'Blue' is a male SilkWing dragonet and the main protagonist of The Lost Continent. He lived in
Cicada Hive along with his half-sister Luna and his Burnet|two
Silverspot|mothers before becoming a fugitive along with Cricket and
Swordtail. He was formerly under the control of the othermind and
currently resides in the LeafSilk Kingdom. He is a flamesilk and is
currently in a relationship with Cricket.

## Description

Blue has gemlike azure, bright morpho butterfly blue, and
lavender-purple scales, with purple scales on his back, quiet lavender
scales on his arms, azure talons, and a purple snout. His body glints
with purple and aquamarine like buried jewels, and his wings shimmer
purple and bright cerulean blue, like sapphires and violets 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 has glowing embers under his wrist
scales due to being a flamesilk. He is fairly small, but larger than
Cricket, and he and his biological parents' initials are carved into his
right palm, forming a triangle. The larger B stands to his name, and a
smaller B and A stand for Burnet and Admiral. Cricket considers him to
be the most beautiful dragon she had ever met. Fritillary described him
as being a midget and scrawny.

## Personality

In the beginning of The Lost Continent, Blue was described as being a
dragon who "liked things the way they were." Blue believed that if
someone offered him peace and stability in exchange for independence, he
would accept without question. He was content with his life, but did not
exactly like everything about life as a SilkWing, and would remind
himself about the bright side of the HiveWings' rule, and he feared
change, often feeling waves of panic when he thought about going into
Metamorphosis. He also never felt any desire to go beyond his
birthplace, Cicada Hive. He believed that the HiveWings protected the
SilkWings from the LeafWings, despite Luna's remarks.

After saying something that mildly upset Luna, Blue instantly felt
guilty and apologized to her. He worries about hurting other dragons'
feelings. He dislikes arguing with others, and is sensible, indecisive,
quiet, and obedient. He also 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 he is
tentative and loyal. He also 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. Blue used to really believe in the rules, and never wanted to break
rules or be in trouble. During the events of The Lost Continent, he
realized that rules should not be followed if there are more important
things.

Blue often imagines himself as other dragons, and he constantly wonders
about what they desire, what they worry about and hope for, and why some
dragons seem unhappy. He thinks that most of his guesses are probably
wrong, but other dragons' lives draw him like a moth to a flame. He has
faith in other dragons, and it would be difficult for him to care about
himself more than everybody else. When forced by Wasp's mind-control to
stand guard over his fellow SilkWings, he would often cry. Snowfall
described him as "the sappiest little butterfly of a dragon" she had
ever encountered. Snowfall also thinks that he is "the most opposite of
herself she'd ever been." Luna describes him as the sweetest, most
understanding dragon in the world who still fights back whenever he
needs. Luna also described him as not the most reliable
truster-of-dragons. Blue wants to be liked by other dragons, similar to
Qibli, but instead of using jokes and humor, he lets other dragons order
him around.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left The Lost Continent

Blue was first introduced in his home during the night, busy
thinking about his half-sister, Luna, and her upcoming Metamorphosis.
After Luna stirred him and said goodbye to her mother, Silverspot, they
went to Luna's favorite places to celebrate her last day as a dragonet.
Before they could enter the shopping plaza, Blue and Luna were checked
in by a HiveWing guard named Hawker, who examined their IDs and palm
carvings before letting them through. Luna was surprised that he said so
many words, and Blue joked that Hawker might like her. After three more
checkpoints, Blue and Luna finally entered the plaza, where they went
into a candy store named Cicada Hive#Marketplace|The Sugar Dream.
However, the HiveWing salesdragon, Chafer, refused to serve them until
Scarab had been checked out. Two more HiveWings then entered the shop,
rudely commenting on Chafer's "interesting new customers." Weevil, one
of the HiveWings, asked to touch Luna's wing buds. When she refused,
Blue quickly explained that it was better not to touch them right before
Metamorphosis — a lie because he did not want Luna to get in trouble —
and offered to let the HiveWing touch his own. After Weevil poked them,
Lady Scarab asked Weevil to help her pick up some candy so that he would
leave Blue alone. However, Weevil's friend smugly requested an
extra-complicated order of eight honey drops, six sugar wasps, and one
box of apricot taffy.

