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.

Elizabeth and her former mate Jack are both members of the Moonsilver Artists' Association. The two used to only perform their songs together and were very popular among the younger audience. Their songs featured a variety of instruments and was more rock - a term of admiration coined by their Earth dragon fans - than most of the other artists in the clan.

They continued their musical collaboration even after they broke up as mates, yet after a while they stopped performing together. Elizabeth has extreme stage fright and although she loves music, she hasn't found the strength to perform in front of other dragons since she ended her artistic partnership with Robert. Today Elizabeth spends her time among the hatchlings, listening to other performers and only sometimes making loud, lively music for her own entertainment.
