Changeling Young Queen Adopt

Must be a Young Queen in the Kirinaria Mercenary group.

Explanation:

Queens are the only changelings that lay eggs in the swarm, and therefore they are the mothers of every changeling. Young Queens are future queens that have not yet reached maturity and can't reproduce yet. During Queen Chrysalis's reign, she would imprison the young queens so that they could not reproduce or leave the hive, therefore keeping them as mere emergency solutions if something were to happen to herself. If Queen Chrysalis were to die without any spare queens, the changeling race would come to an end.

During Thorax's reign, the queens became merely a different kind of changeling. Being set free, they made many queens and they became more common. Still, they were the only kind of changeling that could produce eggs.

After the great cataclysm, things changed. The big population of the hive could not be maintained, and yet they freaked out and decided that all queens must be protected. Laying queen eggs seemed to be draining for queens, and leave them unable to lay other eggs for long period of times, so they agreed that queens would only be allowed to lay queen eggs when they wanted to retire.

Now, there are just 4 queens left in the hive. They are highly protected. When one decides to retire, she must at all costs lay a queen egg, for a new queen to take her place. They do not hold much power, the name of "queen" is merely honorary. The lifespan of a queen is much longer than that of a regular changeling. They only fall in love once in their lifetime, and they will produce hundreds of eggs throughout their life.

The hive is mostly made up of the children of just four queens. Rarely, regular changelings are able to lay a 1 to 3 eggs but those have a much lower chance of survival and hatching successfully.
