Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

Jungfrau couldn't be named more ironically, named after a foreign word for virgin, there are few females in the clan with a more varied mating history and Jungfrau isn't the slightest bit ashamed of it.

While many dragonesses would have to deal with rejection by other females for their promiscuity, Jungfrau is so open and friendly about every bit of her personal life that none of the others find themselves able to hold it against her.
