Misfit Pygmies are brightly-colored dragons who love to make life miserable for other creatures. When several Misfits group together, it is certain that there is mischief afoot. They do everything they can to tease, causing general mayhem for all. Misfit Dragons will steal food from beneath other dragons’ noses both for fun, and to fill their bellies. While they are known for their tricks and pranks, they have a rarely-displayed sweet side and will search out little treasures to present to their chosen mate.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Emerson loves to make mischief. Being a small, daring prankster, her goal is to cause as much chaos and make as many pranks on dragons bigger than herself and make it out alive. Her favorite target is Willborne, mostly because she's usually the calmest of those around her, and she's nocturnal. Every once in a blue moon, Emerson will drive her over the edge and the chase begins; a tiny maniacal chatterbox being chased by a furious blue dragon. Even though Emerson causes a lot of mayhem, she does have her good moments. She'll always apologize to Willborne once the dragon calms down (even if Emerson doesn't sincerely mean the apology) and sometimes the pygmy dragon will quiet down just long enough for everyone to catch a break and some sleep.

To go with her personality, Emerson has a natural mischievous glint in her ruby eyes. She has light turquoise scales with small orange stripes along her tail.
