Daydream Dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near Daydream Dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

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.

Ah, so innocent, so naive, so young. This is how most dragons describe Shirley Bureaugard, and it is true, indeed. For Shirley is one of the most carefree, happy dragons around, and when it comes to friends, or even mates, she's okay with almost everyone. She's quick to make friends, quick to fall in love, and quick to believe what everyone says. She rarely gets angry, and when she does, she forgets about it almost instantly, she always tries to cheer everyone up, and some even say she's a bit hyperactive. Some of the older females smile at her name and think of Shirley as an innocent and well-meaning but naive little girl. Unfortunately, due to Shirley's light, easy-to-please attitude and her natural beauty, she has attracted many mates that ended up breaking her heart. Personally, she can't understand why they would do that, but the truth is, some do it as a cruel joke. Still, it doesn't affect her long—she always forgets about it and continues on with her happy life!
