She was a small, underweight dragonet due to only being given minimum necessities. They didn't give her a name, instead just referring to her as "dragonet" or "nine" after her egg number.
The HiveWings would take care of her and teach her how to speak, with a few nicer ones educating her on basic matters. She was raised alone in a small chamber on the exterior of Wasp Hive. Instead of being killed she was hidden away where no SilkWing knew of her existence, with only a few select HiveWings knowing about her. However she was part of the Flamesilk project, and her chance to be a Flamesilk saved her due to the much needed resource. Firebug is invested in and enjoys just about everything she does, her appreciation for her new life is boundless.įirebug was born with black scales, a rare trait that normally would cause the dragonet to be terminated. Her friends will never have to doubt their friendship with how much Firebug makes it clear she loves them. She's very passionate about everything she does, whether it be lighting up the LeafWing village with her silk or just being a friend. Not everything about Firebug is all negativities relating to her past though.
Firebug is very vocal about her feelings, going on rants about the evil of HiveWings and how they need to pay for all they've done whenever the topic is brought up. Despite this she doesn't take her anger out on other dragons underserving of it, but it plays a factor in how easily she can get fed up by smaller things. She has much to be angry about, anger that stewed and festered for years and only recently was able to truly be released. Angry with the HiveWings, angry that they wanted to use her as a tool, angry that they took away 6 years of her life by isolating her in a small prison. She sees no need to hide her true thoughts and feelings with dragons she knows.įirebug is a rather angry dragon. Firebug is much more comfortable hanging around with one or two dragons at a time, though she usually comes off as snappy and blunt. She is unused to being in crowds, and at her best is on edge and jumpy when with lots of dragons. Introverted and aloof, Firebug doesn't get along with other dragons easily because of her inexperience dealing with them. Firebug quite literally lights up at night, her flamsilk attributes giving off a warm glow. Her new wings resemble those of a monarch butterlfy, black with orange like the rest of her but with pale spots as well. Her dark scales became littered with orange and yellow freckles, with her underbelly, antenna, horns, and spines glowing orange as well.
Only her eyes had color, being a warm orange.Ĭrawling out of her cocoon her flamesilk abilities really showed. Before going through metamorphosis her scales were purely dark, grey with black stripes.
