Sundew
Template:SpoilerTHQTemplate:QuoteBox Template:Charbox Sundew is a female LeafWing and one of the four known LeafWings left alive, along with her mother Belladonna, her father Hemlock, and 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 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, woven from long grass and fashioned from leaves[3].
Biography
Sundew appeared later in the book, asking for her mother's permission 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 willingly accompanied Blue and Cricket to the Temple of Clearsight, to help them steal the Book of Clearsight. She used flower dye and wing shaped leaves to disguise herself as a SilkWing, though the disguise was imperfect. In the Temple of Clearsight, she paralyzed several HiveWing guards from a distance with blow-darts and also defaces a carving of Queen Wasp, and as described in the book, "raked her claws across the queen's elegant snout." 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 rapidly growing a plant 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 leapt 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.
Sundew first appears when Cricket hears the sounds of another dragon in the caves where she and Blue are hiding. Cricket is terrified that the dragon could be another HiveWing, or worse, a mind-controlled one, but it turns out to be Sundew. Cricket is immensely relieved and asks Sundew what happened and what she did to the HiveWings, to which she responds that she led them "all the way to Lake Scorpion" before losing them and taking the long way back to the caves. Sundew also says that she didn't find Luna, but she did find Swordtail, and drags his unconscious, soaking wet body into the cavern. She explains that she found him on a rock in the bay, and that she guesses Luna was blown out to sea and Swordtail tried to follow her, but the winds "chucked him into a boulder instead". Sundew says that she has a one true love, too, and that she understands, but ignores Cricket's questions as to who and continues that Swordtail did leave her fighting two HiveWings alone. Cricket comments that Swordtail probably thought Sundew could fight nine times that many HiveWings and be okay, to which Sundew looks slightly mollified. More flying in soon...

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". 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 experience with Luna, Swordtail, Cricket and Blue.
