Biography
Minnow never accepted a captain, but lived in the Pen Y Fan Breeding Grounds until she left with Temeraire to fight the invading French army. In her opinion, being harnessed might have been fine for the larger dragons, but she had spoken with too many old couriers, broken down in health by the time their captains retired, with nothing to show for their service but the marks their harnesses had left on their hides.
Because of her disdain for being in harness, she accompanied Temeraire to the negotiations concerning pay for dragons to make sure the unharnessed ones would be treated fairly. Later on, she got the rank of captain and an epaulette.
