Dulcia (a name derived from the Latin 'sweet') is a more experienced dragon who was assigned to [[Lily]]'s [[formation]] along with [[Messoria]], [[Nitidus]] and [[Immortalis]] to balance out the inexperienced [[Lily]], [[Temeraire]] and [[Maximus]]. | Dulcia (a name derived from the Latin 'sweet') is a more experienced dragon who was assigned to [[Lily]]'s [[formation]] along with [[Messoria]], [[Nitidus]] and [[Immortalis]] to balance out the inexperienced [[Lily]], [[Temeraire]] and [[Maximus]]. | ||

Along with the rest of Lily's formation, she was sent to [[Cape Town]] aboard the [[HMS Allegiance]] to find a cure. [[William Laurence]], spending the evenings reading to Temeraire from his books, was surprised to find that all the dragons quickly comprehended geometric theory. At one point, Nitidus and Dulcia disagreed with Temeraire on the concept of parallel lines. (Though Dulcia was more tactful in her disagreement than Nitidus.) Indeed, all the members of the formation soon began having in-depth discussions on geometry, giving credence to Temeraire's assertions that all dragons are very intelligent. |
Dulcia was one of the first dragons cured of the plague in [[Cape Town]] after experiments by [[Keynes]] and [[Dorset]] revealed that a certain mushroom was effective for this purpose. She received her first dose after Maximus received his, but the [[Regal Copper]]s were hit particularly hard by the disease, so Dulcia recovered more quickly. Although the mushroom made Temeraire and Maximus - both heavyweight dragons - rather drowsy, on Dulcia it had the effect of making her rather manic for a while. Because of Dulcia's rapid recovery, she and Chenery were able to assist in the efforts to locate greater supplies of the mushroom. | Dulcia was one of the first dragons cured of the plague in [[Cape Town]] after experiments by [[Keynes]] and [[Dorset]] revealed that a certain mushroom was effective for this purpose.
