"I'll stay with her this time. […] No one else can do it except me. I was right about our incompetent guards. […] I'm going to keep our next daughter alive. […] I'll stay in the hatchery with the egg to keep it safe. […] I'll keep her by my side all the time. Her whole life, if I have to. I'll never leave her alone. She's going to be perfect, Gill, you'll see. […] And we're going to call her Anemone."
— Coral to Gill, Talons of Power

Coral is an adult female SeaWing who was introduced in The Lost Heir. She is the current queen of the SeaWings and is renowned in the Kingdom of the Sea for writing countless scrolls. She was formerly married to King Gill and currently resides in the Deep Palace with her youngest daughter, Auklet. She was formerly allied with Blister during the War of SandWing Succession.

Description[]

Coral is majestic,[2] beautiful,[3] and huge, with blue scales that are nearly identical to the color of Tsunami's.[3] She has enormous blue wings[4] with royal patterns of webbed talon prints underneath them.[5] She smells like sea air and starfish. She has sharp white teeth[6] and a forked tongue.[7] Her eyes are a warm[8] green color,[9] and her neck, chest, and wings are adorned with strands of pearls. She also has a twisted white[3] narwhal horn[10] spear[11] attached to the tip of her tail, black[3] ink[12]-stained claws,[3] and a rumbly voice.[13] Additionally, Coral wears a thin, webbed harness with a long cord[3] that first tied her to her daughter Anemone.[14] Later on, she uses it to tie Auklet to herself.[15]

Personality[]

Coral is vengeful,[6][16] over-protective,[17] menacing,[18][6] commanding,[19] and stern.[20][21] She is also ignorant,[22] fearsome,[23] judgemental,[24] distrustful,[25] and cares greatly for rules and traditions;[26] although none of her subjects were underfed or grumpy like the SkyWings were under Queen Scarlet's harsh rule.[27] She can be insensitive and dismissive,[20][28] and often only cares about imperative information.[29][28]

Coral believes in genetic superiority and views lower-born SeaWings as less than her.[30] She is manipulable[31] and only listens to dragons close to her.[32] She views her own writing highly and believes that all SeaWings should read her work.[33] However, Coral still holds the lives of her subjects above her scrolls.[34]

Biography[]

Pre-Series

Queen Coral had many dragonets, including Anemone, Auklet, Orca, Tsunami, twelve other deceased daughters, Cerulean, Fin, Octopus, Turtle, and twenty-eight other surviving sons with her now-deceased husband, Gill. Queen Coral was challenged for the throne by Orca as soon as she turned seven years old, and although Orca nearly won, Coral eventually killed her by impaling her with the narwhal horn attached to the tip of her tail. However, before challenging her mother, Orca carved and enchanted a statue of herself that was cursed to kill any of the queen's female dragonets, which Coral theorized was done in order to rid herself of potential rivals for the throne. Since Orca's statue was mounted in the Royal Hatchery, it had easy access to its unborn victims. After Orca's death, all of Coral's unhatched daughters would be found dead, their eggshells smashed.

Queen Coral was extremely fond of writing and was the author of countless scrolls. She was the author of The Missing Princess, a scroll written for her long-lost daughter Tsunami. She also wrote a scroll on why she chose Gill as her husband, a tale that she constantly told Anemone. After Orca's death in the challenge, she wrote The Tragedy of Orca to commemorate and remember her daughter. She has also written two murder mysteries called The Talons of Murder, A Tail of Blood, and has authored an informative scroll dubbed On the Differences Between Oysters and Clams.

The Dragonet Prophecy[]

The Dragonet Prophecy
After the dragonets of destiny and their guardian Kestrel escaped from the SkyWing Palace, Kestrel told the group that Tsunami's egg had been stolen by Webs "from the SeaWing queen's own hatchery." Upon hearing the news from Clay, Starflight responded that Coral was thought to be a great queen; unlike Scarlet. Later, Tsunami asked if the others thought that Coral would be happy to see her, Starflight replied that not a single one of Queen Coral's heirs had lived to adulthood thus far. He theorized because of that, she would be glad to meet her long lost dragonet.
The Lost Heir

After Commander Shark, Riptide, and a few SeaWing guards brought Clay, Tsunami, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny to the Summer Palace, they waited for Queen Coral on the top pavilion. Soon after, Coral and Anemone arrived through the underwater tunnel to the Summer Palace, met with respectful bows. Tsunami noticed that Anemone was harnessed to the queen.

