Olive Dragons are a small, forest-dwelling breed, rarely growing much larger than the average sheep. When alarmed, they can erect a long row of venomous spines on their back, serving to warn any potential predators that Olives are not a good choice for a meal. While not strong enough to kill anything larger than a small deer, their venom causes an extremely painful reaction and necrosis at the bite site, sometimes causing the flesh to rot and limbs to fall off.

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.

Sesame can't remember her family, her clan or anything from her early hatchling years. Her earliest memories are of her trying to survive on the streets of a busy, ugly human city, always hiding away from the big, scale-less, scary bipedals. During those years Sesame has had some pretty severe traumatic experiences and she grew up to become an extremely distrusting young dragoness who only really relies on herself.

On a journey away from the human city she met up with a ragtag group of dragons who basically bullied her into accompanying them. Sesame really doesn't know how to deal with these dragons as they genuinely act nice toward her and seem to care. Actually that frightens her a bit. But luckily Celebel and Amber are pretty patient when it comes to her.
