'The
Librarian' is an adult female HiveWing who was introduced in The Lost Continent. She had spent most of her life
being controlled by Queen Wasp. She took the job of the Librarian
protecting and watching over the Book of Clearsight thinking it was an
honor, but later found out that Wasp mind-controlled her day and night.
Therefore, she never got to read or even see the Book of Clearsight in
reality. She is currently taking refuge in the LeafSilk Kingdom.

## Description

The Librarian has pale orange scales the color of unripe apricots,
marked with a zigzagging triangle pattern of black along her spine and
tail. She is tall and bony and wears a dark silk veil that shrouds her
face as well as the key to the Book of Clearsight around her neck. When
she is not being controlled by Queen Wasp, she has dark orange eyes. She
has long, retractable stingers under her claws, and is fairly large and
strong.

## Personality

The Librarian appears to be a HiveWing kinder than most others, most
likely due to constantly being mind-controlled by Queen Wasp. She seems
to be highly disappointed with the implications of her rule to the
HiveWings. None of the other HiveWings knew how badly her "work" was
forced on her. Because of this, she appears to dislike Wasp, a trait
which is unusual among HiveWings. She might have been a nice
Dragons|dragon, if anyone had been able to speak to her properly.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

left The Lost Continent

When Blue, Cricket, and Sundew first met The Librarian, she
was under Queen Wasp's control. She fought Sundew, who was able to steal
the key to the Book of Clearsight's box. Soon afterwards, Sundew freed
her from the queen's mind control for the first time since she was
initiated as Librarian using the pain from a bullet ant, which made the
queen want to leave the Librarian's body, as she was unable to handle
the pain. When she was sure the queen had left The Librarian's body,
Sundew gave the Librarian plants to chew and apply to the wound, to
deaden the pain. The Librarian decided to help Blue, Cricket, and Sundew
steal the Book of Clearsight and get away. However, the queen started
controlling the Librarian again after Sundew used something to distract
the HiveWings below. The last thing Blue saw of the Librarian was Sundew
fighting her.

Cricket mentioned the
event with The Librarian, telling Sundew that not all HiveWings are bad,
Wasp just did not give them a choice. She later mentioned her during a
discussion with Katydid.

## Quotes

That's the one way to be sure the Librarian never reveals the
Book's secrets. The tribe thinks two dragons share the Book's knowledge
— but really, only the queen does, because the Librarian isn't herself
anymore.

Ever since the initiation ceremony. I woke up from the ritual
with Queen Wasp inside my head. When she sleeps, she makes me sleep.
She's always in there. I was so proud to be chosen. I never knew what it
would mean — I had no idea she did this.

## Trivia

  - She had tried multiple times to stop Wasp's influence but was only
    fully free from the mind-control (for a short while) after Sundew
    unleashed her bullet ants.
      - It is unknown how she did this, as a mind-controlled dragon
        cannot struggle or move on their own, and the current Librarian
        is always under the mind-control.   - In The Lost Continent, the words that
    Queen Wasp makes her say while controlling her are not in bold, like
    other dragons being mind-controlled are, but this could be so that
    Tui T. Sutherland|Tui could create the plot twist of The Librarian
    always being controlled by Queen Wasp or the othermind.
