Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

She is often found making chirping sounds at random objects, and flying with friends.

Alongside their owner's first Magi dragon, Nehemiah, she is the second smartest dragon in the cave—which is a good thing, since Nehemiah is a boy, and Joy is a girl. All of the girls come to Joy for advice, and the boys go to Nehemiah. Nehemiah is mysterious, and Joy is peaceful and relaxed at all times. In a word, they're total opposites.

Joy wishes she could have a mate of her own kind, but her species is female-only, which is quite a depressing fact to all of the species. Still, she is a very happy dragon, loves flying and, of course, helping others. One will find her usually sleeping.
