'Blister' was an adult female SandWing who was introduced in The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|The Dragonet
Prophecy. She was one of the three rival sisters who fought for the
SandWing Dragon royalty|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 (book)|The
Brightest Night.

## Description

Blister had yellow and white-gold scales as pale as desert sand, with a
pattern of black diamond scales running down her spine that writhed as
she moved. She had cold, glittering, obsidian-black eyes and a
snake-like gaze, as well as a long, cunning face and a serpentine
figure. Her voice was cold, hard, purring, icy, and slithering, with a
strange hiss to it. Her eyes glittered with danger and malevolence.

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

## Personality

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

## Biography

left
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 Stone|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.

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 Blister's
hideout|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.

left 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
Talons of Peace#The False Dragonets|the false dragonets to her, and she
ordered Starflight and Tsunami to be killed.

left 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.

left The Dark Secret
Blister appeared in the epilogue, examining a human
settlements|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.

left 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 SandWing stronghold|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.

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

left 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.

left 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.

left 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.

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.

The Dangerous Gift
After Glacier
asked her daughters to promise that they will not have their Ice
Kingdom|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.

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.

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.

### 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 and referred to Blister as her friend, Blister
quickly removed herself from Coral's physical affections, 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, and Blister was willing to use false affection towards Coral to
manipulate her feelings and decisions. She was disrespectful towards
Coral and could not care less what happened to Coral's daughters, and
was slightly bored when discussing ways to save Coral's future heirs.

### 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
