Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Miss Behave wasn't a very obedient or patient hatchling, so unruly that his guardians named him Behave, similar to how humans might name their children nice words like Charity, Hope, and Rolex. Years of careful parenting seemed to work, as the heartseeker mellowed out once he reached adulthood. He met humans a week out of the year when he was in his twenties and found them so intriguing that he visited them more and more to find out what they're up to. One city in particular now knows him so well that he might as well reside there. Miss Behave's learned many things about various customs in the region and tries to follow them, but there are some rules that he hasn't grasped. He knows many young, unmarried humans who have "Miss" before their name, and while he has a partner, he isn't willing to go through a process which seems to involve fancy clothes and signing of documents. For reasons he doesn't understand, some humans balk at calling him Miss.
