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.

Though young, Elegantpeak is a very outspoken activist and advocate for any and all dragons in her cave who are considered 'different'. A lot of this comes from her own personal experience, as in her cave's vast flock of Ridgewings the purple variety greatly outnumbers the lighter-scaled Ridgewings. Even though no one was ever unkind to her, she often felt out of place and struggled with accepting herself, until the day when she finally realized that everyone isn't the same and that that's not a bad thing. She keeps her personal cave a warm, inviting space, and is always willing to lend a listening ear to anyone who needs to talk.
