Nhiostrife Wyverns are one of the few known breeds of wyvern with more than one set of wings. Because of their four wings, Nhiostrifes are very nimble in the air and control their movements with ease. When it’s mating season, males put on a very beautiful and unique air dance in an attempt to charm a female. The amount of stripes on their wings vary, with more stripes being more attractive, although most have only two to four. Their general attitude is very passive and curious—they only fight if they or their families are in danger.

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.

Despite his name, Storm does not actually enjoy bad weather, as his fellow Nhiostrife, Cold, does. In fact, this wyvern is horribly afraid of thunder and lightning, and finds rain unpleasant at best. He is often regarded with amusement by the other dragons because of his fear, and some of the more outspoken individuals openly declare him a coward. Because of this he feels a strong need to prove himself in some way, and so he spends most of his day practising aerial acrobatics and flight dances in order to show off his agility—and perhaps also to charm a certain snow-loving female wyvern.