Coral, upon seeing her pronounced-dead daughter, hugged Tsunami and called her "my baby." She said that she knew her dragonet would come back, before Anemone interrupted the two as she complained about her claws hurting. Queen Coral licked them quickly and then told Anemone that Tsunami was her previously stolen sister. Tsunami gave them her name of which Coral approved, remarking, "at least Webs did one thing right," before then asking Tsunami where the treacherous SeaWing was. Coral called him a coward and deserter, and stated "it won't be a quick death" in regard to the punishment she had planned for him. Sunny told her not to hurt him, causing Coral to notice the other dragonets and asked, horrified, as to why a MudWing was there. Tsunami said they were her friends, and they were the dragonets of destiny.

Subsequently, Coral suggested that they should meet Blister, and ordered Shark and the guards to imprison Clay, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny in the SandWing Princess's cave. Tsunami tried to convince her mother to reconsider locking her friends up, but Coral told her that it was for their own safety. She stated that the dragonets, or, "guests", as she called them, would be well taken care of and fed by Lagoon, the dragon in charge of preparing food for formal occasions.

Queen Coral gifted Tsunami a necklace of pearls from her collection, and when Tsunami asked to talk alone, Coral dismissed the SeaWing Council. Tsunami inquired upon her hostility towards Riptide, to which Coral replied that the guard's "bloodline is tainted," because Webs was his father. Tsunami noticed that her little sister was still harnessed to the queen, and asked about Anemone. Coral explained to Tsunami that Anemone was to always stay by her side, and suggested that Tsunami should be fitted with a harness as well. Tsunami quickly refused, and proceeded to then explain that she had no knowledge of Aquatic. Coral was very surprised and asked about what Tsunami did know. She described to her mother the things that she learned under the protection of the Talons of Peace, and Anemone asked her mother about when she would get to learn more about those things, like hunting and Pyrrhian history. Coral replied, "when [she] thinks [Anemone is] ready." When they all finished talking about studying, Coral asked Tsunami what the Talons of Peace did to her while she was in their care. Tsunami said they were horrible to her, going into detail about how she and the other dragonets were mistreated as they grew up. Coral sympathized with her, calling Tsunami "My poor, poor baby."

Tsunami asked about the stains on her claws, and Coral took Tsunami to show her the scrolls she wrote. Coral soon showed Tsunami a carving by Princess Orca. Then she remarked that Orca, her first daughter, was a "very talented sculptor." After Tsunami met Whirlpool, Queen Coral hinted she wanted Tsunami to marry him, before giving her some scrolls to read, telling her that she wrote all of them and that the scroll The Missing Princess was written specifically for Tsunami. When Moray came and gives news about a dead SkyWing found "only a few islands from the Summer Palace," Coral got ready to leave, and Tsunami, Anemone, and some other SeaWings come with them. They swim to the body, and Tsunami recognized it as Kestrel. Tsunami was shocked but does not tell her mother who Kestrel is, afraid she would think that the dragonets of destiny killed her.

After they swim back to the Summer Palace, Queen Coral goes to a war meeting on the Council level. Afterward, Queen Coral came and took Tsunami to a room where they, including Anemone, can sleep. The next morning while the queen is still asleep, Anemone talked to Tsunami, but soon they had to end their talk because the queen was waking up. After she fully woke up, Coral and her daughters go to the Council level. She got into the "QUEEN" pool with Anemone, and some other dragons came with food. The queen finally noticed that Tsunami did not have a pool, and told her to enter the pool labeled "DRAGONET CARE" because the dragon that was supposed to be there was absent. When Tsunami ate an octopus tentacle without noticing no one else has started eating yet (because Queen Coral did not give permission), Queen Coral commented that since she was "raised by barbarians," she could not know any better, offending Tsunami. After a while, the queen told Pearl, Shark, and Whirlpool to report to their specific jobs, and told Lagoon to give the dragonets of destiny (excluding Tsunami) the breakfast leftovers. When Princess Moray commented that Queen Coral's scrolls were "the most important subject [the dragonets at school] study," Tsunami was surprised and asked if that was more important than learning how to fight the war. Coral replied, wounded, that her writing is about everything. The queen then told Whirlpool to give Tsunami lessons in Aquatic.

