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.

His name means "Dark" in Japanese. He is a son of Eiji and Kamiko, who love their son dearly. Since he was not raised by Ember dragons, he didn't inherit the aggressive temperament that makes the breed notorious. Instead he is merely competitive and very self-assured. With his long and low body, dark hide, and softly glowing markings, he is a very unusual looking dragon. He is very close to Remy, the only human in the valley, because she lets him have the embers after she has a bonfire. He is mated to Hitodama, and loves is beautiful and fiery mate with all his heart and more. They met casually through some friends, and then sparks flew (literally). They became mates on a clear night, soon after Spring had begun. They are so in love, and look forward to being together, forever.
