Carmine Wyverns are active predators found most commonly in tropical regions. They have a poor sense of smell and are primarily dependent on sight and sound to hunt. These dragons are lightweight and quick, and tend to flee from rivals rather than attempt to fight. When a confrontation does occur it usually involves large amounts of posturing and displaying to make the wyverns appear larger and stronger than their opponents, and one will often surrender and leave without a fight ever actually occurring. They are dedicated parents and usually mate for life, though the degree of loyalty to a partner varies between individuals and within individual pairings.

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.

Carmine Zizqua is very loud. She loves speaking her mind, and she believes this habit makes other dragons around her feel comfortable knowing she's always telling the truth, but it's exactly the opposite. While everyone wants to hear a sincere thought from time to time, this certain wyvern would be too much to bear because once she starts talking, she never stops.

Her mate and also her best friend, a Ridgewing, is currently trying to teach her about silence, but this "silence" thing sounds like some occult science to Carmine Zizqua.
