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.

Alisaundre is a stubborn female. She only does what she wants and isn't afraid of getting into a fight. She is able to kill opponents just because they're in her way or if they're annoying her. Beware if one finds her bored; it's said she's slightly sadistic in boredom. Alisaundre doesn't really care about real love. She likes to make the males obedient and inferior to her. She has a je-ne-sais-quoi upon her that makes her attractive to even the most shy of the males. She dislikes Daryla but likes the group feeling in the cave, and that's probably the only reason why she stays.
