Blaze


 * "Shouldn't we do that anyway? I mean, he did try to kill me. Queen Glacier will be so mad. This one time, a SkyWing flew all the way here and nearly got me while I was getting some sun and Glacier literally ripped off his wings before she killed him. It was really gross, but also kind of sweet, you know, like she really cares about me."
 * —Blaze to Glory about Deathbringer, The Hidden Kingdom

Blaze is an adult female SandWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. She was one of the three rival sisters who fought for the SandWing throne during the War of SandWing Succession, and is well-known as the silliest and least intelligent among them. She currently resides in the SandWing stronghold.

Appearance Edit
Blaze has white-gold scales, a long neck, and pitch-dark eyes similar to those of her sisters. She has been depicted with three glittering rings on her talons, a white cape with a large rim, and a golden, crown-like adornment on her head.

Personality Edit
Blaze is described as rather air-headed and is extremely concerned about her appearance. She also has a strong attraction towards jewelry. She is often adorned in all sorts of fashionable items. She is ‘the prettiest' out of her two sisters (which she later uses as a reason to become queen). According to Starflight, she is "as smart as a concussed sheep", and is also described as "dizzy" multiple times. She supposedly hates any dragon that is younger or prettier than her, thinking that others should not be allowed to be "too pretty". She disliked Glory for that reason. Blaze also tends to be rather careless, as she gained the support of the IceWings by offering them large amounts of SandWing territory. She also told Sunny what the antidote to the SandWing tail barb poison was with barely any thought at all, despite that being a SandWing secret. She thinks of herself as beautiful, and she is quite narcissistic and vain.

She is horrible at combat, letting her soldiers fight for her without being involved herself. When Blister attacked her at the end of The Brightest Night, she didn't try to fight back, instead asking Glacier to fight for her. She was wounded several times before Sunny intervened. She does seem to have an honorable side, though: she gave up her claim to the SandWing throne after the Eye of Onyx chose Thorn to be queen. However, this might have been a choice made out of fear rather than honor; she may have been worried about having the same fate as Blister. She is much nicer than her sisters. She allowed the dragonets to escape when Queen Glacier and her forces were coming but is also very self-centered and somewhat deluded. She believes that everyone likes her and immediately reassured herself that the dragonets would choose her, saying "everyone likes me!" Blaze can also be rude and offensive, shown when she insulted Six-Claws for his six-clawed talons in Deserter.

Blaze believes she would be a good queen because "as the youngest daughter, she could have the longest reign", and is supposedly the prettiest, nicest, and the most popular out of the sisters.

Unlike her sisters, she does not seem to display any of the dark, ruthless, bloodthirsty, cunning and sadistic tendencies, all of which both Burn and Blister both had, which may be one of the reasons why she was so popular with the SandWings.

Oasis Edit
Blaze had a good relationship with her mother, as Oasis found her harmless and would not be able to get the throne. Despite this, her mother called her dizzy. Oasis didn't think she was a good queen but an acceptable daughter.

Glacier Edit
She depended on the IceWing queen greatly, and had a good relationship with her. Though, their relationship was mostly due to the offer of land Blaze gave to Glacier. Nevertheless, Blaze is quite thankful of her for looking out for her.

Burn and Blister Edit
Both of Blaze's sisters found her incredibly annoying but not as a threat and liked each other more than they liked Blaze, working together to try to kill their younger sister once when they pretended that her tiara was in the courtyard during a sandstorm, only for the plan to be thwarted by Six-Claws. Blaze, Blister and Burn all became enemies after their mother's death, fighting over the throne, with Blaze having the most SandWing support. Many years later, in The Brightest Night, Blaze was shown to be still afraid of the sisters, hiding behind Queen Glacier when she protested that the dragonets of destiny chose her, which caused Burn and Blister to glare at her. After Burn's death, Blister attempted to kill Blaze in order to gain the crown. Blaze was never seen have any emotion other than relief of her older sisters' deaths, leaving her and Smolder the only children of Oasis left alive.

