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.

Even from a young age Waiting In The Trees knew she was in love with One Who Made A Choice, but they were brother and sister. This didn't keep their love apart and they met in secret outside the cave. They were quickly found out by their father though and were told a simple command, Stop this affair. Up till then their children never knew who their father was and even their own children turned their backs on them disgraced and dishonoring them as their parents. Only her owner saw how much she loved One Who Made A Choice and made the law where they could love. But it cost them their family and respect of the other dragons.
