Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

Bella is much like Maeyella the Red dragon in that she loves to act as a surrogate mother to hatchlings whose parents either cannot be bothered with them or do not live within the cave. Her gentle nature puts any hatchling at ease, and she is a skilled hunter, so she can provide for the many mouths to feed. Bella has a healthy temper, only ever losing her cool if there is immediate danger. Though she is small and not a great fighter, she will do whatever she can to defend her "children."
