Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Fritz's shy and quiet nature left him relying on his adopted sister, Clara, far too much at such a young age. Barely able to talk to other dragons, Fritz would follow the enigmatic young ribbon dancer around, hiding in her shadow when anyone came near, and stuttering out a few mumbled words for politeness before fleeing their company. It was only when he was alone with Clara when Fritz came alive, his behaviour becoming rash and hasty, but Clara continued to protect him from the judging eyes that surrounded him in when they were in company. Fritz has never wished for more friends, as he finds his social life fulfilled within Clara, yet he fears love as it may tear him away from his beloved sister. Fritz prefers to scare off Clara's suitors, telling them stories of how she isn't interested in marriage, not out of malice or spite, but because he is scared, far too scared, that she will leave him.
