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.

Dawn was horribly teased as a child because the other hatchlings felt that he'd been given a girl's name.  Oddly enough, Dawn never really seemed to notice.  Ever since he first peeked his head out from his egg, Dawn has been lost in his own little world.  He is extremely curious, but also very absentminded, and is prone to wandering off in the middle of a conversation in order to follow his most recent interesting thought.  He is also a little gullible, which makes it easy for malicious dragons to take advantage of him.  Despite this, he maintains a trusting, happy-go-lucky nature, and he truly believes the best of any and every dragon and human he meets.
