Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

Cardi is probably the most chill of the Crimscales, a large family of Royal Crimsons that rule over a very valuable piece of territory in Crimson Range. Most of the family is volatile, petty, and violent, with a major feud occurring between the two youngest siblings that has divided the family in two. Cardi couldn't care less about any of this. She's very lazy and careless in general, she is a Royal Crimson after all, and tries to avoid or ignore the frequent drama that goes on on a daily basis. In her mind, bickering and fighting is a waste of time, and she'd rather just relax. Some of her family likes her for this, as it makes her a nice neutral ground to escape to. Some aren't so keen though and bully her for this laid back attitude. Like everything else, Cardi just ignores it. She doesn't want to deal with any of the problems that surround her and would rather pretend they weren't there to begin with. As liberating as this feels for her, it also makes her belligerent and complicit.
