Bleeding Moon Dragons are mostly nocturnal creatures. When outside in the sun, the small red spatters on their back grow and spread, making the dragons appear to “bleed.” It is said that the darker the shade of red, the more aggressive the dragon. Their tail barbs contain a powerful neuro-toxin which they use to subdue their prey. They are solitary creatures except when mating, preferring to dwell in the caves in mountains or other high places. Their large wingspan makes them fast flyers as well as fast runners, but they prefer to glide instead. Males are very competitive and will try almost everything to impress females, who will choose their mates based on speed and performance. Juveniles tend to form bachelor groups once fledged.

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.

Nightblue won't admit it if you ask her, but she's depressed. She refuses to leave the alpine regions most of the time, except during the night or when a special event is going on. She doesn't tend to talk to others and avoids social interactions as much as possible. When she was still a hatchling, she was always the smart and sassy one: providing useful information, talking it up, and letting others know exactly what she thought of them. Almost everyone knows what she's looking for to pull herself out of her depressed state, though: another Bleeding Moon dragon who understands how she feels to give her something to be happy about.

Mostly, her friends think she's a lot more important than she thinks she is, and are hoping to bring some love into her life so that they can talk to her more.
