Moth (Twig)

== Appearance ==
Moth is a larger than average Hivewing with rosy brown scales. She has a bistre brown head, a darker muzzle, smoky black horns, and burnt sienna eyes. Moth has a large back marking that juts out into increasingly thicker stripes, which fades from brown into an old rose color. Her underbelly is a peach yellow that contrasts the rest of her body, and tips the edges of her feet. 
Moth’s front legs fade from bistre brown to smoky black, but her back legs are redwood pink with old rose feet. Finally, at the halfway point her tail begins to fade into a tangerine shade, and into a burnt sienna that matches her eyes. The same applies to her wings’ membrane as well.
== Personality ==
Moth is a rather bratty and spoiled Hivewing who doesn’t know how to solve her problems with anything but copious amounts of money. Moth loves Silkwings; but only in the way a collector loves beautiful paintings, and envies their vibrant color palette. She has an unhealthy amounts of Silkwing servants, whom she objectifies and decorates with various jewelry. Moth actually treats them rather well- just not as equals- and if she sees Hivewings mistreating their own Silkwing servants, she’ll often step in to yell at them. Not in a “hey you shouldn’t abuse people” kind of way, more like a “hey you shouldn’t ruin your own stuff” kind of way.
Surprisingly enough, Moth is very miserly and hates spending more than she needs to, but again- throwing money at her problems is the only way she’s ever known, so she does it anyway. Aside from that, Moth rarely splurges on anything other than Silkwing servants and adornments. Moth still lives with her mother Tick however, and she spoils Moth rotten for her. She’s never had to work a day in her life, and it’s clear she has favorites when it comes to her “possessions”.
== Story ==
=== Background ===
Moth was born into an exceedingly rich family in Jewel Hive. Her parents own a booming business that sell countless goods; her older mother Deathwatch is a hunter and butcher that sells various meats and hides, while her other mother Tick is a jeweler and tailor that sells various ornaments, clothing, and other such accessories. 
Moth took an interest in Tick’s baubles from a young age, and likely will continue on the business’s boutique side. Her parents spoiled Moth rotten- mainly Tick- which led to Moth’s inflated ego and demanding nature. While Deathwatch tried to instill a distrust and hatred towards Silkwings into Moth, it inevitably failed due to her weak relationship with her daughter and her infatuation with owning as many pretty things as possible, resulting in their relationship becoming even weaker, bound to snap like a frayed thread at any moment. 
=== Adolescence ===
Moth occupied herself with constantly visiting the Glitterbazaar, bringing her prettiest Silkwings servants and adorning them with her finest jewelry to parade around. She “collected” Silkwings with beautiful colors/patterns, and sometimes may try to offer on others’ servants if they’re pretty enough. Moth also made jewelry with her mother Tick sometimes, and she loved every minute of it- it’s a great bonding experience for the two of them- and Moth either put up the jewelry she made for sale, or equipped it onto one of her favorite servants instead. 
However, nothing lasts forever. 
After the events of The Flames of Hope, Moth’s entire life was flipped upside down. (Wip sorry more later) 
=== Young adulthood ===
wip, more later
== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
==== Deathwatch ====
Deathwatch is Moth’s slightly older mother. She’s a distant figure in Moth’s life, and so they barely have a bond. This isn’t helped by the fact that Deathwatch is uptight and controlling the few times they do interact, often trying to convince (Aka yelling at) Moth to get rid of her servants and insulting them, which spurs Moth to insult her older mother back, and they rarely agree on anything. They do not get along at all. Overall, they have a negative relationship.
==== Tick ====
Tick is Moth’s slightly younger mother. Tick does the majority of the raising, and treats her daughter like the queen of the world. Moth loves the way Tick pampers and dotes on her, and will do anything her mother asks of her- they are extraordinarily close, and a near-unbreakable bond, although Moth doesn’t get what Tick sees in her other mother, Deathwatch. Overall, they have a positive relationship.
=== Servants ===
==== Phoebis ====
Phoebis was Moth’s very first personal servant, given to Moth as a present for her 6th birthday. The two of them were both nervous about the arrangement- especially Phoebis, who had just gotten his wings- but eventually they warmed up to each other, finding that they weren’t so bad after all. Moth liked Phoebis‘s positivity and creativity, and Phoebis was relieved that Moth wasn’t an abusive mistress and treated him kindly. They grew close, being around the same age, although Phoebis was much more mature than Moth was. 
They have a sibling-like, nigh unbreakable bond, and Phoebis currently has the most luxurious living conditions of the throng of Silkwing servants- even living with Moth and Tick full-time. He’s treated the most like an actual dragon, although Moth still gets very possessive about him. Overall, they have a positive relationship.
