Blaze

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 with Queen Thorn and Smolder.

Appearance
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
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. While she is 'the prettiest' out of her two sisters (which she considers as a major reason to become queen), according to Starflight, she is "as smart as a concussed sheep," and is also described as "dizzy" multiple times, mainly by Oasis. 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 without giving much thought to the potential lost oases the SandWings. 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, and instead asked 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, offensive, and ignorant of other dragons' feelings, shown when she bluntly talked about Six-Claws for his six-clawed talons in Deserter and how she was lucky she had five claws.

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.

Burn and Blister
Both Burn and Blister disliked Blaze, seeing her as a threat. In Deserter, the two planned to kill Blaze, making her believe that her favorite crown was out in the desert while a sandstorm was about to come in. Blaze was later saved by Six-Claws and Dune. Many years later, in The Brightest Night, Blaze was shown to be still afraid of her 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 having any emotion other than relief of her older sisters' deaths, leaving her and Smolder the only children of Oasis left alive.

Glacier
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.

Oasis
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. She was shown thinking She'd be a terrible queen, but an acceptable daughter in the prologue of The Brightest Night.

Trivia

 * 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.
 * 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.
 * According to Tui when asked about what happened to Blaze after the War of SandWing Succession, Blaze is in the SandWing stronghold with Thorn and Smolder. She wants to be happy, safe, and surrounded by pretty, peaceful things more than she wanted to be queen.
