Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Cinderflank is a rebel dissenter in Feline clan. She is sneaky, grouchy, mean-spirited, hateful, self-serving, but loyal to those who think like her. She follows Paleheart and supports his desired leadership wholeheartedly and isn't devoted to Redthroat's sympathizers at all. She detests the Bright-Breasted wyvern Alpha and hopes that someone will someday be able to drive her out or kill her.

   Cinderflank is an average Ember dragon with hardly any "fire" markings on her face or chest. What little she has is on the bones of her fleshy, thick wings. She is not a good flier, but she's good at slinking along in the shadows especially since she doesn't have very bright fire markings.
