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.

The first out of 4 eggs Taleena stole when she first came to the Dragon Cave. Taleena was disappointed with her dull appearance as the first dragon to hatch, but never the less fell in love with her personality.

Mizu Odayakana was named after her species' ability relating to water while her surname is so named for her very calming and gentle personality. When Taleena can't think with a straight head it is mostly Mizu who reminds Taleena to keep a level headed mind in the midst of her problems. Mizu refers to many wise, and water based sayings her favorites being "Its okay to rough it out on lilypads when things become too serious," and "Cool yourself... Think of the situation like the water treats a ripple: Something disturbs it at first, but then it quickly lets it go."
