Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Other Side always dreams of the good life other dragons lead. Those living with other, bigger clans get all the advantages of many dragons to protect them. Those living in smaller clans get a lot of attention far easier than she ever could. Those living on their own never need to ask for anyone's opinion before doing what they want. Other Side often wishes she could be one of those dragons. But she is far too cowardly to ever try and actually become one of them.
