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.

A dragon of peace and gentleness, TheWayThingsWere is the thirteenth dragon in the Trial By Music clan.

Her song is one that is completely the opposite of her personality. It's about a rather spitfire elderly individual's interview during an investigation of the crime scene. Needless to say, it takes a turn for the comical as two different generations collide, with it being riddled with tangents of days gone by and a crush the elderly had. Her song requires four singers in order for it to be heard.

Whenever she isn't on-stage, Way is often seen helping in setting this up—whether it be for Overture's meeting or for the stage itself -, surveying the stage for damage with the stagehands and some of her fellow clan members, or taking a nap with some of Andy's adopted hatchlings.
