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.

Eyaye is the adoptive mother of LOOK MOM I'M DOING A BACKFLIP and his younger brother, MY BACKFLIP IS MORE AWESOMER. Ever since she hatched, she wanted to be a mother, although her personality is far from motherly. When Meerkat, her owner, brought home a pair of purple ridgewing eggs, she pounced at the chance to raise two children. Meerkat reluctantly allowed her to raise the eggs, and since that day, she's watched over the brothers almost obsessively.

She is feared by the other residents of Meerkat's lair for her sharp tongue, possessiveness and cynical attitude. She often scolds her sons for being so carefree and ignorant, frequently telling them to open their eyes to what's going on outside the cave. Despite this, she loves them both as if they were her own, and would give her life for them if necessary.
