Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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.

When Lu-Yin first hatched from her egg, she saw the majestic black alt, and she swore that when she grew up, all her children would be alts. If her children are not alts, she will disown them. Lu-Yin is a very independent dragon, and she enjoys watching hatchlings play. Her mate, Ryuusuke, does all the hunting for her. Despite the hostile nature of Ryuusuke, Lu-Yin is a very caring mother but only to alts. Lu-Yin manages to keep a stable relationship with Ryuusuke, even though both dragons are very different.
