Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Elixia was found to be an abandoned egg. Being beautifully colored and the first Cave-born egg Mysticangel found, she took interest and decided to take the egg under her guidance. After she hatched, she was given the name Elixia, coming from the word Elixir and to give meaning synonymous to the Elixir of Life (being a female cave-born expected to give life to other dragons). Windseeker (wind-seeker) is given as her surname because balloon dragons float around to gather food.

In time, she grew up to be a bubbly Balloon Dragon that enjoys spending time outdoors with other dragons in Mysticangel's care.
