When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

Saraswati is a water dragon that has an almost fanatical devotion to making sure that dragons continue to exist. Part of this is because she was raised relatively close to a place of worship and was affected by the faith of the worshippers, adopting the personality trait for her own. While she remains passionate about procreating, she is also passionate about justice and keeping her friends safe, even if it means that virile dragons must be put down. Her friends just try to keep her illusions of danger from going out of claw.
