Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Zell is much like her element: wild and free. She is extremely friendly and good-natured, unlike her mate Seifer, and loves to help others. She will not hesitate to turn violent if necessary, however, and is extremely dangerous when her temper truly runs out. Most of the time, she reacts to taunts and barbs by exploding into loud, fiery fits of ultimately superficial anger that most people think are real. In actuality, her true temper has a very long fuse. It takes a lot to get her truly angry, but when she is, you can tell by the way her anger turns cold, her body going still as a statue before striking like her element: hard, fast, and deadly. Thankfully, her true temper is also short and, once appeased, she goes right back to her cheery, bubbly, clumsy, big-mouthed self.

Zell is extremely stubborn, much like her mate; it takes a long time for her to actually make up her mind, but once she has, nothing can change it. This tends to cause conflict between her and Seifer.
