Lightning Pygmies are well-known as rumors but rarely seen. An ill-mannered breed, their confidence comes from the tremendous energy that they absorb from natural lightning bolts. They hunt in the middle of storms, reaching high speeds, and with the help of lightning magic they go after prey like a lightning bolt.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

True to her name, Maverick is a rampant daredevil and stunt coordinator. Even among other Lightning Pygmies, she is a force to be reckoned with, diving into literally hurricanes just for a rush. Her attitude is just as turbulent. Maverick is all about scaring others and making larger dragons feel like chickens. She is actively hostile and aggressive toward anyone she's unfamiliar with, often tossing stinging insults left and right with the speed of a raging jackhammer. It's impossible for anyone to keep up with her talking speed, but the stuff she says at that speed is still really hurtful. Sometimes, she doesn't even bother with the formality of words and just shocks anyone she doesn't like. In truth, however, there is a hidden sweet side Maverick keeps buried deep within her, a sweet side very, very few are familiar with. Her mate, Dawn, has seen how protective and loyal she is to those that do earn her trust, and he knows it is possible for her to open up in front of others.
