Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Lady of Arctic Frost was loosely named after her grandmother. The apple of Mikage Ichiro's eye, Lady of Arctic Frost is a gorgeous winter beauty; and she knows it. She caught the eye of Ichiro the instant she sprouted wings. Though she knows she is very beautiful and equally fortunate for finding a loyal mate so early in life, she is not at all conceited. In fact, quite the opposite. Their first child was lost to them, but their love for each other will certainly bring more in their future together.
