Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Pacifica is far friendlier that her mate Atlan. She generally has a warmer and milder personality, and she tries to avoid arguments and fights whenever possible. Personally Pacifica thinks that the whole clan-crossed lovers idea is a terribly romantic (if maybe a bit silly) idea. She might make Himar's journey to Derk a bit more difficult (to make the achievement of reaching her love all the sweeter) but would never really try stop the Royal Crimson dragoness for good.
