"That is mine. I deserve it. I took the rest of the SandWing treasure. I tricked Mother into flying to her death alone. I used my brain to get out of facing Burn in a challenge duel, by turning our fight into a war. I am the smartest dragon in Pyrrhia. I am the rightful SandWing queen."
— Blister to the dragonets of destiny, The Brightest Night

Blister was an adult female SandWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy. She was one of the three rival sisters who fought for the SandWing throne during the War of SandWing Succession, and was considered one of the deadliest and most cunning dragons in Pyrrhia during her lifetime. She was killed by the Eye of Onyx after attempting to steal it from Thorn during The Brightest Night.

Description[]

Blister had yellow[1] and white-gold scales[2] as pale as desert sand, with a pattern of black diamond scales running down her spine[3] that writhed as she moved.[4] She had cold,[5] glittering,[6] obsidian-black eyes[7] and a snake-like gaze,[8] as well as a long, cunning face[3] and a serpentine figure.[9] Her voice was cold,[7] hard,[10] purring,[11][6] icy,[12] and slithering,[13] with a strange hiss to it.[2] Her eyes glittered with danger[6] and malevolence.[14]

She was smaller than Burn, with an eerie stillness about her,[15] like a venomous snake about to strike.[3] She had no scars,[16] but Blister's pitch-dark eyes were similar to her sisters'.[17] She resembled her brother, Smolder, as they shared the same narrow face, lidded dark eyes, and black scale patterns.[18] Her tail was once described to move across the floor like a snake.[19] She had a forked black tongue,[20] and an aura of menace seemed to surround her.[6]

Personality[]

She was dry,[21] planning,[22] unperturbed,[23] clever,[24] hypnotizing,[15] sinister,[25] sly,[26] malevolently scrutinizing,[27] and considered hybrids to be "cross-contamination" within her army.[28] She was secretive,[29] menacing,[12] malevolent,[30] careful,[31] paranoid,[32] calm,[33] glowering,[34] smooth, cold,[35] intelligent, devious,[36] fearless,[37] and had very effective torture methods during the war.[38] She held her chin high,[6] and an aura of menace seemed to surround her; even beside dragons larger than herself, she was the most terrifying dragon present.[6] Glory implied that Blister was one of the scariest dragons in Pyrrhia[39] and described her as a "claws-on" kind of dragon.[40] Her face often concealed her emotions, but strong feelings such as displeasure were sometimes barely hidden.[41] Ostrich mentioned that Blister always looked like she was murdering others with her eyes,[42] and Six-Claws thought that she had an analytic and categorizing mind.[7] She could hold a conversation, but often made other dragons feel uneasy within her presence.[43] She often used flattery to gain the trust of others.[26] She kept her allies by tricking them into spying on each other and punished any signs of insubordination or weakness with instant death.[44] Tsunami believed that Blister would happily kill off her own dragonets if she thought it was necessary.[22] Blister believed she was the smartest dragon in Pyrrhia and that she was the rightful queen of the SandWings.[45]

Biography[]

Pre-Series
Blister was the second oldest daughter of Queen Oasis and was also the least trustworthy of her three children. Oasis had always thought that Blister would be the one to challenge her, ever since she learned becoming queen was as simple as killing her mother. After Oasis — who she tricked into fighting alone — was killed at the hands of a scavenger, Blister stole all of the SandWing treasure and became embroiled in a conflict for the SandWing throne with her two sisters, Burn and Blaze. She also had Smolder, her brother and hatchmate, who sided with Burn and his now-deceased brothers, Scald and Singe. To compensate for Blaze and Burn, she allied with the SeaWings (also temporarily sided with the MudWings, but due to Commander Tempest's assassination, they left to Burn instead due to Deathbringer's cleverness), and later, secretly with the NightWings.

The Dragonet Prophecy[]

The Dragonet Prophecy
BlisterMorrowseer

Blister allying with Morrowseer

After Morrowseer freed Starflight from the Sky Kingdom and gave him orders, he proceeded to the edge of the Kingdom of the Sea to talk with Blister and Kestrel, presumably near her hideout. There, Morrowseer revealed his and the other NightWings' plot to make her the Queen of the SandWings. Blister killed Kestrel by stabbing her in the heart so that there would be no one who could reveal their plans. After watching Kestrel die in agony, she schemed to eliminate Webs, and asked Morrowseer to give her the dragonets, in return for giving him (and herself), everything that they ever wanted.
The Lost Heir

Blister visited the Summer Palace to concur with Queen Coral and to check up on Anemone's progress with her powers. While she was there, she met the dragonets of destiny for the first time, who happened to be sleeping in her cave. Blister decided to have breakfast with the dragonets, attempting to get to know them better and convince them to choose her as the SandWing queen. During the breakfast, Tsunami told the other dragonets that the dead SkyWing was Kestrel. She noticed that Blister knew that Kestrel's throat was slashed, despite apparently having not seen the body or had someone tell her. Tsunami and Starflight both figured out that Blister was Kestrel's murderer. Afterward, Blister watched Anemone's animus training, saying it was "impressive, but not much more than last time." After leaving the session, Blister spotted an unnatural movement in the Summer Palace canopy. Believing it was a spy, she flew up to the canopy and revealed the dragon to the others, who happened to be Webs. After Blister realized who Webs was, she remembered the plan to kill the dragonets' guardians and convinced Coral to execute Webs (as well as Riptide, who was found working with Webs).

