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.

Orcva is not like the other Christmas dragons in the clan.

Of the holiday her species represents, she is not a fan.

Not known for manners or hygiene,

Her cave is scarcely ever clean.

Shes cruel; shes cold; shes nasty and angry.

For near anyone's approval, she is never hungry.

Her sense of humor is definitely lacking.

She spends day after day procrastinating and slacking.

To say even the word Christmas around her provokes violent reactions.

Some say she's was scorned by one whom she felt attraction.

Others believe a cherished friend of hers passed Christmas day.

Whatever the reason, one can most definitely say

Her heart is at least three sizes too small.

She's always known to hold her head tall.

Pretending she's above all of the things.

Yet the biggest weakness within her heart is when Shiv sings.

For only Shivana does Orcva's resolve

Threaten to disappear, to dissolve.

Orcva's stone-cold heart warms and grows

When among her friend, despite the falling snows.
