Smallscale: Ves Yellow Jacket

I'm doing another one of these, this time with my sword Lesbian wasp.

(Cw: For subjects around neglected and assult.)

Introduction

Ves is a yellow jacket wasp with a bad attitude and a messy past. She's feared by other Miinu because of her intimidating appearance.

Personality

Ves comes of as a mean, cynical woman with a quick temperature and a tendency for violent outbursts. She often scares people with her perpetual scowl and a sharp stinger full of poison.

She is a deeply jaded person that buries the scars of her traumatic past under a veil of bravado and sarcasm, but she will soften up if someone shows her basic respect and kindness. However she tends to push these kind of people away out of a fear of being vulnerable, and aims for a loner lifestyle where no one will bother her.

She is incredibly skilled with the sword, having been trained for fighting her whole life. She also has some skills with weapon smithing, as she crafted a rapier from a nail with ease.

History

Ves was a twin, hatched from a rare process of two embryos forming in the same egg. The problem, she and her twin sister Vee were also young Queen yellow jackets, princesses that were due to inherit the massive Yellow Jacket hive.

The colony's laws dictated that only the eldest and strongest Queen may inherit the throne and in the instance of a competeting Queen challenging their position, the two would fight to the death. This was interpreted to mean the girls must fight each other to the death, ans the strongest of the two would inherit the throne.

Their mother decided to take a backseat in raising the girls, having them be raised by their nanny, and only appearing in their lives to train them them to fight. She would give the twin who did better in training more love and attention, stirring competition between them, but that didn't stop them the twins from having a special bond with each other. Despite this, it was always Vee who performed better than Ves.

As they became adults, the time came for them to duel. Ves has accepted that she would likely die, but still decided to fight as valiantly as possible for her own dignity. It wasn't until she got a fatal wound against her sister that Vee revealed that she couldn't go through with killing Ves, and threw the fight so she'd have a chance to go on living. With her bleeding out, Ves had no other choice but to end her suffering and claim victory.

However, this moment forever soured her perspective on the cruelty and violence that surrounded her colonies culture. And as she prepared for her coronation it became clear that all it was for was so she could spend the rest of her life producing children for a hive she grew to hate more and more every passing day.

Her final straw was when she met with some suitors, drones from other hives that were prepared to become her mate. When she was alone with a few of them, they pressured her into intimacy, backing her into a corner and refusing to take no for an answer. With no other way out, she defended herself by lashing out with her sword, violently murdering the suitors and causing a bloodbath. To say this was bad for relations with other hives would be an extreme understatement.

A fight broke out between Ves and her mother, which ended in Ves abandoning her hive and runming away. Ever since, she's been living on her own on the outskirts of a village where the residents fear her and spread rumors about her being dangerous.

Physical

Ves is a Miinu woth wasp traits, dark grey skin and short golden hair. Her skin is marked with old, faded scars. She often bandages her body to hide her markings that reveal what lineage she is from. She dresses down to avoid people associating her with royalty.

She has a venomous singer that can deliver an extremely painful poison into the body. She can also use her saliva to coat her sword in the same poison.
