Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

DM was one of the dragons to arrive at the clan during the great Fractional Pie Day exodus of 36 AH. On her journey she had met several wonderful humans, like Hawktalon, but in the end she arrived at Herk's clan and was easily convinced to stay with this ragtag band of chaotic individuals.

DM is absolutely convinced that she is the pinnacle of dragon royalty, she is a Royal Crimson after all. The only thing bothering her is the black—or rather blue—mark on her heritage: her father was a Royal BLUE dragon. In her old home this kind of blemish would have been unforgivable if it had been discovered. Her new clan seems to have a strange fondness for this ninny blue wusses, so maybe it wouldn't be the complete end of her social status, but DM still rather not risk anyone finding out.
