Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable 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.

Spiraling Stripe was very young when he discovered he had a talent for flying. Aerial maneuvers and graceful breathtaking spectacles came to him as easily as sleeping and eating. Making use of his talents, he decided to travel the world and perform for dragons and humans alike. He earns a comfortable living with the food and gold he brings in from performing. His tricks are enough to allow him to avoid other sorts of jobs such as food gathering that many of the other dragons in the cave are forced to do to survive. His job does have its disadvantages though. The large amount of flying he performs wears down his body and often leaves him sore and tired. Also the constant travel required causes him large amounts of stress and anxiety, but even considering this, he tends to be even tempered and cheerful.
