▍Queen Bee Background Story

Melly Plinius, the Entomologist, has always been a prominent figure in the biology field, partly due to her background. She started off as a poor manor servant before marrying the owner. After he died, she inherited her husband's wealth and became a rising star in the biology field. Such a humble success story never fails to gain attention, especially when she holds a unique perspective in the study of insects, the Pterygota in particular. She seems to possess the ability to maneuver the tiny insects, gaining a deeper understanding of their activities. There are even more rumors about her appearance, for she seldom makes an appearance in public. Her passion lies in the search for peculiar insects, spending her time roaming in dense forests, swamps, and wilderness, rather than attending those pretentious symposiums. In the few times that she did make a public appearance, she always wore an exaggerated gauze hat. Some say she's too ugly to show her face while others say she's so beautiful that she didn't want people to focus on her beauty instead of her research.

Melly Plinius once believed that leaving her village with Joshua Plinius was her metamorphosis.

It was only when she was stung in the old apiary, a place that had once held their sweetest memories, as venom surged through her veins and she writhed at the brink of life and death, that she finally understood that the final metamorphosis of human nature is always born from betrayal.

The birth of Queen Bee does not signify the death of Melly Plinius, but rather her rebirth. It marks a transformative moment in her life, where she emerges stronger and more resilient than ever before. With this newfound strength, she will face the challenges ahead with a determination and resolve that reflect her true inner power.
