Saphira Bjartskular (which means Saphira Brightscales) is a female sapphire-blue dragon from Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy and also happens to be Christopher Paolini's favorite character.. Her scales and eyes are the color of sapphire and glitter like them. Her eyes see blues in more vibrant and exotic tones, while reds and greens are more faded. Her talons, and her neck, back, and tail spikes, are all bone-white. On the cover of the book she has two serrated teeth, as well as normal teeth and her head is triangular. Later in Inheritance, she gains the ability to breathe flame. At first, the flame is bright yellow tinged with blue, but later it is fully blue. Of the last five dragons in existence, she is the only known female, and is thus the hope of reviving the dragon race. Saphira was born to Iormￃﾺngr, a male dragon bound to a Dragon Rider, and Vervada, a formidable and wild female dragon. When introducing herself formally, Saphira refers to herself as "Saphira, daughter of Vervada" (In a similar manner, most beings - dragons, elves, dwarves and humans - refer to themselves as "son/daughter of father/mother"). Unfortunately, both of Saphira's parents perished [ - ]