She told Commander Piranha to report, and Piranha replied that there was still no information about the dead SkyWing. Then a war patrol came in and reported that "strange things are happening in the Sky Kingdom" (because of Queen Scarlet going missing), and Tsunami realizes that the SeaWings are both badly hurt. She suggested that someone look at their injuries, so Queen Coral talked with them a little more and then told them to go. The conversation turned to Gill and the Sky Kingdom, and the Council wonders what might have happened in the Sky Kingdom. Tsunami said that that might have been caused by her and the dragonets, causing shock, and when Coral asked her about Gill, Tsunami remembered that she killed him, and said that he died in the arena. Coral told her that Gill was Tsunami's father, and dismissed the council, saying that "[she] must grieve."

Whirlpool took Tsunami for a terribly taught Aquatic lesson, which Tsunami left before it was finished. Then, while going back to Queen Coral, she was mysteriously attacked, her head stuffed in a sack while being attacked with viscous swipes and kicks. After escaping, Tsunami got back to Coral on the library level where she was talking about Gill, and Tsunami told Coral that someone had just tried to kill her. Queen Coral reacted, said that they must protect her eggs, and when they reach the Deep Palace, Coral realized that one of her eggs is broken. She tortured and killed Tortoise, the hatchery's guard, for not protecting the eggs well. Tsunami decided to protect the last remaining egg (Auklet's egg). Queen Coral asked Tsunami what she was doing, because if she failed, Coral would be losing two of her daughters, and claimed the egg would be safe in the hatchery if she put all her guards on it.

Queen Coral then told the two princesses what she did to have Anemone's egg hatch, how she had to leave the Kingdom to King Gill and why he was lost to the war. But then, Tsunami suddenly realized that the cave her friends were in might be flooded from the rain. She goes off with the egg in a harness and Queen Coral was not seen again until after Tsunami freed her friends and goes to sleep in a high, dry cave with them and Sunny protecting the egg. Then they realized that Blister was there, and Blister told Queen Coral where the dragonets were. At breakfast, Tsunami loudly told Queen Coral how her friends were treated, and Queen Coral seemed surprised, but also seemed to secretly be grinding her teeth as well. She sent Lagoon and Shark to the dungeons temporarily as punishment. Later at breakfast, she told Blister about finding Kestrel's body (although she still does not know who the SkyWing was) and Sunny recognized the description as Kestrel, blurting "That sounds like Kestrel!" and forcing Tsunami to uncover what she knew. Coral asked Tsunami why she did not tell her, and Blister "covered" for her, presumably to gain Tsunami and the rest of the dragonets' trust.

Then Queen Coral, Whirlpool, and Anemone go off with Tsunami to show Blister how their secret weapon to end the war was coming along, in which Tsunami realizes that Anemone was an animus. In the demonstration, Whirlpool ordered Anemone to control a pearl necklace. After asking her to stop, she enchanted the necklace to flow away from Whirlpool and later to explode. But a rustle of leaves then caught the attention of Blister, provoking her to fly up to the canopy of leaves, and then ripping in, wrecking the canopy. They discovered that the intruder was Webs. Clay and Tsunami caught him as he was falling in midair and was splashed with seawater after he blacked out. Queen Coral orders anyone else lurking around suspiciously to be brought to them. Riptide was apparently found wandering near the palace in which then provoked Queen Coral to be persuaded and groomed by Blister that those two were working with each other and that they were the egg killers in the royal hatchery. Webs, having a fine for fleeing the war, and stealing Tsunami's egg was sent to prison with Riptide.

Tsunami decided to go back to the hatchery to keep Auklet's egg warm, vowing to keep it protected no matter what the danger. Later that night, Orca's statue attacked Tsunami. Tsunami defeated Orca's statue after a struggle by pinning it down with a narwhal horn and told Queen Coral what happened. Queen Coral is mentioned to have smashed it to bits after Anemone used her magic to uncover the name of the dragon who enchanted it, revealing Orca. She was present when Tsunami names Auklet.

Then Queen Coral decided that the dragonets should go into the dungeons, convinced that it is for their own good with Blister influencing her decision. Anemone comes to visit and enchanted a spear to bring the dragon who tried to kill Tsunami, turning out to be Whirlpool. Anemone shoved him into the water all around them, containing an electrical current due to electric eels. Starflight explained that the eels should have time to recharge their electricity. Tsunami ran through the deactivated prison and freed her friends. Right after the dragonets escaped their cell, the Summer Palace was attacked by the SkyWings and MudWings. She was throwing her scrolls into the water to keep them from burning and sending deadly smoke up. Anemone helped her, and Coral touched her head fondly. Queen Coral was not seen for the rest of the book.
The Hidden Kingdom

In the prologue, Nautilus's train of thought about what the dragonets did when they escaped included turning "Queen Coral against her allies." Later, Glory thought about how she would rather have no mother than one like Queen Coral, "even if she came with pearls."

