Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a breed of dragon easily recognized by their bright red markings. They are a small breed, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their coloration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups.

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.

Most dragons and others that have met her would be quick to describe Gwynyth as a snob. She, on the other hand, doesn't think that's a fair evaluation: it's not her fault others are jealous. Gwynyth will admit that she's shrewd to a fault, but believes that to be preferable to ignorance. She also believes that unless someone is willing to work for her they are hardly worth her time. In this spirit Gwynyth has found the Bright-Breasted Wyvern by the name of Auger to be an excellent mate both for his intelligence and hard work invested in impressing her.
