Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

This balloon dragon is often mocked for her weight, even though it's well-understood that she's fairly slender when on the ground. She's actually quite acrobatic too, able to do flips in the air and land safely on her feet without getting dizzy. It's hard to tell if she minds the name-calling because she never talks and just goes about her business, lugging her cubical best friend around given the opportunity. Aside from her tenacity, silence, and inanimate friend, not much else is known -- where she came from, if she has any living relatives, her life goals.
