  "account": "A lesser-known dragon from the TV series House of the Dragon, Season 3, is about to take center stage - Tessarion, also known as the Blue Queen. This small blue dragon, ridden by Daeron Targaryen, is Gwayne Hightower's young nephew, a direct threat to Rhaenyra Targaryen and Aegon II Targaryen sitting on the Iron Throne. We first see Tessarion in Season 3, Episode 1, when Ormund Hightower introduces her to his army camp. Though not fully grown and fenced in, Tessarion is a cute sight. In Episode 3, we witness Ormund handing over Daeron, Tessarion's rider, as a prisoner of war. She is then seen doing her job in the stables, barbecuing and devouring Leo, Kat's brother. The Blue Queen will play a crucial role in the upcoming Dance of the Dragons. House of the Dragon Season 3 is currently streaming on HBO Max.",
