Description
LaceWing is a tall and slim SilkWing with pale mint-green scales, long, white horns and a white underbelly. Her coloration is a bit odd for a SilkWing and she is sometimes mistaken for a LeafWing, a detail that comes to be an advantage later. She is deceptively strong, despite looking skinny. Her four wings have a green-and-white pattern on the insides, ending with an emerald-colored teardrop, as well as darker green and white patterns lining her spine. She has two dark green stripes underneath her eyelids that hook under her chin. These offset the bags under her luminous, sea-green eyes slightly, but not enough that they aren’t noticeable. Her smile is said to be slightly disturbing, stretching a bit too far and showing a bit too many teeth. She has a few small scars scattered across her body from where her HiveWing family used to hit her.
'Personality
'Lacewing can seem distant and scatterbrained when talking to other dragons but tries to be polite to other SilkWings. She talks and hums to herself often and is very fidgety, always pacing or fiddling with something in her talons. Despite her quirks, she is a very quick thinker and prides herself on her pragmatism and ability to improvise. Her sharp mind has gotten her out of several sticky situations. Lacewing is a secretive loner with no close friends, but she keeps herself busy coming up with her own collections and projects. She especially loves collecting weapons and anything sharp and pointy. Although she tries to bury it in public, Lacewing has a terrible temper and a fierce anger toward all HiveWings and anything related to them. Hurting and killing them gives her immense pleasure and she does it whenever possible.
'History
Lacewing was a servant for a large HiveWing family in The Mantis Hive, doing the cooking and cleaning around their mansion. Her masters weren't very smart with money, becoming indebted by gambling and bad investments. Lacewing was the only servant they could afford. She was also in a desperate situation, having been fired by her previous employers after she ruined a nice painting of theirs by slashing out the eyes and throat. Lace ended up on Misbehaver’s Way and then moved in with her current family, promising herself that she would control her anger and never be fired again.
 The family was extremely abusive and cruel to her and treated her like a slave, but she had nowhere else to go. Lacewing was constantly paranoid and sleep-deprived, always looking over her shoulder for one of them to bully her.
Her greatest dream was to find the Chrysalis. It was her only hope of a better life and she fantasized them as mighty freedom warriors who would save her and all the other Silkwings. She set out and searched for months to track them down, but when she finally did, she found out that their methods were peaceful, if not useless. The group was disorganized and had only a few members and idolization of them came crashing down. This was the last straw, causing her to snap. With nothing left to lose, she returned to the heartless family and began collecting sharp things around the house, a kitchen fork here, a broken pot there.
Then one stormy night, Lacewing locked the doors to the family's mansion and picked them off one by one in their sleep, immobilizing them with silk and then brutally stabbing their cocoons until they stopped wriggling. She did not spare even the youngest of them in her killing spree and the noise of the storm drowned out any unwanted screams.
She hid the bodies in the cellar and took over the house, running their finances much better than they ever did and ordering food in their names. She kept running errands for them as if they were still alive and since the family didn’t have many friends, it didn't seem suspicious for a long time. Lacewing soon became unsatisfied with her vengeance and moved on to kidnapping and killing more HiveWings in the city, which caused more attention to fall upon her. Rumors of an insane, mint-green LeafWing murderer arose.
Eventually, Lacewing opened her doors one day to discover a garrison of Wasp-possessed troops. She was found out, but instead of turning herself in, she offered Wasp a deal. She would play along with the "insane LeafWing" ploy and strike terror into the citizens if Wasp turned a blind eye to the occasional murder. Wasp agreed to this plan and blamed every killing on LeafWing attacks, significantly boosting her popularity and the HiveWing’s hatred and paranoia of LeafWings. The rumors soon turned into legend. “The Razorwing” was a ghost story that haunted young HiveWing’s bedside stories, but Lacewing is indeed alive and well and will be at her game of revenge for a long, long time.
'Abilites/Weaknesses'
General: Lacewing is an abnormally strong producer of silk, putting out enough to cover a dragon in seconds. She also has an eye for design and can create beautiful tapestries. She is excellent at hiding and making her talonsteps and wingbeats as silent as possible, a skill she developed while living in fear of the HiveWing family. She can follow a dragon for miles without being noticed.
Mind: Lace has a very good memory and can visualize most of Mantis Hive and all of its hiding places in her head. She is similar to Qibli in the way she observes and analyzes dragons and places for later use. However, she is also prone to making irrational decisions in her anger and will throw aside her own needs in order to hurt others. Her social skills are poor and she is not good at forming friendships.
Fighting: If Lace does not have the element of surprise, a HiveWing that has been trained in combat would have the advantage. This is why she will only consider attacking a dragon if they are weaker or unsuspecting.
