Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Storm Lightning was taken into the Nyx'ai'nyx clan at a young age, so she does not remember her family. She has not let this stop her from becoming skilled in her talents to control weather, as there are several other Grays in the clan who have taught her the art of controlling the weather. One of these is Wuruhi Silvermoon, whom she wants to take as her mate, although she does not know if he feels the same for her.
