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.

Rodney Rolls has a talent for flying and is known in the clan for his great gliding. He also teaches other dragons how to perform the perfect courting dance or how to find a perfect partner. Because he is popular during mating seasons, a lot of dragons come to him for love advice. His popularity with females stems of his great dexterity, agility, and courting dances that enchant almost every female. Rodney may however feel quite lonely even when surrounded by others. This feeling of loneliness may be exacerbated by the tendency to not reveal his true self. Rodney tends to be more reserved about exposing himself than other extroverted types. Although he may have strongly-felt beliefs, he's likely to refrain from expressing them if doing so would interfere with bringing out the best in others. Because his strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people, he is likely to interact with others on his own level, in a chameleon-like manner, rather than as individual.
