Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Ruby is an odd dragon. He is very overprotective of himself, partly because he feels he has a girl's name. He is also protective of his wife, Darling, and his children, and will defend them to the death, regardless of whether or not he agrees with them.

Ruby is quite insecure, and often needs someone to reassure him, and tell him that he's not a monster. Unfortunately, being a dragon, he is classed as a monster; something that will forever haunt him.
