Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, larger in males, aiding both in digging up food and protection when fighting for mates. Males are duller in color than females due to their habit of wandering from nest to nest and picking from less algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Cornelia was found as an egg by a peasant boy named Match who had no idea how to check the gender of a dragon. Assuming the hatchling was female because the egg was pink, Match immediately established with the aggressive hatchling that its name was Cornelia. He kept the hatchling until it was too big and aggressive to be kept at his place anymore. He then sadly gave it over to its current owner, the wizardess Kaoru.

To this day, Cornelia will respond to no other name than his given one. He is aggressive and dominant like most flamingos, though he's much like a big teddy-bear when the peasant boy comes to visit. Being the only Flamingo of Kaoru's Cave, Cornelia prefers to be solitary most of the time and has yet to choose a mate: he probably never will. One thing is for sure, though: Cornelia is loyal to the end to any who get on his good side.
