Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates.

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.

Eve is one of the few female dragons in her Clan. While she does like the attention she gets by being one of the only girls, she sometimes feel pressured to produce as many hatchlings as possible in order to keep the Clan going. Eve tries hard not to feel resentful of her eggs and hatchlings but sometimes she can't but wonder what her life would be like if she left the Clan and her responsibilities behind.
