WebWorm

== General ==
WebWorm is a male SilkWing who appears briefly without name in the epilogue of Icebreaker and later as the protagonist in The Flashing Lights. He is roughly 27 (Dragon years) or 40 (Human Years). He is one of the few SilkWings who decided to stay within the Hives. 
== Occupation ==
WebWorm appears in the epilogue of Icebreaker as one of Cadet’s coworkers at the Cicada Hive College. He works as a professor in botany, although he states multiple times that he hates teaching and would much rather study the plants himself. Towards the middle of The Flashing Lights, he quits his job and decides to go find a new employer in Phyrria. 
== Appearance ==
His scales are primarily green, with orange along his spine and flecks of yellow in various places. He has a singular, darker green band in the middle of his neck, extending around his throat and ending in the same spot on the other side. He wears grey glasses (not pictured) and a golden wristband, but is occasionally seen wearing a scarf or something similar. His left wings have scars on them, but it is unknown specifically where he got them from.
== Personality ==
WebWorm is a typically cheery dragon, as shown by Cadet’s brief complaining about him during the prologue of his book. She states that he is “Overbearing, overwhelming, and incapable of being anything but annoying.” Despite this, Webworm is shown multiple times throughout his thoughts to have a positive view of Cadet. It is unknown if this is just because he is unaware or rather because he simply doesn’t care. He is shown multiple times, however, to have a much darker side that most dragons don’t see. He states later on, to Puffin, that “I would impale you on a stake and leave your body to freeze over if I had the chance.” His attitude completely disappears and fades back into his normal, cheery demeanor, however, and never appears again. It is unclear if this is a one-off occurrence or if this happens often.
== Relationships ==
==== Queen Skimmer ====
WebWorm exchanges letters with Skimmer in the prologue of The Flashing Lights suggesting that he leave his position and travel the continent studying plants, although she does not share the same enthusiasm as him. Later in the prologue, they have a meeting where she tells him that he is not to leave the hive unless he wants to face the death penalty. Despite this, he still holds her in high regards during the rest of the arc. 
==== Puffin ====
WebWorm is generally tolerant of Puffin, but he doesn’t seem to like her as much as most dragons. She oftentimes threatens him as they travel, and she seems to have little to no regret when they part ways. In Icebreaker, she is shown to think of him as a parasite.
