'Bryony' is an adult female LeafWing who was introduced in The Poison Jungle. She
was formerly a member of the PoisonWings led by Belladonna|Commander
Belladonna and Hemlock. The prologue of The Poison Jungle was from her
perspective as she helped orchestrate the Burning of Bloodworm Hive,
alongside Hemlock and Pokeweed. She currently resides on Pantala and is
in a relationship with Grayling.

## Description

Bryony has green wings and a green tail. She is smaller than Hemlock.

## Personality

Bryony is quiet and worried. Like most PoisonWings, Bryony is fiercely
in opposition to the HiveWings, claiming that they murdered and stole
the LeafWing trees. Bryony has a bitter sense of humor, and originally
did not care about SilkWings at all, thinking of them as weak and
pathetic. However, after meeting Grayling and the rest of the Bloodworm
Hive Chrysalis, she changed her mind greatly and felt remorseful over
some of her violent thoughts. Queen Snowfall describes her as stupid.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Poison Jungle

In the prologue, Bryony was preparing to burn down Bloodworm Hive along
with two other LeafWings, Hemlock and Pokeweed, as well as Grayling.
While preparing, she mocked and laughed about how the HiveWings took all
the trees and then decided to make little greenhouses to grow plants,
with Pokeweed and Hemlock ignoring her chatter. Grayling conversed with
Bryony about how grateful he was to the LeafWings for rising up against
the HiveWings. They then proceeded with their plan and burnt Bloodworm
Hive to the ground.

#### The Dangerous Gift

One of Snowfall's visions was from Bryony's point of view. Bryony, along
with the rest of the LeafWings and SilkWings, were hiding in the
underground caves of Pantala after the Burning of Bloodworm Hive. She
thought of her problems and worried about Grayling. When she woke up,
Snowfall felt Bryony's emotions strongly because of her love for
Grayling.

#### The Flames of Hope

Bryony had gone into hiding along with Hemlock, Pokeweed, Grayling, and
the SilkWings from Bloodworm Hive, Jewel Hive, and Mantis Hive. She was
one of the dragons who agreed to go with Luna and her group to the
abyss.

## Relationships

### Grayling

After she met Grayling, she could not even think about what would have
happened if they had not warned the SilkWings beforehand as she would
have lost him forever. Bryony is in love with Grayling, and he thinks
she is a hero. She would protect him at all costs, and they are
physically affectionate with one another. Bryony is reassuring toward
him and feels affection for him, believing him to be special and
beloved. Bryony does not know how she fell for Grayling, but she will
murder anyone who hurts him.

### Hemlock

Bryony describes Hemlock as "stoic and boring." However, she seems to
respect him more than Pokeweed.

### Pokeweed

Like Hemlock, Bryony thinks of Pokeweed as "stoic and boring." She seems
to be competitive with the male LeafWing, jumping to do things before he
can.

### Sundew

Being one year older than her, Bryony grew up with Sundew. When Sundew
told her about the Chrysalis, she thought the younger LeafWing had been
hit very hard on the head.

## Quotes

I think it's kind of funny how all the Hives have greenhouses,
[…] It's like, the HiveWings wiped out all the trees thinking they
were sooo clever, and then after they were done, they realized, oops,
plants are kind of useful, actually; maybe we should make some little
houses and grow a few. […] Easy enough once they also stole the
SilkWings' fire, I guess.
