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.

Peridot, or Peridot Thuwed as she likes others to call her to show off her rare lineage, is a flashy and show-off dragon. She enjoys parading around villages, boasting about her vibrant green and yellow scales that she washes practically twenty times a day and her rare lineage. She is very chatty and likes to talk about who's hot and who's not. Her favorite mate as of now is a White Striped named White, but she has her eyes more on the flashy rares. However, she still stays with him because he manages to bribe her to be his mate with gold, silver, or a pretty new set of jewels.
