gonna repost the overarching headcannons from my last post so that the new ones make sense-
hc #1- the title "lady _" is passed down from ruler to ruler and it isn't their original name if they have a number after it.
hc #2- the ladies aren't all relatives of wasp, but rather dragons she selected as fit to rule a hive.

Lady Bloodworm- She is widely considered to be the worst hive ruler of all time, possibly worse than Wasp herself. Bloodworm is a menace to society and to the citizens of her own hive. Her hive has the infamous one-per-family rule where each family must sacrifice a member to work on Bloodworm’s pet projects around the hive. She was chosen to be a hive ruler because of her brutality and subsequent usefulness in the war. Like her namesake, she has copper grills that make her breath reek of blood.

Lady Mantis II- As the newest member of the hive rulers, Lady Mantis the Second has a lot of bright ideas about how to improve her hive. Unfortunately, Lady Mantis the First was assassinated for trying to enact these same ideas years prior. The fate of this young leader will be determined in how well she can disguise her hive improvement plans as as routine maintenance… if she succeeds, maybe Mantis Hive will be the first hive to have city-wide running water, and other such pipe dreams.

Lady Cicada- Because of her relation to her sister (Queen Wasp) Cicada had first choice when choosing herself a hive. She chose a location as far away from the Queen as she could. She dislikes Wasp's regime if only because if means more responsibility for her. She used to be able to get away with hoarding art, lounging around, and generally making the royal family disappointed with her, but now she has to like... do stuff. Like finances. And infrastructure. And figuring out a creative way to punish misbehavers without actually killing them. Murder is so gauche, so she compromised with Wasp to find a temporary fate worse than death so that she wouldn't have to go through all the boring paperwork involved in executions.
