Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Back in the old days when winters were long and harsh, with short days of insufficient sun and not enough warmth to melt nitrogen, Christmas dragons were rare and could mostly be seen alone or maybe in pairs. But then in the legendary Solstice miracle of the year of the witch's dozen, all the Christmas dragons decided to leave their solitary ways behind to finally join their brethren in earnest.

Faithful was one of the driving forces behind the change in Christmas dragon politics. Although tradition dictated that they kept to themselves and avoided to be caught among their brethren in great numbers, Faithful always believed that all the dragons (including the Solstice breeds) could benefit from greater interaction. So when the change finally came, Faithful couldn't wait to join a clan year round and spend time not only with other Ribbon Dancers and Winter Magis but Crimsons and Magis as well.
