Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

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.

Khione of Fallensnow is delusional, mostly thanks to her turbulent past. She was betrayed by many of her family in the name of survival since an early age, and to this day, she does not know how to trust. But when the equally mad Littleleaf of Fallensnow slipped into a trance and spouted alleged messages from the Keepers of the Stars instructing them to run, she clung desperately to his words as if letting go would mean the death of her clan. Though they were the trance-induced words of a mere hatchling, Khione really and truly believes that they must "run" or be exterminated.

She is currently undergoing therapy with Alaafia of Fallensnow.
