Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Seraphim is the only child of Everoux who stays in The DarkWing Clan while her other brothers or sisters are sent to help other clans. It is not clear why she stays, but it is speculated that she was born with a curse to be unable to leave The Clan. As the daughter of the Leader of The Clan, Seraphim has been living to live up others' expectation which, surprisingly, she enjoys it so much. Not to mention, she is also strong, smart, and beautiful which results in many male dragons wanting her, though it is such a shame that her father has already arranged a mate for her. Feeling reluctant at first, Seraphim is now grateful to her father for finding her a wonderful mate, Siegmund.
