Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Butterfly Half lives on a field-sort-of-place with plenty of interesting little landmarks. She was once told by some visitors what the area is called, but she forgot, and she is too embarrassed to ask again. The place doesn't belong to her, but the owners, whoever and wherever they are, don't seem to mind her barging in and settling down. They must know she's there, so maybe they actually like her floral presence. Her lying-down spot is by an oval sandpit. Sometimes, people walk through the area, and they seem a bit upset when they have to enter the sandpit and do something with the sticks they're carrying. Butterfly Half can't see exactly what they're doing from this distance, but she can hear a "thwack", and then they sweep the sand afterward and walk away. She wonders if she should sweep the sand, too.