Afterward, Glory wondered if Blister had promised the SeaWings anything, or if she had manipulated Coral into fighting for her. Tsunami thought of the other queens she had met, and took into note that Queen Coral preferred to have her tribe do their dirty work, unlike Blister and Burn.
The Dark Secret
Queen Coral was mentioned briefly by Starflight when he was talking to Fatespeaker about how treasure is kept in the other Pyrrhian tribes, using the Sky Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Sea as examples. Later in the epilogue, Blister was frustrated that her alliance with Coral and the SeaWings was over as the SeaWings fled to the Deep Palace after the attack on the Summer Palace, with no one having seen her or other SeaWings since. And despite having gone to the ruins of the Summer Palace almost daily, Blister received no messengers or apologetic scrolls sent by Coral.
The Brightest Night
Queen Coral briefly was at Burn's stronghold at the end to watch how the war will turn out, and who would become the queen of the SandWings. She looked relieved when Thorn was declared the new SandWing queen.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy[]

Moon Rising
Queen Coral was dropping Anemone and Turtle off at Jade Mountain Academy. Auklet was also present, asking to go to school with Anemone and Turtle, but Queen Coral said she could not stand having one daughter so far away from home already. She lectured Anemone that if she felt anything bad, she should return home. She also insisted on seeing everything in the school first before letting them go.
Winter Turning
Winter thought about how Turtle was a royal prince as well, him being the son of Queen Coral, even though Turtle never acted like royalty.
Escaping Peril
Turtle mentioned to Peril that he was one of the sons of Queen Coral.
Talons of Power

In the prologue, Queen Coral and King Gill were arguing about the safety of the Royal Hatchery. Queen Coral mentioned that royal SeaWings had been hatching safely there for thousands of years, while Gill was more skeptical of the Hatchery's security.

After returning from a meeting with Blister in the Summer Palace, Queen Coral realized that two more of her daughters had been killed during her time away. Gill tried to apologize, but Coral did not respond. After Gill scolded Turtle for failing to find Snapper in time to save Abalone and his sisters, Queen Coral reminded him that Turtle was only a prince and that Gill should not have expected so much of him, mentioning later that she had already ordered Abalone and Snapper to be executed for failing to successfully guard her daughters. Coral told Gill that their next daughter was going to live, and she was going to stay by her dragonet's side for as long as she needed to. Gill agreed to temporarily take her place as ruler over the Kingdom of the Sea while she raised their next daughter.

When Turtle later visited Queen Coral to apologize about being unable to find Snapper, she tells him that Auklet is perfect, and told him that Snapper had been in the Summer Palace, and not the Deep Palace like she was supposed to be and that it was not his fault that the two princesses died. She later asks his name and after he tells her, she says that she will remember it this time, and wraps him in a hug. Later, a messenger comes and she bids Turtle farewell before leaving.
Darkness of Dragons

Coral was briefly mentioned by Anemone when she was describing the events leading up to Turtle's unveiling, saying, "It was only a little bitty spell, but Darkstalker totally freaked out and sent me home to kill my mother."

In the epilogue, Turtle was reading a letter written by his mother. In her writing, Coral mentioned that she and the SeaWings were building a new palace, one that would be welcome to all tribes and would be a center for diplomacy, trade, and art. She thanked Turtle for ridding the Kingdom of the Sea from Darkstalker's curse and warned Turtle that his brothers were very impressed with his latest practical joke and that he should check his bed for lobsters next time he visited the kingdom. She mentioned that she and Auklet sent Turtle their love and Coral's newest story.

The Lost Continent Prophecy[]

The Dangerous Gift
Coral was mentioned by Snowfall as one of the queens who were trying to extend relationships with Snowfall's dragons. During Snowfall's conversation with Sky, Snowfall thought about how Coral had served sea snails during Snowfall's visit. Coral appeared late at the meeting of queens and agreed that her daughter Tsunami should be the SeaWing representative to Pantala.

