Astralophyne Dragons are talented magic users in many aspects, their most prominent area of expertise being that of supportive magic. In addition to normal healing powers, these dragons can tap into the energies of the soular plane using a circular glyph for especially powerful healing and strengthening magics. When the glyph is summoned, their tail tips and wings flair out, and their fur billows and bristles from the ambient energy as if a gust is blowing around them. This exceptional power takes much time and effort to learn, training beginning from a young age and mastery considered to be a mark of true adulthood. They are scholars at heart, ever eager in the study of the arcane and medicinal. In part due to this, Astralophynes can be found in varying professions; some settle down to raise medicinal herbs and insects, some teach their knowledge, and some travel around in further study of magic, occasionally healing those they come across. Some especially brave have been known to join other valiant dragons, supporting them in battles against great threats.

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.

Sending You a Little Christmas is one of the sitters for hatchlings who can't control their magic but are too young to begin lessons. She's gentle and patient around kids and adults alike, though she doesn't know how to shift her vocabulary into simpler words and sentence structures around the young ones, so she's not the best communicator. She has the same hours as Dab Hand, this brown dragon who breaks magic (not on purpose) and is really fierce, but fierce in an admirable way. He's not very nice sometimes, but he's the "last line of defense" when it comes to unruly youngsters and destructive magic. His telling the really impudent ones, "Waste food and I'll WASTE YOU!" was a highly effective tactic to finally getting them to stop wasting food. Sending You a Little Christmas thinks she's too nice and soft with the kiddies sometimes is working on incorporating some of her gruff colleague's mannerisms into her babysitting strategies.
