Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s 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.

Those who meet Midnights Thunder for the first time believe her to be a very quiet and shy dragon. It is true, she loves hiding quietly in the shadows, but the moment she thinks the others are oblivious she'll shot forward and roar as loud as she can.

Her parents tolerated this as long as she was a hatchling, but now that she has grown up they keep criticizing her for her childish behavior. But as long as she has the adoration of her younger brother Midnights Lightning said behavior is unlikely to change.
