Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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.

Kouryn is a very kind dragon, and obviously, because of her species of dragon, she is very, very protective of those that she knows. She can be shy to any male dragon that wishes to court her, but when it comes down to a fight, she will protect those she loves and cares for. She can be very stubborn, as is the nature of a dragon, but it's adorable when she uses her shield to hide her face in embarrassment. It's funny that if you look close enough, her face-scales turn pink. A dragon, blushing. Adorable, and yet somehow...beautiful too. She would never hurt a fly unless it was completely necessary, and rather dislikes even trying to breathe fire. Not that it hurts her, but she knows fire is rather destructive and would prefer not to use it if she could protect those she wishes to protect with her tail.
