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.

Belumina is very beautiful, and knows it.  She grooms her scales for hours every day until they glow like the sunset, and prospective suitors must be prepared to praise her beauty.  Surprisingly, though, she's had quite a few would-be mates, each convinced that he will be the one to win her heart.  Since the dragon that Belumina loves most is herself, however, all have failed, and those males that do catch her attention leave in disgust when they realize just how shallow she is.
