When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

Sheri is one of the many dragons rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. Her egg was found along the coast and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once she matured, she found her lifemate, a Magi dragon, among the other AnselaJonla dragons. In the tradition of the AnselaJonla flock, both dragons took the same name, Anfaw, to pass down to any of their offspring that remained within the flock.

Sheri uses the waterways of the continents to get around. As long as it's big enough for her body, she will travel up it. She especially likes the "canals" that the humans have built, even more so when they include a way for water-dwelling dragons to open the "locks".

She's loved by humans in the drier forested areas, as she abhors seeing fire sweeping through the trees and will use her tail to splash water on them to extinguish the fires.
