Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
While talking with Blue, Danaid accidentally began a shouting fight with Fritillary and Pierid. Pierid complained that various things the other flamesilks brought up throughout the argument were not his fault, although eventually, Danaid managed to shut him up. Afterward, Danaid listed all the flamesilks kept in the flamesilk factory to Blue and described Pierid as untrustworthy.
Later, Blue visited all the flamesilks and noticed that Pierid seemed "desperately unhappy," which made him suspect that he did not like living in the flamesilk factory.
At another point in the book, Blue had a nightmare where Danaid, Fritillary, and Pierid screamed at each other through the winding halls of Cricket's school.
Pierid was seen later, shouting along with the nine other flamesilks in the giant screaming match Danaid caused to distract everyone from Blue and Luna's escape. Pierid wailed at the others that it was midnight and that they had to be quiet.
