Willow
- "A crocodile? A monitor lizard? Oh, a Gila monster! Those things are cranky I nearly got into a fight with one last two moons night, because I stepped on its tail, but I obviously didn't mean to! Hey, maybe it's the same one!"
- — Willow to Sundew in The Poison Jungle.
Template:CharboxWillow is a young female LeafWing who was initially introduced in the epilogue of The Hive Queen. She is Sundew's girlfriend and is currently located in the Poison Jungle.
Appearance
Willow has dark, deer-brown eyes and pale, forest green scales, with her wings and underside a paler green and a darker, dappled leaf pattern on her scales and underside like shadows of long oval leaves. According to Sundew, she has a perfect, “sparkly” face and river-deep eyes that smile.
Biography
Willow was briefly mentioned by Sundew, who wondered why she wanted to save the SilkWing tribe.
In chapter six, Sundew said: "Wil--my tribe will fall over laughing at me right now." The 'Wil' part that Sundew almost said was likely Willow.
In the epilogue, Willow was shown saving Tsunami and Turtle from a large snake when they first arrived at Pantala. She introduced herself and told the two that if they wanted to live, they should go back to where they came from.

Quotes
“I‘m Willow' [...] 'and if you want to live, you should turn around and go back there right now”
“Don’t move... And don't speak either.”
“A crocodile? A monitor lizard? Oh, a Gila monster! those things are cranky I nearly got into a fight with one last two moons night, because I stepped on its tail, but I obviously didn't mean to! Hey, maybe it's the same one!”
“You know they don’t! There’s a monster inside them. There’s a monster leading them. If you scatter your anger around like dandelion seeds, you’ll hurt everyone, tire yourself out, and end up with a bunch of indignant dandelions. But if you summon it all together and aim for the monsters, you‘ll win. I know you will. Because you’re Sundew, my forever dragon.”
Trivia
- Though the willow genus contains over 400 kinds of shrubs and trees, she is most likely named after the weeping willow tree. It is possible, however unlikely, that this is an example of literary irony and that she will or has gone through some kind of trauma.
- It is stated by Tsunami that Willow had an odd accent. As of right now, we do not know if it is only Willow and the LeafWings that speak with this accent, or if it is all the Pantala dragons. It is most likely unique to the LeafWings, as Tsunami has met a SilkWing and did not comment on her accent.
- It has been revealed that Willow is a pacifist. However, according to Tui, it is not welcome amongst her tribe.
- In the preview for The Poison Jungle, Sundew thinks about a carved jade frog that reminds her of the dragon she's "not supposed to think about." It is extremely likely that this was a gift from Willow, but the meaning behind it is currently unknown.
