Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Ways knows that the holidays (in one form or another) are celebrated throughout all of Valkemare and as a holiday dragon he sees it as his duty to bring love and cheer to everyone. So naturally he travels a lot. All of the time in fact. His wings often ache after a long day of flying, but Ways never allows himself the luxury of settling down for a few days or resting for longer than absolutely necessary. It's of course different when somebody else needs him, and he will stay as long as necessary to cheer up a sad hatchling, or help out a human incapacitated by an injury or illness. So Ways travels Valkemare and does his best to spread the cheer among human and dragon alike, never once thinking about himself.
