basic
----
pinewhite is a young male silkwing servant who currently resides in the teste hive with his master trists and her husband horntail. he was born and went through his metamorphisis in the bloodworm hive before trists moved her shop to the teste hive. he is my entry for the english proverb based oc contest.
personality
----
being raised as a second-class servent under wasp's rule has made pine pasive and naive. he believes that the whole world is run by wasp and that she is all-powerful. everything that tris tells him is what he believes, because he never had anyone else to tell him otherwise. pine likes to keep himself busy, even if that means taking orders from a hivewing. he also craves aproval and is never rash, rude, disrepectful or ungrateful to his masters in fear of losing their favour and getting fired. though pine is quite smart, he can get turned around, which isn't the greatest now that he lives in horntail's large mansion with many corridors. he sees most hivewings as rude supressers, that take advantage of their silk, but he knows there are rude silkwings as well and that he must live the way it is. because of tris's kind nature, pine believes that the hivewings could be good, if they were given a chance. pine often finds himself wondering what life would be like if sequoia had handed over her tribe to wasp, he thinks their abilities could have helped gardeners grow food faster, assuming that said powers weren't simply myth. despite believing that wasp is all powerful, he thinks she was rash during the tree wars and that the leafwings were doing what the hivewings would have done if the roles had been reversed. like most dragons, pine worships their divine ansestor and wants to visit the temple of clearsight.
look
----
pinewhite is true to his name. his scales are a pine green with lots of white patches that make him look like he is covered in snow. the patches of white and green aren't even are look more like someone painted him and them smoothed the paint with a thick fluffy brush. like the butterfly for which he was named, he is monochrome, mostly sticking to the pale green-grey colour scheme.
past
----
pine was born in the bloodworm hive to his parents atlas and clearwing. his early life was hard under bloodworm's rule and she treated his family, and all other silkwings, like rotting dung. most of his early memories of his time in bloodworm hive were of hivewings looking down their snouts at him and his family. because of these harsh and unfair upbringings, he was considering joining the crysalis, which he found out through his mother, and rebelling. however, after his metamorphasis, he was assigned to the hivewing tristis, who insisted he called her tris, because that's what her friends call her. tris ran a small sweet shop in the bloodworm hive before being partnered with horntail, and had to relocate to the teste hive where he lived.
relations
----
parents:
positive
pine loves his family. he would do anything to make them happy and works his a** off to make sure they can have a good life in the bloodworm hive and sends them a portion on his income every so often.
tristis: 
positive
tris is someone that pine wants to please, she is his favourite hivewing and gives him hope that other hivewings can be good. he feels honoured to call her tris, which is a name all her friends call her, implying that she sees him as a friend. he finds something compelling in the way she talks to him and makes him walk beside him, like an equal rather than behind like any other hivewing would make their servent do. tris says that pine isn't her servent, but a helpful friend.
horntail:
positive/neutral
pine doesn't have the same relationship with horntail than he does with tris but he still does his best to please him. horntail is also compationate towards silkwings, though not as much as tris. whenever horntail is in need of something, he wont call pine to do it for him, unless he needs assistance. he thinks relying on another dragon entierly will make a dragon lazy. pine is sometimes jealous of horntail's relationship with tris but is happy that he makes her happy.
bloodworm: 
negative 
bloodworm is the only dragon who pine can 100% say he hates. she's rude to all silkwings and that is why there are so many memebers of the chrysalis. whenever pine is in her presents, he bows as shallowly as possible and tries to be her 'ideal citizen'. if the topic of the hive ruler comes up pine uses visible effort not to make a disgusted face.
