Heartstealing Dragons are an unusual breed, named for their mating rituals. These dragons use their long, slender bodies to sneak into both human and dragon holds to steal things over the year. Then, when the right season hits, they give away their entire hoard as gifts, leaving things in the homes of other dragons to attract them. When these gifts are found, however, the recipients can’t always tell who gave the gifts. This receiver often assumes the source of the gift was the original owner, causing them to form friendly bonds with other dragons in the area, spreading peace—and sometimes even sparking love. The only way to know if a gift is from a Heartstealing Dragon is to find one of their wafer-thin scales at the scene.

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.

"Simply Fred." That's the only response you'll ever get out of her when asking about her name, and it's usually followed by a soft giggle. Most of the time, Simply Fred seems to be a rather aloof, carefree, and almost lazy dragon. However, the closer one gets to February, the more excited she becomes, and her more energetic side is shown.

She's a very eager and impatient love fool, which sometimes leads her to cause quite a bit of trouble. As a hatchling, she clumsily stole, lost and misplaced items belonging to the other dragons all over the cave, accidentally creating fights and arguments that almost split up both old friends and dragons who had been loving mates for years.

Despite the trouble she causes at times, she never gets discouraged. Simply Fred is determined to learn from her past mistakes and try to make every season of love better than the last one, for herself and for all the dragons in the cave.
