Harper

Beauty was a gold fire lizard that bonded with Menolly during the Ninth Pass.

Biography[]

Beauty was one of Menolly's original nine fire lizards. Like her siblings, she was born in a small cavern in a cliff near the Dragon Stones. Menolly, having taken shelter in the cave during Threadfall, began feeding the fire lizards Spiderclaws and Impressed nine of them. Beauty, who was the second to be Impressed, lived with Menolly in that cave for a number of months before she moved to first Benden Weyr, in which Menolly worried about her getting fed, then the Harper Hall along with Menolly.

She was used by Menolly and other harpers, most prominently Sebell, for numerous purposes including guarding people, leading other fire-lizards and delivering messages.

Personality and traits[]

Beauty showed an unusual trait of being able to lead other fire-lizards. She was very attached to Menolly and would hiss and claw at a person who she sensed might cause harm to Menolly. She was proud of herself and often would not lower herself to certain tasks. She liked to perch on Menolly's shoulder most of the time.

She was a queen fire-lizard and so was about the size of a child's arm.
