Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Luaithrigh Ag Fail Bhais has a very boisterous personality. Although her breed is somewhat feared,Luaithrigh Ag Fail Bhais has proven to her family, and many others, that Ember Dragons are not as bad as they seem. Although she is defensive towards new people or new hatchlings, the young dragon has a warm heart and will warm up quite quickly when shown that there is no need to fear. Luaithrigh Ag Fail Bhais spends her days on the volcanic islands that reside in her family's territory, but has been known to fly to the mainland at night to offer the others warmth and security.
