Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The orange variant is called Spessartine. These Pyralspites are more fun-loving and mellow than others, and are optimistic as a whole. Their preferred habitat is coastal areas.

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.

Olofsson is a musician. She can play 23 instruments, 16 of them percussive, and has a pleasant hum. She chooses a few to play every show, allowing a variety of musical styles. Curiously, her singing sounds better when she has a sore throat, her playing is more "spirited" if she is ill, and her pyrotechnics show comes in a wider range of hues when she's afflicted with a malady. Dragons and humans like listening to her, though if she's not feeling well, most of the audience will have shielding or preventative spells up so they wouldn't catch what she has. Evidently, they don't share Olofsson's optimism that they "probably will be fine". Watching an ailing performer is gross for some and makes many others worry for her, but there's no doubt she plays some sick beats.
