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.

Mukaebi drifted through her adolescence wrapped in a veil of romantic daydreams. She lazed in the fields, planning how her perfect mate would fall madly in love with her. The other dragons consider Rinbyoutou a foolish eccentric for campaigning against evil in the human lands, but Mukaebi thought it was adorable. Intending to dazzle the object of her affections, she stalked Rinbyoutou's caves until his next return to the Kyokos Vale—and her delusions began to crumble. Battle scars might look dashing, but battle wounds were messy and painful. Steeling herself, she stayed by Rinbyoutou's side as he recuperated, and learned that while he was handsome and kind and sincere, he was also frustratingly stubborn and prone to airs and far too cavalier with his life. Puppy love transformed into something wiser, and Mukaebi has begun training so that she can accompany her beloved. In the meantime, all she can do is worry, and remind Rinbyoutou that someone is waiting to welcome him home.
