Lore & Background
Blister is the eldest daughter of Queen Coral, making her the heir apparent to the SeaWing throne until her younger sister Tsunami is discovered. Unlike many SeaWings, Blister lacks the typical bioluminescent scales, which she views as a mark of superiority—a sign that she is different and destined for greatness. She is highly educated, having spent much of her life in the royal library, and uses her knowledge of history, politics, and poison to outmaneuver her rivals. Her alliance with Burn and Blaze is purely strategic, as she sees them as tools to further her own ambitions. Blister is also known for her cruelty, often testing venom on prisoners and manipulating others into doing her bidding without remorse.
In Their Own Story
The air in the SeaWing palace library was thick with the scent of old parchment and salt. Blister traced a claw over a map of Pyrrhia, her eyes gleaming with cold calculation. 'Burn thinks she’s the strongest, and Blaze believes she’s the cleverest,' she murmured to herself. 'But neither understands the true game.' She dipped a quill in ink and wrote a single name on a scrap of paper: Tsunami. 'A sister is just another obstacle to remove.'