A little while later, she, Coral, Moray, Anemone, Auklet, and the dragonets of destiny were all sitting on a beach. When Tsunami suggested that the dragonets leave the Kingdom of the Sea, Blister and Coral decided to lock them up in the prison. When the Summer Palace was attacked, she aimed for Webs' heart, but missed. However, she severely scratched Webs with her tail as he was trying to escape, critically injuring him, in an attempt to kill him for the plan. Though the wound itself was not fatal, the venom was, and Webs suffered from it after their escape.

She reappeared in the epilogue, standing over the now-destroyed Summer Palace with Morrowseer. Nautilus and Morrowseer explained the plan for the false dragonets to her, and she ordered Starflight and Tsunami to be killed.
The Hidden Kingdom

In the prologue, Nautilus recounted the Dragonet Prophecy to Squid, explaining how the dragonets of the prophecy have to choose between Blister, Burn, and Blaze to be the queen of the SandWings and end the war.

While heading to the Rainforest Kingdom, Glory questioned Blister's motive for wanting to kill Webs. Later, when the dragonets were meeting Blaze, Glory pondered on what would happen if they chose Blaze to be the SandWing queen, as well as whether Blister knew more about the prophecy than the dragonets. After Deathbringer revealed that he was sent to kill some of the dragonets, Starflight deduced that it was due to his failure to convince the dragonets to choose Blister.
The Dark Secret
Blister appeared in the epilogue, examining a scavenger den, while being frustrated at Morrowseer for not showing up. Meanwhile, Nautilus came to speak with her, bringing along his son, Squid, whom Morrowseer had left to die in the mountains. She pondered about her lost alliance with the SeaWings, who had hidden away after the attack on the Summer Palace and had not contacted her ever since. Blister also had no way to contact her NightWing allies, due to Morrowseer keeping the location of the NightWing island a secret. Blister, cut off from her SeaWing and NightWing allies, decided that her next course of action was to hunt down the dragonets of destiny.
The Brightest Night

In the prologue, Oasis saw Blister on the way to fight the scavengers, and told her to wake Burn and get her to help fight them.

Later, Sunny used the Obsidian Mirror to spy on Blister, but only heard the part where she was asking where Morrowseer was and discussing a part of her plan to kill Burn.

Blister was invited to Burn's stronghold by the dragonets of destiny for the choosing of the SandWing queen in The Brightest Night. She gave Burn a gift, but Burn recognized the sound of the dragonbite vipers that were inside. Burn pinned one of them in her talons but did not realize that there were two, and the second one killed her, with Blister watching in delight.

Blister then attacked Blaze, knowing that she was the last obstacle to the throne, and easily overpowered her, giving her a few bleeding wounds and planning on toying with her before finishing her off. The two sisters stopped fighting, however, when Sunny gave Thorn the Eye of Onyx and declared her, the new queen of the SandWings.

Blister's death

Angered, Blister revealed the full extent of her plan — from tricking Queen Oasis into flying to her death, to turning the fight over the throne into a worldwide war, to getting around a duel with Burn, using the dragonbite vipers. She said that she was the smartest dragon in Pyrrhia and should be queen and grabbed the Eye from Thorn. However, an unknown enchantment on the Eye caused it to become electrified, and she was shocked to death, collapsing to the ground and exploding into a pile of dust.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy[]

Moon Rising
While the Jade Mountain Academy SandWing students were discussing the recent war, Onyx indirectly mentioned Blister when she said that none of the three sisters were good candidates for the throne.
Winter Turning
Glory briefly mentioned Blister while she was trying to discourage the Jade Winglet from searching for Scarlet by themselves. Later, while the Jade Winglet and Pyrite were searching for Scarlet, Qibli gave the group his retelling on how the dragonets defeated Blister and Burn.
Escaping Peril
Blister was briefly mentioned when Peril thought that Scarlet had been kept from killing dragons by fear upon hearing what had happened to her and Burn.
Talons of Power
While explaining to Turtle why she killed Whirlpool, Anemone explained that he would have told Coral and Blister about how powerful her animus magic was.
Darkness of Dragons
While Thorn was battling Onyx, Qibli remembered how the Eye of Onyx had killed Blister a few months ago.

The Lost Continent Prophecy[]

The Dangerous Gift
After Glacier asked her daughters to promise that they will not have their kingdom fight in a war similar to the War of SandWing Succession for the IceWing throne, Snowfall thought how Mink knew little about the War of SandWing Succession and would not be able to name Blister and her sisters since she was only two years old.

