Sophrosyne Dragons are a rare sight, typically making themselves known only to protect and heal the vulnerable. A visit from one serves as a reminder that kindness prevails, and that there’s always hope for positive change. While it is known that they possess the power to reverse botched spells, some claim they can even cure methodically-cast curses. This has never been formally documented, but these dragons have been seen arriving in the aftermath of violence, and the scars of tragedy seem to heal faster in their wake. The feathers of a Sophrosyne have thus become a symbol of perseverance and light in the face of darkness.

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.

Affectionately called "my secret weapon" by his owner, Choice is known to have an overly strong sense of justice and self-righteousness, even to the point of it being considered "ruthless" or "mindless justice". However overbearing he may be, Choice's intentions are meant to be good, although they occasionally get him into trouble with others.

Normally non-violent, Choice tries to settle things using reason and his version of justice, though arguing against him long enough can lead to explosive temper tantrums from the dragon. The only such instance so far involved him brutally attacking another dragon whom he was arguing against. Luckily, Choice was able to snap back to his senses and sought the immediate medical attention of his father for the wounded dragon. He apologized profusely for the incident afterwards.
