Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s 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.

Ebihara fell in love with Fire of Blood at first sight and spent many months following him around. As Fire is the personal bodyguard of the clan leader, she became well acquainted with him and his mate. When Fire finally accepted her as his mate, Ebihara was ecstatic and started working on what she wanted most, a large family.

Ebihara has always wanted to be a mother and is at her happiest when she is surrounded by her eggs or hatchlings. However, once her children have grown and gone their own way she becomes depressed and withdrawn until Fire agrees to try for some more.
