Belladonna
Template:Charbox Belladonna is an adult female LeafWing and Sundew's mother. She is one of the four known surviving LeafWings, the others being Sundew, her daughter, Hemlock, her mate, and a dragon named Willow. It was hinted in The Hive Queen that there were more LeafWings alive awaiting the time to emerge from the shadows. Sundew said the other plan involved war and war with four dragons is suicide. Blue notices that she acts like the leader of Sundew and Hemlock.
Appearance
Belladonna has lighter green scales with patches of brown[1], green eyes[2], and strange pale burn scars splattered across her talons and up her forearms. She is much taller than Sundew and has an air of authority about her, and she wears several small pouches, woven from long grass or fashioned from leaves[1].
Biography
While planning out how to invade Wasp Hive, Blue and his team get captured by three LeafWings: Sundew, Hemlock, and Belladonna. Belladonna forces Blue to tell her who they are, and what they are doing here. After Blue confesses, Belladonna introduces herself and her family to him. When Blue tells them that he and Swordtail are fugitives, although Cricket is somewhat innocent, Belladonna becomes intrigued and begins to trace out a plan. Blue also tells them that they where here to rescue Luna, his stolen Flamesilk sister, which makes all three LeafWings come up with a plan. Belladonna tells Blue that they know where the Flamesilk Factory is, and will rescue Luna if Blue and Cricket will help them steal the Book of Clearsight. Cricket refuses, and Belladonna rushes over and seizes her jaw, growling at her that she has no right to refuse after everything her tribe has done to the LeafWings. Then Belladonna, Hemlock, and Sundew pretend to rush off into the foliage, leaving Blue, Cricket, and Swordtail to decide weather or not to take their offer, although secretly the LeafWings hide in the nearby trees and eavesdrop on their conversation. Eventually, the decision is made, and Blue, Cricket, and Sundew head off to steal the Book.
Later, Sundew mentions that her parents are still mad at her for revealing the secret LeafWing tunnels, although it was already decided that the LeafWings couldn't use them.
Belladonna and Hemlock are frequently mentioned to be working with their LeafWing tribe on a secret LeafWing attack plan, which turns out to be The Bombing of Bloodworm Hive.
