'''Apista''' is [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]'s [[Ashfire Bees|Ashfire Bee]].

==Appearance==
Apista is a little bit bigger than the size of two hands joined together, which is larger than the average Ashfire Bee which are as big as a hand.<ref name="6.08">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/16/6-08/ Chapter 6.08]</ref> Her stinger was originally a little barb, but it was enhanced, becoming bigger with a crimson tint after Lyonette gained the [Crimson Stinger].<ref>{{VERef|5.45}}</ref>

She lost a wing and some of her legs at the [[Meeting of the Tribes]]. Later, she was given tiny peg legs and artificial wings, sent by [[Niers Astoragon]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/12/11/interlude-the-first-and-last-of-us/ Interlude - The First and Last of Us]</ref> 

In her Ashbringer Scourgebee form, Apista is much larger, with six legs and four wings. Her fur is bright orange, and her stinger is described to be "like the death of faces."<ref>{{VERef|10.15}}</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
Having drunk the magical nectar of the [[Faerie Flowers|faerie flowers]] on a regular basis, Apista's mana reserves have increased, allowing her to create hotter, brighter flames which also won't extinguish as quickly compared to other ashfire bees.<ref name="6.08" /> She attached the remains of [[Belavierr Donamia|Belavierr]]'s Naq-Alrama needle to her stinger, letting her sting past magical protections.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/26/interlude-the-pets-of-innworld/ Interlude - The Pets of Innworld]</ref> She became able to use Erin's memory flames, and inspired by [[Valeterisa Imarris|Valeterisa]]'s feat of lifting [[Fissival]], she can use flames to propel herself like a small rocket, regaining her ability to fly after she lost her wing.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/10/09/9-19/ Chapter 9.19]</ref>

==Trivia==

*Apista's name was revealed in [[Chapter 4.07|Ch 4.07]].
*Erin suggested several potential names for the bee, with "Apista" being the one Lyon settled on, though Erin had been holding out for Beeyonce, or Pudge.<ref name=":4.07">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/30/4-07/ Chapter 4.07]</ref>

*Apista is capable of playing chess, even once beating Mrsha in a game, which is either a testament to Apista's intelligence, or Mrsha's ineptitude at the game<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/22/8-43/ Chapter 8.43]</ref>
*Apista's use of flames to propel herself also provided inspiration for [[Rags]] to create the new Spell [Apista’s Jetflame] -- one of the few Skills directly referencing an individual's name.<ref name=":0" /> Both Rags and Erin are able to cast the spell.<ref>{{VERef|9.70 (Pt. 2)}}</ref>
