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.

Sunlit Dandelion is curious and shy at the same time. Some dragons believe that's because of her parents, who can't be more different than they are. Although her parents aren't popular members of the clan, Sunlit Dandelion is. She also secretly has a crush on Fleettail Nachasch, the smart strategist in the cave. She considers both of their stripes a good match.
