Saphira

Saphira (pronounced "suh-FEAR-uh"), also known as Saphira II(used by fans to distinguish between the two dragons named "Saphira" in the books, the other being the dragon formerly bonded with Brom), Flametongue by the Urgals, as well asBjartskular (meaning "Brightscales" in the Ancient Language) by the elves, was the only female dragon known to exist during the time of Eragon II, aside from Eldunarí. She was bonded to Eragon Shadeslayer as her Dragon Rider after her egg was rescued by the Varden's agents from the clutches of Galbatorixand was transported to the Spine by Arya, where Eragon found her. She was trained by Glaedr while Eragon was being trained by Oromis. Eventually Oromis, Glaedr, Saphira and Eragon started having classes together, then finally Eragon and Saphira had to leave to get ready for battle.
