Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Princess Sequoia enjoys lounging around in the sun, sleeping for most of the afternoon. If she is bothered during her nap, she can and will retaliate with her flame breath. When she does awake from her afternoon naps, the sun has often set already, and she will be too well rested to actually sleep at night, resulting in her becoming partially nocturnal. She has a few friends, one of which is a rather outgoing (At least by his standards) Mint Dragon. He gives Sequoia tips for things like how to improve the efficiency of her glass caves.
