Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Faithless is a pessimistic dragon. She often feels like the only seeing organism in a hot rainforest of blind ones. She sees through lies and brainwashing tales and notices things that most other dragons don't. Faithless doesn't even fall for the trickery of a Bright-Breasted wyvern named Candu, although she is too scared to point it out. Her mate's name is Uhva, and he is one dragon who understands her. His cheerful personality enlightens her normally depressed mood. Faithless knows that mates aren't necessary, not even mandatory by social standards, and that she is probably setting a bad example. Still, she is grateful to have found Uhva. Even more than her gratitude of having a mate, she is pleased to actually get along with him. Many couples Faithless has encountered in her life are together only because being mateless makes those weak souls feel left out. Those couples rarely even tolerate each other's personalities!
