Wintertide Dragons are a shy species that tend to be docile in nature. The leaf-like growths on their heads are rumored to have medicinal properties, though few have ever gotten close enough to test that theory. They maintain small groups in the mountains where they live, and rarely leave their homes in the peaks, aside from a short winter migration. The rhythmic chime of their feathers and their melodic wails are often considered to be the ballad of winter.

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.

The wisest Jingle Lad and another incredible singer, Son is one of the older dragons in the group, matching their previous leader, Aeg. Of the members, he's one of the couple who's very against their actions, but his tepid nature keeps him from really doing anything about it. The Jingle Lads' duty is to travel their home valley every winter solstice to collect naughty dragons and sacrifice them to the monster that threatens to demolish their village if he isn't satisfied. Son provides emotional support for those suffering in the group, and most of them definitely are. His best friend, Lit, especially suffers from extreme anxiety and so is constantly trying to distract herself from having a panic attack by singing. Son offers protection and comfort to his friends and anyone else who really needs it. His soft feathers and gentle voice really have helped many, not just in the group. He knows it doesn't account for much, seeing how he's done so much wrong, but it's all he knows how to do.