Winglets[]

Assassin
Blister asked Commander Tempest if Queen Coral would be attending their meeting, and Tempest responded that Coral had the kingdom to run, and that she would never have to meet with her as long as he was there to handle the summits. Gill, Coral's husband, told Blister that Coral sends her respects, and that she sent Gill to talk about possible peace negotiations. Later, Blister told Gill that she will explain how they will win the war if he brings Queen Coral to her.

Field Guides[]

A Guide to the Dragon World

Coral’s letter to Starflight about the guide was featured in the beginning of the SeaWing chapter. She wrote a scroll specifically for the guide titled How the SeaWings Ended the Great War and Saved the World which was then featured after. The titles and descriptions of her ten most famous scrolls were featured in the guide.

Turtle mentioned Coral in his letter to Starflight, and was also mentioned by Fin in his letter to Turtle, stating that she promised to come to their hatching party and read her next book to them. She was also mentioned in Anemone's letter to Tamarin.

Relationships[]

Anemone[]

Princess Anemone is the second oldest currently living daughter of Queen Coral. She is very attached to Anemone, as she lost several daughters before Anemone hatched. Orca's enchanted statue was killing off her daughters, so she slept next to Anemone's egg in the Royal SeaWing Hatchery for a year. After she hatched, Queen Coral attached a harness to Anemone to ensure that she does not get lost or hurt.

Queen Coral is especially paranoid about losing Anemone. Anemone spent the first year of her life with no independence, freedom, or connections to anyone except her mother. Coral seems unbothered by killing in front of her daughter, which could have been negatively impacting Anemone's mindset. Coral nearly got her a gag to match when Anemone tried to complain. However, they seem to love each other on some level. Queen Coral tries to protect her beloved daughter from what she considers "a dangerous world." Anemone does not show any forms of radical anger towards her mother until Talons of Power. At one point, Anemone calls her mother "crazy."

In Moon Rising, Queen Coral unattached the harness on Anemone and let her stay at Jade Mountain Academy. In Talons of Power, Anemone, who was internally damaged by her mother's over-protective behavior, sought to kill Queen Coral and take the throne. However, she never followed through with her plan.

Auklet[]

Princess Auklet is Coral's youngest daughter, whose egg was saved by Tsunami. Queen Coral seems to love her as much as Anemone. Instead of being afraid every moment of losing her, Coral enjoys simply being with her daughter, and feels at peace knowing Orca's statue was destroyed and her daughters are all safe. Auklet wanted to go to Jade Mountain Academy, but Coral insisted that she was too young to attend.

Blister[]

Queen Coral usually behaved in a weak and spineless attitude around her former ally and obeyed her every decision. She listened to Blister constantly, as though Blister was running the Kingdom instead of herself. It is unknown why Coral chose to support Blister during the War of SandWing Succession. She held a large amount of respect for her ally.

Blister was often seen playing with Coral's emotions and manipulating her decisions. Blister led Queen Coral to let her waste away Anemone's soul daily by allowing excessive animus magic use. At the end of the The Lost Heir, Blister coerced Queen Coral into imprisoning Tsunami. It is not known if Coral regretted these decisions, though it can be inferred that she did. She seemed relieved when Thorn was chosen to be queen, hinting that she may not have really liked Blister nor wanted her to be Queen. It is unknown why she formed an alliance with Blister in the first place.

Gill[]

King Gill was Coral's husband, Coral described Gill as "the perfect king," and she wrote a scroll about why she chose him as her husband. She also said that King Gill had a way with words, as to persuade prisoners in the Sky Arena to lie down, and refuse to fight. They had an astonishing thirty-two sons and sixteen daughters. Gill was mentioned to adore his wife's scrolls. However, Coral could also be quite stubborn with her husband, as seen when she ignored Gill and cut him off when he started to say that having more dragonets might not be a good idea, and told him that they would have a daughter. She also did not seem to care when Gill was appalled that she would have his friend, Abalone, executed, despite the fact that it was not his fault that the eggs were smashed, and when he tried to pull away from her she simply gripped his talons tighter.[1] When Coral learned of his death, her voice sounded hollow. A small smile was shown on her face when recalling memories of him.[35] She referred to him as "My Gill"[36] and immediately dismissed her Council to grieve.[37]

Moray[]

Princess Moray has been described to adore and dote on Queen Coral, treating her like she is the most perfect queen in existence. In return, Coral completely and thoroughly trusts her niece, having the SeaWing on her council and consulting her for other matters. Moray often scrapes and bows at her talons, cleaning up Herring's brother's blood and oozing about how wonderful it must be for Tsunami's return. Their relationship appears to be close. It is unknown why Moray is so submissive towards Coral when she possesses the ability to challenge her for the throne.

