Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

In an old book that Pyra's hatcher had read, it was said that there existed a type of flame which could not be put out by water and was cool to the touch, but consumed any nonliving thing it was fed. These were Bluebell flames. Seeing his newest charge growing by the day, and reminded of these mythic flames by the young dragon's own bright blue markings, her owner named her Pyra Bluebell. She took to the name immediately, and, like her namesake, will only use her fiery breath on inanimate targets.

She has a fierce but loyal nature, though she often comes into conflict with her less morally-centered siblings. Often, she takes it upon herself to care for the eggs of her adoptive family. She feels, though, that a hatchling benefits from independence, and thus expels them from her care as soon as they can walk.
