Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Hyorin paints her claws every few days, using paints made from natural dyes. She enjoys mixing new colors together and adding in special decorative ingredients. Her favorites to use are small metallic flakes, powdered precious stones, and pieces of dried flower petals. Whenever the clan holds large gatherings, Hyorin offers to give the female dragons manicures. Though she willingly shares her nail paints, Hyorin is very secretive about her special color mixing recipes.
