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.

Amber's power is not in her body strength, but the intensity and sheer power of the fire she breathes, a trait borrowed from her mother, a Black dragon. Granted, her body is frailer than most dragons but not any more so in relation to her own species. Amber's powers of flight tend to make up for her lack of strength and if she was in an altercation, she could easily fly away to safety. She likes to perch atop mountains and play with others of her kind, a sort of game to see who can occupy the top for the longest time.
