Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Skyflame was raised almost solely by her father and is true to her species' nature. She is dominant, fierce, and aggressive, but yet still sociable. Skyflame prefers to gather a crowd of dragons beneath her—well, not friends. More like admirers. She usually ends up picking fights with some of them, and throwing them to the lowest rank in her posse. Most of the other dragons outside of her crowd dislike her and try to avoid her because they are so scared of her. Of course her father, who could never be as dominant as she, praises her and encourages her behavior.
