Dragon Name
Vaelythra ("Silent Flame" in High Valyrian-inspired style)
Lineage
Vaelythra would descend from the bloodline of Balerion the Black Dread through a lesser-known female branch, while also carrying traits reminiscent of Dreamfyre.
This combination would create a dragon that is:
Less monstrous than Balerion
More intelligent and emotionally bonded than many war dragons
Elegant and swift rather than purely destructive
Known for strategic thinking during battle
Appearance
Coloration
Main scales: Deep midnight violet that appears black from a distance
Underscales: Silver-gray with a faint pearl sheen
Neck ridges: Pale platinum
Wing membranes: Smoky lavender fading to starlit silver near the edges
In sunlight, the scales would shimmer with subtle purple highlights, making the dragon appear almost magical rather than terrifying.
Eyes
Bright amethyst-purple
Reflective in darkness like polished gemstones
Able to lock onto targets from extraordinary distances
Horns
Two elegant backward-curving horns
Silver-white with darker tips
Smaller crown-like spikes along the jawline
(Unlike Caraxes' twisted appearance or Vhagar's massive bulk, Vaelythra would have refined, graceful features.)
Size
Hatchling
About the size of a large dog
Already unusually observant
Rarely screeches without purpose
Adult
Wingspan: roughly 180–220 feet
Slightly smaller than Vhagar
Larger than Syrax
Lean, athletic build designed for endurance and speed
Fire
Vaelythra's flame would be unique:
Color
White-hot center
Violet outer edges
Characteristics
-Extremely focused
-Able to melt castle gates rather than merely scorch them
-Produces less smoke than most dragons
Maesters would describe the fire as "moonlight given fury."
Temperament
Vaelythra would be famous for:
Strengths
Highly intelligent
Fiercely loyal to one rider
Excellent memory
Calm under pressure
Weaknesses
Distrustful of strangers
Slow to accept a new rider
Can become protective to a fault
This dragon would not be the first to charge into battle. Instead, it would wait, assess, and strike at the decisive moment.
Reputation Among Dragonkeepers
Dragonkeepers would say:
"She listens before she roars."
