Sunset Dragons are closely related to sunrise dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunset Dragons generally live alone or in small packs. They are more active in the evening, hunting and performing all of their daily tasks as the sun sets.

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.

In the late hours she exists, her scales glittering in the moonlight. Her mind is clear in the frosted twilight. It's a trait of her fathers, as is her independence and extreme will power.

As an infant, Licenziare L'Opale, The Fire Opal, was mostly abandoned by her father. Truth of the matter was, he had no choice. With Blu constantly working to bring Glac down, it isn't safe for him to have any attachments. Zia hadn't even known who he was until she had grown her wings.

Though raised by Jakkhin and Akkihina (her own mother was far too immature), Zia lives and breathes in hopes of becoming just like her father, although she will not openly admit it. But Ferox doesn't trust her. Her mother is an Elder. So she has almost a forced position in Nebbia.

Then she met him, the rudest most arrogant creature ever allowed to live in her eyes. It doesn't matter what Red does. What gifts he lavishes on her or vows he makes to her. Her disdain for him is like a bitter taste on her tongue.
