Admiral
- "See, this is why I'm glad you're here. It'll be nice to have someone new to talk to! Someone with a little perspective. Someone who knows how to look on the bright side. You do know how to look on the bright side, don't you?"
- — Admiral to Blue, after arguing with Fritillary
Template:Charbox Admiral is the father of Luna and Blue, as well as the former mate of Burnet and Silverspot. He is constantly trying to improve the flamesilk factory, writing streams of letters to Queen Wasp, one every seven days. He is very optimistic about being imprisoned, and thinks that working at the factory is a huge, important responsibility. He cares deeply about Luna and Blue.
Appearance
Admiral has shimmering blue green scales, a hue somewhere between Blue’s and Luna’s colors. His eyes are brown with a faint gold tinge to them, and he has darker purple streaks along his wings and matching spots of white on each one[1]. He is quite skinny[2].
Biography
Pre-Series
He grew up in Hornet Hive before undergoing Metamorphosis and emerging from his cocoon in the flamesilk factory. Later, he was sent out to have dragonets in the hope of creating more flamesilks before returning to the factory.
Blue thought about how Admiral was whisked off to another Hive before he could see his eggs, and how it was better that way because Burnet and Silverspot love each other more than they could ever love him. Later, when Blue is captured and imprisioned in the factory, Admiral tries to teach him and Luna not to associate with any of the flamesilks besides those Admiral is on speaking terms with. After Blue and Luna tell Admiral about their escape plan, hoping that he will want to escape with them, he refuses and tries to sabotage their escape by calling out to the guards. However, Danaid foils Admiral by starting up a shouting match involving all ten flamesilks, helping Blue and Luna escape through a tunnel and out onto a beach.
