Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Although BrightWing is small in size he can be quite fearsome. He and AmberWing are great friends, although Brightwing is younger, and can usually be found flying together. In fact, they do almost everything together. BrightWing is also friendly with Snow Angel, but they don't often spend much time in each others company. BrightWing would not hesitate to defend the band should trouble arise and is training alongside most of the other males to sharpen his fighting skills.
