Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Lunavie was born in a daydream her parents had, but materialised as an egg in the real world due to the intensity of her mother's love. However, her egg did not find it's way into her true mother's claws.

Instead, it appeared and hatched alone on a moonlit shoreline, where she was discovered by a passing Nhiostrife Wyvern who lived in a giant clan. The dragon in question snatched her from the sandy beach of her birth, without even landing and ferried her to the clan to be raised safely. There she was adopted by Calebas, a Dark Myst Pygmy who didn't exactly instil in her the importance of perfection. Instead, Calebas did her best to keep her adopted daughter fed and happy. This led to Lunavie being seen as an outcast to most other Lumina dragons due to her scales being scratch ridden. The only exception is a dark Lumina male that she has caught the attention of... In her words, "He seems quite nice." Her mother approves.
