Turpentine Dragons are named for the oil that covers their scales. This oil resembles turpentine in odor and is mildly toxic; it will not kill but it burns to the touch and will cause illness in anyone who ingests it. Turpentine Dragons roam in large packs, often stealing food from larger dragons, though they are able to hunt for themselves if necessary. Many other breeds consider Turpentine Dragons to be pests, so they primarily breed among themselves.

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.

Francessca is a carefree and naive dragon. Gullible, she is likely to believe anything the other dragons tell her, even if it's of the most ridiculous claim. She appears to be completely blind to her lack of intelligence, or perhaps she does notice but couldn't care less. Despite her airy personality, she always treats the other dragons with respect, even to a point where she could be considered a pushover. Although, it's to be believed this is only because she does not want to feel as if she is mistreating another, even if they're taking advantage of her simple personality and manipulating her to do their bidding. Francessca has yet to learn to stand up for herself and see that the population is not all as kind as she wants to believe.

Overall, she is a pleasant and optimistic dragon, despite her lack of common sense.
