Ultraviolet Dragons are a heat-loving breed that are most commonly found in hot, arid environments. These hardy dragons are omnivorous and will eat both plant and animal matter, even species with thorny physical defenses such as cacti. They are generally peaceful and often quite friendly, but males will become aggressive and cantankerous during the breeding season. Intense fights take place over females, sometimes resulting in injury for both combatants.

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.

Zanda is as kind and sensitive as Ultras go, if a little bit strange with many quirks and all. Although she is sensitive, she is not the usual quiet, totally shy type. She is quick to announce her feelings if the situation calls for it and meets new things with a large amount of enthusiasm and curiosity. She travels with her friend Astrolight in their aimless "let's just explore the world" fashion. She also likes to tinker with scraps of metal and things and keeps many smaller animals she finds as pets as well. Because of this, Zanda avoids eating meat. Most pets are temporary and are let go after a while, but there are a couple that stick around because they seem to enjoy being around her.
