Biography
Pre-Series
Before her challenge for the SeaWing throne, Orca enchanted a marble statue that she had sculpted of herself and dedicated to the Royal Hatchery. Coral did not know that Orca had been an animus dragon or that the statue was enchanted to kill off the heirs to the SeaWing throne. Orca then challenged Coral for the throne of the SeaWings, nearly winning. She was accidentally speared with the narwhal horn Coral wears on the end of her tail and died.
After her death, the enchanted statue began killing off all the female heirs in the hatchery for years, murdering the unhatched dragonets in secrecy. Tsunami proved that the statue was destroying the eggs when she defeated it and saved Auklet.
