Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Malowine Courter, being a Canopy dragon, can precisely control her movements, making her unable to be clumsy. Malowine can slip through a network of lasers, keep perfect balance, or juggle effortlessly without ever wobbling. She can only fall over when pushed, though most times she can land on her feet. She can stand up right on even the most unstable of surfaces, such as a moving vehicle, a collapsing building, or an earthquake. Malowine is a tour guide together with her best friend Tamara tala in her clan. Tamara makes sure that visitors are safe and healthy during their travels while Malowine makes sure that they have a great time. Malowine provides assistance, information and cultural, historical and contemporary heritage interpretation to people and dragons on organized tours and individual clients at historical sites, and at venues of other significant interest in the clan's jungles. Malowine is a graceful dancer and performs often. She can be too energetic for some.
