Monarch (TLC)
- "But maybe she was wrong. Maybe I'm not a good queen. Maybe I've ruined the name forever."
- — Monarch about Diadem and her name, A Guide to the Dragon World
Monarch is an adult female SilkWing who was mentioned in The Lost Continent. She was the last queen of the SilkWings and ruled about fifty years prior to The Lost Continent, during the Tree Wars. She gave up her throne and allowed her tribe to be ruled by Queen Wasp and the HiveWings.

Monarch loves her tribe and would do anything to protect her dragons. She is conflicted,[1] yielding, optimistic,[2] and doubtful.[3] She is also generous and trusting. She got anxious and sad at the threat of violence and would try keep peace, even if it meant giving up her power as queen.[2] She cares more about her tribe than her safety and ability to live a free life.[4]