Orca[]

Princess Orca challenged Coral for the throne when she was only seven years old. She was about to win until Coral stabbed her with the narwhal horn that was on the tip of her tail. Coral misses and worships her daughter, but she did not know she was secretly an animus. Coral was unaware that Orca enchanted her statue to kill off Coral's heirs. She has sadness in her voice when she talks about Orca.[38]

Riptide[]

Queen Coral does not trust Riptide, as his father, Webs, was a traitor. She later threw Riptide and Webs in prison, although Riptide escaped. After that, he fought for the SeaWings in the battle of the Summer Palace. Queen Coral then said he could escape with his life, but not travel into the Kingdom of the Sea ever again.

Talons of Peace[]

Queen Coral despises the Talons of Peace, as shown when she outlawed Webs from ever coming back to the Kingdom of the Sea again. This hatred stems from Webs, who worked for the Talons of Peace at the time, for stealing Tsunami's egg from the Royal Hatchery. When she found Webs she demanded the location of them confirming she was planning revenge. Since the end of the War of SandWing Succession, however, she has proven willing to at least accept messengers from the Talons.

Tsunami[]

Before Tsunami found Queen Coral, Coral had written a scroll titled The Missing Princess about their happy reunion. When Coral and Tsunami met for the first time at the Summer Palace, they embraced and Queen Coral vowed to always watch and protect her daughter. For example, she wanted to put a "harness" on Tsunami which Tsunami declines. Their first point of friction was when Coral ordered Tsunami's friends, the dragonets of destiny, to be chained and starved. When Queen Coral killed one of the dragons guarding the Royal Hatchery for neglecting her duties under Commander Shark's permission, Tsunami began to doubt her mother's leadership. For most of The Lost Heir, Tsunami and her sister Anemone found much of Coral's behavior over-protective to an unhealthy extent.

Because Princess Tsunami volunteered to protect Coral's egg - even if failure meant Coral killing her, their relationship was already beginning to crumble. Blister managed to convince Coral to imprison Tsunami "for her safety," and Coral finally agreed. Tsunami escaped shortly after. Queen Coral's feelings on this are unknown.

In Moon Rising, Tsunami and Queen Coral meet again when Coral is dropping Princess Anemone off at Jade Mountain Academy. Queen Coral and Princess Tsunami seemed to display a surprising lack of anger towards each other during the encounter. Tsunami seemed annoyed by Coral's paranoia and overprotective nature.

Overall, it is shown that Queen Coral loves Tsunami, and cares for her very much, to the point that she will be extremely overprotective. Upon first meeting Tsunami, Coral cuddled her close and was gentle towards her.[4] Coral loves her,[39] and kept patting her, as if to make sure she was real, after Tsunami returned to the Kingdom of the Sea.[40] However, Coral intentionally belittled Tsunami during a Council meeting.[41]

Turtle[]

Queen Coral did not show much love for her son at first. As he was one of her thirty-two sons, she did not pay attention to him or even know his name. After Turtle came back to the Kingdom of the Sea, Coral told him that it was not his fault for what happened that day and promised to remember his name.[42] In the epilogue of Darkness of Dragons, Coral wrote a letter to her son complimenting him and saying that she loved him. Prince Turtle was very happy when he got the letter, showing that he feels little-to-no anger about Coral's lack of attention towards him. She loves and cares about Turtle as much as she cared for her daughters.

Webs[]

Webs became infamous for stealing Princess Tsunami's egg. Queen Coral hated Webs deeply and always planned for revenge. Queen Coral found Webs in The Lost Heir. Blister said Webs killed Queen Coral's eggs. However, Webs did not, but Blister still wanted Webs dead. Queen Coral agreed and threw Webs and Riptide in her prison. It is noted that Coral will never forgive Webs, yet she does not seem to oppose the idea of Webs teaching her daughter at Jade Mountain Academy.

