Rosebud Dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. A widespread breed, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

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.

Bud is the second C-listed daughter in a large, business-oriented family. The wealthy and shrewd elder adults have plans for every eventuality, so survival is no issue for the clan. She and her siblings oversee small and medium-sized dealings but otherwise have a lot of time to do other things, and everyone has a different job and set of interests. Bud likes to teach; however, she can't stick with one subject for long and isn't sharpest blade on the rack, so her lectures usually leave her audience confused. She is very entertaining, so sometimes, parents hire her to "teach" (babysit) their children while they're gone. Some people do wonder if her ramblings aren't good for the young ones' minds, though.
