Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Nine loves to quote completely imaginary statistics at strangers and friends alike. "Nine out of ten White dragons' mates advise to eat at least one apple each day." "Five out of four dragon tamers can't count." "Statistically speaking only one out of three persons read the rules before joining in a tale-telling competition."

The dragons of her clan know to take her data with a grain of salt, but some of the resident humans are clearly impressed with her supreme knowledge and hang on her very lips. Well, at least the apple farmers are happy.
