Flamingo Wyverns are so named for their resemblance to the tropical birds with whom they often share territory. Their most striking feature is the bony black crest over their faces and snouts, smaller in females, aiding both in digging up food and protection from attack. Females are noticeably brighter than males due to their habit of not straying far from particularly algae-rich feeding grounds.

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.

Mara Fireheart is very kind and compassionate for a Flamingo Wyvern. She would readily attack anything that poses a threat to her loved ones. She often attacks Zebeth Lightning-Dancer, an aggressive Electric dragon, for no particular reason, other than the fact that she can sense Zebeth's hostility.

She enjoys reading scrolls with a small Mint dragon called Grenkit, and acting-out stories with a Pygmy dragon named Flora Golden-Soul.

Mara has large horns for a female Flamingo dragon.
