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.

Deep vanity coupled with a terrible sense of self-worth make Laudine a horribly conflicted dragon. She loves her reflection, yet at the same time, feels as if she's the only one who appreciates her beauty, leading her to hate her appearance despite the fact that she will spend hours staring at herself. She has done everything possible to make herself look more attractive -- wearing jewelry, dyeing her feathers, even paying a Magi to temporarily change her into a Silver (she only glowed silver for a few weeks) -- but no one seemed to notice. Giving up, she branded herself a hideous troll and retreated to a pond in the middle of the forest. Several dragons have gone in search of Laudine and found her sobbing quietly at her reflection, wondering why her vision of beauty was so different from everyone else's. They have left her there, though they periodically bring her meat and other necessities. With her beauty, there is no shortage of volunteers. They're all just too stunned to speak.
