Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Piyriel is, like most Luminia Dragons, extremely vain, especially when it comes to her wings as they are considered to be one of her best features. She has lost count of how many times she has picked off a scale, but she does know that it is a lot less than some of the vainer Luminia Dragons. Piyriel is a bit of a hoarder, and will steal anything that catches her interest, for example a bag of gold coins, from other Dragons and even some of the villages near her home. As such, she is a very fast and skilled flyer, able to fly under the canopy of the trees without crashing into one of the trunks. Piyriel can be very anti-social at times, letting others know that she does not want to be disturbed by sitting in a patch of sunlight so that the reflections from her scales are blinding.
