To Swordtail
"Also, it's a little bright. If I must wear something ridiculous, I'd prefer it in black or dark green or midnight blue if absolutely necessary." - About the cape she was given.
“Oh, good, you used up our resources and moved on to exploiting a different tribe.”—To Cricket about making books from silk instead of trees
"I perhaps should have mentioned this sooner, but I rather intensely dislike small dragonets." - To Cricket
"No. I'm just wondering where they are, that's all! I don't need them! Let's go kill some plants! Oof, no, I don't like the sound of that at all. Let's go destroy some HiveWing stuff! That's much better." - About her parents.
"Listen here. We are on a STEALTH HORTICULTURAL MISSION and you are going to be ABSOLUTELY SILENT until we are done, do you understand?" - To Bumblebee
"I feel like you're mocking me." - To Bumblebee
"I like the way you think. But they're centipedes, you dingbat." - To Swordtail
"Wil - my tribe would fall over laughing at me right now." - When she complains about her disguise
