Orca
- "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 about Orca's statue, recounted in The Lost Heir
Orca was an adult female SeaWing who was introduced in The Lost Heir. Along with being a princess, she was secretly an animus dragon. She was killed during a royal challenge by Queen Coral.
Appearance
Orca had dark green scales[3] and sapphire-blue eyes.[4]
Personality
Orca appeared to be power-hungry and extremely ambitious during her life, challenging Coral at the age of seven and using her magic to secure her power over the SeaWing throne. She also thought highly of herself, choosing not to use her magic to win the challenge to prove herself.
Biography
Pre-Series
Before her challenge for the SeaWing throne, Orca enchanted a marble statue 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 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.

Trivia
- The statue she carved of herself was made of dark green marble[6] with blue sapphire eyes. It was confirmed that she is dark green with blue eyes in an interview with Tui.[7] However, in the graphic novel, the statue is light green.
- Orca didn't use her animus power to win her challenge because she wanted to prove that she could win in a fair fight.[8]
