Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Ansata Gialam is a nervous and hostile dragon. She is placed at the bottom of all the females in her small pack, and this makes her extra aggressive towards the males below her, and wary about the females above her. She isn't bullied nearly as much as she could have been, but she came from another pack, and there she was also at the bottom, and was bullied badly. Therefore, she has scars everywhere, and reduced eyesight in her left eye. Whenever the pack increases via a hatchling, Ansata Gialam steps up to the role as a protector and baby-sitter. She isn't nearly as aggressive towards unfamiliar dragons as the other dragons, but she still will not go near them unless she has to, and will be the first one to attack if she feels threatened.
