Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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.

Rikki is definitely a trickster. She's twisted tails together, torn at wing membranes, tripped, tackled, and has done everything else she can think of to the other dragons. She doesn't seem to care too much if she hurts them either, as long as she gets her laughs. Some of her less harmful tricks are funny, but a lot of them are dangerous.

Rikki isn't really aware of how much she can hurt the other dragons emotionally with her tricks. If one of them starts crying, she isn't really sure why. She's always willing to say sorry later when she realizes she's hurt them, although she's never sure why they were hurt.
