Oeco the Weaver Ant Worker

Description

This is Oeco, a Weaver Ant (tan / red, not green-based.) worker. He lives with Chryso, Katy and Ilen, basically as a house-keeper, friend, and overall helper.

His story is kind of tragic, and once again, Ilen the rescuer, took him in when no one else would.

Oeco was born a typical worker in his colony, and looked like any other baby. But as he grew, it was obvious he was softer, and less capable than the other worker children. When he was old enough to be put on the weaving crew, using silk to repair and create the colony's homes, it was quickly discovered that Oeco was very clumsy. Somehow managing to break three nests, and split five walls of silk, he was swiftly taken off of the building crew, and placed with the larvae - feeding them, entertaining and watching them. He wasn't to be trusted with anything else. But somehow he even managed to ruin that job, and was banished from the colony, personally by the queen. Ashamed and in exile, Oeco proceeded to the Bug Market, in hopes he could find something to do, that he wouldn't mess up. Being as vulnerable as he was, he caught the eye of many unwanted creatures, including a gang of rather deviously reputed wasps. On his fourth day scouring the market for some trade he could learn safely, he was captured by the gang of wasps, and they quickly started to torture and torment the little ant. Having heard someone's cries of pain and despair, Ilen abandoned his stall in the market in search of the commotion. Ilen found it, and found the little ant in the middle of being gang-raped by a total of 4 wasps. Ilen seethed, and fought the wasps off, and cradled the small ant in his strong arms, and took him back to his market-stall, hiding him in the back corner, curtains keeping him from view. When the time came to go home, Ilen wouldn't let the ant go anywhere but home with him. The ant gratefully agreed, shaking warily from his ordeal. The ant has been with the trio, mastering the trade of endearing silk weaves Ilen forms with small gems. That much, he could do without screwing it up. And he did that happily. Ilen fell for the little ant, and the ant for him, and now they are partners, in business, and love.
