Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

Akagane Spirit is the protector of the hatchlings who live with the Ocean clan. She and her mate, Koppa Heart, watch over them and protect them from harm. When not on duty, she enjoys going for a swim in the ocean and sunbathing on the rocks near the nest. She is usually mild mannered, but the only time the hatchlings ever saw her furious was when Hakai Devil, a hellhorse, came to the nest, which was something she would not tolerate.
