Copper Dragons are masters of stealth, slipping silently and swiftly through the forests and jungles where they live. Often hunting in groups, their prey rarely know they are being stalked until the dragon’s at their throat. In the air they are agile and skilled. Copper Dragons prize family groups, spending large amounts of time teaching their young skills. So great is their love of life and family that they will sometimes adopt orphaned dragons of other breeds to raise.

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.

A proud and friendly dragon, Dawn of a New Trial is the thirtieth member of the Trial By Music Clan. She's also the last one in the clan's roster.

Her song is kind of a bittersweet one, as the protagonist and his assistant say their farewells. It also consists chiefly of reprisals of other songs in the musical, save for the first two verses of the song. The songs that get reprised are Justice's, Right's, Decree's, There's, and Objection's. At the end of the song, the protagonist and assistant break the fourth wall briefly by pointing to the audience and giving one last shout of "Objection" in the true Trial By Fire Clan style. This song is the one that ends the musical and requires two singers.

Off-stage, Dawn can often be seen aiding in Overture's discussions, helping stagehands with their work, talking with those who were in the audience, or relaxing with her fellow clan members and the cast and crew of the production.
