Daughter queens are usually young queens who haven't taken a consort yet, so are seen as having less responsibility/authority, though that varies a lot from court to court. Celadon is technically still a daughter queen in Opal Night but is given a lot of responsibility by Malachite. Once a queen takes a consort, she becomes a sister queen and is expected to take on more duties and to be a stand-in for the reigning queen if needed.
I would like to know why Indigo Cloud (the court) decided to leave their colony tree and try to establish a new court someplace else?
The Reaches at that time was having problems with disease and food shortages which they believed to be due to overpopulation.
