Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Love Hotel's clan migrated when she was seven, and the clan was absorbed into a larger one, Sundry, which is now pretty much a town (though it lacks a couple of things required by the Damson Canton to make it legally one). Love Hotel's daily routine involves following a planned route to clean and bring nice smells to her neighborhood. The dragons of Sundry are still learning about her clan's customs. Their given names are one of the most noticeable features, and it's a favorite activity of many of the kiddies of Sundry to hear what these newcomers have to say about their names. Upon emerging from their eggs, babies are named after something that's right there: perhaps a visible landmark, a trait of whoever's watching the egg, or an activity occurring nearby. Love Hotel tells the young ones that her caretakers loved short-term lodging, and they left for an indefinite period when she turned 20 to travel Galsreim and stay in hostels, roadhouses, caravanserais, and other such places.
