Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Pepper Eclaire is bold, headstrong, and always speaks his mind. This might sound noble yet is extremely stupid, since he always gets himself into trouble being so blunt. Pepper can fortunately fight very well because of his black dragon ancestor, a true warrior. He has an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations. Pepper Eclaire picks up on little cues which go completely unnoticed by most others, such as facial expressions and stance. Pepper is typically a couple of steps ahead of the person he is interacting with. This appears to others as if he can really read minds. He uses this ability to get what he wants out of a situation. Rules and laws are seen as guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates. If Pepper has decided that something needs to be done, then his "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precedence over the rules. However, Pepper tends to have his own strong belief in what's right and what's wrong, and will doggedly stick to his principles.
