Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Adaila is a thrill-seeking athlete who spends her days racing dangerous winds, from the swiftest currents in the rocky valleys to the tumultuous gales found in violent thunderheads. She is one of the fastest dragons in her Clan, and is often sent to seek down long-distance scouting missions.

She has a habit of ending up with bad crowds despite her own kind nature, and tends to spend her time racing with other thrill-seekers, many of which are far more puckish than herself. She has a habit of seeing the best in everyone, including the gangs of sly rascals that she associates with.
