"Stop, Io. Stop worrying. We got everyone out of Mantis Hive and safely into hiding. We'll save the SilkWings here, too."
— Cinnabar to Io, The Dangerous Gift

Cinnabar is a female SilkWing who was introduced in The Hive Queen. She was a member of the Jewel Hive Chrysalis and worked as a cook for Lady Jewel. She and Io attempted to help the SilkWings that were not under the control of the othermind, but they were captured before being freed when Luna destroyed the consciousness of the othermind.

Description[]

Cinnabar has burnt, dark[1] orange scales with glints of dark red under her wings and along her spine, making her look almost like a HiveWing.[2] She has dark orange claws[3] and is rather small.[4][1]

Personality[]

Cinnabar is kind,[5] outspoken,[6] and sympathetic.[7][8] She believes that HiveWings could be good;[9] however, she is disapproving of Tau and Treehopper's relationship.[10]

Biography[]

The Lost Continent Prophecy[]

The Hive Queen[]

Cinnabar was part of the Jewel Hive Chrysalis and first appeared when Cricket, Blue, Sundew, and Swordtail hid in the Jewel Hive library. When Queen Wasp arrived through a mind controlled HiveWing soldier, she eventually exposed herself along with Tau and apologizing for sneaking out to read in the library to cover. When Wasp persisted that she saw blue wings, Cinnabar explained that it was her cousin Morpho who had come to scold the two and had just left; she also added that it may have been the blankets they were using. She and Tau were then taken away to be "punished" by Lady Jewel. Later, when Cricket used the flamesilk, she and Tau helped Cricket up into the kitchen. She explained to Cricket that whenever Wasp ordered Lady Jewel to punish them, she gave them a medal instead.

The Poison Jungle[]

Cinnabar was with Io briefly in the SapWing throne room when they were getting ready to depart for the Distant Kingdoms. She immediately decided to stay with Io to save and help the unaffected SilkWings left behind on Pantala.

The Dangerous Gift[]

Cinnabar was mentioned in one of the visions that Snowfall had through the gift of vision. She was talking to Tau about the war and worried that she would get hurt with her damaged wing.

In another of Snowfall's visions, Cinnabar talked to Io and reassured her that the SilkWings would be safe. She and Io then traveled to Cicada Hive to rescue the trapped SilkWings, not knowing there was a trap set up for them.

The Flames of Hope[]

Cinnabar was mentioned to have tried to warn the SilkWings from the Hives other than Bloodworm Hive, Jewel Hive, and Mantis Hive.

Relationships[]

Io[]

Cinnabar is reassuring towards Io, and they are physically affectionate.[8]

Tau[]

Cinnabar cares a lot for Tau, and wants her to stay safe. They are quite physically affectionate.[11] They work together to help Cricket find out how Queen Wasp mind controls the HiveWings.[12]

Quotes[]

"No! We need every dragon we can get on our side! I'd rather have fifty SilkWings who are at least trying to do the right thing than three who are perfect in every way by your standards."
― to Morpho about recruiting for the Chrysalis (The Hive Queen, page 136)

"It's just a rumor. I heard it from a SilkWing who heard it from his cousin who heard it from a traveling theater performer. The whisper is that there's a home for old dragons in Tsetse Hive, where none of them are allowed to leave ever because the queen can't mind-control them."
― to Cricket about there being more uncontrollable HiveWings (The Hive Queen, page 145)

"That's true, […] Even in the kitchen we can tell; it's nonstop sugar orders all day."
― to Swordtail about Lady Jewel getting annoyed when Queen Wasp mind-controls her Hive. (The Hive Queen, page 146)

"Oh, wow. You actually shut Morpho up for a moment. You can definitely be in my Chrysalis."
― to Cricket when she got Morpho to stop talking (The Hive Queen, page 147)

"To be fair, […] we haven't exactly done much at the last few meetings. Or ever. Actually ever. I mean, how can seven dragons change anything? We know there are more SilkWings in other Hives who want to fight back, too. But it's just … everyone's busy with their lives and no one knows what to do and, I don't know, it's overwhelming."
― to Sundew about the Chrysalis (The Hive Queen, page 154)

"I'm sorry, Tau. We talked about this. You knew if there was fighting, you wouldn't be able to join us. It would be too dangerous for you."
― to Tau about the Chrysalis' fight against the HiveWings (The Dangerous Gift, page 119)

"Stop, Io. Stop worrying. We got everyone out of Mantis Hive and safely into hiding. We'll save the SilkWings here, too."
― to Io about the SilkWings of Bloodworm Hive (The Dangerous Gift, page 196)

"Even if that's true, they can't have put all the SilkWings in the Hive under the mind control yet. They don't have enough of the plant to do that. They'll have to grow more, and Sundew said that without Hawthorn or her, it'll take a while."
― to Io about the othermind (The Dangerous Gift, page 196)
