Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Secretive's origins were perhaps not so venerable as a dragon of her rarity and beauty would merit. That Christmas, a distant cave was blocked off by a veritable wall of eggs that came from seemingly nowhere, all bright red-striped yellow and radiating an aura of innocent cheer. The dragons of that flock begged for help; having both space in the nursery and holiday goodwill, the clan came to take a few off their hands.

From one of those eggs hatched Secretive, a dragon the likes of which they'd never seen before; graceful and long-horned with banded, feathered wings. There was some debate on what to call this new breed, though consensus eventually settled upon 'Snow Angel'. While Secretive is now well-loved as one of the organizers of the winter holiday and the cheer she inspires, her ignominious origins are still a sore spot; it's best not to mention any trapped dragons or stifling piles of unwanted eggs to her.
