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's last words to Coral, her mother.
Template:Infobox Character Princess Orca was a female SeaWing and the first-born animus daughter of Queen Coral and King Gill. Tsunami, Anemone, and Auklet, and many unnamed dead daughters of Coral are her younger sisters. She hid her animus powers from Queen Coral. Before the events of the books, she was defeated and killed by her mother when she challenged her for the SeaWing throne the moment she reached the age of seven, she was impaled by a narwhal horn. She gave a statue to the Royal Hatchery before she died. It had been enchanted to assassinate all the female heirs, for she had expected to win and become queen. Without heirs, she could rule the throne for generations and not worry about any challengers. This backfired when her mother killed her by stabbing her with a narwhal horn, so Queen Coral lived on without many daughters, until Tsunami returned and found out the truth about the statue.
Biography
Before the challenge, she enchanted a statue of herself she had sculpted and dedicated to the Royal Hatchery. Her mother had no idea she was an Animus dragon at the time. Its function was to kill off any of the remaining female heirs, preventing any royal sisters from hatching that may try to take her spot as queen of the SeaWings. Orca thought she would win, but she didn't, so the statue working in Queen Coral's favor. Tsunami later defeated the statue. Once she explained it to Coral, she and Anemone completely smashed it to pieces.
Queen Coral still loved and missed Orca, despite the fact that she nearly killed her. According to Queen Coral, Orca was a very talented sculptor. The queen also wrote her first scroll based on the event titled "The Tragedy of Orca". A tiny bit of this story was recited during Whirlpool and Tsunami's first Aquatic lesson.
