Rafaema Manusara Coloseuvia is a young Lightning Dragon and one of Manus' Protectors of the Wall.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
In her true Dragon form; her true scales are a deep blue, not like sapphire; not purely one color. They looked like the color of sky before dark storm clouds overtook them. Her eyes shine like gemstones with the two colors of topaz and amethyst.[1]
In her false Winged Oldblood Drake form; she is a beautiful young Drake, that looks no older than 23,[3] with teal scales, that shine and flow, akin to water. Her wings and the yellow spines along her neck, looked as if they were sculpted. Even compared to a True Oldblood, showing the full extent of their heritage, she radiates like the sun itself.[4] Her voice is crisp and loud.
In her illusory male gnoll form, Rafaema masquerades as a tall male gnoll with dark black, silky fur, with a slight blue tinge.[5]
Personality[edit | edit source]
Rafaema is the Dragon's equivalent of a moody young teenager. In her adolescence, Rafaema was a wild child, having multiple relationships and trying various drugs; by her own admission, she was "lazy." However, when she wasn't allowed to fight when the Antinium sieged Manus, she began training, recognizing that the Antinium were a credible threat. While she strives to become the leader and hope of Manus, she is often frustrated by being left out of decisions by Manus' High Command and Dragonspeaker Luciva. She also has a temper, which have led to incidents.[2]
Rafaema often becomes melancholy at the thought of being the last of her species. However, she dislikes the other last of her species, Cire, annoyed by his immaturity, though she is empathetic towards his mental anguish over everyone around him dying while he continues to live.[1]
Background[edit | edit source]
TBA From Interlude – Queens and Dragons and Chapter 8.21 L
Her egg was found in a hidden vault deep in Manus' Citadel.[6] She was hatched and Manus' leadership raised her, in the hopes that someday she would lead the city.
She had had many instructors over the years, but some of them turn out to be Turnscales and had taken the risk of telling and showing her things about them which she never forgot, so that when the day comes she would lead them as her people as well.[7]

Quotes[edit | edit source]
- To Luciva:
- “If they attack us, we attack back. It’s as simple as that, isn’t it? Why are you all debating about it?”
- “It’s fairly normal to me. Humans have always been Humans. The Antinium bother me more. They’re new.”
- “I just said what I felt. See you, Luciva. Um…sorry about Hedica.”
- (To Ferris) “Then the Dragonspeaker will be finding a new minder for me. Because the old one went flying with all his fur burnt off by lightning and his bones broken. Before he landed.”
- (Thoughts) I heard there was one in the north. But he died too. Are there any of us left besides…Cire?
- To Ferris:
- “Ferris. Report. Ferris. I am going to murder you.”
- “…Yes. Yes, it does. Good work, Ferris. I can…use this. There’s no need to convince this Human to go to Manus, either. There’s a way for me to meet you in Oteslia.”
- To Cire:
- “You’re not ever ‘cool’. Better this than seeing you chasing after another Drake and telling me how many people you’ve had sex with this month.”
- “…Do you think before you ask me these things?”
- “Where do you feel it? Because if it’s where I think it is—I’ll stab you. Right where you feel it.”
- (To Ferris & Makhir) “Either way, an actual attack is beyond unlikely. So, Ferris, Hunt Commander. Kindly stop breathing down my tail or I will toss you over the walls.”
- (To Cire) “Well, you need to get her alone. Not to sleep with her, you twit! To ask her about what we both picked up on! The other Dragon!”
- (To Tyrion) “Look at this. Look at this. You—you are emblematic of what haunts us. War without end. You did not have to attack, again and again. Here you stand in Liscor. Do you have no shame?”
- (To Lulv and Ferris) “They just don’t stop biting. It’s every time I go to sleep. They just nibble on my wings, and—they ate my house! Every single day! And then they bray and bray and—”
