Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Kiftsgate is a little rosebud who does as a Rosebud does; she flies around, gently "hovering" from field to field, searching for all sorts of flowers. During the cold winter months, she used to hide away in abandoned ruins of humans, fighting against the cold and wrapping herself in her ribbons and wings to keep warm. But a rather intelligent friend of hers got an idea, and built a large space with great glass windows, heating the space and bringing in much light; Kiftsgate saw this and was further inspired, and decided to bring summer flowers into this space, where they hatched from their seeds and grew as strong as if it was the warmest and brightest of summer months, and since then retires to this "flowerhouse" during the long winter months.
