Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Raised by Patronos,a Sunsong Amphiptere,Cinzas had always wanted to be as agile as him in flight. He is also the only dragon Cinzas does not mind being with and she often turns to him for advice. Cinzas can be seen roving the grasslands,where most of her scroll mates live,and keeping a constant lookout for possible threats. She does not particularly like being with other dragons (with the exception of Patronos) and is content with doing everything alone. She enjoys rolling in piles of hot ashes and can be found sleeping in one at night. Though she may seem aloof at first,Cinzas is actually very patient and loving.
