This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

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.

Joyful Sorrow was minding his own business when he was snatched out of the cave one day. Being a canopy egg he expected a normal life. Little did he know he was his owners first try at a neglected dragon. When he turned successfully she was overjoyed. Though he will never be like the other dragons, he is given a nice place on his owners scroll and treated with love and care by both his owner and most of the dragons raised by Evangeline.
