Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Charling is studious, diligent, sharp as a hooktalon's claw, and a master of lightning. Her abode is an old but well-maintained cave in Mountain View, and though she has a lot of connections, living alone suits her just fine. She spends social functions interacting with others a bit while also carefully observing everyone's behavior, as a way to understand how to act herself. Charling's small group of close friends find time to meet up occasionally despite everyone living in different places. Those friends and her immediate family are the only ones who have heard her "purr", and to this day, none can figure out how she does it. One of her friends can be a right dumbass sometimes, and when they hang out, Charling is usually the one gently reining her back.
