Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

IAMBADANDGENDEREDWRONG, nicknamed Eyam for the sake of brevity, was supposed to be a female Lumina dragon, and was treated as such for her entire childhood. Despite turning out to be a male dragon, she still thinks of and refers to herself as female because of this.

The rest of the flock accepts this with some amusement. It does confuse newcomers though. Luckily Eyam doesn't get offended when someone uses male pronouns with her, mostly because she often doesn't even realise they're being used for her.
