Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Unlike most ridgewings, Zahada is quite shy around other dragons and prefers to spend her time gliding over river valleys and munching on the many colorful flowers near her home. Though, this doesn't apply to Zahada's adopted family, of which she is the oldest.

On occasional meet-ups with the three others in her family, Zahada likes to spend time with Ptero, her mate, most often. She loves how he can do amazing aerial stunts.

Zahada's adopted family is very unique. It consists of a neotropical dragon (Coconut), a bleeding moon dragon (Talon), a swallowtail dragon (Ptero), and herself. Unusually, all four were found abandoned as eggs in one small pile together. They were all raised alongside each other and currently live in their respective habitats, although they do meet up every once in a while.
