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.

She often dreams of twin suns, shot like a burst of ivory through a sky of copper and leaves inlaid with silver: a world duplicated nine times over, set over the very heart of the universe. She has always thought of herself as something Other, a fact reinforced by the few other members of her species and has never truly belonged, even when she mixes amongst the other dragons. She is content to keep to herself most of the time and her associate Darketernity is accustomed to this habit. Her behavioural quirks include her unexplained fear of skulls, Black Marrows and the number 11.

It is not unusual for her to make apocryphal remarks which her associate rarely understands and to refuse to elaborate further upon the subject when asked.
