Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Gentle Flames is a red dragon. She is very talkative, and she loves to tell stories to her clan's hatchlings. Although she is quite powerful and can shoot fire, she isn't violent and she is usually very calm. She is also a great friend of Gentle Wind Rider, and Gentle Moonlit Sky, and the trio can often be found hunting and flying together. Despite her sometimes scary-looking appearance, she is a 'gentle giant' and she is very peaceful, always trying to make compromises and diplomatic solutions. Even though she is often considered 'sacred' or 'special' because she is a granddaughter of one of the original bronze tinsels, San Victorus, she doesn't really use it to get what she wants and is actually quite modest about it.
