Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

Garnet is often fed up with the antics of her brothers, Auburn and Jam. Between Auburn's excessive laziness and Jam's pompous attitude, Garnet finds herself perpetually annoyed by the both of them. So, she doesn't stick around the territory very much. Instead, Garnet prefers flying off and exploring the volcanic region her family calls home. She loves a good fight and will challenge other dragons she thinks are big or strong enough. She's a pretty intense, but still surprisingly honorable fighter. She never resorts to cheap tricks or backstabbing to get what she wants, she always stands firm and resolute in her desires. She also never steals kills from other dragons, not unless she has a valid reason to (well, valid by her standards, at least.) She prefers to do everything on her own and in her own way without outside help. This causes her to come off as cold towards others, which she can be absolutely. Garnet has a lot of stubborn pride to her, but she still remains smart and brave.
