Valentine eggs are only seen once a year. Adults’ mating seasons are very short, usually spanning a few weeks in the mid-to-late winter. These dragons were once reputed to be omens of good luck in love.

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 snooty elitism of Caressa is well known throughout the clans, as she near refuses to have contact with dragons outside of the Celestial Clan, looking down her nose as what she deems are the "common" all year round dragons that "litter" the cave she lives in. While she will frequently show falsified affection to the fellow dragons in her clan, referring to them all as "Darling", and often giving them what she deems helpful comments on how they could improve their look, she will give outsiders the cold shoulder. Despite all her personality flaws, Caressa is incredibly beautiful, and will often be the desirable object of courting males. Surprisingly, Caressa finds little satisfaction in turning these males down, as she considers it is an insult they courted her in the first place. Her infamous rivalry with Mewnol is well renowned, as neither can stand the other in their presence, but gives Caressa a distraction to focus her petty dislike on, instead of taking it out on everyone else.
