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.

Aramina was brought to join the Storm Crow Clan whilst still an egg, she has no memory of her mother or father but sometimes as she glides above the tree tops she wonders who they were and how her life would have been different had she not been stolen. Most of the time, however, she enjoys her life. She likes collecting bright and shiny things and hiding them at the top of tall trees. Occasionally Jackdaws and Magpies will steal her treasures, and although she finds this quite annoying it is always an excuse for her to go out and find more. She likes listening to stories of heroic dragons of the past and dreaming of her own adventures.
