Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.

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.

Haima is one of the most violent dragons in her Cave. She has a Spitfire's typical temper, which has been reinforced by her bloody lineage. Her wings are tattered, with rough edges, and twisting scars are visible all along her torso. She is always up for a fight, claiming the battle-rush helps her to think. After a battle, regardless of the outcome, she returns to her cave to practice her glassblowing, often leaving a faint trail of blood in her wake.

She is known for her sculptures, which tend to be winding and complex. Their abstract appearances hide sharp edges, and many dragons have learned the hard way not to handle the works of art. The most distinctive aspect of her designs is the rusty swirl of color that runs through many of her sculptures. The colors of the pieces vary slightly, but each takes on a reddish hue when viewed in the light.

It's often been said that Haima puts something of herself into each of her works.