After Weevil and his friend left the store, Chafer still refused to
serve them on Scarab's behalf. Scarab insisted on Chafer serving the
SilkWings immediately, and when he refused, she used her HiveWing powers
to create a foul-smelling odor. Chafer hurriedly gave them their two
honey drops, and Luna dropped two scales on the counter as payment.
Before they left, Lady Scarab told them that they should visit a
friendlier store towards SilkWings next time.

After that, Blue and Luna visited the Cicada Hive#The Mosaic
Garden|Mosaic Garden. There, Luna complained about her silk glands,
which were glowing a strong orange color, hurting. Luna told Blue that
they needed to leave, and they went to the Cicada Hive#The
Cocoon|Cocoon immediately, where they met with Burnet, Io, and
Swordtail, as well as at least five HiveWing guards. As Luna began her
Metamorphosis, flamesilk spilled from her wrists, and the guards
surrounded her. Swordtail began fighting the guards while Io ordered
Blue to run. She told him that he had to stop trusting the HiveWings if
he wanted to remain free and that he had to go somewhere he would not be
found; if Luna turned out to be a flamesilk, then Queen Wasp would
probably want Blue locked up in case he was one as well.

When Blue and Io stopped at the edge of the Cocoon's outer courtyard, Io
threw Blue up into the air. Flinging Blue up toward the last level of
the Hive, they both ran across the Hive's treestuff. Io told Blue to
find a group of rebel SilkWings called the Chrysalis; they would help
Blue if he could find them. They ran until they reached an upper-class
Cicada Hive#Terrarium Academy|HiveWing school, which bordered a park
filled with HiveWing families. Blue and Io posed as humble SilkWing
servants and went unnoticed until Queen Wasp mind-controlled her tribe,
putting them under orders to find and capture Blue. Blue and Io fled for
the exit, where two HiveWings confronted Io. She knocked a ladder
between her and the guards and shot a strand of silk from her wrists for
Blue to swing from. He managed to escape the attacking HiveWings,
running towards the end of the courtyard, where he was rescued by talons
ushering him inside a supply shed.

His rescuer led him into a series of tunnels located under the HiveWing
school, and they emerged into a small library. There, Blue realized that
she was a HiveWing. She introduced herself as Cricket, explaining that
she could not be mind-controlled like the rest of her tribe for an
unknown reason.

While they were talking, Blue felt a sharp prickle from under his
armband. As he started to feel woozy and his words started to slur,
Cricket explained that there were probably toxic-inducing barbs under
his band, installed for precisely this type of situation to make him
easier to capture. Cricket took one of the lamps from the library walls,
breaking the glass ball inside to reveal a small piece of glowing
flamesilk. Using a pair of tweezers, she used the strand of flamesilk to
burn off Blue's armband. That was when Blue lost consciousness on the
table, waking to Cricket's voice urging him to get up. Just in time, he
and Cricket hid in the tunnel's trapdoor. A moment later, three
brainwashed HiveWings checked the library for Blue, and after they left,
Blue and Cricket crept out from the trapdoor again.

Cricket pulled a book from one of the shelves, which contained a page
that explained flamesilk genetics. According to the book, a SilkWing
dragonet with one flamesilk parent had a fifty percent chance of being
one themselves, meaning that Blue may have been one himself. When Blue
told Cricket about his half-sister Luna and how she was in danger, she
agreed to help him rescue her. In the librarian's desk, they found forms
about flamesilk orders, which all traced back to a warehouse located in
Wasp Hive. Before they could travel there, they needed to rescue
Swordtail from Cicada Hive#Misbehaver's Way|Misbehaver's Way.

