Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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.

Shonest has this habit of always being honest. The other dragons ask him for advice because they know he will always say what is on his mind. But dragons try to word their words carefully around him because he will answer it honestly and not lie even if it hurts someone's feelings. Because he is honest most of the dragons think highly of him for it. He is also very sweet once they get to know him. But one time Whitescarlet asked him if he thought she was pretty he answered it honestly and said "no". After that day she ran away and he has been searching for her ever since to finish what he was trying to say.
