Biography
"You are too old to be flying with your eyes closed." - Obversaria chiding Temeraire on his recklessness.
Obversaria was the flag dragon of the Aerial Corps for over ten years; Admiral Lenton was her captain. She had many years of experience (at least 40 with Lenton) and was noted to be the finest dragon in Britain at one point. She was an Anglewing, a breed slightly larger than Yellow Reapers and noted for its exceptional agility in the air, including being able to fly in tight circles. It was said that no beast in her class could touch her for maneuvering.
An egg she laid that was kept at the Loch Laggan covert was near hatching by the time Laurence left Britain for China. It was to be given to Lloyd, who was Excidium's first lieutenant.
She served in the Battle of Dover.
Obversaria died in the Dragon Plague that began in September 1805.
