Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Takarinn, or simply Taka as the other dragons call her, is the first of the two fiery eggs taken in by Candy and the stepsister of her fellow fiery dragon of almost the same age, Flaming Grace. Her bright blue flame constantly earns laments from Grace about how it is differently coloured to hers. Even though she has quite a mellow temper most of the time, a few particular insults make her flare up very quickly, and make her very dangerous.