Whirlpool[]

Queen Coral said that Whirlpool was a wonderful teacher and that he would be a perfect king, although Anemone and Tsunami had different opinions. Whirlpool muttered that she could re-marry (most likely he meant that she could re-marry himself), after Moray stated that "no Gill means no more eggs" upon the news of Gill's death. Queen Coral was very proud of him for making the ink for her scrolls, and she referred to him as her most trusted advisor.[43]

Quotes[]

"My baby! […] I knew you'd come back to me. […] I knew you were out there, trying to find your way back. I never stopped searching for you."
― to Tsunami (The Lost Heir, page 77)

"Of course. […] Council, you are dismissed. Moray, send a message to Queen Blister and see how quickly she can get here. As for you, creature, go back to your guard outpost and stay there until someone actually wants to see you."
― to the Council and Riptide (The Lost Heir, page 85)

"Yes, dear. […] It's a special formula made of squid ink and a touch of whale blood, so it never fades. Immortality is worth a few claw stains, don't you agree? Whirlpool invented it. He's terribly clever. […] These are my favorites. You can read them all tonight, and tomorrow I'll give you four of my other favorites."
― to Tsunami (The Lost Heir, page 90-91)

"It's all right. […] Naturally, I forgive my long-lost daughter any accidental impudence. As we all know, she was raised by barbarians, so she couldn't know any better. I give you all permission to eat."
― to the SeaWing Council (The Lost Heir, page 110-111)

"Hello, dear. […] I've been reading out loud to your sister. It's her favorite part of the day. We've just finished the story of how I chose Gill to be my husband. […] He adored my writing, too. […] He was a perfect candidate for king. […] He came from a very noble family. Nothing to worry about in his ancestry. A lot like Whirlpool in his intelligence, too. […] Luckily you've arrived just in time for my epic poem, On the Differences Between Oysters and Clams. It's an elegantly well-crafted metaphor about class differences and genetic superiority, as Whirlpool always says."
― to Tsunami (The Lost Heir, page 137)

"If anything happens to that egg, […] I'll lose two daughters that day."
― threatening Tsunami (The Lost Heir, page 155)

"The fool. […] I've told Shark a million times that vigilance is the only way to protect the eggs. If that means going days without eating, then that is what my trusted councillor must do. He's too soft with them."
― to Tsunami (The Lost Heir, page 156)

"Revenge, dear. They stole from me, and no one has ever gotten away with that. Now I must hunt them down and exterminate them."
― about the Talons of Peace (The Lost Heir, page 220)

"And I'm only letting this happen because Anemone has been badgering me about it every day since she got your message about the school. But you can come home anytime, you understand? If you feel threatened, or lonely, or overworked, or tired —"
― to Tsunami and Anemone (Moon Rising, page 5)

"It's not a death trap! […] SeaWing princesses and princes have been hatching there for thousands of years. I hatched there, and it was safe and beautiful. It's part of our heritage. It's a SeaWing tradition. There's nothing wrong with the hatchery — the problem is our useless guards."
― to Gill (Talons of Power, prologue)

"I'll stay with her this time. […] No one else can do it except me. I was right about our incompetent guards. […] I'm going to keep our next daughter alive. […] I'll stay in the hatchery with the egg to keep it safe. […] I'll keep her by my side all the time. Her whole life, if I have to. […] I'll never leave her alone. She's going to be perfect, Gill, you'll see. […] And we're going to call her Anemone."
― to Gill (Talons of Power, prologue)

"Dear Turtle, Auklet and I send our love. You must come home for a visit soon so that you can see the new palace we're building. We chose the perfect island for it and we're starting with an auditorium that will have wonderful acoustics for my scroll readings, with enough room to host dragons from all the tribes. We're not going to hide this one like the Summer Palace. I'm hoping it'll be a center for diplomacy and trade and art that will help us build relations across Pyrrhia, but especially with Queen Moorhen and Queen Glory, who have such interesting ideas."
― to Turtle, in a letter (Darkness of Dragons, epilogue)

"Your brothers seem to think you played an enormously clever practical joke on them the last time you were at the palace. I didn't get all the details, but they're very impressed with you. You'd better carefully check your bed for lobsters the next time you're here."
― to Turtle, in a letter (Darkness of Dragons, epilogue)

Trivia[]

  • Coral forbids her subjects from eating dolphins because she thinks they may be related to dragons;[44] however, Tsunami thought that it might actually be because Anemone looked like the dolphins they had seen and Coral was afraid that someone would eat her by mistake.[4]
  • Most of Coral's works are published on water-proof scrolls and thin stone tablets,[38] and many are required reading in SeaWing schools.[45][46]
  • Coral mostly cheers herself up by writing scrolls about all her problems.[47]
  • Coral uses her prisoners as bargaining chips.[47]
