Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Morkia was born in a lagoon that connected to the sea. When she was young she wandered off and suddenly found herself in the open ocean. She was terrified, and was finally found by a water dragon, GlaciesUndo, who became part of her extended family. He brought her to AthenaNightshade who immediately asked SomniumTribuo to distract her while CuratioYuki. Then FiliaTerra helped her through her traumatic experience by showing her all the new things found through exploration. Now Morkia loves to be in new places, but is still afraid of wide open spaces, especially when no one is with her. She is unable to travel without a companion and prefers to travel with a large party.
