TESSARION - Design Development (Quotes):

- House of the Dragon -

BARTIMOS: Pray forgive my bluntness, Your Grace, but talk of men is moot. Your cause owns a power that has not been seen in this world since the days of old Valyria. Dragons!

RHAENYRA: The Greens have dragons as well.

DAEMON: They have three adults, by my count. We have Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys. Your sons have Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes. Baela has Moondancer.

RHAENYRA: Daemon, none of our dragons have been to war.

DAEMON: There are also unclaimed dragons. Seasmoke still resides on Driftmark. Vermithor and Silverwing dwell on the Dragonmont, still riderless. Then there are the three wild dragons, all of whom nest here.

RHAENYRA: And who is to ride them?

DAEMON: Dragonstone has 13 to their 4. I also have a score of eggs incubating in the Dragonmont.

- House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 10 "The Black Queen"

JASPER: You lord uncle, Ormund, marches from Oldtown at the head of a great host, your grace. And your brother Daeron's dragon nears fighting age. Call on them ot supress the Riverlands.

- House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 "The Burning Mill"

JASPER: However, in happier tidings, Prince Daeron's dragon, Tessarion, has at last taken to wing. You brother expects to join the fight soon.

When he does, the Hightower host will be unstoppable.

- House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 "The Red Sowing"

RHAENYRA: The third brother is untested. He's never left Oldtown, and his dragon is younger than Vermax.

CORLYS: But a dragon nontheless.

- House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 8 "The Queen Who Ever Was"

- Behind the Scenes -

"RYAN: Tessarion is Daeron's dragon, the Blue Queen. She's a juvenile dragon, but very kind of stately and reserved.

DADI EINARSSON: Ultimately, we wanna act in the way an actor would. This is a character in the show, so we want to kind of imbue that life into that character and make it multilayered and give it some depth, and something that people start to recognize the individuality of this one compared to the other one. And how would this dragon react in this situation? I think that's when you kind of make it a living, breathing part of the show.

RYAN: She is undoubtedly smaller than Silverwing, Vermithor, and Caraxes are, but she's a nuclear weapon in her own right on Ormund's side, and I think will, you know, have a great role to play in this story yet to come."

- Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin -

Even Prince Daeron had a dragon, a lovely blue she-dragon named Tessarion, though he had yet to ride.

- Fire and Blood "Heirs of the Dragons: A Question of Succession"

Prince Daeron’s dragon was Tessarion, with her wings dark as cobalt and her claws and crest and belly scales as bright as beaten copper.

- Fire and Blood "The Dying of the Dragons: The Blacks and the Greens"

The dragon was Tessarion, the Blue Queen, cobalt and copper. On her back rode the youngest of Queen Alicent’s three sons, Daeron Targaryen, fifteen, Lord Ormund’s squire, that same gentle and soft-spoken lad who had once been milk brother to Prince Jacaerys.
