Dark Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The males guard their territory and eggs while the females search for meat to eat. Dark Lumina Dragons are much meaner than their cousins.

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.

Ashes of Ignis lives up to her dragon type's standards: she is vain and haughty. She has a shallow idea that somehow being caveborn and pureborn makes a dragon better. She believes she is above taking orders from half-breeds or rejects, and is always challenging Sky Puddles's leadership, despite having no leadership qualities herself (though she'll just say hers are too good to use for her dinky little dragon group).

She once rejected a mate, even though she found him smarter than most because he agreed with her on her ideals, simply so her lineage could be pure.
