D is for DRAGON PRINCESSES.

They're gorgeous. Curvy pin-up girls with big blue eyes and long golden hair, soft and round and smiling like they have a secret. And they do have a secret. They're not human. A symbiotic cryptid race, the dragon princesses were once the caretakers and companions of the great dragons, before the Covenant of St. George wiped them all out. The dragon princesses have endured the loss of their masters, and now live amongst the humans, concealed by their similarities, forever separated by their differences.

If that cute blonde barrista at the Starbucks downtown puts gold dust in her mocha or sets herself on fire during her break, there's a good chance that she's a dragon princess. Be nice to her. She's been through a lot.

would it? according to the fancy grocery store in my town they use real gold on some of the pastries, I can't see why it wouldn't work on coffee too:)

Pure gold is totally edible. So says my mama the professional cake decorator. And gold dust wouldn't likely be any grittier than cinnamon, or at least sprinkles, surely.

I think *I* am part dragon princess. It would certain explain why I ran around after the other kids when I was a child pretending I was a dragon and they were sheep. o.o

I won't be answering any Toby questions as related to the InCryptid universe. They're totally separate worlds, and things that exist in one may not exist in the other. If Toby ever encounters a dragon, you'll find out what they're like.

I think the Dragon Princesses are my favorite so far. This single idea is so intriguing, but the InCryptid books are packed with more! Looking forward to the rest of the alphabet!

Is it kind of like the women in Ladies Don't Do Those Things? Cause that is how I am imagining it.

Not quite, but the song's a good description of the Price girls, in many ways.

O_o I love how you mention that so casually. The more you tell us about the world of InCryptid, the more eager I am to read DA. Any chance of a haggis spotting?

WHOO! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! *does happy dance* I love me those wee timorous beasties--but never for dinner. I made that mistake once. x_x Never. Again.

Do some Dragon Princesses have black hair?
That *would* explain a few things about a friend of mine.
On the other hand, she doesn't drink coffee.

Ok, note to self: Bring gold dust when visiting a downtown Starbucks, just in case.

Got it.