As they continued through the HiveWing school, Cricket took Blue into a
room full of small terrariums. There, Blue was surprised to see a tree
growing in the middle of Cricket's terrarium. Cricket explained that she
had found the seed on one of her school's gathering field trips and that
she had not known it was a tree until it started growing. Next, they
entered a room entitled Chemistry. This room was connected to an art
gallery, where Cricket painted Blue's scales in dark blue, brown, and
red colors, disguising the vibrant blues and purples. Once they had
reached the exit door, Blue went first to make sure it was safe; he was
only confronted by one working HiveWing, who told him that it was
probably best to get back to his cell since the queen was going to send
out the search parties for the missing SilkWing as soon as dawn arrived
the next day. Blue nodded to him and beckoned for Cricket to join him
after the HiveWing had left.

After walking through the park, Cricket pushed open a gate that bordered
the courtyard, emerging onto a path that led to Misbehaver's Way's
pedestals. There, the displayed dragons stood frozen. After burning off
Swordtail's wrist cuff, Cricket then unrolled a pouch of vials from her
satchel, selecting one with a green liquid inside and placing the
flamesilk from the library into the bottle so that the substance started
to bubble and steam. Holding it under Swordtail's nose, the SilkWing
woke up with a lot more strength and speed than usual. After smashing
straight through one of the treestuff walls and throwing rocks around,
Swordtail wrapped Blue's chest in silk, scooped him up, and disappeared
into the night with Cricket close behind.

After a full night of flying, Blue noticed a massive divot in the
savanna, where they descended. Once they reached the divot's bottom,
they found a tunnel that led away from the main cavern and deeper into
the ground. Following Cricket, Blue was greeted by a small pool, on
which rested a boat and a rope that lead to the surface. Cricket lead
the way deeper into the tunnel, where she found a scavenger. He was
sitting near a fire, reading a book, but he fled after seeing the
dragonets approaching him.

Swordtail then fell asleep near the fire, and Cricket offered to keep
watch while Blue slept as well, but Blue let Cricket rest while he kept
watching instead. When Cricket woke up, it was nighttime again, and the
three made plans to travel to Wasp Hive by morning. When Swordtail tried
to pick up Blue again, he found that his former strength had worn off,
and he ended up wrapping Blue's chest in thick silk so that he could
climb up the divot's walls without danger of falling. Once Blue finally
heaved himself over the divot's lip, he and Cricket found a small cave.
There, with Cricket curled beside him, Blue eventually fell into a
much-needed sleep. When he awoke, voices were coming from outside of
their hiding place. Blue and Cricket listened to a conversation between
two HiveWings, and how they both thought it was a waste of time to put
all of this effort into finding one troublesome SilkWing. They crept
across the savannah toward Wasp Hive after sleeping a little more,
keeping low in the grassland.

Once they had reached Wasp Hive's outskirts, the group saw several rows
of enormous greenhouses, one of which was hung with a sign that
declared: 'DO NOT ENTER, BY ORDER OF QUEEN WASP. PROPERTY OF THE QUEEN.
TRESPASSING PUNISHABLE BY DISMEMBERMENT, MAIMING, IMPALING, AND DEATH,
IN THAT ORDER. 'It was also barred by several thick layers of silk. Once
Blue and the others managed to enter the greenhouse, Swordtail rebuilt
the door with his silk, but all three of them were quickly captured by
three LeafWings who had been hiding inside the greenhouse. There,
Belladonna, Hemlock, and Sundew offered them a deal: help them steal the
Book of Clearsight, or die. While Swordtail was willing to help, Cricket
was not. After a bit of discussion, interspersed with Sundew yelling at
them, they decided to "help" the LeafWings, agreeing in front of them
and hoping to escape in secret later.

However, this plan was quickly overturned, as Sundew went with Blue and
Cricket to the Wasp Hive#The Temple of Clearsight|Temple of Clearsight.
They managed to reach the temple undiscovered but were attacked by the
Librarian, who had been permanently mind-controlled by Wasp ever since
accepting her job. After Sundew attacked the Librarian, she accidentally
dropped the key for the case protecting the Book of Clearsight, and Blue
used it to open the case and take the book. Using a pair of bullet ants,
Sundew forced Wasp to leave the Librarian's mind for the first time in
years. Cricket and the Librarian then carried Blue towards the exit
using a rope, but Wasp infiltrated the Librarian's mind once again and
forced her to drop the rope. Blue threw the Book of Clearsight to
Cricket, forcing her to drop the rope as well and leave Blue to the
mercy of the HiveWings.

