Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Cvunhu lives in a city of dracons, and runs a beauty salon. She sells many types of scale polishes, and feather-shampoos and conditioners for furs of all types. She also will sell services to go over customers' hides to polish and clean them with a precision not found in other breeds.

She desperately hopes to one day catch the eye of Gerandal, and though she is head-over-heels for him, he is too in love with himself to see how desperate she is. It is not uncommon to see her outside his weyr late at night, serenading him with expertly performed songs.
