Sunrise Dragons are closely related to sunset dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunrise Dragons prefer to live in large groups and enjoy basking in the early morning sun. They are usually most active in the morning, and go to sleep in the early evening.

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.

Ever since she washed up on the beach, half-starved and badly wounded Kairi was always grateful to be alive, and also grateful to the one who saved her. Sora Thuwed found her on the beach and brought her back to his clan in the cove where she was cared for until she recovered. She was thrilled when Sora asked her to stay, since they had become friends while her injuries healed. He made her laugh and she told him great stories. Stories of the universe and the many worlds that may be out there. Kairi liked the fact that Sora seemed so focused on these stories and often vowed that he would one day visit them all. This made Kairi giggle every time. Kairi often patrols the coastline, sticking close to Sora when they are on patrol, that way neither one of them can be ambushed by Caleem, who has often warned her to stay away from a 'Pure-bred Thuwed' whatever that meant. Sora just tells Kairi to ignore her, because he'd always be there to protect her.
