Two-Finned Blunas are a very social breed of dragon, living in packs of dragons called “pods.” Blunas are very curious and playful creatures and several dragons in a pod will often “play” with one other, chasing each other around, tossing seaweed back and forth, and riding ocean swells. They are occasionally seen swimming alongside whales and dolphins.

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.

Shy and quiet, Odette finds it hard to cope with the noise and crowding in the main cave, preferring to live on her own, swimming around the nearby bay with a flock of nearby dolphins, who adopted her as family. The other Blunas cannot understand why she wouldn't want to play with them, being social creatures, and try to pester her into joining their games, which she always declines. Her weak fins are not strong enough for the currents deep out at sea, and the boisterous games scare her, so she stays alone, wishing for company, yet for none at the same time. To stop herself from being lonely, Odette collects coloured glass, curved, straight, patterned shards from who knows what, which have been smoothed by the sea. She gazes at them for hours, putting them over her eyes and watching her mundane cave turn into a palace of rosy pink, a swamp of bottle green, or a chamber of golden treasure.
