Heartstealing Dragons are an unusual breed, named for their mating rituals. These dragons use their long, slender bodies to sneak into both human and dragon holds to steal things over the year. Then, when the right season hits, they give away their entire hoard as gifts, leaving things in the homes of other dragons to attract them. When these gifts are found, however, the recipients can’t always tell who gave the gifts. This receiver often assumes the source of the gift was the original owner, causing them to form friendly bonds with other dragons in the area, spreading peace—and sometimes even sparking love. The only way to know if a gift is from a Heartstealing Dragon is to find one of their wafer-thin scales at the scene.

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.

Be a Heartbreaker may be a Valentine dragon, famous for their exploits in romance and the bringing together of dragons, but she certainly doesn't act like one.

As is in her name, she's a heartbreaker.

She makes sure that she leaves a single scale behind at every den she sneaks into. She'll leave a gift sometimes, usually something flamboyant or expensive, but the scale will always be present.

And when she greets the crowds of dragons at her door come Valentine's Day, she'll reject all of them. She might show interest in one or two, but those dragons will ultimately be rejected as well.

She'll get them falling for her, falling for an absolute stranger, through her gifts and rituals. She'll sing love songs at other dragon's caves, only to break away and go out with a different one.

It's how to be a heartbreaker, she'll say.
