Hemlock
Template:Charbox Hemlock is a male LeafWing. He is Belladonna's mate and Sundew's father.
Appearance
Hemlock has deep green scales that are "dark enough to disappear into the shadows", like a NightWing. He wears a small white seashell on a thin black cord around his neck.[1] He has brown eyes and large, leaf-shaped wings.
Personality
While not much is known about his personality, Hemlock appears to be understanding. He is not as brash as Belladonna is, preferring to be a little more gentle. He is said to be terrible with words, which could be because of following orders most of his life.
Biography
Hemlock makes his appearance in The Lost Continent when he, Belladonna, and Sundew capture Blue, Cricket, and Swordtail while they are planning strategies to sneak into Wasp Hive. When Blue confesses they were there to rescue his sister Luna, Hemlock and the other two LeafWings come up with the idea to use them in their plan to steal the Book of Clearsight. Hemlock undid Blue, Swordtail, and Cricket's muzzles so they can discuss whether or not to accept the LeafWing's offer. After they decide to accept, Hemlock disguises Sundew so she can pass as a regular SilkWing to the guards in Wasp Hive. When Cricket came up with her plan to escape from the LeafWings, Swordtail didn't see and they never got a chance to tell him when departing to steal the Book since Hemlock was watching them like a hawk.
Later, Sundew mentions how Hemlock and Belladonna didn't approve of her revealing the old LeafWing tunnels to Blue, Cricket, and the others, even though the LeafWings had decided they couldn't use them anymore.
Hemlock and Belladonna give Blue, Cricket, Swordtail, and Sundew two days to find a passive way to stop Queen Wasp before they go with their aggressive plan to start a larger, new Tree Wars and try to kill all the HiveWings, except Cricket. However, he and the rest of the tribe go through with their attack plan, destroying Bloodworm Hive.
Hemlock appears in the prologue, talking about the Bombing of Bloodworm Hive with Pokeweed, Bryony and Grayling.
