Gemshard Dragons are small, gregarious, expressive easterns, living in large clans high in the jungle canopy. Their bodies are covered in tiny, gem-like scales that shimmer in direct light, and each dragon has a unique pattern of markings on the forked spade of its tail. Though Gemshard Easterns cannot fly, they often leap from springy branches high into the sky on sunny days and perform acrobatic spins and twirls to entertain themselves. When the weather turns foul, they pile up together on sturdy tree limbs and interlock the forks of their tails with others to keep warm and dry.

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.

Blur was named for skillful speed, which she inherited from her mother, Quickbeast. She often accompanies her brother Kriato on scouting missions and has a habit of noticing things that he doesn't.

She is probably the most inclusive member of her family- or maybe even the whole clan- and she frequently makes determined efforts to routinely visit family members that don't live with her Gemshard troop in the jungle. She enjoys learning about foreign cultures, and her familiarity with the ways different species act is part of what makes her a great diplomat.
