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.

Bridgette Calony is an upbeat, happy dragon. She fears the emo dragons that are crawling around her, like Ebon Bass, Shade Ark, and Onyx Babe, but is slowly overcoming her fear by avoiding them entirely. Bridgette likes to float above everyone else, as though she's better than them. She doesn't realize that this makes the others resent her. Admittedly, she is not the smartest of all the dragons. She adores her daughter, Kimi Calony, with all of her heart. The father is Ebon Bass, though she doesn't love him. Bridegtte really loves James Hedgrou, but she pitied Ebon's situation, so she laid him an egg. However, the egg looked like her, so she got to keep the baby, who's been frozen.
