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.

Mimmatera suffered even before her hatching. The cave her egg was found in was wrecked and abandoned, appearing to have been the result of a large battle with neither parent seeming to survive. The hunters grabbed the only egg remaining, quickly transporting it back for their own means. Sadly in their haste, they were ambushed by bandits along the roads back to town. They were run off the road and the egg was lost in the wreckage. It was eventually found and hatched by a family of geese, though they quickly avoided her upon realizing she was a dragon.

Forced to grow on her own, she came upon her reflection in the nearby lake, then other reflections in shattered glass pieces and mirrors. In her dazed state, she began to wonder more and more if this was not actually real, that what she saw in the mirrored images was the actual reality. Though she has survived and learned much, she still touches every reflection, wondering if she is no more than a phantom to those on the "other side".
