Backstory: Cicada is Queen Chrysalis' second in command in the changeling Hive. Like all high ranking changelings, Cicada was bred within the Hive in the nursery. Her egg hatched at the exact same moment as Chrysalis', and the two grew up very close, rather like sisters. Cicada has seen first hand what happens when changelings don't get enough emotions to feed upon; changelings can survive on regular emotions, like anger, nervousness etc, but they need love to be able to breed and grow. Without love, the Hive would eventually die out as no new changelings would be hatched, and any surviving ones would die off.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Due to the Hive Mind, all changelings can hear the voices of other changelings if they tap into it, tho only the Queen can contact every single changeling effortlessly. Cicada, as Commander, can contact all the other changelings with the use of her jewel necklace which is not only a badge of rank, but also serves as a conduit for the Hive Mind. She can converse effortlessly with Chrysalis, due to their strong sister-like bond. Cicada is fiercely loyal to her queen and very protective of her. She will follow her to her dying breath and feels that all she wants is to be by her Queen's side.
