Apologies for my disappearance. I was suddenly and unexpectedly taken out of commission by a slipped disc injury. I've already alluded to the possibility of schedule slippage with regards to this Smaugust outing, but it looks now like this might turn from a one-month deal into an all-year thing.
I occasionally get asked about what I think about (insert a particular character here), and Blister is one I've gotten before. For the most part that answer has been "nothing at all" since, despite being one of the big arc 1 antagonists, there isn't much in the books about her on a personal level. But as so often is the case, I started to develop more of an opinion of her as I drew a comic about her.
So I guess here is what I think about Blister now:
As a child, Blister was what could charitably be called "gloomy". She was rather intelligent and reclusive, preferring to keep to her studies over dealing with court matters and having to socialize with the intellectually inferior. She was good at keeping secrets. Her mother, though she disliked all of her daughters to some extent for threatening her rule, particularly hated Blister because she could never tell what her daughter was thinking. This was unnerving because Blister was thinking all the time.
Among all of her intellectual pursuits, Blister was particularly interested in alchemy, specifically the study of poisons. When she had the free time, she was always immersed in various flasks and bottles, trying to come up with new concoctions. The palace servants would dread having to clean her room because it always reeked of unknown caustic substances and was littered with the carcasses of dead bugs and other small animals, a fact which her sister Blaze teased her for relentlessly.
Blaze happened to be the only person capable of getting under the normally composed and calm dragon's skin. While Burn was impulse-driven and thus easily manipulated, Blaze's personality was so uniquely vapid and opposite to Blister's that it infuriated and frustrated the latter. Blaze had a habit of calling Blister "Bliss", to mock the fact that she was always moody and never smiled.
Blister's fascination with all manners of poisons extended to the study of venomous animals. For a while she cultivated a private little menagerie of exotic snakes, spiders, and insects within the palace. However, her mother eventually found out about it and, fearing she'd wake up one day with a venomous centipede shoved down her ear, went and destroyed it. This act did not improve the relationship between mother and daughter.
Many years later, after instigating a conflict that embroiled the entire continent in warfare for two decades, Blister accidentally killed herself by touching the Eye of Onyx. She had always associated treasure with her obnoxious, aggravating sister, and thus never bothered to research the history of the object, or any enchantments that may have been placed upon it. This petty apathy resulted in her doom.
In a particularly insulting twist of fate, while Blister never knew about the eye's lethal properties, Blaze actually did (as her frequent excursions to her mother's treasure chamber necessitated her being informed so she wouldn't accidentally fry herself by trying to put it on). Therefore, Blister's death was caused because she lacked knowledge that her uneducated sister had.
While alive, Blister's favorite snack was lightly roasted almonds.
I think those are about most of the thoughts I had while drawing this comic. You might call it a therapy piece, as the last couple of weeks have made me keenly sympathetic towards dealing with back issues.
