'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#List of Known Scrolls|scrolls. She was formerly married to
Gill|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, beautiful, and huge, with blue scales that are nearly
identical to the color of Tsunami's. She has enormous blue wings with
royal patterns of webbed talon prints underneath them. She smells like
sea air and starfish. She has sharp white teeth and a forked tongue. Her
eyes are a warm green color, and her neck, chest, and wings are adorned
with strands of pearls. She also has a twisted white narwhal horn spear
attached to the tip of her tail, black ink-stained claws, and a rumbly
voice. Additionally, Coral wears a thin, webbed harness with a long cord
that first tied her to her daughter Anemone. Later on, she uses it to
tie Auklet to herself.

## Personality

Coral is vengeful, over-protective, menacing, commanding, and stern. She
is also ignorant, fearsome, judgemental, distrustful, and cares greatly
for rules and traditions; although none of her subjects were underfed or
grumpy like the SkyWings were under Queen Scarlet's harsh rule. She can
be insensitive and dismissive, and often only cares about imperative
information.

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

## Biography

Pre-Series
Queen Coral had many
dragonets, including Anemone, Auklet, Orca, Tsunami, Unnamed
characters#SeaWings|twelve other deceased daughters, Cerulean, Fin,
Octopus, Turtle, and twenty-eight other surviving Unnamed
characters#SeaWings|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
Orca's statue|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 Deep Palace#Royal Hatchery|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 Literature#List of Known
Scrolls|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

left The Dragonet Prophecy (book)|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.

left 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 Pyrrhia|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.

left 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.

left 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.

left The Brightest Night

Queen Coral briefly was at SandWing stronghold|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

left 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.

left 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.

left Escaping Peril

Turtle mentioned to Peril that he was one of the sons of Queen Coral.

left 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 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.

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

left
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. When Coral learned of his death, her voice sounded
hollow. A small smile was shown on her face when recalling memories of
him. She referred to him as "My Gill" and immediately dismissed her
Council to grieve.

### 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.

### 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. Coral loves her, and kept patting her, as if to make sure she was
real, after Tsunami returned to the Kingdom of the Sea. However, Coral
intentionally belittled Tsunami during a Council meeting.

### 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

## Trivia

  - Coral forbids her subjects from eating dolphins because she thinks
    they may be related to dragons; 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.
  - Most of Coral's works are published on water-proof scrolls and thin
    stone tablets, and many are required reading in SeaWing schools.
  - Coral mostly cheers herself up by writing scrolls about all her
    problems.
  - Coral uses her prisoners as bargaining chips.
