Carmine Wyverns are active predators found most commonly in tropical regions. They have a poor sense of smell and are primarily dependent on sight and sound to hunt. These dragons are lightweight and quick, and tend to flee from rivals rather than attempt to fight. When a confrontation does occur it usually involves large amounts of posturing and displaying to make the wyverns appear larger and stronger than their opponents, and one will often surrender and leave without a fight ever actually occurring. They are dedicated parents and usually mate for life, though the degree of loyalty to a partner varies between individuals and within individual pairings.

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.

Acarian is a rather flighty dragon, usually avoiding conflict with other residents on Dragon Isle. She spends most of her time in the hatchery caring for newborn dragons. She feels safest and most comfortable in the confines of the hatchery; it's just an added bonus that she gets to work with baby dragons. She has a strong maternal instinct and a deeply caring disposition, making her a valued member of the hatchery staff. Though a nervous dragon, she is a skilled nurturer, making her highly respected among the island's community.