Blue was then taken to Wasp Hive#Flamesilk factory|the flamesilk
factory, where he met his father, Admiral, for the first time along with
several other flamesilks as well as Luna's cocoon. As he explored the
cave, Blue found a small hole through which Sundew contacted him,
explaining her escape plan. Blue told her to delay it until Luna had
metamorphosed, which the LeafWing reluctantly agreed to. His first night
in the factory, he had a nightmare about the flamesilks arguing in a
never-ending series of hallways in Cricket's school. The morning after,
he watched Luna emerge from her cocoon and told her and his father about
the escape plan. After Admiral attempted to call the guards to stop his
children from escaping, Blue decided that he did not want to be like
him. Danaid declined an offer to come with them. Blue and Luna escaped
the factory by using Sundew's LeafWings#Abilities|leafspeak.

Along with Swordtail, they emerged from the LeafWing tunnels near
Pantala#Geography|Dragonfly Bay, where HiveWings eventually ambushed
them. As he was close to his Metamorphosis, Blue and Cricket hid in the
cave system, and Cricket promised to stay by his side during the
Metamorphosis.

left
The Hive Queen
After five days of
his Metamorphosis, Blue emerged from his cocoon and got his wings and
flamesilk. After Swordtail told Blue that Luna still had not been found,
the group agreed to travel to Jewel Hive in hopes of contacting the
Chrysalis. They landed on the top of a cliff a distance away from the
Hive, and Swordtail explained that to communicate with the Chrysalis,
they needed to leave them a message near a central feature — the
Glitterbazaar — in Jewel Hive. They spent the night in the back corner
of a curtain shop, and after Blue and Swordtail were awoken by Sundew,
the group moved to another stall and disguised themselves in extravagant
capes and scarves to blend in with the typical dragons of Jewel Hive.
Despite Sundew's disapproval, he left a strand of flamesilk in the
shop's lantern to pay for their items. They then went to a nearby
jewelry stall, where they added necklaces, headdresses, and other
adornments to their disguises. Again, Blue left three coils of flamesilk
in a small stone vase before they left.

The group stayed hidden and arrived at the entrance to the
Glitterbazaar. Sundew found a small, message-inked leaf at the base of
the Salvation Statue, reading Midnight. Library. 5.

Blue and the others followed Cricket to Jewel Hive#Dragonfly
Square|Dragonfly Square, where they hid inside a water tower until it
was dark. Cricket noticed Katydid sneaking into Cadelle's house, with
another hooded dragon watching from the avenue's corner. Despite Sundew
and Swordtail's protests, Cricket snuck away from the water tower and
entered Cadelle's house as well, where she met Katydid. After speaking
with her, Cricket returned to the water tower, where she lay curled
beside Blue while they talked about the mystery of Cricket's birth
parents. Near midnight, the group went to Jewel Hive's library, where
Cricket found the key to the library hidden on a statue of Clearsight,
beneath her fifth neck spine. Cricket unlocked the doors and returned
the key to its hiding place. After the group entered the library, Sundew
heard three arguing voices from the library's second level, and they all
climbed the stairs to investigate. Swordtail then introduced himself to
the three arguing SilkWings, Cinnabar, Morpho, and Tau, explaining that
he and his friends needed their help. After the SilkWings asked who
Swordtail's friends were, Blue, Cricket, and Sundew revealed themselves
as well. Morpho, Sundew, and Swordtail agreed that most of the HiveWings
needed to be destroyed to free the SilkWings and save the LeafWings, but
Blue, Cinnabar, Cricket, and Tau seemed to want a more peaceful
solution. During their conversation, Cricket saw a pair of HiveWing
guards fly past the library. She warned the others, and they hid in the
library's book drop columns.

