Lady Jewel is a female HiveWing and Queen Wasp's cousin[1] as well as the leader of Jewel Hive.

Appearance

Lady Jewel was described to be tall and angular by Cricket, and has bright golden scales that look "nearly green in low flamesilk light". She has thin lines of black scales outlining her "iridescent green eyes", dotting her cheekbones, and tracing the veins in her wings. She wears gold earrings shaped like beetles and a necklace of onyx stingers. Her claws are painted with "perfect lines of black and gold".

Personality

Lady Jewel is considered by Wasp to be "a harmless idiot" and often overlooked by her cousin. There is a joke about Jewel saying she is an illiterate dragon, but this is false, as she states in The Hive Queen. A prisoner also states that Lady Jewel can be fair, and describes her as the only leader of the Hives that can be trusted.

According to Cricket, Lady Jewel is fascinated with art[1]. She also has an art scene located at the Jewel Hive[1]. She is known to be the most relaxed with Hive security, and has the least orderly Hive. She also seems to be one of the kinder relatives, as Lady Scarab believes that she'll protect Cricket and Katydid from Queen Wasp[2]. She does not like Queen Wasp, and according to some of her servants (including Tau and Cinnabar), she gives them a medal when Wasp orders her to punish them severely. She helped Cricket escape from prison, and is unable to be mind controlled by Wasp, although it is unknown if it is merely because she doesn't see the need to or if she is actually immune to the plant. She ordered the library in Jewel Hive to be built and filled it with history books, hoping that some of the citizens of Jewel Hive would see through the HiveWings' lies.

Lady Scarab, her mother, often throws snide remarks at her. Jewel is often annoyed by this. Although Jewel supposedly has a reputation for being a "master torturer", but when she was younger, she was afraid of knives, and according to her mother fainted at the sight of blood, something that Scarab pokes fun at. It is unknown if she still has this fear.

Biography

The Hive Queen

Lady Jewel was mentioned a couple times before her first physical appearance, as the leader of Jewel Hive and cousin of Queen Wasp.

After she was captured by Queen Wasp, Cricket awakened in the Jewel Hive prison with Lady Jewel and her mother Scarab watching her. Jewel was understanding of Cricket's actions and consequences, and decided to help Cricket escape from her own prison.

Relationships

Lady Scarab

While Lady Scarab is Lady Jewel's mother, Jewel tends to find her annoying and unpredictable, not to mention that Scarab tends to drive Jewel to her wits' end quite often. In a mere conversation between them and Cricket, Lady Scarab's biting comments toward her daughter and Cricket irritate Lady Jewel to the point of losing her composure several times. However, Lady Scarab seems to truly care about Jewel, and gives her advice no matter what.

Queen Wasp

Despite sharing blood, Lady Jewel and Queen Wasp don't get along. Wasp thinks her cousin is weak and stupid. Lady Jewel despises Wasp in return for being too selfish and cruel.
