Thunder Dragons are the masters of electricity. Their wings gather energy as they soar through the clouds, and when they clap their wings together they can create devastating arcs of lightning. They can stay airborne nearly indefinitely, landing only to sleep and breed; they catch their prey from the air and take moisture from the clouds. A thunder dragon’s roar is considered to be an omen of misfortune.

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.

Gewitterschlange grew up as the beloved daughter of two Thunder dragonesses and two Sunsong fathers. With the weird relationship her four parents have, she was never really sure who her biological father and mother were. Yet she has the best relation to Lumino, who taught her to take life the way it was and never to assume anything. So when Gewitterschlange came of age and discovered her feelings for her brother Sonnensturm she accepted them for what they were, never caring for the possibility of him and her being half- or full biological siblings.