Quotes Edit

 * "Is it about Queen Scarlet? [. . .] Did we find out if she's dead? Are the SkyWings still following Burn? You know, if Glacier would let me go to the Sky Kingdom, I bet I could convince the SkyWings to switch alliances to us. I can be really convincing. Everyone likes me. [. . .] I know what you'll say, [. . .] What Glacier always says. Stay put and let her handle things. I know all that military stuff is too confusing for me. but I think I could be useful with the talking part. Other dragons like hearing me talk."
 * ― about an "urgent message" (The Hidden Kingdom)


 * "Well, bring them here, bring them here! [. . .] We can have a feast! Or a party! We haven't had one of those in forever, because, you know, Queen Glacier disapproves of that kind of thing, but for something like this I'm sure we could! Oh, we'll definitely need more dried lizards. We even have a pair of scavengers we could share! Maybe we should roast a camel-- one of them's a MudWing, right? He'd probably like that. We don't have anything for SeaWings. . . maybe Queen Glacier can send us some fish, or a penguin, or do you think she'd like a walrus?"
 * ― about seeing the dragonets of destiny (The Hidden Kingdom)


 * "Ooooo, [. . .] Wow, I wish I could do that, [. . .] I'd be a different color every minute! [. . .] Do you think the changing camouflage would still work if I had someone make, like, a coat of RainWing scales for me? [. . .] That could be pretty."
 * ― about RainWing scales (The Hidden Kingdom)


 * "Who cares? [. . .] Don't even worry about it. I'll be such a great queen that no one will want to challenge me. There, that's an excellent plan. So how does this prophecy thing work? Are you guys going to kill my sisters? That would make my life much easier."
 * ― to the dragonets of destiny, about becoming queen (The Hidden Kingdom)


 * "Shouldn't we do that anyway? [. . .] I mean, he did try to kill me. Queen Glacier will be so mad. This one time, a SkyWing flew all the way here and nearly got me while I was getting some sun and Glacier literally ripped off his wings before she killed him. It was really gross but also kind of sweet, you know, like she really cares about me."
 * ― about killing Deathbringer (The Hidden Kingdom)


 * "It was delightful to meet you, [. . .] Even if you are missing a SkyWing. And some of you are a little funny-looking. I promise you'll be pleased if you choose me. [. . .] I can offer you whatever land you want. You could each have land enough for a palace of your own!"
 * ― to the dragonets of destiny, about choosing her as queen (The Hidden Kingdom)


 * "My neck hurts. [. . .] Ow. Do you think it's going to scar? I'll be so mad if it scars."
 * ― to Glacier, after Deathbringer attacked her (The Dark Secret, epilogue)


 * "That's what it sounded like, [. . .] But more important, that NightWing tried to kill me! You're going to kill him, right?"
 * ― to Glacier, about Deathbringer (The Dark Secret, epilogue)


 * "They seemed nice, [. . .] Some of them were a little funny-looking. And I still don't understand what that RainWing was doing with them. Besides, she was a little too pretty. I think it's better to be just the right amount of pretty, don't you? Too pretty is annoying."
 * ― to Glacier, about the dragonets of destiny (The Dark Secret, epilogue)


 * "But they can't possibly choose her now that they've met me! [. . .] Now they know I'm wonderful and would make a great queen! They'll definitely pick me."
 * ― about the dragonets of destiny choosing her (The Dark Secret, epilogue)


 * "Three moons, it's bleeding! I'm bleeding!"
 * ― when Blister attempted to kill her (The Brightest Night)


 * "Because I'm nicer and smarter and prettier than them [. . .]Haven't you met them? Aren't they awful?"
 * ― Blaze, To the dragonets of destiny, about picking her (The Hidden Kingdom, page 287)

Trivia Edit

 * She is the only sister out of the three that has not been mentioned to have killed anyone. This may be because she barely ever left her fortress during the War of SandWing Succession and because she preferred telling her soldiers to fight instead.
 * Tui has confirmed she could see Blaze and Thorn becoming eventual friends.
 * Blaze was the only member of the royal family not present when Queen Oasis died.
 * There appears to be a inconsistency when it comes to the issue of whether or not Blaze has any scars: While The Dragonet Prophecy states that Blister had no scars unlike her sisters (thus indirectly saying that Blaze has at least one scar on her body somewhere), The Hidden Kingdom states that she has unscathed scales, contradicting the book that came before it. In the graphic novel adaptations, Blaze is also depicted without any scars, however, so is Burn, a character known for her scars, meaning it is unclear which book is correct.
