Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

Ginger is a chronically ill dragon, affected since she was in her egg. She was always weak, they had noticed, once she hatched; she stayed away from other hatchlings and their playful antics. She often ran a high fever and moped around the island.

One hatchling her age, Only, sought her out every time she felt down; she often rejected his attempts at affection, much to the latter's disappointment. As years passed, however, she began to latch onto him, letting him care for her and guard her while she rested. When their relationship first started, she could only conceive one egg for a long time, her daughter, Honey- Lemon. In fact, she and her daughter look so alike, Only sometimes gets them mixed up!

However, luck has brought them another egg as of September, and Ginger looks forward to having two daughters to look after.
