Sequoia

"DO NOT TALK TO ME I AM CALMING DOWN."

— Sequoia to Hazel about the imminent HiveWing invasion in The Poison Jungle.

Template:Charbox Queen Sequoia is the queen of the LeafWings, and ruled about fifty years prior during and after the Tree Wars. She is depicted as dark green in a mural within the Mosaic Garden in Cicada Hive.

Appearance

She was shown to be dark green on a mural in the Mosaic Garden, but this may be false. She is enormous, has a long neck and a royal way she walks and tilts her head. She has a missing ear, a heavily scarred tail of claw marks, and one half-broken horn. She has also been described to have long claws.

Biography

The Lost Continent

While visiting the Mosaic Garden with Luna, Blue and his half-sister came across the Salvation Wall, which is a giant mural depicting the end of the Tree Wars. Blue noticed a dark green LeafWing who was supposed to resemble Queen Sequoia, and he wondered why she refused to accept Queen Wasp's rule like Queen Monarch did. Blue attempted to imagine himself as Sequoia, leading her tribe into a single-outcome war.

The Poison Jungle

In The Poison Jungle, Queen Sequoia is revealed to be alive. She was mentioned in one of Sundew's thoughts. "But Hawthorn and Sequoia did terrible things, too. The HiveWings would be right to want them to be punished . . . but they would be wrong to want the same for the whole LeafWing tribe. So maybe . . . Maybe I need to think about that, too. Hawthorn, Sequoia, and Wasp. I should be angry at them - I can be furious at them. I can fight Wasp without hating the entire HiveWing tribe. I can free the HiveWings and spare their lives without betraying my quest. Because Wasp is the real enemy: Wasp and her mind control."

Quotes

• "Hello, Belladonna's daughter, [...] Willow is correct that I need to know everything. I think it is high time you joined the real LeafWings." -To Sundew.
• "You have exactly your grandmother's stubborn expression. I saw it many times during the Tree Wars." -To Sundew.
• "She was my best general. [...] And my most loyal, until I finally gave her an order she couldn't follow: give up and run away. That's when she left me and started your group instead. [...] Come. We will be safer in the village." -To Sundew about her grandmother.
• "Hazel, [...] What have I told you about bookmaking at night?" -To Hazel.
• "You will ruin your eyes. [...] And then we'll either have to steal glasses from the HiveWings or have a blind queen, and I don't like either of those plans." -To Hazel
• "Hazel, [...] This is Sundew. Belladonna's daughter." -To Hazel.
• "Yes, of course, [...] Especially if it gets you off my throne, go on. Chairs are for old dragon bones, not bendy little saplings like you." -To Hazel when she asks to talk to Sundew and Willow.
• "Yes, she does, [...] It's good practice, and none of us know Belladonna's daughter as well as you apparently do, Willow."
• "I believe that is Belladonna's rule, [...] Isn't it? No fraternizing between PoisonWings and LeafWings?" -To Sundew.
• "It's a little bit of her business, [...] As both your mother and your commander. But I'm not actually remotely interested in you and Willow or how you met or why she's been sneaking out and staring wistfully at an empty pond for the last several nights. [...] I heard you say something about a book, a flamesilk, and a burned Hive. The full story. Now." -To Sundew.
• "I can't believe Belladonna did it, [...] After all our conversations! After everything I've said to her! Her mother was so loyal, but that viper--" -To Sundew.
• "DO NOT TALK TO ME I AM CALMING DOWN." -To Hazel.
• "NO I AM NOT, [...] SHUSH." -To Hazel.
• "I can STILL HEAR YOU. [...] I am TRYING to COUNT until I FEEL CALMER and less like MURDERING EVERYONE." -To Hazel.
