Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

Keahi is engaged in a fierce rivalry with her sister, Hestia. Both are powerful Copper hunters in their family and seek to be the very best. Hestia, being the responsible elder sibling, really just engages Keahi to make her feel better, but Keahi takes the competition very seriously. She isn't a smart dragon, though she is a truly skilled and efficient hunter. She has a hard time understanding turns of phrase, can't read emotions to safe her life, and is inept at most everything besides hunting. This is why she so fiercely aspires to be the best in her family, since she clearly can't do anything else. Keahi is wildly stubborn and protective. She actually isn't too warm toward her family, either getting annoyed with their quirks and habits or outright ignoring them to go practice hunting. She will not stand for anyone trying to take advantage of or hurt them, though. And, will swoop in to defend them. It's the one time she will work with Hestia, and the two make a good team.
