Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Esme got her unusual name thanks to her mother, who wanted to be absolutely sure that her daughter's name was correctly entered in the official records. The scribe that day was distracted, and so Esme wound up with a long, entirely too memorable name. To forestall some of the inevitable teasing, Esme has taken to hexing anyone who looks like they might even be thinking of making fun of her name. She's built up such a repertoire of minor curses and charms over the years that she has yet to use the same one twice.
