Ice Dragons are fierce predators who hunt using their extremely cold breath. The breath of an ice dragon can freeze its prey solid in seconds. The body of an ice dragon is so cold that icicles will form along its skin no matter the outside temperature.

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.

Though cold to the touch, Alekksa is kind and loving. She is extremely close to her mate, Tankk, and is proud to say that she is an Ice Dragon. She has no problems deciding if she does or doesn't like somebody; she gets along well with Stokk, but she despises Mashkka for leaving Sunkk, who is a good friend of hers. But her best friend is definitely Tankk.
