Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

MaaUi lives on a desert island in the middle of the Southern Ocean, some distance east of the South Sisters Islands and presumably the remnants of a long-extinct part of the chain that has yet to finish eroding into the depths. There isn't much there other than sand and palm trees, which suits her just fine. There is nothing to lure others onto her territory, so she can perfect her glass-sculpting and hunt for snakes or fish with glass traps of her own design. She does get lonely during the breeding season, and if a marine dragon happened by while the feeling was upon her, she would be willing to court.
