Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

FlamesRising was never fully accepted among her clan. She was determined to be different, determined to be kinder. Her positivity and patience disgusted her parents so they practically ignored her for most of her development. Unfortunately, they payed for it. Since FlamesRising was a female, her father should have treated her with his foremost respect, but he didn't, and he was killed as punishment. FlamesRising's mother had threatened to do terrible things to her, blaming her for the death of her father. She'd had no choice but to run.

FlamesRising had run from the volcano, not stopping until she reached the nearest forest.

She still lives in that forest to this day, spending her days pranking other dragons but swears never to kill any soul unless in defence or for hunting purposes.
