Boxelder

Boxelder is a medium-sized, thin male Hivewing with black and orange scales, a black belly, black horns, light grey claws, black wings with orange striped patterns, and dull orange eyes. His left horn is broken off.

Early Life
Boxelder was born an animus in the Jewel Hive to Cowkiller and Bald, long after the Tree Wars. Before he hatched, a Leafwing animus snuck into the hatchery and attempted to curse his egg and steal his voice. The curse backfired, however and Boxelder stole the Leafwing's voice. He has always had a powerful voice, putting all eyes on him whenever he sang or raised his voice. He discovered Queen Wasp's mind control powers and decided to enchant himself so that it would not affect him. He fell in love and mated with a Silkwing named Four.

The Age of Peace
Boxelder breaks off his own horn and gives it to his brother Tarantula, asking him to take his pregnant mate, Four to Pyrrhia where they will be safe from Queen Wasp's mind control. He is unable to come with them, as he plans to lead the Silkwings to liberation. He speaks before a private congregation of Silkwings, telling them that he will lead them in a rebellion against Queen Wasp. He is later thrown into Lady Jewel's Prison and tortured for attempting to lead a rebellion against Queen Wasp. Sometime during this Four gives birth to Spider, Spinner, Hawkmoth, and Velvet, their four children. Later, the Silkwing rebels break him out of the Prison and they begin to plot a plan of attack on Queen Wasp.
