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.

Selena Marine is fair, suave, discreet, cultured, frugal, precise, keen, gragarious and dependable. But Selena is also on bad days picky, sullen and cowardly.

A sense which allows her to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude or location. This sense has been proposed to explain her incredible navigational abilities.

This also allows Selena to quickly solve mazes, mists, stormy weathers, changing roads while she still knows where she is. Selena keeps her talent a secret, only her parents and master know of it.