Winglets[]

Assassin
Blister met Commander Tempest and Swamp in the Bay of a Thousand Scales as Deathbringer went on his first assignment. She was described as being the scariest dragon on the island, even with Tempest standing next to her. She discussed her secret alliance being formed with the MudWings before Deathbringer stopped her by killing Tempest and attaching a note to the MudWing spear.
Deserter

Blister plotted with Burn to kill Blaze, using a crown to lure her out into the desert, all while knowing that a sandstorm was about to blow in soon. However, the plot had failed, due to Six-Claws going out of his way to save Blaze. After he had rescued her, Blister offered to give him some impossible missions that would most likely kill him, before Char offered him a position in his army. After Queen Oasis died, Blister and Burn both claimed that they were going to challenge her soon. Burn offered to duel with Blister, but Blister objected that it would not be fair to Blaze.

When Six-Claws was leading his battalion in search for Blaze, Burn arrived and announced that the MudWings have dropped their alliance with Blister.

Field Guides[]

A Guide to the Dragon World

Blister was mentioned in Coral’s scroll about the War of SandWing Succession. She was later mentioned in Anemone’s letter as being the only dragon who was not a SeaWing Anemone had met before going to Jade Mountain Academy.

Blister was later mentioned in the SandWing chapter on the poster about missing SandWing treasure that she could have possessed during the war. She was also mentioned in Smolder’s observations about Rose.

Relationships[]

Blaze[]

Blister was completely willing to murder Blaze in order to eliminate a possible heir to the SandWing throne.[46]

Burn[]

Blister liked Burn much more than Blaze, but the two did not have a good relationship and were enemies during the war. Blister knew that she would not win against Burn in a regular challenge for the throne, so she killed Burn by tricking her with two dragonbite vipers.

Coral[]

While Coral smiled at[47] and referred to Blister as her friend, Blister quickly removed herself from Coral's physical affections,[43] and referred to her as "Coral," while the SeaWing queen always referred to her ally as "Queen Blister." Tsunami disliked the way that they acted towards one another,[48] and Blister was willing to use false affection towards Coral to manipulate her feelings and decisions.[5] She was disrespectful towards Coral[49] and could not care less what happened to Coral's daughters,[14] and was slightly bored when discussing ways to save Coral's future heirs.[50]

Morrowseer[]

Blister worked with Morrowseer on plans to take the SandWing throne, in exchange for her help to conquer the Rainforest Kingdom. Blister was sometimes frustrated at Morrowseer for not coming to meetings on time.

Oasis[]

Blister did not have a good relationship with her mother, as Oasis knew that she was a threat. Oasis suspected that she would be the one to try for the throne the moment she hatched. Blister similarly disliked her mother, claiming that she wanted to slash her throat once or twice in her lifetime.[5]

Quotes[]

"I like that. A traitor in their midst. Tear them apart from the inside. My kind of plan."
― to Morrowseer about Starflight and the dragonets of destiny (The Dragonet Prophecy, epilogue)

"Not a problem. What's one more dead dragon here or there on my way to the throne?"
― to Morrowseer (The Dragonet Prophecy, epilogue)

"I'm sure you've heard things about me, too. But you can't always trust rumors and propaganda, especially when it comes to a big responsibility like the prophecy. So ask me anything you like. I'd be delighted to help you make your decision — although of course I hope you'll choose me."
― to the dragonets of destiny (The Lost Heir, page 192)

"Forgive her, Coral. It can be very shocking, seeing a dead body of a dragon you know. Especially when you've probably wanted to slash her throat yourself once or twice in your lifetime — right, Tsunami? I know I felt that way about my mother most of the time."
― to Coral, about Tsunami forgetting to tell her who Kestrel was (The Lost Heir, page 202)

"Don't you have one more question for them? Why they killed all of your heirs. I mean, obviously it was them, right? Working together. It's the perfect climax to the story. Just like one of your brilliant mysteries. The Claws of Murder, for instance. Or A Tail of Blood. That one was genius. It was so that Tsunami could return as the only living heir, of course. If they killed off all the other possible heirs, she would become more and more valuable. A bargaining chip if they ever needed it. A powerful tool when they wanted to use her."
― to Coral about Riptide and Webs (The Lost Heir, page 224-225)

"You have no right to this throne. The Eye of Onyx is mine."
― to Thorn (The Brightest Night, page 297)

"For now, I'm finally just one step away from the throne that is rightfully mine. And that step, of course, is killing you."
― to Blaze (The Brightest Night, page 285)

"How interesting. I wonder if anyone involved would consider it. Peace by negotiation. How … undragonly."
― to Gill (Assassin)

"SandWings, search the island. Thoroughly. Turn over every log; climb every tree; wade into every pool. Find the dragon who did this. It will be a SkyWing, or an IceWing, or one of my sisters' SandWings — any SandWing who doesn't belong here. When you find that dragon, bring it to me, and I will kill it, and then we can move on from this foolish distraction."
― to her soldiers (Assassin)
