Trivia
The sandy-haired orphan Aurelia notices in passing is Flynn Nightsider.
Aurelia's physical appearance is based on the author's sister, Angel Fan. The nickname "Firedragon" was Angel's nickname at school.
Aurelia's best friend, Connor Salvator, was originally meant to be just a bit character in the Flynn Nightsider series. As the series developed, his role expanded, until he became one of the central figures in the Firedragon novella.
The champion from the Empire of Greater China's name is never mentioned in the novella. It is Cheng Zhou.
Although Aurelia repeatedly calls fellow champion Vilk Chanden "Grandpa", he is in fact only in his mid fifties and has no grandchildren.
