Valentine eggs are only seen once a year. Adults’ mating seasons are very short, usually spanning a few weeks in the mid-to-late winter. These dragons were once reputed to be omens of good luck in love.

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.

Maria Ark is a sweetheart that loves to daydream. Maria was adopted by Elmer Ark when she arrived to the cave as a hatchling, and was soon accepted into the Ark family. Maria's best friend and adoptive brother is Shade Ark, who treasures her more than himself. She was raised by Elmer alongside Shade's first child, Rose Ark. They are like sisters, and love one another. Maria fell in love with Gray Tempura, though because he is another Valentine dragon, they can never have children together. They avoid this painful topic at all costs. Maria can have one baby for her, which she looks forward to. She has picked out a name (Luna, by the way) and everything. Maria can't wait for next Valentine's Day.
