Cloudplume Dragons are as warm and friendly as they look. Living in groups of ten to twenty, these dragons make their home in snowy mountains, where their white feathers fit right in with the environment. During their waking hours, they spread out to fly all over the mountains and nearby plains and forests, collecting mana, exploring, and greeting whoever they happen to meet. When they need to rest, they return to the snowy slopes and curl up together. While a single Cloudplume can blast an air breath at attackers to make their escape, a group of Cloudplumes will stick close, feathers puffed up and the large feathers on their backs raised high and quivering, becoming one giant, bristling mass to intimidate the attacker away from their home. Smaller creatures—and some not so small—often get in between the resting dragons for warmth and protection, and the Cloudplumes welcome such guests. During summertime, these dragons fly higher up to the mountaintops where the air stays cool, mingling with the clouds.

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.

Drift is a super kind, super bubbly Cloudplume known to accept all others around her. She is very graceful, walking with poise and primness. She is a great fit for the highly esteemed Xeno family. Of course, power and status were not the reasons she joined. Drift doesn't really care about gaining respect or influence. All she wanted was her adorable mate, Electric the Astrapi. Many question this relationship, since Electric is so aggressive, wild, and unpredictable. But, surprisingly, the two work quite well. Drift is able to comfort and calm Electric whenever he becomes stressed. In turn, Electric will do anything to protect her, sending out huge bursts of electricity to scare off anyone who dares to threaten her. It's also quite hilarious to see Drift's puffy feathers expand three times their normal size from Electric's static electricity. It's always easy to tell when the two of them have been snuggling.
