Swordtail
Template:SpoilerTLC Template:Charbox Swordtail is a male SilkWing that appears in The Lost Continent. Luna hoped to be partnered with him in an artist's cell when she grew her wings. He works in a SilkWing construction crew under a dragon named Grasshopper (likely a HiveWing). He is said to be rebellious, always talking back to the HiveWings, which is what likely earned him his position on a construction crew. His sister is Io.
Appearance
Swordtail has dark blue scales with a small pattern of white triangles along his spine and snout[1], dark blue eyes[2], and deep blue wings[3]. He is dappled all over with orange splotches, as though someone had melted a sunset in a cauldron and flung it at his wings. He is often covered in dirt, with splinters of treestuff caught between his claws and tangled between his long, elegant horns[1].
Biography
Swordtail was mentioned in the first few chapters as a troublemaker. But he appeared at his girlfriend Luna's metamorphasis. When Luna had cocooned with her flamesilk and the guards started to get closer, Swordtail jumped down from the balcony to attack the Hivewing guards. He is then put in Misbehaver's Way where Cricket frees him with a green substance that gives him super strength, green eyes, and green silk.
Personality
Swordtail is known for causing trouble, as a dragon with wild ideas who talks a little too freely, and he's spent a lot of time on Misbehaver's Way before being assigned to a construction crew because of it. Blue worries that he might have been putting dangerous ideas in Luna's head, such as the SilkWings having a Queen of their own or the collapse of one of the towers being the fault of shoddy construction instead of LeafWing sabotage. Blue describes him as having 'impulsive courage', and despite his ideas, doesn't think he's a danger to the Hive.
