Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The orange variant is called Spessartine. These Pyralspites are more fun-loving and mellow than others, and are optimistic as a whole. Their preferred habitat is coastal areas.

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.

Due to her inbred lineage, Iri has defects such as being unable to breathe fire normally (as in only being able to produce a puff of weak fire), and being born with smaller wings than normal. Her temperament is bone-chillingly sweet for her kind. She evades specific questions with a smile and cold eyes.

In the past, she was never really a part of anything- and simply wandered about aimlessly. Her small wings made flight difficult, so she relied upon her speed on the ground.

She met her chosen kin when she found her meal scavenged by a small group of misfits, and another Pyralspite, however it was a vicious Almandine that nearly murdered her at first sight.

She still remains a creepy kind of dragon (albeit very sweet), and finds herself very reliant on the Almandine she had met.
