"I did this all wrong. You're going to rule forever, aren't you, Mother? You should thank me. No one can stop you now."
— Orca to Coral, recounted in The Lost Heir

Template:Charbox Princess Orca was a young female SeaWing who was first mentioned in The Lost Heir. She was secretly an animus dragon, having enchanted a statue she sculpted to kill off possible heirs to the SeaWing throne. She was killed in a challenge for the throne by her mother, Queen Coral.


Appearance

It was confirmed in the second graphic novel that Orca had deep green scales and sapphire-blue eyes, like her statue. Some of her scales were a light eel color, her wings were a very pale olive green and her underbelly was bleached.

Biography

Pre-series

Prior to her challenge for the throne, Orca enchanted a marble statue of herself she had sculpted and dedicated to the Royal Hatchery. Coral did not know that Orca was an animus dragon, or that the statue was enchanted to kill off heirs to the SeaWing throne. Orca then challenged Queen Coral for the throne of the SeaWings, nearly winning. She was accidentally speared with the narwhal horn Coral was wearing on the end of her tail.

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.

Orca was mentioned throughout The Lost Heir, including as a part of the scroll 'The Tragedy Of Orca'. Queen Coral owned several of her carvings, even though some of her subjects disliked Orca. Tsunami discovered that the statue in the hatching nursery was enchanted by her to kill off possible heirs to the SeaWing throne.

― her last words, to Queen Coral (The Lost Heir)

Trivia

  • The statue she carved of herself was of dark green marble[1] with blue sapphire eyes. It was confirmed that she is dark green with blue eyes here, rather than the common fan depiction of her being black and white. In the graphic novel, however, the statue is light green.
    • She is the only known SeaWing to have blue eyes along with green scales, as most have blue eyes and blue scales or green eyes and green scales.
  • Orca was the first (and only) dragon known to have challenged Queen Coral.
    • Tui has confirmed that Orca didn’t use her animus power to win her challenge for the throne because she wanted to prove herself.[citation needed]
  • Orca’s name may be a hint that her statue was the one killing the female royal SeaWing eggs, as orcas are often referred to as “killer whales”.
  • Orca enchanted the green statue that she built because so that if Orca won the throne, Queen Coral's other daughters wouldn't have survived to challenge her.
