## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Hive Queen

Treehopper was seen reading a Literature|book before Tau, a SilkWing,
approached him. He began a conversation with Tau, the two laughed and
their wings brushed occasionally. However, during the conversation he
was abruptly taken over by Queen Wasp. Luckily, the queen did not
discover their relationship. When he was himself again, he apologized to
Tau, who reassured him that it was not his fault.

#### The Dangerous Gift

One of Queen Snowfall's visions was from Tau's point of view. Treehopper
was often mentioned, as Tau worried about how Wasp was controlling him
and could have manipulated him into killing dragons he would never want
to kill.

#### The Flames of Hope

Luna mentioned that Treehopper came to the SilkWing encampments to look
for Tau and never left.

## Relationships

### Tau

Tau and Treehopper are in a relationship with one another, which was
forbidden in the Hives. According to Cinnabar, their feelings for one
another are quite obvious. When Treehopper saw Tau, his reaction was
described as if "he had just discovered sunlight." According to Cricket,
they looked very happy when they were together. Tau worries for him and
was afraid that Wasp would make him harm dragons he did not want to
during the Jewel Hive evacuation. After he was freed from the othermind,
he went looking for Tau in the SilkWing encampment and never left.
