Ultraviolet Dragons are a heat-loving breed that are most commonly found in hot, arid environments. These hardy dragons are omnivorous and will eat both plant and animal matter, even species with thorny physical defenses such as cacti. They are generally peaceful and often quite friendly, but males will become aggressive and cantankerous during the breeding season. Intense fights take place over females, sometimes resulting in injury for both combatants.

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.

Apricca Fine Vieolit is the only child of Pulummus Regalius and Sixy Looker Bleu. Though, if you were to ask Sixy, she would never be able to tell Apricca apart from any other dragon. When Apricca hatched, her mother never gave her any love or attention. Other, ruder hatchlings would tell her it was because her mother only gave birth to her in order to compare herself to Incendie Blue, the leader of the Spitfires. Knowing she was not born out of love, Apricca felt unworthy of love from others, something that nearly broke her father's heart.

As Apricca grew older, she found herself as the object of Knightly Vieolit's affections. This surprised her greatly, as Knightly was the child of Incendie Blue. His kindness gave her butterflies, and his love gave her the happiness she had been missing. The pair eloped in secret, fearing the anger her mother would surely have. However, once their first child had hatched, they returned to the caves, much to the joy of his parents and her father.
