Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Contrary to most of her breed, Ginko Shine isn't afraid to get dirty as long as she's able to take a bath afterward. She does a lot of the tidying up in the home cave, and does help watch the hatchlings on occasion. She isn't too particular about her appearance as long as she is clean, but she won't worry about a misshapen scale or long claw like others of her kind. She tends to stay close to home and not stray too far out of her comfort zone.
