Shadow Walkers are a strange breed that possess the ability to slip between the planes of reality, becoming immaterial. This allows them to hide in the shadows, either hunting from the concealment of near invisibility or evading enemies. Though they become corporeal to mate or to eat, they spend most of the rest of their lives walking in the shadows. Shadow Walkers are wary creatures, though on dark autumn evenings when the leaves fall to swirl in the chill, rain damp air, they may be seen drifting out from the shadows.

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.

Frascati is a playful Shadow Walker female. Ever since she was a egg, Whitecoal, the frozen hatchling, stayed at her side, curling up with her at night and talking to her at day. The two Shadow Walkers become close and wherever one goes, the other is never far behind. Frascati is curious and she tends to want to explore everything, though she makes sure her big brother is close behind. Frascati loves to eat pumpkins, foods with pumpkin in it, as well as food caught from the sea. She gets along with everyone, but can be easily spooked, but she makes up for it by having the sweetest of tempers.
