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.

TropicalEyes is a perfectionist that must do everything right. She feels that if what she does is not perfect then it is not worth doing. She spends hours perfecting one trick and very rarely spends less than two days on it. Her parents are more laid back and she admires that about them, she could never just sit around and do nothing. She wishes she could and promises that when she has perfected everything she can she will try to be more relaxed. The others doubt this and her parents face the fact that their daughter will never be able to just sit under the trees with them and watch the world. She has to be the world.
