Cleridae

== Introduction ==
Cleridae, or Cleri, as she like being called, is a Hive-Silk hybrid who lives on Pantala. She was formerly a member of the Chrysalis and fled to Pyrrhia with the leafwings and silkwings. Later, she returned to Pantala to live in the Leaf-Silk Kingdom.
== Description ==
Cleri had dull coral pink scales, with a row of neon pink scales above her bright yellow underscales. She has dark scarlet horns, antennae, spikes and claws, and her eyes are blood red. Her wings are pink and semi-transparent, and she has dark pink slash patterns along her scales. She has a pink sail on her tail, above her hidden stinger. She wears a golden band on her left talon that enables her to turn invisible by her will.
== Personality ==
Cleridae is quick-thinking and analytical, who's an adventurous thrill-seeker. She's people-oriented but wishes to be left alone sometimes. Cleri is dutiful, loyal to her friends, and a team-player when necessary. However, she is somewhat hesitant to tell others about what she's thinking and struggles to register her emotions. 
== History ==
=== Hatching and Adoption (1) ===
Cleridae hatched to an unknown pair of Pantalan dragons, one a silkwing and the other a Hivewing. Due to the two tribes' forbidden relationship, the two had to abandon Cleri's egg, but not before ensuring the egg to Agnathia, the silkwing's parent's friend. A couple of days later, both were executed by Lady Bloodworm due to being found out.
=== Early Life (1-5) ===
After hatching, Agnathia told Cleri that she wasn't her true mother. Despite the two not being related, Agnathia was still protective of her foster daughter and the two had a great relationship. Even though Cleri was frequently bullied because she's a hybrid, she generally enjoyed her life.
=== Chrysalis (5-7) ===
The day Cleridae turned five, she was wandering around the streets of Bloodworm Hive when she bumped into a Hivewing. It turned out that the Hivewing was Lady Bloodworm, known for her dislike for hybrids. Bloodworm nearly put Cleri to death for annoying her, but another silkwing distracted Bloodworm long enough for her to lose interest in Cleridae. Since then, Cleri has harbored a hatred for the Hivewing dictatorship. 
Agnathia accidentally had a slip of the tongue and told her that Lady Bloodworm killed her parents for being in a forbidden relationship, further igniting Cleri. She later learned that the silkwing who saved her was in the Chrysalis, and thus she joint as well. 
In the events of the Dangerous Gift, Cleridae escaped to Pyrrhia along with the other silkwings and Agnathia. She didn't know what happened, but after the Othermind was defeated, she returned to Pantala, happy that she could live a normal life.
== Powers ==
=== Acidic stinger, teeth and claws ===
Being half a Hivewing, Cleridae has a venom in her stinger, teeth and claws. 
=== Silk and Antennae ===
Being half a Silkwing, Cleridae has a pair of antennae and silk-spinning abilities. However, she didn't go through Metamorphis and was born with her wings and silk.
=== Band of Invisibility ===
Once, while exploring on the coasts of Pantala, Cleri found a claw-band. Unknown that it was animus-enchanted by a dragon from the Distant Kingdoms, she slipped it on. Only later did she accidentally discover and learn to use the abilities of her band: turning the wearer invisible and visible on will. She used her Band of Invisibility to conduct the escape from Lady Bloodworm.
== Relationships ==
=== Agnathia (positive) ===
Agnathia is Cleridae's foster mother. The two have a healthy relationship, and Agnathia supports her adoptive daughter's decision to join the Chrysalis. Like her foster daughter, Agnathia is also a "rebellious" silkwing. Agnathia knows and were probably friends with Cleri's parents, but she refuses to tell Cleri of her parents, for unknown reasons.
== Triva ==
* Cleridae was nearly put to death by Lady Bloodworm, who hated Hive-Silk hybrids.
