Queen Zircon

Queen Zircon is the ruler of the river kingdom, daughter of previous rulers King Spike and Queen Mako. She was a minor character in Arc 1, and reappeared as a reoccurring protagonist in Arc 2, 3 and 4.

Appearance
Zircon is a River Dragon. She has blue-green scales with a grey-pink tint and redish brown zircon colored eyes, partially her namesake.

Personality
Zircon is a strong-willed, quick-thinking dragon who has an eye for perfection.

In her younger years, she was often depicted as quiet and dedicated to her role as princess. She spent a lot of time reading books and looking up to her older sister Wavecrash.

Depths
Zircon and Depths have known each other from a young age. They'd gotten to play with each other for only a very short time before Depths started staying away from Zircon, keeping away until about the age of nine. As dragonlins, the two had a habit to get into heated arguments about royalty and entitlement, where Depths was set on pointing out flaws in the royal system and Zircon felt the need to defend against him. Those arguments came to a sharp halt after the events of Switcheroo.

After the events of the fire Despite the many twists and turns of their relationship, Zircon considers Depths her best friend, trusts and respects him very highly.

Depths has never understood her strange love of cloaks, finding it frivolous and materialistic. But he also finds it a bit funny, and loves Zircon despite her weird royal quirks.

Ripple
For much of their youth, Zircon considered Ripple a kind acquaintance since she didn't know him well. He rarely spoke to her, and when he did often tried to get away as soon as possible. Though Ripple was nearly paralyzingly shy, he always had a kind word for Zircon. She often mistook his sincerity for politeness, especially during the early days of Depths' Absence, and even wondered a few times if her friend had asked Ripple to look out for her before he (Depths) ran away.

Throughout the years, Ripple has become a very close friend to Zircon, always seeming to be there the moment she needed him.
