Tessarion, also known as the Blue Queen, was a she-dragon. She was ridden by Daeron Targaryen. [1]

Description

Her wings were dark as cobalt and her claws, crest and belly scales were as bright as beaten copper. Her flame was cobalt in colour. She was of fighting size but still a young dragon and nimbler in the air than her older brothers. Tessarion was three times smaller than Vermithor and not as fearsome a beast as him in comparison.

History

Daeron rode Tessarion into the Battle on the Honeywine in the Reach to save Lord Ormund Hightower. Their arrival won the fight.

Tessarion fought Addam Velaryon and Seasmoke in the Second Battle of Tumbleton. Wounded from the battle, the Blue Queen writhed in pain on the ground until sunset. The dying Tessarion was slain by three arrows loosed by Billy Burley at Lord Benjicot Blackwood's word.

Quotes about Tessarion

Defeat seemed imminent ... until a shadow swept across the battlefield, and a terrible roar resounded overhead, slicing through the sound of steel on steel. A dragon had come.


The victory belongs to Tessarion. [2]
