Cloudplume Dragons are as warm and friendly as they look. Living in groups of ten to twenty, these dragons make their home in snowy mountains, where their white feathers fit right in with the environment. During their waking hours, they spread out to fly all over the mountains and nearby plains and forests, collecting mana, exploring, and greeting whoever they happen to meet. When they need to rest, they return to the snowy slopes and curl up together. While a single Cloudplume can blast an air breath at attackers to make their escape, a group of Cloudplumes will stick close, feathers puffed up and the large feathers on their backs raised high and quivering, becoming one giant, bristling mass to intimidate the attacker away from their home. Smaller creatures—and some not so small—often get in between the resting dragons for warmth and protection, and the Cloudplumes welcome such guests. During summertime, these dragons fly higher up to the mountaintops where the air stays cool, mingling with the clouds.

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.

While her sister, Plume, can be rather mischievous, Stratos is her parent's perfect, little angel. She moves with incredibly grace, not even making a sound with her steps. She takes great care to keep her soft feathers groomed to perfection. She carries herself like a true regal which is appropriate given her family's status. Though she appears snobbish, Stratos is actually very accepting and kind to all draconic creatures, including drakes and pygmies. She's always polite when speaking to others, knowing just how to make them feel at ease. When it comes to her sister, however, it's a bit of a different story. The two have a bit of a sibling rivalry. Though not violent or volatile (especially when compared to the fights other varieties of dragons can get into), these two make it a habit to try one-upping each other at everything they do. They always do this kind of thing when no one is looking either, so you wouldn't even guess they had such a rivalry just looking at them.
