Mint colored dragons are the most peaceful of all dragons; they only eat plants unless they scavenge meat from an already dead animal. They also have no ways to attack others or defend themselves. They are much smaller than other forms of dragons since they only double in size when they mature. Mint dragons are unable to use magic and cannot fly since they lack wings. Their looks have given rise to the common insult of calling dragons “large lizards.”

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.

Hope nearly didn't make it as she had less than an hour to live. Thankfully, someone helped Evangeline, and the pretty little mint grew up. Her name is a reminder to never give up hope, no matter how impossible things seem.  

Being the first dragon in her cave to grow up, Hope is Evangeline's greatest pride and joy.

When Hope matured, she became Evangeline's first and official messenger. As Eva got more dragons she set Hope in charge of recruiting some of them as messengers. If Hope is seen darting about the cave, she might be delivering a message for Evangeline or one of her clan leaders if she is not managing the other messenger dragons.
