- the most loved of all dragons? No! For centuries my family has refused to acknowledge my magnificence as well as my innate humility. Yet for them & because I am so chivalrous I will brave the worst this land has to offer. So here I stand waiting to broker an alliance with the one the Northlanders call The Beast. A being so fearful the greatest warriors will only whisper its name. Yet I Gwenvael will courageously face down this terrifying...woman? It turns out the Beast a.k.a. Dagmar Reinholdt is a woman
