Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

My Love  is not at all like most Hellfire Wyverns. Having been hand-raised by a wild Mint dragon, he is unusually friendly, although he can seem a bit cynical and aloof at times. Though friendly, he is very serious and rarely laughs or even smiles; though his friends keep urging him to do so, he wants to 'appear dignified and serious'. Abira has despite herself fallen madly in love with him, going so far as to follow him around, calling him "My Love". This gave rise to his current name-he used to be called Wally Wyvern.
