Royal Blue dragons are a nocturnal breed who prefer to live high in the mountains near slow-moving water that reflects the night sky. Although quite capable of defending themselves, they are peaceful by nature and will avoid a fight whenever possible.

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.

Hellwa is a rather grumpy dragoness. While most of her clan mates, especially her Royal Blue brethren, are friendly to others, treat each other with respect, and try to help their fellow dragons out, Hellwa expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter. After all she is at least as royal as a Royal Crimson and royalty should be treated as such. She thinks it entirely unfair that her clan does treat everyone the same and judges them on the ground of character and achievement rather than on the grounds of breed or lineage. And if some of the fools fawn over anybody it's one of those stupid Golds instead of her. She wishes life would treat her the way she deserved.
