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.

Emerald was always the more timid of her kind, preferring to hide away in her own quiet sun patch, softly munching on her favorite fruit. Her smaller wing size often made her the laughing stock among the larger winged females, and she's since avoided them. Although an excellent and capable flier, Emerald often stays grounded during the day time, afraid of being seen by the others. She watches quietly from afar, dreaming of one day meeting the perfect mate.
