Anagallis Dragons are a medium-sized omnivorous breed. Widespread and adaptable, their easygoing nature enables them to flourish under most conditions. They are social creatures, fun-loving and outgoing, and will readily defend smaller dragons from others’ aggression. They are fond of sunshine, and can often be found basking on rocks; on cloudy or stormy days they are more reluctant to venture out, and will often hide themselves away until the weather is more favorable.

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.

The sixteenth adopted child of the Mahogany Family and one of the eldest who still keeps family ties, Sixteenth sometimes wondered if her parents loved her as much as they loved their biological offspring, or if they were just taking abandoned eggs out of a sense of duty. She had nothing to fear: here she is, grown, well-adjusted (she thinks), and possessing basic survival skills. Along with her little sis Twenty-Eighth and a learned botanist in the nearby human-populated town, Sixteenth works in the Magic-Free Medicine Outpost. It's magic-free because they believe that ingesting magical substances is not good for one's health and should be avoided. When other members of the Mahogany family come to buy something or just visit, the other two proprietors are busy and are nowhere to be found, so Sixteenth cheerfully "hosts" them alone. She likes seeing their friendly faces once in a while, though she tires of their remarks about why her business sells this or that and not this or that.
