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.

Maybelle is a sweet girl who loves nothing more than to hunt bugs and laze about in the sun. She gets along exceptionally well with all of the other Striped dragons, and even manages to get along with some of the larger dragons. Maybelle has a funny habit of rolling about in piles of ash created by Maeyella's burning of leaves or twigs. As a result, often she is much darker than her normal skin pigment.
