Moss (L1quid)

Moss is a female HiveWing and is L1quid's main dragonsona.
==Description==
Moss has dark green scales and orange eyes. She is typically seen wearing a light blue cello necklace. Sometimes, she wears a pink hood and a dark blue cape; the hood and cape act like a dragon-esque hoodie.
==Personality==
Moss is socially awkward, because she doesn't understand why normal dragons do what they do. She typically avoids crowds because they suck her into sensory overload ("sensory hell"). She is very friendly towards those dragons that become her friends and believes that most dragons cannot be trusted. (No, she does not have the form of schizophrenia where she believes everyone is out to get her. She thinks that most dragons have varying intentions that can break trust.)
==Species Adaptations==
Moss has stingers in her wrists, which she can use to defend herself.
==History==
===Past===
Moss hatched in 4,993 AS to Tree and Cerci in Jewel Hive, located on Pantala.

===Present===
====The Lost Continent Prophecy====
=====The Lost Continent=====
Moss was not seen in Wings of Fire: The Lost Continent (2018). 
During this time, she identified as "non-binary" and used "she/they" (feminine and gender-neutral) pronouns.
=====The Hive Queen=====
Moss went to bed early the night that Cricket attempted to talk to Scarab about the Hive Mind and her (Cricket's) parentage. However, she was suddenly woken up in her bed by Wasp's mind-control when Scarab refused to hand Katydid over. When Katydid willingly gave herself to Wasp, Wasp's control left Moss' mind, and Moss staggered over to the toilet in her house's bathroom and vomited in it (as the Hive Mind is disorienting to her). Moss was not part of the HiveWing army sent to save Bloodworm Hive from the Chrysalis/PoisonWing bombing on the city.
=====The Poison Jungle=====
Moss was one of the many HiveWings part of Wasp's army that exterminated the remaining LeafWings on Pantala (not including the refugees) and burned down the Poison Jungle at the end of the novel.
=====The Dangerous Gift=====
After orienting herself in the aftermath of the Burning of the Poison Jungle (disconnecting from the Hive Mind and seeing the Poison Jungle burned to the ground), Moss was involved in the evacuation of Jewel Hive to Lake Scorpion when the Othermind Crisis began to escalate quickly. She was not taken over by the Hive Mind during this time.
=====The Land Across=====
Moss was one of the HiveWing soldiers when Wasp took over the Dragon Planet. Moss vomited at the end of the novel, after being disconnected from the Hive Mind and seeing authoritarianism taking over the Dragon Planet.
=====The Flames of Hope=====
Moss was released from the Othermind - the minds of Cottonmouth and Lizard's skeletons connected to the Breath of Evil - at the end of the novel. She vomited from Hive Mind-induced nausea for the last time in her life at the end of the novel.
Moss was one of the dragons that opposed locking Wasp up in prison, as Wasp was an authoritarian that needed to be executed.
Moss' family and the majority of the HiveWings decided to stay in the still-standing Hives, as opposed to moving to the newly-formed LeafSilk Kingdom, at the end of the novel.
She also shed her "non-binary" identity after realizing that it wouldn't work for her in the long run.
It is mentioned in the novel that all dragons are descended from a proto-dragon, which is strikingly similar to the (genetic) relationship between fire lizards and dragons in Dragonriders of Pern.
==Relationships==
===Bush===
Bush is Tree's sister, Moss's aunt, Gentle mate, and the mother of Mole and Wood. She is religious and is also Mole and Wood's homework helper/mentor alongside Cave.
===Cave===
Cave is Tree and Bush's mother and Moss, Mole, and Wood's grandmother. She loves her family albeit a pessimist. She lives with her daughter Bush and her grandchildren Mole and Wood in Vinegaroon Hive. She is also Mole and Wood's homework helper/mentor alongside Bush.
===Cerci===
Cerci is Moss's father. He is religious albeit he studies cell culture and is a microbiologist at the college Moss attends.
===Extended Family===
Moss has extended family that majorly live in Yellowjacket Hive. She and her family used to visit them around Pantala Independence Day (a commemoration of the Tree Wars). 
===Gentle===
Gentle is Bush's mate and Moss's uncle. He has brothers and is distant from them. Gentle is a property developer and moved all over Pantala before settling down in Vinegaroon Hive. He met his fate when he suddenly drowned in Beetle Lake while inspecting a new HiveWing neighborhood outside Vinegaroon Hive (the authorities blame it on the LeafWings because the LeafWings are blamed for everything outside Hive control).
