#Queen Monarch being a flamesilk isn’t cannon btw it’s a headcannon I have for her

[phantom-of-innaovitch]

About Queen Monarch again, I’ve always had this vivid picture of her in my mind. I’m not sure how much this lines up with cannon, but I picture her as a very young queen who had only recently went through her metamorphosis. The previous Queen could’ve been killed during her time in the cocoon, leaving her to pick up the crown so early. I imagine she’s very anxious. She’s getting used to having her wings and flamesilk, and has to now lead her tribe all while grieving for her mother, and being terrified of the mystery behind her death. It’s all too easy to imagine Wasp praying on her vulnerability. Monarch would look up to her, an experienced and respected queen. And when given the question, truly begins to believe her tribe would be safer under Queen Wasps leadership rather than her own.

Queen Sequoia however, would begin to question Wasp’s recent interest in Monarch and the Silkwings. I imagine she’d become somewhat protective of the the littlest queen as Wasp became more open about her advances. There could’ve previously been tension between the Silkwings and the Leafwings, Queen Sequoia and the previous Silkwing Queen not on the best of terms. She would at first act cold towards Queen Monarch when her reign started, but would begin to warm up after Queen Monarch made an, albeit awkward, attempt at peace. But even without that, Queen Monarch is a dragonet. Only six years old. Sequoia couldn’t consciously ignore a dragonet having their emotions taken advantage of, especially when Sequoia knew Wasp’s end goal was to take over the other tribes.

Queen Wasp would meanwhile be trying to convince Monarch that the Leafwings were dangerous, and that they had to have caused her mother’s death due to tension previously brewing between the two forest-dwelling tribes. Due to the constant pushback between Wasp and Sequoia, along with the stress of handling issues that arose within her own tribe, and the paranoia of whatever could be lurking in the forest. Queen Monarch finally breaks, giving leadership of her tribe over to Wasp. Thus beginning the start of the Tree Wars.
