Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Marvin Mountaineer is just a dragon full of color. She never gives up on anything she starts, she doesn't give up trying to cheer people up, and she never, ever gives up on love. She would travel great mountains, low vast, valleys, and long, rushing rivers just to look for the dragons she loves. Marvin, in one word if you will, would probably be described as determined. As for her living quarters, she lives by herself under a small, half-dead tree on a mountain. She found the dying sapling one hot, hot day, and did all she could do care for it. She hopes, maybe one day, that tree will care for her as much as she cared for it.