After the guards and one HiveWing under Queen Wasp's mind control
entered the library, Wasp ordered her guards to find the dragons they
saw through the window. When their search was unsuccessful, Wasp
demanded that the guards build a bonfire of books in the middle of the
library in hopes of smoking the dragons out of hiding. Cinnabar and Tau
then revealed themselves and told the queen that they had been sneaking
into the library by night to avoid their work. Wasp told one of her guards to take Cinnabar and Tau back to Jewel for punishment
but stayed in the library until the other guard reported that Lady
Scarab was hiding someone in her mansion. Cricket assumed that the guard
was talking about Katydid, and, after the mind-controlled dragon and
Wasp's guard had left, Cricket said that she was going to warn her. Blue
agreed with Cricket, and after Morpho went home, Blue and the others
went into the upper levels of Jewel Hive and joined a party near
Scarab's mansion. From the party, everyone watched as a dragon
controlled by Wasp and a squad of HiveWing soldiers demanded that Scarab
show them the dragon she was hiding inside her mansion. Scarab refused,
but eventually, Katydid revealed herself to the HiveWings, and after
Wasp took over her mind, she took Katydid away. After watching all this,
Cricket decided to ask Lady Scarab if she knew anything about Wasp's
mind-control powers. Blue and the others stayed at the party.

Blue, Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail were next seen in one of the indoor
stalls in the Glitterbazaar. Cricket planned to reveal the truth about
the Book of Clearsight finally. Despite Sundew and Swordtail's
disapproval, they all copied Clearsight's letter and a few notes from
Cricket on several pieces of paper. When they had made well over one
hundred copies, Cricket collected them and wished Blue and the others
goodbye, explaining that they should hide; she needed to conduct the
next part of her plan by herself. While Cricket stayed in the
Glitterbazaar to distribute the truth and learn how Wasp's mind-control
worked, Blue and Swordtail spent the time searching for Luna, but to no
avail. Later, Cricket found her friends in a stall within the outer
Glitterbazaar canopy. Blue spoke with Cricket first and then led her
inside a stall, where she met with Sundew and Tau. Cricket briefly
explained that Wasp inserted a specific type of plant into HiveWing
eggs' shells to mind-control them, meaning that Belladonna and Hemlock
would not need to kill all of the HiveWings to save the LeafWings and
SilkWings. Cricket also rescued an egg from the Nest in Jewel Hive
because she guessed that because Wasp had only injected it once, the
dragonet inside would not be able to be mind-controlled. Sundew did not
think that her parents would care about Cricket's discovery, but she
agreed to let her try and convince them anyway.

The next morning, Blue awoke in a cave located in a peninsula northeast
of Jewel Hive. Shortly after Blue woke, Cricket's rescued egg hatched.
The group decided to name her Bumblebee for her black-and-yellow scales.
Cricket, looking at Bumblebee's eggshell, saw a green residue on the
inside. After she and Sundew smelled the substance, Sundew realized that
the eggshell smelled identical to the plants in Wasp's secret
greenhouse, meaning that the plants were probably the source of Wasp's
mind-control ability. Cricket asked Sundew if they could try to destroy
Wasp's plant supply, and she agreed, but before they left their cave,
Blue saw black smoke to the south. Upon further inspection, Cricket
realized that the smoke rose from Bloodworm Hive. Sundew knew then that
Belladonna and Hemlock had conducted the next part of their plan without
waiting for Sundew's report. While she was upset about that, the group
also saw hundreds of mind-controlled HiveWings flying toward Bloodworm
Hive to save it. Sundew knew that since most HiveWings would be
assisting Bloodworm Hive, Wasp Hive would be vulnerable, so Blue and the
others flew along the south coast of the peninsula until they reached
the outskirts of Wasp Hive. After scouting, Sundew shot a sleeping dart
at the guard protecting Wasp's greenhouse, and while Swordtail pulled
the guard away so that he would not die with the plants, the others
sliced open the webs covering the greenhouse opening. Sundew took a
small piece of the mind-control plant and put it into one of her pouches
before Blue spread his flamesilk around the greenhouse. Blue closed the
door just as the greenhouse completely shattered. Cricket ran into the
second HiveWing guard while escaping, but convinced him to save his
fellow guard and the other greenhouses. They then fled north, following
Sundew's lead towards the Poison Jungle.

left The Poison Jungle

After Bloodworm Hive was set aflame, Blue and company
followed Sundew to the Poison Jungle, where the LeafWings have been
hiding out since the Tree Wars. After Swordtail nearly gets eaten by a
giant Venus dragon-trap, Blue impulsively uses his flamesilk in an
attempt to burn the plant and save his friend. This causes a fire to
spread, which Sundew puts out. Blue is told that what he did was
incredibly unwise (in harsher words). When they reach the village, Blue
learns that his silk was used to burn down one of the hives, which
upsets him.

