Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

With a lineage composed entirely of matings between the exalted metallics and the humbler striped dragons, one might think this female would feel rather cheated to have been born with the characteristics of the latter as opposed to the beauty of the former. She, however, doesn't give a hoot about whether or not her scales glitter, and instead takes pride in both her family history and her own beauty--her lack of external brilliance led her into developing a talent for cosmetics and jewelry-crafting, a gift she happily shares with anyone else interested in making the best of their appearance, no matter what that appearance may be.
