Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Delia is one of the many dragons rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. Her egg was found in the jungle and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once she matured, she found her lifemate, a Fever Wyvern, among the other AnselaJonla dragons. In the tradition of the AnselaJonla flock, both dragons took the same name, Arwen, to pass down to any of their offspring that remained within the flock.

As a Bright-Breasted Wyvern, Delia is extremely visible to anyone nearby. She's also rather vain, and so she likes to go and sit in human villages to be stared at and admired by the locals.

The smarter villagers see her as a good-luck charm, even if she does eat some of their livestock, because she drives off any predators lurking nearby as thanks for the meal and admiration. A single, usually old, sheep is a better price to pay than a whole flock lost to wolves, after all.
