Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Tsuihousha was cast out of his birth clan and pure white striped family the moment his egg was laid. Left abandoned in a cave he was found and adopted by a new Cave Mistress, who took him to the dragon clan she had raised.

Shortly after he came of age the clan leader and his mate birthed another daughter. At first Tsuihousha showed little interest in this new princess, but after meeting her shortly after her own coming of age day he was entranced by her beautiful blue eyes and touched by her kind words. From then on he vowed he would do everything in his power to protect her and has been escorted her as her bodyguard ever since.
