## History

Princess Wasp was born to Cochineal and Stagbeetle, the king and queen of the HiveWing Dragon-Elves, a race of elves native to Pantala, a continent located near to Xadia, who, like the rest of their Dragon-Elf kin, were capable of turning into Dragons, in Wasp tribe's case, a race of dragonfly/bee-like dragons, during the Year of Deragoth, Spirit of Darkness, and therefore was, like all others born during this year, imparted with some of the spirit's magic. Wasp was the oldest, and, should another sibling not challenge her mother for the throne, Wasp would inherit her mother's throne after Cochineal's death. Cochineal later had 8 other daughters and 3 sons, all younger than Wasp. Wasp had somewhat of a fierce rivalry with her sisters, especially with the second-oldest of her younger sisters, Bloodworm, as they all knew the only way another one of them could rule was if they challenge their mother for the throne before her death. Wasp had a better relationship with her brothers, as they could never take the throne, the tribe being always ruled by queens , but she had a secret dislike of her youngest brother, Malachite, who, due to his kind, compassionate and wise personality had made him his parents favorite.

At some point in time, after ditching Zazu, Princess Hazel and Oakwood, who were visiting with Hazel's great-grandmother, Queen Sequoia, to re-establish the yearly trade treaty between the three tribes, make their way over to a steaming watering hole, where Wasp and several other HiveWings, including her siblings, are sleeping under Lady Scarab's gaze, only to be woken by Hazel and Oakwood. Oakwood shows his bravery by ordering the HiveWings to move out of their way while Hazel remains cautious of their presence. Wasp, Venomfang and several others laugh but Oakwood refuses to leave, challenging Wasp by mistake. When Hazel also steps up to save her friend, Wasp, Venomfang and several others start to circle around the pair until Zazu drops down to introduce Hazel as Queen Sequoia great-granddaughter. Scarab is shocked at this revelation, but Wasp states that they challenged her and reminds Zazu that this was not his territory. Scarab agrees that rules are rules, and even Sequoia respects the ways of her tribe's neighbors. Zazu agrees and states that he, too, understands their ways, and offers himself in exchange for Hazel's freedom, by leaping into Makuu's mouth, to Wasp's surprise, who grunts "uh", and Scarab's admiration of such bravery. Not wishing to upset their allies, Scarab allows the three to go free, glaring at Wasp to see if she has any objections. Wasp reluctantly obliges to her aunt's orders, grumbling that she wasn't that hungry anyway.

It was learn't at a young age that Wasp was unnaturally powerful and her parents sent her to join the United Forces of the Dragon Riders and eventually rose to the role of Einherji, a force that patrolled The Border between Xadia the the Five Kingdoms. It soon became clear that Wasp was among the rare few who could harness and command the Twelve Elemental Moves of Creation and Destruction

Unfortunately, what neither Wasp's teachers, nor her parents saw was that the mastery of this rare power had planted seeds of arrogance, cruelty and loathing for the non magical who were believed to be the sole reason the Dragons did not rule the entire continent in Wasp's heart.

And there came a time when one of Wasp's closest friends, Isaac Nasser, lost his friend and teacher, the Magma Titan of the Mountains, who was killed by King Harrow, Viren, Queen Sarai, Queen Annika, Queen Neha and their soldiers in order to save the kingdom of Duren. Isaac, infuriated, demanded that his mentor be avenged and that Katalos should pay for their betrayal. However, the elder leaders of the Rider's Order refused, not wanting to begin a war with the humans. Driven by rage and bitterness Isaac and his dragon, Inferno (under the pretence of leaving to find peace in the Misted Peaks), fled into the Barrier Mountains, where no one would have dared follow. He also began collecting followers in case he desired either an army or an uprising. Among the hundreds he recruited from each kingdom included Wasp and a few others (including at least a hundred Pantalan Dark Ones) who were supporting her were in fact secret supporters of Isaac.

By this time, a still-young Wasp began to show interest in making weapons that relied on the fireworks' gunpowder and displayed a deep curiosity in the Dark Arts and Elemental-Harnessing Magic, both of which were expressively forbidden by the Riders, both of which in turn swelled her ego, vainly boasting she had been able to master magic that even the riders could not, causing her loving father and mother grow increasingly worried about their daughter. The concerned parents asked their long-time friend and court soothsayer what Wasp's future held. She proclaimed that if she continued with her dark pursuits, she would be defeated by "a trio of warriors of yellow and black, blue and violet and green and gold, equipped with the strength of knowledge, silk of flames and the language of the trees". But this would not be the end of her suffering, no, for the Soothsayer prophesied that Wasp would be "continuously thwarted by a three warriors of yellow and black, blue and violet and green and gold, equipped with the strength of knowledge, silk of flames and the language of the trees".

