Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Rutignir (her name means "red fire" in ancient draconic) loves to fight.  She will attack other dragons just for sport, and battle until they surrender.  Because of her extremely violent nature, Rutignir was banished from the royal palace.  She does not mind, however, as this gives her more time to battle other dragons.  When no dragon dares to challenge her, Rutignir will even go against the normal red dragon characteristics, and will burn down a few human towns.

     Because of her violent personality, it was natural for Rutignir to join the winged dragons.  She does not mind that to do so, she must betray her parents, brother, and nephew.  Her only thoughts are of revenge for her banishment, and her lust for battle.
