Character Summary: 

Wasp was born to Lily'mist alongside her brother Aphid, the litter's father is Shadow'whisker, though he doesn't act like it much. Lily was AroAce and never wanted a mate, but she did want kits, so she asked Shadow to be the donor of her litter and he accepted because he wanted to carry on his bloodline. The main interactions Shadow has with his kits are him looking at them judgmentally whenever they do something that doesn't live up to his expectations.

Despite how Wasp's father acts, Wasp desperately wanted his attention growing up. Shadow was a strong tom and was close to the great Spider'web! Shadow's judgment towards her and her brother left them with some extreme insecurities that manifested as anger and spite towards others.

This only got worse once Wasp and Aphid were made trainees and Lily'mist and her brother Sheep'puddle disappeared. Monarch Spider'web and her followers, including Shadow'whisker all claimed that Lily and Sheep had abandoned the Kinship and were cowards. Wasp, had extreme trust towards her elders and the leaders of the Kinship, she was and is completely bought into the Spider'web propaganda. The majority of the Kinship also bought this story, so she believed them because why would they lie? why would the kinship believe it if it want true? They were devastated by her mother "abandoning" her and along with this, the majority of the kinship were now extra judgmental to the kits of the Kinship traitors. This made her want to try even harder to be more like her father rather than their mother.

Wasp feels the judgement of the kinship, and they desperately want to prove herself, she wants to be a respected and great member of the Kinship, she wants approval from the more popular members of the kinship. Wasp feels they are being dragged down by being tied to her brother Aphid, Aphid is considered the weakest of the trainees, and the kits of the Warden, Bone and Ash are often cruel to the tom. Wasp is desperate for Bone and Ash's approval however and as a result is often just as cold and spiteful towards her bother in hopes of proving herself to not be like him. They have yet to win their favor, but this only makes her more desperate.

Basically she's placing blame on the wrong people and becoming a little teenaged monster because of her mommy and daddy issues heh...

Also... Really, deep down Wasp knows there is something off about the kinship, she knows that there is something off about the story told about her mother and uncle... but they refuse to even think about it, she cant bear to shatter her idea of the kinship... and they cant bear the thought of what actually could have happened to her mother.
