Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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.

Duana is a peaceful female who is not shy but often more of a listener than a social butterfly. She lives on her own in a den surrounded by trees, and tries her best to live a life of peaceful solitude. She declares herself a pacifist, yet others often see her training vehemently in a clearing near her home. When questioned about why she would be practicing combat and offensive magic when she doesn't like fighting, she will gladly express her concerns for her safety when living alone in the woods. Bears, wolves, humans, and rogue male dragons all pose a threat and she only wishes to be prepared. What Duana won't say, however, is that she doesn't think she could bring herself to kill anything or anyone. The training is for her own peace of mind, and to hopefully scare any potential threats into leaving her be.
