Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable mate.

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.

Out of all the dragons in the cave, Starr can fly the fastest. She is agile, quick, and clever, which was essential when she lived in the tropics. Knowing she had to find a different lifestyle than watching all the (cute) surfer dudes, she set out to find a nice home somewhere. Soon, Starr found a cozy little cave, where she found a large group of dragons. They took her in warmly, and Veckie soon found a job for her to do: teaching hatchlings how to fly! Starr is very good at this job, and she has taught a great deal of the hatchlings. Even though Starr says she absolutely doesn't, Veckie observes that Starr always blushes whenever she sees Zoey 20555's Joe Jiey. Once, Joe had the sense to think that she liked him and chased her down, and then Starr got really annoyed and knocked him out. Technically, she's really nice to everyone but Joe.