Belladonna mistakenly assumed that he, Swordtail, Cricket, and Bumblebee
were Sundew's prisoners. Sundew angrily corrects this, stating that
"anyone who hurts a scale on their bodies will find themselves on the
wrong end of a bombardier beetle." Blue then remained in the PoisonWing
village for the majority of the book.

He was then seen arguing with Swordtail at the temporary camp when
Sundew arrived with the antidote, which she was surprised by as she had
never seen Blue argue before. The next morning, after hearing of
Sundew's success with the antidote, he lit a large pyre to transmit the
cure via smoke, unaware that he was actually burning disguised breath of
evil. He was likely taken over by the othermind afterward.

left
The Dangerous Gift
Blue was shown in
the prologue, unconscious along with Swordtail. Before the prologue's
events, Swordtail stated that he had short flashbacks of Blue burning
the Poison Jungle while being mind-controlled by the othermind. Then,
Swordtail attempted to escape with Blue. However, he was stopped by the
othermind.

Blue appeared in Snowfall's memory vision, being controlled by the
othermind. He briefly wonders if the other dragons made it to Pyrrhia
and was deeply sorrowful over how he is manipulated by the othermind to
kill dragons against his will. When Snowfall wakes up, she describes her
"feelings" for Cricket as Blue leans through her scales, shooting out
beams of love to the bespectacled dragon. He is again mentioned when
Snowfall has to reveal what her visions were.

left
The Flames of Hope
Blue was
mentioned when Luna thought about how he trusted Cricket. She worries
about the fact that he would probably trust a 'giant hissing scorpion
wielding knives if it said something sympathetic' due to her not feeling
comfortable with Cricket around. Upon being given the dreamvisitor by
Tsunami, she asks Cricket if she visited Blue. Cricket then answered her
by telling Luna that he was having a nightmare with plants growing
through walls and strangling the SilkWings. Blue is once again mentioned
by Swordtail when he tells Luna how the SilkWing was with him in Cicada
Hive.

Blue later appeared in Luna's memory in the art room at Silkworm Hall.
Blue was nervous about getting in trouble for being in the art room
after school. Swordtail reassured him that they would not get in trouble
and Blue decided to clean the art room while they were there. While
Swordtail and Blue were off cleaning, Luna helped Io decide where to put
her Chrysalis symbol in secret. Afterwards, Blue came in with a broom
and warned Luna about putting trees in her tapestries, stating that he
only wanted Luna to stay out of trouble. Suddenly Swordtail came
bursting in and told the group that the headmaster was coming and that
they needed to hide. Luna shoved Blue into a pile of discarded weavings
in order to hide him. When the headmaster came into the art room, he
first went to inspect the pile of discarded weavings, much to Luna's
horror. Luna and Swordtail jumped out of their hiding places to distract
the headmaster from Blue's hiding place. The angry headmaster took the
two SilkWings to his office while Io and Blue were given enough time to
escape. Blue was eventually reunited with Luna at Cicada Hive after the
othermind's defeat and helped introduce Cricket to his family and Io.

In the epilogue, Blue was shown admiring the view of the tree-filled
expanse of the Dragontail Peninsula and exchanged some banter between
his friends.

