Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Khione Snow-Shine is a sensitive and kind female dragon. She tends to help take care of her fellow residents of the Cave. Being a bit shy is also in her nature, as well as being cautious and somewhat wary. She radiates a soothing coolness, and others tend to stay near her during the summer's peak in temperature. She enjoys the cooler seasons, especially when the snow begins to fall. During this time she is less shy and more playful than usual. She is nicknamed the Shining Wind.
