Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Akahime's name means "Red Princess". She lives with her mate Deidarabocchi, an Earth dragon, in an old, abandoned, human settlement. She dislikes anything to do with the cold, and she also doesn't mind humans. That is, unless they attack her first. <br/>Sometimes she flies across the land still. She is searching for her first child, whom she lost soon after it was born.
