Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Fiera readily admits that she learned everything she knows about flying from Mace, and she envies him his incredible skill, hoping one day to match it. She also laughingly admits that his expertise has made her particularly selective when it comes to the idea of choosing a mate. He's more mentor and friend, not in the running, but he seems to approve of her pickiness. In the mean time, she feels that she has much to do and learn and is quite content to spend a lot of time basking and talking about life with her best friend Zyphex.
