Spider & Taffeta

Countess Velvet-Spider is an adult female HiveWing Royal that rules a hive. She was one of the least tyrannical Hive rulers when Pantala became a republic, allowing her to keep her spot, but she was incredibly reluctant to lose some of her power. She is currently the ruler of Spider Hive.
When she didn't want to lose her power as a royal, she was 'exiled' (would immediately be allowed back if she apologised and accepted that she'd lose some power) and she took shelter on the lower "wing" of the continent. There, she constructed her own fort, drafted dragons who also disagreed with the republic, naming them The Swarm, and was overall a little bit petty.
== Description==
Velvet-Spider has bright red scales with purple scales down her side and a blueish underbelly. Her legs have white and beige stripes and her face is the same beige. She is slightly below average size (though that could just be her age).
She's SUPPOSED to wear her glasses, but does she? No. she never wears her glasses. They're lovely glasses too, dainty golden framed ones, but she just never wears them. She also wears a golden locket necklace, but her claws are too dull to even open the locket.
==Personality==
Velvet-Spider is similar to villains of early 90's cartoons, with goofy and mostly harmless "evil plans." Despite being short-tempered and childish, she is very caring, albeit a little stupid, shown in how she treats The Swarm, especially Taffeta, but is oblivious to the fact her workers genuinely want to overthrow the republic. She's absolutely horrified when she sees what she's caused when The Swarm actually ends up hurting people.
==Biography==

|-|early life=
As a dragonet, Velvet-Spider was extremely sheltered. Like, she was a royal, yes, but this was EXTREME. She didn't even learn that LeafWings existed until the republicification. Velvet was, and still is, very childish and short-fused, tending to throw a tantrum whenever something didn't go her way. In rare cases, you can see her still doing this today. She was the daughter of Lady Bloodworm. 
Spider was taken in by Jewel while the hive was rebuilt after the burning, where she actually got exposed to proper SilkWing treatment and the existence of LeafWings. This would be important for when she becomes a hive ruler.
When Bloodworm hive was inhabitable again, Spider-Velvet went back and took the role of leadership at the ripe age of 5 YEARS OLD. Bloodworm Hive University was still in the stages of being rebuilt, but Spider-Velvet decided to make this hive different. She instead chose to make it a hive with everything. The top atrium floor became a large market, and the floor beneath became the Hex-Housing, and below that was the Spiderscouts central. This was in the middle of the republicification.<Br>
NOTE: HiveWing rulers never lost their rule in this case, instead being more closely monitored by Jewel and having less power as the SilkWing Assembly worked out what to do about the hives.
A few years later, Pantala officially began becoming a republic. The ministry that became the government was the Silkwing Assembly. The hives were more closely connected, and the rulers were evaluated. Some HiveWing rulers were given back their rule, being considered fit to run a hive. Other rulers were replaced with other dragons, including Silkwings and Leafwings. Spider-Velvet at first was fine with this, but was incredibly reluctant when she was told that she'd have to lose some of her power (as would all hive rulers) as the Pantala Republican Government would have the highest power.
Spider-Velvet, still being childish, immature and short-fused, strongly objected. Nobody was really hurt, but she was essentially put in the adult equivalent of time out. She was "exiled" from the kingdom while a member of the government held her spot in the hive. She would be allowed to reclaim her spot if she apologised, agreed and grew up a little.

In her exile, she fled to the southern "wing" of Pantala, where she built her own mini-hive and drafted people into her "army", which she called The Swarm. Most of the dragons were HiveWings that didn't like the republic, but there was one SilkWing with her; Taffeta. Taffeta was an orphaned SilkWing that was a Spiderscout, which Velvet-Spider essentially kidnapped to join The Swarm. She even had a uniform set out for her, but she wasn't expecting to have a spooky servant so small, so it was a bit baggy on Taffeta.
When Pyrrhian ambassadors came to restablish alliances with the new order, the Swarm attacked the Republic. Velvet-Spider was having fun with it at first.. until dragons.. actually were hurt over it. It didn't occur to her that the dragons she'd drafted would actually want to hurt people rather than just be harmless cartoony villains like her. Horrified by her actions, she ran and hid, leaving the 2 YEAR OLD TAFFETA ON HER OWN.
Her childish nature is probably due to being incredibly sheltered and coddled.

Velvet-Spider, when she was found again in the Poison Jungle by Pinkbloom (one of the Pyrrhian Ambassadors), was taken to the government for a trial. It was decided that, though she'd lead the rebellion, she was way too stupid to realise that her actions would hurt others. She apologised and was, with some reluctance, put back as ruler of Spider Hive. She now works to make up for everything she'd done, and god she is a good spiderscout leader. Taffeta returned to the Spider Hive with her, essentially being her little sister figure, and continued with being a Spiderscout. The Spiderscouts are no longer just SilkWings, being a group for any dragonets to join and have fun.

*She was originally going to be called Paper Wasp, but that name has gone to Officer Paper Wasp, who's based on DELTARUNE Undyne!
