Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Kristycch is well-known as one of the most beautiful dragons around, with her dazzling turquoise wings and shining burgundy scales. Because of this, she has had many, many suitors over the years, all vying for her attention. With looks like hers, one would wonder why she hasn't already been paired up with some posh Prize Dragon with a fancy lineage. The truth is, she has, several times. The reasoning for this is that, like most female Hellfire Wyverns, Kristycch's personality can be (and often is) described as 'completely unbearable'. No dragon so far could stand to live with her for more than a week. They have always come running back to her caretakers, begging that they 'take her back'. Despite the growing number of horror stories telling of her egregious behavior and vicious temperament, she still has a long line of interested potential mates, all of whom are certain that they will be the one to change her and love her as no other dragon could.
