Blue

Blue is a male SilkWing and appeared in *The Lost Hope*. He is a flamesilk, and used to have romantic feelings for Cricket. He can be currently located in the Flamesilk factory

## Appearance

Blue has azure, dull, gemlike scales that looked like if someone had covered a sapphire in dust, purple scales on his back, quiet lavender scales on his arms, azure talons, and a purple snout. His body is covered with purple and aquamarine, like buried jewels, and his wings are a washed out purple and blue, like crystals and amethysts tumbled together. Before his wings fully developed, his wingbuds were small and tightly curled, and an iridescent violet color, a brighter, more purple shade than the rest of his scales. He is fairly small, and he and his biological parents' initials are carved into his right palm, forming a triangle. Cricket considers him to be quite beautiful.

## Personality

He disliked arguing with other dragons, and is sensible, indecisive, quiet, and obedient. He also used to often feels anxious, and believes that he is not dangerous. When he was attacked by a young HiveWing under the control of Queen Wasp, his first instinct was to break free without hurting the dragonet, and he could not begin to imagine stabbing another dragon on purpose. He believes that he is a good dragon, and is tentative, and loyal. He believes that stealing is wrong, and he cares about all dragons, even those he has never spoken to. He dislikes lying, breaking promises,, dragons being angry at him, and being yelled at.

Now he is sort of grumpy, sometimes agreeable, and half of the time friendly to dragons. After being locked up in the Flamesilk factory for twenty one years, he has lost all his romantic feelings for Cricket, and believes that if he falls in love again, he will just loose that dragon like he lost Cricket.

## Relationships

### Cricket

When Blue initially met Cricket, one of the first things he noticed was how she was willing to talk to him, a SilkWing, as though they could be friends, and she looked at him as if he were a real dragon, and not a wingless curiosity or an annoyance to be stepped over. She took a large risk for Blue by using dangerous flamesilk to burn off his wrist cuff, and Blue vowed to do everything he could to keep her out of trouble for helping him. Blue lets her smile chase away his nerves, and felt a small glow of happiness when he thought of he and Cricket leaving Cicada Hive together. When Blue asked why she was so willing to help him, she replied that she found him interesting, and would love to know more about him, and knew how it felt to have to hide when everyone else was under the control of Queen Wasp. Cricket makes him feel safe, and Blue would go with her anywhere she asked. He wants her to be safe. Cricket stated that she would want Blue to be her best friend even if she knew every dragon in Pantala, and Blue realized quickly that he was in love with her.

### Luna

Luna is Blue's half-sister, and the two of them were very close. Blue often teased and joked around with Luna, and he believed that arguing with her will get him nowhere. When Luna finished her Metamorphosis, Blue cried tears of joy because he had missed her so much. Luna is affectionate towards him, and had always been able to read him since they were very young. Her enthusiastic personality causes her to do reckless things, and her rebellious nature would often worry Blue. His love for his sister wasn't expressed verbally, but he indicated it many times as he tried to protect her from her own words.

### Cloud

Cloud thinks that Blue should continue fighting for his freedom, but he says that will get him nowhere.
