Danaid (Laurel Willow's expansion)

== Appearance ==
Bright, shiny orange scales, so bright she almost looks like a HiveWing except for flecks of white along her spine and streaks of white on her wings. 
== Personality ==
Danaid is outwardly friendly and curious, considered a dragon worth knowing by Blue, and intelligent, catching on very quickly when Admiral tried to call the guards on Blue and Luna. She has a very bad relationship with virtually all of the other flamesilks in the cavern, which is mutual for most of them. 
== Relationships ==
=== Blue and Luna ===
"We haven't had visitors in so long..."Danaid has a positive relationship with Blue and Luna, enjoying their company at the very least. When Admiral calls the guards on them, she quickly started a shouting match with him and the other eight flamesilks to create a distraction, allowing them to escape. 
=== Admiral ===
"[The guards] don't want to hear your thoughts on potassium at this hour! Or ever!"Danaid and Admiral mutually hate each other from being trapped in the flamesilk cavern for years. She does not understand why he tried to turn his dragonets in to the guards, even if he thought it was the right thing to do, which she believes it wasn't. She also enjoys shouting him down when she can, although he wins a lot of their arguments. However, she is always hoping that she'll win the next one. 
=== Pierid ===
"I said no! Go find a different dragon to be annoying at every moment of the day!" Danaid took Pierid under her wing when he was new to the factory. However, she quickly grew annoyed at him as he started to hate their surroundings, leading to him hating the other flamesilks and finally her. As his personality got worse and worse, she decided to cast him out to fend for himself in the factory. She cut her ties with him and they now have a mutual hate- Pierid hates Danaid for casting him away to find his own way, and Danaid hates Pierid for becoming so annoying that she had to. 
=== Fritillary ===
"He hates everything in here. That includes us." Danaid has been in the flamesilk cavern longer than anyone else there, including Fritillary. She watched as he started out all right, but quickly grew to hate his surroundings, including her and the other flamesilks. She thinks that if they were out in the world, he would have been very different, possibly even willing to work with others or even maybe being friends with her, although she finds it hard to imagine as he appears to hate her and she hates him back, their arguments debates devolving into a chaotic mess of insults. 
== Backstory ==
Danaid was hatched before the Tree Wars, and lived with her parents on the edge of Lake Scorpion, in peace. However, when Queen Wasp took over, her parents didn't believe it was right for her to take Queen Monarch's throne. They resisted, and were attacked by several HiveWing soldiers when Danaid was still wingless. 
They offered to make a deal with the HiveWings: if the two of them were left alone, they would let Danaid live in the Hives like any other SilkWing submitting to Wasp's rule. However, the soldiers did not accept, instead fighting Danaid's family. When the scene cleared, her mother was dead, and her father was at the mercy of the HiveWings. She still tried to resist, but when they threatened to kill her father, she had no choice but to come with them. 
Danaid and her father lived in Tsetse Hive while she was still wingless; she underwent Metamorphosis in the Cocoon, where it was discovered she was a flamesilk. She moved and lived a fairly normal life in Vinegaroon Hive for another two years, until Wasp decided to capture all the flamesilks and imprison them in the cavern, including her. She was only eight years old when she was thrown into the dark cavern with a handful of other dragons, forced to give all her silk to the queen. Needless to say, she hated the job, and she looked for an escape route for years. But she never found one, and grew more and more hopeless, remembering the day her mother died. She eventually convinced herself that it couldn't be done, but she was never happy with the decision. Fifty years later, a new spirit of rebellion has arisen in her, and she's considering escaping again, especially after watching Blue and Luna leave the cavern in the midst of an argument she caused.