===Knotted Leaves===
Knotted Leaves is an old friend of Moss. They met while Moss was in school and Knotted Leaves was on a PoisonWing mission to find the Hives' weaknesses. They quickly became friends, but parted ways when Knotted Leaves was called back into the Poison Jungle and Moss was advancing in school. Now, they have reunited after years and they try to talk to each other to reestablish their friendship. However, since the two have formed their own paths, Moss rarely speaks to Knotted Leaves.
===Lily===
If she wanted to have dragonets in the future and if nobody fell in love with her, Moss would adopt Lily, a female RainWing dragonet, to raise as her daughter.
===Mandible===
Mandible is Cerci's mother and Moss's grandmother. She does not understand her granddaughter, but loves her and likes to have fun with her when Moss visits her in Yellowjacket Hive.
===Mole===
Mole is the son of Bush and Gentle and Wood's brother. He hatched in Hornet Hive and is extremely hyperactive and might be on the autism spectrum like his cousin, although has been tested and doesn't fit the "requirements" for it. He spends his time in school or playing video games with his sister. He loves his family and after his father passed and Queen Wasp failed them in the justice system, he became protective of his mother and grandmother.
===Ocelli===
Moss despises Ocelli, her ex-boyfriend, after he admitted he cheated on her with someone else (he is also autistic). He was her first boyfriend and is the reason why Moss was turned off on dating. (She dated once, and has never dated again.)
===Sir Beetle===
"Sir Beetle" (real name: unknown) is a male human and Moss' pet, who originated from the Abyss.
===Tree===
Tree is Moss's mother. She is religious albeit a former scientist and a stay-at-home mom.
===Wood===
Wood is the daughter of Bush and Gentle and Mole's sister. She hatched in Mantis Hive and is extremely smart and active, although she spends her time in school or playing video games with her brother. She loves her family and after her father passed and Queen Wasp failed them in the justice system, she became protective of her mother and grandmother.
==Trivia==
*"Moss" refers to moss bugs.Moss bugs - Wikipedia
*Moss replaces Grey the IceWing as L1quid's dragonsona.
*Like her creator, Moss is autistic, has ADHD (self-diagnosed), and has anxiety.
*After reading The Hive Queen, L1quid wanted to put all of her Pantalan OCs in Jewel Hive; they can't do that as they all have diverse/different backgrounds.
*Moss' blue cello necklace was based on L1quid's blue cello necklace they got from a Piano Guys concert in December 2018.
*L1quid intentionally made Moss' design basic/simple, yet characteristic of Jewel Hive dragons in the Wings of Fire universe.
*Moss' old LeafWing friend is based off of an old friend of L1quid's in reality.
*L1quid gave Moss a "hoodie" because they love their hoodies and "dragon hoodies" have only been seen in Wings of Fire a few times.
*Moss' dark green scales were inspired by Treehopper, a male HiveWing who made his debut in Wings of Fire: The Hive Queen (2018).
*Moss, like the majority of HiveWings, can controlled by Queen Wasp. However, Moss feels very disoriented after Wasp possesses her (through mind control).
**Moss was intentionally given the characteristic of "vomiting after being disconnected from the Hive Mind" to give a sense of realism to her character.
*Like her creator, Moss like SeaWing ("Asian") food. 
**If the dragons of Wings of Fire had cultures based on human cultures, the SeaWings' culture and cuisine would be based on Southeast Asia and Japanese culture and cuisine (due to Southeast Asia and Japan's geographic location(s) on Earth and the types of food present in each country/culture).
*Moss' pet human - "Sir Beetle" - is loosely based off of the two cats L1quid had owned throughout their life.
*Like all HiveWings, Moss's family are named after insects. However their names were deliberately chosen to resemble L1quid's real family. Moss's mother and aunt are named after cricket species, since they are sisters; Moss's cousins are named after cricket species, since they are siblings; Gentle is named after the larvae of blowflies,Blowflies - Wikipedia which are used as fishing bait; Cerci is named after the plural form of cercus; Cercus - Wikipedia Cave is named after a species of cricket, since she is Tree and Bush's mother; Mandible is named after an appendage on insects, since she is Cerci's mother; Ocelli are simple eyes in insects,Ocelli - Wikipedia and is also references how society sees disabled people (by the way of the media) - "simple".
*L1quid has a secondary dragonsona (Forest Mist) in case anything happens to Moss's page or if they don't like Moss anymore. L1quid has a third sona (Tide) for the show The Dragon Prince in case anything happens to their other sona's information physically (on paper) or electronically (Wikia, Google Docs, Microsoft Word). They did this based off the popular quote in the film prop industry "If you have one, you have none" (referring the number of props used for a film based on their role in the film).
