Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Kailani is the mischief-maker of the family. She and Jetta have declared themselves "twins" due to their shared birthday and despite their different heritages and appearances. Kailani's time is often spent to herself,  she does very little when it comes to caring for the hatchlings, although she loves to play with them. When it comes time for any type of unpleasantness, Kailani is nowhere to be found. This trait often annoys Jetta and Wisteria who are often stuck with whatever tasks Kailani left behind.
