When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

Water Sorrow survived the starvation that unfortunately took away her older siblings. Her human was away at the time when she hatched. She started to wander around the cave to take in everything she saw, heard, and smelled. Then she fell asleep, only to find four fresh new eggs all around her in the next morning. She took a sniff at each egg. Each egg smelled the same as the cave that she was born and raised in. Then she made her decision: "I'm gonna raise these eggs like a mother!" And that's how Water Sorrow became the mother for all her human's stolen eggs. Although she had the pride of a mother, she still holds the sadness of being alone. So during those moments she would go to the lake and swim until she became happy again.
