Burnet is an adult female SilkWing who was introduced in The Lost Continent. She is Blue's biological mother, Luna's stepmother, and Silverspot's partner. Her former partner was Admiral.
Personality
Burnet is very loving towards her partner and children, but does not seem to be an adept mother. She seems to prefer following the rules.[1]
Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
The Lost Continent
Burnet was mentioned to work on strengthening the silk bridges, where the SilkWings lived. She was also mentioned to work as a night crew, which was why she had been gone since midnight. It was stated that both Burnet and Silverspot were the former assigned partners of Admiral. However, he was supposedly "whisked away to another Hive once there were eggs," which was presumably a lie of Queen Wasp's to cover up the truth about the flamesilks. The queen gave Burnet her partner of choice, Silverspot, although dragons who loved each other were usually separated.
Burnet was present for Luna's Metamorphosis and saw her being taken away by HiveWing guards. She watched as Io helped Blue escape the queen's grasp, wearily saying that it would probably be better for Blue to just turn himself in. She made no attempts to save her son when he and Io escaped the Cocoon.
The Hive Queen
Burnet was indirectly mentioned by Blue when he stated that he missed his moms.
The Dangerous Gift
Burnet was mentioned by Blue to be in the Hatchery with all the other SilkWings until there was enough breath of evil ready for them. Snowfall recounted this event about Blue and his mothers later.
The Flames of Hope
Burnet was mentioned by Swordtail as one of the SilkWings he was guarding when Luna used the dreamvisitor to talk to him. Later, Burnet and Silverspot were reunited with their children and Luna introduced them to Cricket as a new member of their family, though a bit hesitant towards her.
Relationships
Admiral
Burnet was Admiral's partner at one point and had Blue with him.[2] Soon after, Admiral was moved to another Hive, later revealed to be Wasp Hive. They were never shown to have real feelings toward each other.
Blue
Blue is Burnet's son, who she loves dearly. Blue constantly thought and worried about her when he was a fugitive on the run from Wasp.
Cricket
Although Burnet seems hesitant about her son's and Cricket's relationship, she supports the pair.
Silverspot
It was stated by Blue that Burnet and Silverspot "loved each other more than they could ever have loved Admiral," and that their partnership worked out for the best.[2]