Wasp overheard this prophecy and sought to defy it, fearing any obstacles in her plans. Assuming the "warriors of yellow and black, blue and violet and green and gold" referred to a trio consisting of a HiveWing, LeafWing and SilkWing, Wasp and her followers attempted to secretly find any village that homed, along with a HiveWings, at least one LeafWing with the power of Leafspeak and no less than one Flamesilk SilkWing. However, Wasp failed to comprehend that her mother would feel concern for the SilkWings and LeafWings, nor that she would investigated. After feeling confident that she could end the likelihood of any "warriors of yellow and black, blue and violet and green and gold" being born in Pantala, Wasp led her followers in decimating the farming village of Cantos, which was populated by multiple HiveWing, SilkWing and LeafWing Elves working in close harmony, causing hybrids between to three tribes to be common, intending to leave none of the villagers alive. Once the village had been put to the torch (although a vast amount of the villagers escaped), Wasp returned home, expecting praise from her parents and acceptance that the HiveWings death were necessary for "The Greater Good". However, her parents were horrified at their daughter and heir's actions and instead decided to banished her and her followers from any inhabited area of Pantala forever and disowned her from their family. Infuriated, Wasp used some of the last of her family right to challenge Cochineal for her throne, and, despite her expertise in dark magic, Cochineal eventually overpowered Wasp, but did not have the heart to kill her, instead carrying out her decision to banish to traitorous HiveWings, and, with Queens Sequoia and Monarch agreement. Betrayed and furious, Wasp left Gongmen City with her followers flapping after her filled with anger and feeling wronged by her parents and those of her comrades who she viewed as "not being able to see far enough into the future to see that the strong must rule the weak if Xadia is to survive", as she considered her actions as bravely defying fate to realize her goals. She swore revenge while promising she would someday return and rule supreme over all of Pantala. Wasp traveled to the border of the north-western peninsula, where she built a headquarters among the foothills.

Wasp eventually made her way to distant Zaofu, where the city's leader, Princess Fader (who was unaware of Wasp's crimes, as Pantala had decided to keep it secret) gave them refuge. Wasp took up a high ranking position and reunited with her old friend, Isaac, who had left the Barrier Mountains and traveled to Zaofu, where he had become one of the city's leaders, alongside his cousin, Fader. After the Insurrection of the Black Lily and Fader's refusal to become Queen of the Northern Lands, Wasp made plans with Isaac and 12 other Riders who believed, as she did, that the Riders should rule, behind Fader's back to leave Zaofu and stabilize the situation in Ba Sing Se and the rest of the Northern Kingdom. Several weeks before the rebels intended to leave, Wasp attended a secret underground rally alongside the thousands of Dragon Lord followers (more than half the city's population) that had already arrived at Zaofu, standing with her Dragon Rider comrades and several of her WaspWings on one of the upper balconies as she watched her master rile hundreds to shout their allegiance to him after showing and displayed his power, which is met with raucous applause from all those present, Wasp included. Finally, on the day of departure, Wasp and all of the Dragon Lord's followers prepared to depart Zaofu in a fleet of airships, embarking with her comrades after ensuring her possessions were safely packed away securely. Despite being threatened by Fader to be banished if they left, Isaac, Inferno, Darkness, Wasp and 11 other Dragon Riders left in a fleet of airships along with all of Wasp's followers, Varrick, a random number of ordinary Zaofu citizens, every member of the Thestral, Cervidian and Lycanequui tribes, no matter their age, at least half of Zaofu's defence force, all of Darkness and Grimler's Royal Guards and some of Zaofu's wealthiest citizens for Ba Sing Se. They left for the city of Ba Sing Se and managed to stabilize the kingdom, an action that earned Isaac the trust of the kingdoms' leaders, who appointed him as their nations' provisional leader, which Isaac accepted. With the nations' leaders behind them, the Dark Ones and their allies continued to stabilize the various fractured kingdoms and, with a high-speed maglev train, Isaac traveled to states overrun by bandits and bargained with their leaders, offering protection and supplies in return for their allegiance to him. Finally, when the now-united Northern Kingdoms were under Isaac's control, Isaac merged them together to form the Empire of the Moon, or Lunar Empire, and set himself up as their leader. By this time, he had collected an enormous military, merging the Dark Ones and Zaofu citizens who had accompanied him when she departed with the people of the nations he united, who he realized were very loyal to him. The army possessed enormous financial and military support (as, upon unification, the Northern Kingdoms were as large and powerful as Magicar), and, along with troops, the army was also equipped with which included modernized airships, mecha suits, and other tanks, as well as a mighty fleet of warships. Isaac eventually stretched out to Magicar and, upon displaying his Empire's might, offered to allow Magicar to join them, though his siblings refused, believing their banished sibling wanted power. Outraged, Isaac decided to forcefully unite the kingdom of Magicar with his Empire. By this time, Wasp had risen to the ranks of his inner circle and fully pledged her allegiance to the Dragon Lord (aka Isaac) and became one of the thirteen traitorous Dragon Riders who had joined the Dragon Lord in his bloody conquest, where she used the Eldunari of a dragon who had willingly surrendered his heart of hearts to conjured a smoke-like dragon as her steed. Wasp eventually forged an alliance with another one of the dragon lord allies, the Othermind (though unknown to her, the Othermind had also been promised Pantala by the Dragon Lord (although the Dragon Lord eventually decided to keep his promise to Wasp). Unlike most of the Draconic Elf Kingdoms, the HiveWings remained fairly neutral, although they supplied needed supplies to the Riders.
