## Relationships

### [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Blister Blister] and [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Blaze Blaze]

Burn despised both of her sisters and didn't seem to have a good relationship with them even before the war started. She was willing, even eager, to kill both of them to claim the throne. She was stated to like Blister better than Blaze (in which Blister was stated to like Burn better than Blaze). Both she and Blister once plotted to kill Blaze as dragonets. Blister despised Burn as well, starting the war because she knew she couldn't defeat Burn in claw-to-claw combat. Ultimately, Burn's death was at the claws of Blister.

### [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Dragonets\_of\_destiny Dragonets of destiny]

Burn didn't trust prophecies whatsoever. She thought it would be safer to kill the dragonets of destiny instead of waiting for them to choose her. Since they could have gotten in the way of the throne, Burn didn't want to risk them not choosing her.

### [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Oasis Oasis]

Oasis and Princess Burn had a good relationship, stated by Oasis to be "odd but reasonable." Oasis could easily distract Burn by giving her something strange, and Burn would go into her room for days to study it. At the stronghold during the Brightest Night, Thorn comments that she was impressed at Burn's poetic tombstone for Queen Oasis. It is suggested that, rather, she mourned for Oasis, who thought that she and Burn "actually got along, in a way."Template:Ref

### [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Six-Claws Six-Claws]

He served her for twelve years during the war and was a general. The two got along reasonably well until Six-Claws argued against her orders, which strained their relationship. Burn seemed to be more sparing towards Six-Claws than other odd dragons and did not kill him right away. Instead, she wanted his talons hung up after his death, which never happened.

### [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Smolder Smolder]

Smolder was the only brother that Burn allowed to live. However, she tended to feel uncomfortable around Smolder because he has a similar appearance to Blister. It was implied many times that Burn seemed to threaten Smolder with death so he'd obey her orders at all times, as Smolder fears for his life whenever something goes wrong.

### [./https://wingsoffire.fandom.com/wiki/Thorn Thorn]

Thorn and Burn did not have a great relationship, which was shown when she did not hesitate to attack the stronghold during The Brightest Night. Many dragons who lived in the Scorpion Den were there to avoid military service in Burn's army, so while Thorn was the leader of the city, she seems to have worked to keep the princess away.
