Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Red dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren't evil creatures as depicted in myths and won't go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

This dragon hatched about the same time as its siblings Lilac, Humphree, and Herburt. While Freetz' siblings were bickering amongst themselves as typical hatchlings, Freetz set out to exploring. Having uncovered the ruins of a long ago lost castle, Freetz was fast to claim the castle as her own. Perched high atop the broken tower walls, Freetz guards her territory from all threats real or imagined. Some say this dragon guards an especially great treasure deep in the depths of Castle Red Stone.
