Scimitar-wing Wyverns are a small breed, eating mainly birds and small vertebrates; as such, they lack the large teeth and heavy claws of their larger cousins. They are far from defenseless, however, and are named for the blade-like growth that forms over the first digit of their wings. The wyverns use these blades to defend themselves from any attacker. Their blades are quite strong and can cut through almost any scale or hide.

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.

Bladew loves hunting snacks. She enjoys swallowing swallows, finishing finches, and poaching pigeons. One time, she nearly pinched a songbird from Glassbird's aviary. The large scolding heard for miles was still talked about. And when Bladew sticks her (very snake-like) head out of the mounds of corpses to hiss a hello, it scares away any intruders who might want to come in through the night.

However, in actual fact, her clever, happy-to-help nature is unfortunately overshadowed by the piles and piles of dead birds remaining outside her bed.

(Not that she doesn't try to use it, of course. Bladew just scares off anyone who she tries to help, except the dragons.)
