Frostbite Dragons first appear at the beginning of winter, creeping in with the frosts. They have found their place in human lore as the spirits of snow, since they only reveal themselves during icy weather. In the depths of winter, they cover the world in blankets of snow and are believed to be responsible for the glittering frost that creeps over everything. Although they appear cold and distant, they are actually rather mischievous and enjoy spending time dancing through blizzards.

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.

Nixauda is quiet, but in no way does this make her any less dangerous. She has the eyes of a falcon, observing and remembering all. She is very wise, sometimes giving advice to others. However, she mostly uses her wits to play elaborate pranks on any who trek into the snow-capped mountains where she resides. Additionally, Nixauda would never harm anyone in a prank, as it is all just for fun.

She is the mate of Fulgerius, and the two often meet on the border between the warmer climate and the colder mountain-tops.
