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.

Slyvia, like her distant relative, Gordion, is of the legendary Thuwed descent. She is a bit sheltered. She fails to realize how society values her over others. Slyvia is also very stressed around Ordacleaphobia, the resident bronze tinsel, as Ordacleaphobia is very insecure and constantly treats Slyvia badly.
