Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

The Prince of Scarlet Roses is a rather timid dragon despite his title, and he does his utmost to avoid social situations. The Prince has few friends, and is rarely seen with them in public (save for the gregarious Radiant Angel, Amezyarak). When someone manages to break the ice without scaring him off, he's extremely fair and caring. His timidity makes him a poor debater and a worse fighter, so he generally lets the other "royals" in Guillotine's care operate in those arenas. He is not a smooth talker and frequently trips on his own words when nervous. He also has a nasty grumpy streak when out of his comfort zone, and tends to rely on Amezyarak to smooth things over when he bungles something because of this. The two are extremely close and are frequently held up as an example of true love within Guillotine's territory.
