Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Deduction of Scientific Awe is nothing like his parents. He isn't logical like his father, nor is he overly curious like his mother.

Deduction is shy, bowing his head and keeping his gaze on the floor when another dragon talks to him. Both of his parents were away for most of the time that he was a hatchling, so he was raised among a large group of other young dragons. His timid personality was preyed upon by bullies, but the Wyvern didn't live under insults for very long. It turned out that Deduction was nasty when someone pushed him over the edge. A few of the adults became wary of him after the young dragon attacked and practically mauled three dragons who were much larger than himself. Deduction remembered the incidents, but didn't understand why he was feared when he was only protecting himself.

One of his few friends that stuck with him through those dark times is a Nocturne named Escape of Stone. She eventually became the Wyvern's mate and she acts as a support pillar for him.
