Common Pygmies are sweet in temperament and palate. They spend a fair amount of time foraging for and scavenging food but have a particular fondness for sweet tasting treats, such as honey. When pickings are slim, they can hunt songbirds and small mammals. Common Pygmies stay in large groups, migrating alongside their food supply. Although capable of the same basic vocal sounds of most other dragons, Common Pygmies prefer to communicate through body language. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that Common Pygmy hatchlings are rather affectionate.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Her name means "Sparrow" in Japanese, since she's so tiny. She was adopted by Kentaro and Kiyomi, who love their tiny little daughter. Ironically enough, she's the most mature of her friends, even though she looks like she's still a hatchling. She is best friends with Aiko, Hotaru, and Tenryu. She is usually very calm and hard to upset, but if she gets ticked off, she's a little fire cracker. She loves playing with hatchlings, even if most of them are bigger than her. She is mated to Ryota, a handsome male pygmy who whisked her off her feet...Literally. He was racing with some friends, and needless to say, he managed to bump into her. Once her indignation resided, he asked to make it up to her. She calmed down, and agreed to dine with him. He managed to bring down a rabbit all by himself, just to impress her. It worked, they began courting, and eventually became mates. They are deeply in love, and are one of the cutest couples in the colony. They live together in Remy's cottage.
