Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Jace's stripes have a bright yellow-gold shimmer that is all the more vivid because of the ruby red scales that cover the rest of his body. The Golden Wyverns in Laura-Lana's clan consider him the most beautiful of all Stripes in the clan, and the female Golden Wyverns mourn that Jace's interest is limited to female Stripes when it comes to mating.

Jace is rather levelheaded, and like his great-grandfather, Loki, he doesn't believe in the teaching of the 'Stripes of Hogwarts' cult.
