Risensong Dragons wake with the rising of the sun. They can be found hunting during the day, only to vanish into their lairs once the sun begins to set. Their glossy feathers and scales are a deep pink, but the morning sunlight reflects off of their bodies in a beautiful light gold shimmer. Risensongs are social dragons, found in small to medium-sized groups, and are relatively approachable dragons that make little effort to secure the bounds of their territory. These dragons have a respectable ability to weave magic, but only once the sun has started to rise: the darkness weakens their magical powers, and their spells are most potent during the day.

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.

Sonnet was born of the partnership between the Horizonkiss sisters and Staccato Solarmelody. The sisters were born poor, with nothing to their name, so they attracted the famous and wealthy Staccato to take them in. Unfortunately, while Staccato has blessed them with a nice home, the family is less than happy. Staccato has little to no interest in the sisters, only showing them off for their beauty. He has even less interest in his children. Sonnet is much less aggressive than his brother, Morning. He is much more soft-spoken, meek, and tepid. He is also significantly more friendly to those that engage him, though pretty awkward and shy. While his brother excels at singing, like their father, Sonnet is a particularly talented magic user. He practices quietly, usually out of sight, and enjoys weaving mana in the morning light. He prefers to keep these talents quiet, perhaps because he does not care to draw so much attention. He may even fear becoming anything like his jaded father.
