Tessarion

The Blue Queen
Description
Tessarion, also known as the Blue Queen, was a she-dragon ridden by Prince Daeron Targaryen. Tessarion was a beautiful blue she-dragon. Her wings were a dark cobalt, while her claws, crest, and belly scales were the color of bright beaten copper. Her flames were cobalt blue in color as well.
By 129 AC, Tessarion was of fighting size. During the Dance of the Dragons, she was the youngest dragon of fighting weight belonging to Aegon II Targaryen's supporters, meaning she was younger than Vhagar, Dreamfyre, and Sunfyre. By 130 AC, Tessarion was one-third in size to Vermithor. A young dragon at the time, Tessarion was nimble in the air.
During the Dance of the Dragons, Daeron rode Tessarion in the Battle on the Honeywine in the Reach to save Lord Ormund Hightower and his army. The arrival of Daeron and Tessarion helped the Hightower army win the battle. They continued with the army up the Roseroad to King's Landing, which had already been taken by Rhaenyra Targaryen's forces. Daeron scouted ahead on Tessarion, and Rhaenyra's loyalists fled at the sight of them.
The Second Battle of Tumbleton began when Addam Velaryon attacked Seasmoke by surprise. Tessarion's rider was killed, leaving her to fight riderless. The three dragons engaged in a fight that ended in the death of all three. Tessarion was the last to die and appeared to be in pain, so an archer was commanded to shoot three arrows into her eye, killing her.
