Grave Dragons are not named for their connections to death or burial, but for the grave expression on their faces. This strange expression is used as a defense mechanism that causes fits of panic and terror in potential predators. Since they only eat ash and charcoal, they do not hunt. Grave Dragons are powerful fire-breathers and have been known to burn down forests and villages alike to make meals. It is believed that the markings on each Grave Dragon’s wings are the faces of those who have lost their lives in fires started by that dragon.

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.

Unlike her stern mate Dostivus, Ehsivee is a very fair critic who is always sure to give constructive criticism whilst not shoving her opinion down your throat. However, perhaps due to the general bad reputation that critics have or her mate's unbearable presence, Ehsivee is often judged before she even arrives. When she tries to steer fledgling writers and artists in the right direction, they often lash out at her and call her very upsetting things, and completely disregard any opinions she has. Even worse, Ehsivee is a very sensitive dragon and both a writer and an artist. When she is slammed on arrival as she often is, she spends the afternoon crying into Dostivus' wing or burning copies of her own art to consume. Perhaps seeing his mate like this so often is the reason Dostivus is such a stern jerk, leading to a cruel cycle. However, no matter how many times she's knocked down, Ehsivee will continue to try and better the art community however she can, picking herself up every time.
