Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Desertsun is no pushover, in fact she is the one doing the pushing around her part of the desert. But she is also not the royal type who demands work from the others. Desertsun can hold her own quite well and wants nothing more than to be the only spitfire in the entire desert. But being violent does not make her stupid, she is very sophisticated and spends her free time philosophizing and collecting items from various humans that dare wander her territory. Not even the strongest male dares to mess with this highly aggressive female, which means she has little to no chance of finding a mate.
