Females can be fierce, sarcastic, bubbly or cruel males can be warm, loyal, bookish, or shy. There’s good gender balance amongst characters, and though each dragon has their own unique personality, their traits don’t follow gender stereotypes. Good characters often have bad ideas and beliefs that they hold onto for a long time (more so in future books). Characters like Peril can be morally ambiguous and struggle across multiple story arcs. Though there is good and evil, characters don’t have simple black-or-white morality.