## Relationships

### Admiral

Admiral is Blue's father, although Blue was raised by Burnet and
Silverspot and did not meet his father as a young dragonet. In The Lost
Continent, when Blue was captured by the HiveWings and sent to the
flamesilk factory, he discovered that Admiral was one of the SilkWings
working there. After speaking with his father, Blue realized that
Admiral's peaceful, obedient way of trying to change things — sending
fruitless letters to Queen Wasp to improve the flamesilks' living and
working conditions — was not effective at all, having said most of his
letters were dismissed. He tried to reason with Admiral by explaining
that the only way to gain freedom was by directly disobeying the queen,
but Admiral strongly disagreed. When Blue attempted to escape the
factory with Luna, Cricket, Sundew, and Swordtail, Admiral tried to
notify the factory's HiveWing guards and betray his son. However, Danaid
was willing to help the young dragons by causing a loud distraction that
consisted of all of the flamesilks loudly arguing, which consequently
drowned out Admiral's warning.

### Bumblebee

Bumblebee has positive relationships with Blue, and when Bumblebee
hatched, Blue was very excited to raise her. He is almost like an
adoptive father towards Bumblebee.

### Burnet

Burnet is Blue's biological mother. From what is given in The Lost
Continent, they seem to have a strong and affectionate bonding
relationship. Blue mentioned Burnet a few times throughout The Hive
Queen, expressing how he missed her even though she never warned her
dragonets about the possibility that they may have been flamesilks like
their father.

### 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 him 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, and could
not imagine his life without her in it. 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. His
heart jumps at the sight of her, he feels beams of affection towards
her, and he would never hide anything from Cricket.

### Luna

Luna is Blue's half-sister, and the two of them are very close. Blue
often teases and jokes around with Luna, and he believes that arguing
with her will get him nowhere. Blue did not want Luna going into her
Metamorphosis scared or anxious. When Luna finished her Metamorphosis,
Blue cried tears of joy because he had missed her so much. Luna is
affectionate towards him, and has always been able to read him since
they were very young. He is one of her three best friends in the world.

### Silverspot

Silverspot is Blue's stepmother (and Luna's biological mother). Not much
is known about their relationship, but Silverspot helped Burnet raise
Blue and his sister. Blue also thinks that she, Luna, Burnet, and
himself make up a good family and that Silverspot and Burnet were
partnered "for the best."

### Sundew

Like Cricket, Blue believes that even though Sundew is fierce on the
outside, she is kind on the inside. Blue often surprises Sundew, most
notably with his defiance of SilkWing stereotypes and standing up to
Queen Wasp for the greater good of Pantala. Sundew understands that Blue
tries to understand most everyone, so she suppresses her emotions she
sees as wimpy (like fear) to appear cold and relentless. They are
friends but disagree on the way to do things because while Blue wants to
take a systematic and pacifist approach to life, Sundew, on the other
hand, is a more "shoot first, ask questions later" kind of dragon.
Sundew stole a piece of Blue's flamesilk for the Burning of Bloodworm
Hive, making him trust her a bit less. But despite that, he still has
great trust in her.

### Swordtail

Swordtail is Luna's partner and one of Blue's closest friends. He is
very rebellious (like Luna), a contrast to Blue's submissive and
pacifistic personality. Blue sometimes worries that his friend will get
Luna into trouble, though he knows that Swordtail would do anything to
protect her from danger. Blue tries to reassure Swordtail that if Luna
were dead, they would feel it. He calls Swordtail his best and bravest
friend.

You'll be fine. I've never heard of anything going wrong during
a Metamorphosis. I'm sure what you're feeling is totally normal. All of
this is normal. It's going to be all right. Everything is always all
right in the end, you know? You're going to wake up with awesome wings
and cool silk and fly everywhere and be the greatest spinner in the
history of the Hives.

Poor dragons, just trying to do their jobs and take care of
some plants. They don't deserve a day of being knocked unconscious plus
a massive headache. Well, YOU don't deserve to be chased across the
savanna and treated like a mass murderer, so perhaps there's a little
unfairness to go around.

But - what about everyone else? [...] Burnet and Silverspot?
Your parents? All of the dragons we went to school with? All our
teachers? Cricket's sister? Don't you care about any of them?

Blue cared about all of them: every dragon he'd ever spoken to
and all the ones he'd never seen. There were dragons out there eating
blueberries and dragons laughing at clumsy tiger cubs and dragons
learning to dance and dragons crying as though their hearts would break
over missing homework. He'd been all of them in some way, and he
couldn't just toss them into the talons of these vengeful, angry dragons
and fly off.

