Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

When he was an adolescent, Keyo struggled to stand on the water like the other dragons of his breed. He was heavily mocked for it. While this may have taken an emotional toll on a less optimistic dragon, Keyo kept on going. His love for his childhood friend, Sia Maisong, was (and still is) much stronger than the hate of nastier dragons. Everyday, she would sing for him, as he would practice standing on water.

Years later, Sia promised him that she would become his mate for life if he could run across the great lake beside where they grew up together.

Now, several children later, the outcome of that endeavor was obviously positive.

In his spare time, Keyo paints gorgeous landscapes, as wells as hundreds of murals of his beloved muse Sia.

He loves fresh strawberry jam, but does not like croissants.
