Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Sukistorm is a highly skilled fighter who is the leader of an elite, all female group called the Kyoshi Warriors. None of the other dragons know how the name came about, but the Warriors claim it's the name of their founder from centuries ago. Despite her prowess in battle, she is actually friendly, loves to joke around, and doesn't mind watching and playing with the hatchlings.  However, she sometimes has a bit of a temper. In fact, when they first met, she challenged Sokkafang, who is now her mate, to a sparring match because he claimed he could best her because she "fights like a girl". He soon learned his lesson, the two became great friends, and he is now an honorary member of the Warriors, along with their son, Lizardwing.
