Appearance
Locust is a rather odd looking HiveWing, by most standards. He is a forest-jade green colour for his normal scales and a soft almost lime green for his underbelly. His horns and "head" are incredibly dark green and are almost black at first glance. Locust's wings are a very white-green with black spots and smears all over them. He is quite short for a HiveWing, only slightly taller than the average SilkWing. He always seems to have a look of kindness on him and whenever he goes outside he's usually seen with his black and green purse handbag. If he's going to a boring meeting he puts on a emerald green or obsidian black ring.
Personality
Locust is a kind-hearted HiveWing who sees the best in dragons, though even if they aren't good dragons at first. He secretly enjoys causing trouble and mischief, despite being a bit of a workaholic in the day. He's a firm believer in SilkWings and HiveWings being equal, mainly because he used to view SilkWings as weak and was tired of them being pushed around. He also didn't like seeing SilkWings who were clearly unhappy with their owners, but wanted to show them that maybe they're owners are okay dragons. He made it his life's goal so that if he ever got a SilkWing himself, he'd treat them with utmost respect and hopefully they'd do the same to him. He's cowardly though, as whenever he would get in trouble the SilkWings would be blamed for "tainting him with their horrible thoughts" and he'd get off scot free while they went to Misbehaviors Way. When him and Radiant left Pantala he almost instantly began to do things that he wasn't normally allowed to do because of his high status, such as snag a piece of bread behind a vendor's back.
History
Locust was hatched and spent his first year of living in Tsetse Hive, or otherwise known as the home of the HiveWings that couldn't be controlled due to them being hatched before Wasp got her powers. He was put at a high position since the day he was hatched, mainly because he was the dragonet of two of the most wealthy HiveWings in all of Pantala next to royalty themselves. Why were these HiveWings so rich? Well, when the peace deal between SilkWings and HiveWings was created during the Tree Wars, these two green HiveWings (Duke Cosmophasis and Duchess Paralyze) stepped in to capitalize on it. They never really found SilkWings to be as great as the HiveWings, due to them not having as much of Clearsight's blood in them. So, they proposed an idea to Wasp. An idea of a world where HiveWings ruled over SilkWings, who couldn't due anything due to them being weak in combat and HiveWings being more superior in strength. Wasp enjoyed the idea and funded their business, in which they would take SilkWings from other Hives and deliver them to HiveWings who desired one. After many years of this, both of Locust's parent's expanded their business across all of the Hives and use Hornet Hive, the one with the biggest mail post, as a home base before going to Tsetse Hive to try and settle down. The reason they had Locust was to try and continue the family business once both were gone and no other reason. Paralyze rarely ever spoke to Locust, though Cosmophasis did try to connect with Locust. They wanted to keep the family business a secret from Locust as long as possible, due to him slowly becoming more attached to his SilkWing peers. If they told him, he would most likely refuse.
Remember how I said Locust had SilkWing peers? Well, those were servants to Paralyze And Cosomophasis who would tell stories about their lives and how silk worked. Both of Locust's parents were concerned that they'd rub off on Locust, so once he turned one year old he was sent to a boarding school in Mantis Hive. Mantis Hive was known for housing some of the best schools and universities in all of Pantala, to which Locust wasn't really excited for. Even at a hatchling he hated the idea of sitting still and learning nothing for hours. Though, he still was loyal to Wasp and the only time he really spoke in class was when they would do the weekly salute to her. Locust became friends with a few HiveWings, though they slowly drifted apart over the years and Locust hasn't been in touch with them in ages. He was always kind of talked behind his back for his scales, but never bullied to his face due to his parents being well-respected HiveWings. Though, there was a incident where a guard mistook him for a LeafWing and attacked him, hurting him and nearly breaking his tail. He's always has been slightly self-conscious of his scales since then, slightly paranoid about everybody secretly laughing about him. He was beginning to think that he was secretly a experiment, a LeafWing that looked like a HiveWing. This is untrue, as his family is pure HiveWing, however they have a small BeetleWing gene that made them green.
After three years of school, Locust was told he'd be now working in Hornet Hive. He was confused and wondered why his parents were sending him to a different Hive when he was supposed to go home, but never outright questioned his parents due to him being slightly scared of them. He accepted and was transferred to Hornet Hive, where he was then placed in a extremely large house with two floors and two bedrooms, despite never really using the other one. It also came with a "SilkWing bedroom" which was just a tiny little closet, which obviously Locust hated. He used the closet as more of a closet and kept the spare bedroom clean in case anybody decided to visit, which nobody did. For most of his years spent in Hornet Hive, he was just signing papers since he was technically now a part of the family business. However, these papers were heavily redacted and had most of the info about what they were about taken out of them. 
Unfortunately, as the years went on he was getting lonely. It was quiet in the house, a bit too quiet if Locust was honest. He wanted to have some company, somebody to talk to. Sure he could go out of his house, but he didn't really want to go to like a bar or restaurant to fish for friends. Then, in a moment that he considered to be purely selfish, he had an idea. He would try to get a SilkWing, but this time he wanted to select one. It was taboo and only for the richest HiveWings to reserve a SilkWing as they were normally distributed randomly, but being a high noble helped him in his chances. He ended up deciding on a SilkWing in Wasp Hive that not even her original HiveWing wanted. Locust heard the reports of this SilkWing being a troublemaker who would probably kill you in your sleep, but he didn't believe it to be true. After all, even if it was he would find some enjoyment out of the SilkWing. He mostly chose this one because, well, he wanted to be her friend. He was lonely and he was sure she was as well. He filled out the papers and sent it towards Wasp Academy, then waited the months for the SilkWing to come.
When the SilkWing arrived, she was less than willing to adjust to her new home, just like how he expected. Locust tried his very best to make her happy and like him, but in turn it just made him more burned out. He did like Radiant, but wasn't sure if she liked him. It was a while after Radiant arrived when Locust's constant pestering finally got him something, though it wasn't what he expected. He learned about the true family business and decided to quit because he couldn't work or even think of his parents like that again.. After the Burning Of Bloodworm Hive, Locust became more on edge and would try to protect Radiant in case something happened. Radiant obviously wasn't a fan, but she didn't exactly object.
Then, one morning Locust woke up to see Radiant was absolutely livid. This would have been normal weeks ago, but this time Radiant seemed more angry than normal. Radiant explained how she discovered Locust's family business and a fight breaks out, resulting in Radiant leaving. Locust, after calming down from yelling at Radiant, felt guilt and was about to head out to find her before he could feel Wasp trying to take control. He had barely enough time to scratch down a letter in case Radiant came back before he was fully taken over.
Locust, now as a drone, was sent to Wasp Hive. Locust was forced to patrol, force SilkWings into chambers where gas would be released and force them under Wasp's control, and make weaponry. While this all happened, Locust was still conscious. At times it felt like he was nothing more than a spirit floating beside his own body, being a simple observer who was forced to watch his own body do heinous acts.