Maybe [the guards] are only friendly because they're talking
to a HiveWing. Have you ever seen a guard be that nice to a SilkWing?
Did you even know they COULD smile? These same guards might have been
out for the last three days hunting you. They might have been in the
unit that came to shove me in a cage. They might spend their other
shifts poking flamesilks with spears to make them burn faster.

What would Clearsight think of us? Fighting over her legacy
like this. What did she see in this vision, and what did she think of
it? Was she proud of the Librarian for defending the Book? Did she hate
us for trying to steal it? I'm sorry, Clearsight. I never meant to cause
trouble like this. I didn't ask for it. I tried to be good.

But … I'm not. I mean, I've done all the things they think I
have. But that doesn't make me bad. […] Yes, I broke HiveWing rules.
But I had good reasons to. I'm not trying to hurt anyone — I just wanted
to find my sister and set her free. Queen Wasp didn't have to be so
secretive and menacing and terrifying in the first place.

This is not going to be our life, Luna. I won't spend the next
hundred years writing fruitless letters. Father's way, obeying the
system, hasn't worked. So we'll find another. Or we'll burn it all down.

Father, you don't have to follow rules that are unjust, and you
don't have to do everything the queen says. Don't you feel like there
are rules in your heart that are more important? About helping other
dragons, and standing up for anyone who's being treated badly, and
loving whoever you want, and choosing to live your life in your own
kind, peaceful way?

I don't understand. How could Queen Wasp read this and then
decide to become the total opposite of what Clearsight says to be?

The HiveWings have also been lied to, and brainwashed and
tricked. The queen is the problem. You have to fight her, not the whole
tribe.

If you haven't found [Luna], then she must still be alive.
We'd feel it if she wasn't, don't you think? Maybe she's hiding
somewhere and hasn't made it back yet. She'll find us again. I'm sure
she will, Swordtail. She's probably out worrying about us twice as much
as we're worrying about her.

I know. But that's not … it's just, some dragon worked hard on
all this, and they probably need the money for their family. It's wrong
to steal from them.

As I was coming out the cocoon, for a moment I forgot
everything that had happened. I thought I would open my eyes and Mother
and Silverspot would be there, waiting for me and smiling and ready to
hug me and take me flying. I've been trying not to think of them too
much … but, just for a moment, that felt so real. I hope they're
alright.

This isn't right. There are good HiveWings, I'm sure of it. I
don't think we can solve a tragedy of the past by just repeating it in
reverse.

It's so beautiful from up there. It's like a huge dragon spread
green wings all across the Dragontail Peninsula. I can't believe how
many more trees there are already. We were only gone a few days!

## Trivia

  - On the pre-final cover of The Lost Continent, he was green instead
    of purple.[1]
  - On the cover of The Lost Continent, Blue is depicted with wings,
    when in reality, he does not have wings for the entirety of the
    book. Tui has revealed that she was aware of this and that Joy Ang
    did a few sketches of him without wings, but Tui thought that they
    were too pretty to be left out of the drawing.
  - On the cover of The Lost Continent, Blue's snout is green.[2]
    However, Cricket described Blue to have a purple snout.
  - Blue does not snore.
  - Elements of Misbehaver's Way are featured in Blue's recurring
    nightmares.
  - Blue has a Good Citizenship award.
  - Until the events of The Hive Queen, Blue's Metamorphosis was his
    greatest fear.
  - When Blue enters the sleeping hollow chosen for him by Admiral, he
    feels "a shiver across his wings." However, at this point of the
    story, Blue had not yet undergone his Metamorphosis and, therefore,
    only has wingbuds.
  - Before his Metamorphosis, Blue would be airsick and always felt
    safer in the Hives rather than on the webs.
  - Blue was described to smell like fried bananas.
  - Blue is the only main protagonist in the third arc who is male.
  - Blue was based on the idea of "How to save the world as a Hufflepuff
    instead of a Gryffindor."
  - Blue likes nectarines.
  - Blue's name was originally going to be Dusky.
      - This name was used later for a Dusky|dragonet introduced in The
        Flames of Hope.
