"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. In the Kingdom of the Sea, Orca is infamous for challenging Queen Coral for the SeaWing throne. She nearly won but was ultimately killed in the duel when she was impaled by the narwhal spike on Queen Coral's tail.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Orca was an animus dragon and a talented sculptor, and dedicated a statue of herself to the Royal Hatchery. The statue was enchanted, however, to kill any female SeaWing royalty, presumably so that once Orca became queen, she would be rid of any royal competitors.

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 (probably also using her magic) and dedicated to the Royal Hatchery. Her mother had no idea that she was an animus dragon at the time, which allowed her sinister enchantment to escape the queen's notice. Orca then challenged Queen Coral to the throne of the SeaWings and nearly killed Coral, but ended up dying after Coral accidentally speared her with the narwhal horn she 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 until Tsunami proved that the statue was destroying the eggs when she defeated it and saved Auklet.

The Lost Heir

Orca was mentioned throughout The Lost Heir, from when the tale was a mystery to Tsunami up until it was revealed she was behind the Hatchery killings from Princess Anemone's animus magic. Queen Coral used several of her carvings, even though some of her subjects disliked Orca.

Trivia

  • An orca, also known as a killer whale, is a toothed whale and a top predator in the ocean. They are very intelligent and social, and can be found all over the world.
  • Orca's scale color was once unknown; however, the statue she carved of herself was of dark green marble[1] with blue sapphire eyes, which makes it likely that dark green was her scale color, and blue was possibly her eye color. 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.
  • It is likely that 9 years have passed since she was killed by Queen Coral.
  • It was believed Orca may have tried to use her animus powers to win because everyone was shocked when she almost killed Queen Coral. But Tui has confirmed that Orca didn’t use her animus power to win because she wanted to prove herself.
  •  Princess Orca possibly could have made even more enchantments that were hidden before her challenge to Queen Coral, maybe to carve her statues. However, after the events of The Lost Heir, Queen Coral said that she had to check if any other statues were enchanted.
  • Orca is a near anagram of Coral. Whether this was intentional or not is unknown.
  • Orca may not have known that dragons themselves can be enchanted with animus magic, or she could have made herself invulnerable like Darkstalker.
  • Orca was the first (and only) dragon who is known to have challenged Queen Coral.
  • She is the only known SeaWing to have blue eyes along with green scales, as most have blue eyes and scales or green eyes and scales.
  • Orca’s name may be a hint that her statue was the one killing the female royal SeaWing eggs since orcas are often referred to as “killer whales”.
  • There is a theory that Orca enchanted the green statue that she built because if Orca had won the throne, then Queen Coral's other daughters wouldn't have been able to challenge Orca.
