Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Damask almost never goes anywhere without Tea, although the two aren't related by blood. They were raised together in the mixed adoptive cave with Raspberry and Wishheart, and although they check in from time to time with the other two, they don't feel they have terribly much in common. Damask is the more talkative of the two, chattering away as they visit the flowered meadows of their choice about everything from the poor eggs with softshell to how loudly Grenar can snore. It never occurs to her that her constant chatter could be annoying. Fortunately it isn't to Tea; however, the other dragons are glad they spend so much time outside away from the cave.
