Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.

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.

Since she was an orphan and her foster Father, Zei Haf, could have no children for the while, Badia was declared the first child of the leader of Syh Valley.

You would think she would be a fairy-tale princess, when she has a great sense of imagination and actually dreads staying at the small palace that lays on the cliff towering the valley.

She found herself in love with Mash'al, the suitor for the bride of her father, who to this day pretends to return her feelings. Badia is aware of this, but goes along with it because she cant seem to grow tired of his wonderful wings which she lacks.
