Huojin

The top of the hierarchy, these fireflies are natural leaders. Respected for the purity of their fires, they are immediately recognized amongst the fireflies as the first class. These individuals are exceedingly rare, as they commonly only choose to breed amongst themselves to preserve the purity of their ancient bloodlines. Over the course of their lives, each prioritizes expanding on their values of leadership. With their gossamer wings and internal fire shining through the glistening skin on their bellies, the Royals easily command any space they float into. Because of their inherent tendency to lead, they often clash with clanmates outside of the firefly subspecies, and with other Royals as well. Often, there are only 2 Royals at most per Kingdom, a patriarch and a matriarch.
