Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Leopardheart is one of the founding members of Silvre's flock of Bright-Breasted Wyverns. She is the oldest female in the group, and is quite proud of that fact. As with most of her species, she is quite vain. However, her vanity is mostly related to her high ranking in the clan and her caveborn status. Her markings are more subtle than most Bright-breasted Wyvern's- the red is the color of mulled wine, and the green reminiscent of a mysterious jungle rather than a bright emerald. She is a strong fighter and not unwilling to claw her way to the top. She has the gift of diplomacy, always able to phrase what she wants to say eloquently enough to avoid ruffling any feathers.  Her greatest weakness is her vanity and pride, as well as her obsession with her social standing. While she is normally fairly kind and diplomatic, she can become very manipulative to get something she wants.
