Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s 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.

At a young age, Leaf was taken from her parents. Resulting in this she has developed a timid nature and scares quite easily. None the less she makes a surprisingly good nanny for the parentless eggs and hatchlings and seems determined to make them feel safe and happy. As for the hatchlings with parents in sight, she is cold, snappy and impatient at them and feels no obligation to take care of them as well.
