Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Blakiu is one of the elders of her tribe. She was discovered as an egg in the back of a cave after an earthquake that resulted in the disappearance of the previous inhabitants. She was raised by the tribe's healer, a White dragon, and gained a sweet temperament from her. While friendly, Blakiu is also very shy, and is hard to gain the trust of. For the most part, she either tidies up in the caves or talks with the White dragon that raised her.
