Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn’t true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vines are sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they usually kill all plants around them and thus are usually surrounded by a large clearing.

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.

Alternative Girl is a bit of an outsider. She feels like she doesn't belong. In part this is due to the fact that her egg was laid in another cave, and then abandoned. This feeling of having been unwanted remained during her early hatchlinghood, but after some time, she developed friendships with some of the other hatchlings. But she looked somewhat different from the other Vine dragons, wearing different types of flowers and arranging her vines in a different way. Some of the other hatchlings had a difficult time interacting with her.

Now as an adult, she is still an outsider, burying herself when she wants to be alone, which is often the case.  But she is proud of what she is, and she feels she looks exactly like she is supposed to look, exactly like she found a place where she belongs, even if that place is away from the crowd.
