is still outspoken and fearless when challenged. FIRE DRAGON: The Fire Dragon is the most
extroverted and competitive Dragon. He tends to push too hard and expects a

is more diplomatic than the other Dragons. He is ambitious, but his initiatives

strong-willed Dragon. He is inflexible, unbending, and combative. He gives little

or sly. He refuses to deceive or compromise and fails to spot subversive intent.ÊHe
