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.

Much like Silverlight, Starkittens is protective and loving. She adores her child and goes out of her way to protect it in any way possible. She and Silverlight are dedicated to raising their child to be a good dragon and a perfect silver dragon who is a credit to the cave.
