Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Songbird is a serene, graceful creature with the voice of a goddess. She has a gaudy way about her, often found sunning herself or chattering about gossip with her friends. She considers herself something of a regal, holding herself like a princess and always acting above others. This toxic attitude does tend to drive others away, but it's hard to tell if she doesn't recognize it at all or just doesn't care. The latter is inclined to be believed because she is rather intelligent. She isn't a genius, obviously, but she does have a solid head on her shoulders. In any case, Songbird is definitely the most infamous of her siblings, surpassing them in gall and outward appearance by a country mile. She's always sure to look her best and stand out. Even when others don't care about her, they have no choice but to look when she arrives. Needless to say, she prides herself immensely on this and always manages to find new ways to spice up her entrances. Her parents are very proud of her.
