bloodworm hive
Psyche was born in Bloodworm Hive, a decrepit structure built long before the tree wars. Lady Bloodworm's constant insistence for renovations left the Hive in the amorphous state of always half complete, pieces of it constantly torn apart only to be replaced by the same tired construction workers.
Their parents were both such workers, and thus often left them alone at home. They played idle games with themself hidden away in their bubblelike home, their voice growing ever louder as they tried to eat up the silence alone.
They often wandered into places they shouldn't out of boredom. They perched above construction sites and found their way through forgotten tunnels in the treestuff. When they were feeling adventurous, they would sneak through the brush until one of the swooping dragons above inevitably spotted them and they scampered off. 
Their first two years were spent navigating through infrastructure never designed to support a dragonet without wings. That would come later, when Lady Bloodworm grew bored with the idea of intricate structures suspended in midair.
They would never see that day.
Their father died suddenly, on a morning sullen with clouds. They remembered how the blood looked from above, a dark inkblot spreading too slowly into the treestuff, colors drained by the gray sky.
Their mother grew ill soon afterwards, bedridden within a week. She barely spoke to them before then and never after, but her sudden presence in the home forced Psyche to quiet their voice and hide away. The healers said she was dying of a broken heart. Psyche didn't understand.
However, they did understand the gravity of the situation.
Lady Bloodworm demanded that every SilkWing family offer up a dragon to work in construction. With one parent dead and the other close to it, they would be compelled to work—and that scared them.
On a night bright with moonlight, they crept past their sleeping mother and out of their home, navigating over the surrounding rubble until they found the silk strands extending from the edge of the Hive. The bridges were not safe. The infrastructure was still new and undeveloped, constantly torn down and rebuilt under Lady Bloodworm's volatile tastes. Still, they found steady ropes under their claws, and inched forth along the path.
By the time morning broke, they reached Mantis Hive, and spent the day dozing away in an alcove on the exterior of the Hive.

*pink and red silkwing. valentines vibes
*pink scales, red wings. everything is very cool toned
*dark red eyes
*kind of short tbh

father
Doesn't remember much about him at all, but Psyche remembers that they were fond of him once. They miss his presence.
mother
She was never around much, either. There's a passive nothingness they feel towards her, a void where perhaps something should be.
riodinidae
if it's too big, it scrolls, like this one
If Riodinidae has no fans then Psyche is dead.
palamedes
His death literally ruined them they're doing so /neg
ossarium
Employer of 5 years, Ossarium does not care about them and they don't care much for her either.
izula
They don't have enough energy to hate her as much as they want to. Thinking about her stirs up so many conflicting emotions that it's easier to... not.
sphex
eh xe's like... okay by hivewing standards. Not a particularly high bar.
hyaliodes
this guy kind of sucks :p
meli
they are so sorry again. they're so bad at keeping people alive. their bad
