== Appearance ==
== Personality ==
Louse is curious and friendly, trying to make friends with most dragons that she sees. She likes to see SilkWing's as equal to HiveWing's, mostly because she hasn't had the perfect life, so she tries to understand them instead of just stepping open them. 
But she does have a dark side, as most dragons do, and hers comes out when anyone is rude to someone else. If she sees a HiveWing bullying a little wingless SilkWing, she will not hesitate to fly over there and rip off the HiveWing's wings. 
She is kind of weird and jumpy to anyone who meets her, and isn't very good at talking with other dragons. She tries to cover up how awkward she is by making terrible jokes, and this usually just makes her look more awkward, so it's a big cycle of awkward. 
She gets jumpy and nervous whenever someone asks about her family or life and home and kind of goes crazy and gets all hysterical sometimes, she avoids the subject as much as possible. She likes being alone, especially in the library, or even in a park, but she does enjoy company as long as you aren't a jerk. She can be cold and irritably, especially if you keep pushing her to talk when she's in one of her silent moods, and will snap if you talk to her the wrong way, but she always has good intentions, even if she doesn't show it. 
== History ==
To go forward in Louse's backstory, we must first go back. Back two generations, back to her grandparents, who were definitely not normal.
Her grandfather, Flea, was a normal HiveWing living in Jewel Hive, like his family had been since the hives had been built. The Tree Wars had ended a few years ago, so he was still getting used to the whole "SilkWing lower class thing".
Did we also mention that he was a hopeless flirt. Every new girl he saw, he fell in love with. That's when he met Viceroy. He automatically fell in love with her, but not the silly, flirty love that he had with all the others, no this was a true, deep love.
But there was one problem. She was a SilkWing. And he was a HiveWing. But they didn't care. Love makes you do crazy things. They kept their love hidden from everyone, and when Viceroy discovered she was with an egg, they had to be even more careful.
So when he came out of his egg, they named him Phas, hid his antennae (his only sign of being a not-full-HiveWing) and lived in secret.
Then, when Phas was a young adult, he met Ladybird. Being raised by his parents, he fell in love with her, and two years later, they got married after discovering that they were with an egg.
Enter Louse. Well . . . not quite yet. Phas was so excited to have a dragonet. But he wasn't willing to pay the price that came with it. Ladybird sensed it the moment she felt the egg's pains.
She knew that she wasn't going to make it through. Her final words, before she died laying Louse's egg was "Protect her."
Then she died, leaving Phas alone with the egg. Now, we have to mention how much Phas loved his wife. He loved her with everything he had. He thought that they would be together forever.
But this egg, this unhatched dragonet had taken that away from him. In that moment, a fire lit in his soul, a fire that would never go out.
If it were up to him, he would have gone out and smashed Louse's egg on a rock somewhere. But Louse's grandparents saved her. They took the egg in, putting it safely into the hatchery, and nominated themselves as the young dragonet's parents.
When she hatched, they named her Ladybird, after her mother, and she had the happiest childhood that anyone could know. It was at a young age that Lady Jewel discovered her incredible brain.
She was already in all the AP classes in her school by the time she was two, and then when they moved her to the bigger, fancier, more advanced school higher in the hives, she accelerated in all the AP classes there. When she was four, Lady Jewel nominated Ladybird to her court.
But on her fifth birthday, a strange note came. It was from her father, and it said that as much as he would like to never see that forsaken dragonet again, it was time for her to pay him what she owed.
Ladybird didn't want to go. She had heard the story multiple times, but her father was threatening to ruin her life if she didn't. Little did she realize that if she did, he would ruin her life anyway. So she went.
Her father, once respected and enjoyed and invited to every party in Jewel Hive, had sank into despair. His wife had been the only thing keeping him afloat, and now that she was gone, he had sunk down into levels no dragon wants to be in. He fell into reckless "grief" drinking, using that to drown his sorrows, and alcohol and anger are two things that should never mix.
It can make a dragon dangerous. So the moment Ladybird stepped into his home, she was overwhelmed and scared. He hadn't seen her for years, he had almost begun to forgive and forget, but the moment he saw her, more kindling was added to the fire. That's why she wears the scarves around her neck. To hide the gaping wound that came from when he tried to slit her throat.
Once he had gotten that out of his system, he began to work her. She did all his cooking, all his cleaning. He pulled her out of school, demolishing what reputation she had brought up. He was going to pull her out of the court, but one night Louse (That's what he called her. Not only did he think that was too pretty a name for her, but it brought back painful) snuck out of the house, and begged Lady Jewel to let her stay. Jewel, being fair, agreed, though she was confused.
She asked why, but Louse didn't tell her. She was embarrassed of what was going on, and even though her father was horrible to her, he was still her father, so she tried to protect him from what might happen.
He continued to work her day and night. If she didn't do something fast enough, he would attack her. He would hurt her, beat her until he was convinced she had "learned her lesson".
But Louse never complained. She understood what she had done to her mother (Even if it wasn't her fault), and refused to show to her father that he was getting to her. She cleaned, she cooked, she did everything he asked, but even for someone as kind as her, she sometimes wondered if this was the best solution. Do his work and hide when he drank too much and got too angry. Wasn't there a way to mend fences with him? These were the things she worried about during her sleepless nights on the floor, and during her hard days.
She still managed to go to Jewel's court meetings every couple days, mostly during the night, and it was the only thing that kept her from completely losing her mind.
WIP
== Relationships ==
Ladybird - Louse feels horrible for being the one to kill her mother (Even though it really wasn't her fault!), but she thinks she's mourned enough, since her father reminds her about it every single day. Louse wishes that he mother was alive, even if that meant that she wouldn't exist.
Phas - Despite everything that her father does to her every day, Louse tries to love him. She tries to convince herself that he's doing this to her for a reason, that its not as much his fault that his wife died as it is hers, but even for her, someone as forgiving as Louse, its very hard.
== Trivia ==
