Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Oshina is a proud red dragon. She guards the eggs of the clan and manages the furnace of a certain human blacksmith she befriended, in exchange for nice trinkets and pieces of metal. She takes pride in being like a typical "fairy tale" dragon, hoarding treasures and challenging human warriors to high stake battles, sometimes even to their death.

She is especially proud of her clan and any supposed injury to her pride is never left to fester without swift punishment upon the offender, with Oshina often taking a prize of whatever possessions were on the human or dragon that was foolish enough to insult her.

To the humans who dwell within her clan's territory, she often takes to training with them, especially the young children, in the ways of swordsmanship and dragon fighting. She uses herself as a training dummy of sorts, though she has yet to be bested or even injured in these friendly duels.
