Spinel Wyverns are small, sleek dragons that zealously collect spinel gemstones to line their nests. They are very affectionate with those they bond with, and will happily spend hours grooming a dragon of a different species if allowed to. Spinels are well-known for their even temperament, but when offended, they are very slow to forgive and will never forget. These wyverns will readily perform tasks in exchange for spinels, and occasionally other stones. Occasionally, they can be born with iridescent pale green scales instead of the usual rich red-violet.

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.

Calyx is quiet. That is the first thing you notice about her- not her pale green scales or deep emerald eyes. Most don't even notice her most of the time. She is that one dragon who is just in the corner minding her own business. Most of this isolation comes from her strange coloration. Her pale green scales mark her out, as an outsider in her community. Most of the dragons she sees on a daily basis just don't see her as a dragon worth taking notice. Her scales are not the usual rich magenta that embodies her kind. No, she's just a pale green ugly duckling. However, this lack of attention does not bother her, as she prefers the isolation that her color brings.

She does love one thing though--books. And everything about them. She loves the smell, and the texture of the paper. And most of all, she loves the words. She would spend days on end by herself, immersing herself into the world of books. The only ones who have ever tried to reach out to her... are those who are like her.
