Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Be Still The Pain is the only daughter of the former pairing of Be Still Your Heart and Ivouris. Slightly overwhelmed by her brothers' many problems and drama, she quickly moved out of her family's territory to make a new path for herself. While not all that bright, she is persistent and never gives up on any goal she sets her mind to, making her a very dependable dragon in her clan.
