Cricket

Cricket is a female HiveWing dragonet. She is the main protagonist of The Hive Queen.

Cricket’s Backstory
Cricket was born to Katydid and Malachite with no siblings. She was raised in Cicada Hive, but she was also raised thinking that her grandmother, Cadelle, was her real mother, and that Katydid was her sister. At the age of two, she realized that she could not be mind-controlled by Queen Wasp, but didn’t know why. This resulted in somewhat freedom for Cricket, but also a dangerous threat, as any of the controllable HiveWings could find out and punish, or even kill, her. So, whenever Wasp used the mind-control ability, Katydid would quickly hide her before she became controlled herself.

Later, at the age of six, a SilkWing dragonet known as Luna became captured by HiveWings due to her being a flamesilk. Luna’s brother, Blue, was also being chased by HiveWings, not knowing why their eyes were all white. Blue accidentally ran into the area that Cricket was in, and, although at first he was afraid, he realized that she (Cricket) was a friend. Then, Cricket managed to break Blue’s armband (the armband would would make him paralyzed when he tried to run away), and she also helped him escape Cicada Hive.

Appearance
Cricket has golden-yellow scales that blend into a somewhat more orange shade nearing her back, tail, and arms. She has much paler, more creamier yellow underbelly, with dark, orange-brown scales separating the main scales from the underbelly scales. Her (large, curved) horns, (hooked) claws, (jagged) spikes (running down her back), (curved) snout, and flecks (scattered along her main body) are jet-black. Her talons have a splotch of gold on each of them, and her wing talons are shades of dark brown. Her actual wings are semi-transparent and have veins of black in them.

Blue
Cricket helped Blue in TLC from the mind controlled HiveWings.

Trivia

 * Cricket cannot be controlled by Queen Wasp because Katydid marked her egg so Wasp couldn't poison Cricket's egg.
 * She the only non-royal who cannot be controlled, as Bumblebee’s immunity to the mind control is not confirmed.


 * Cricket has romantic feelings for Blue, and he returns her feelings, but neither know of each other's feelings yet.
