Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Orion has a lot to prove to her dad. He wanted a boy, she turned out a girl. However, this did not stop him from naming her after a male galaxy, and teaching her everything a boy should know. After all, he always says, a girl needs to take care of herself just as much as any boy. Her mother was killed by humans, so the feminism inside of Orion has all but been destroyed. Still, she tries with all of her strength to be the boy her dad wants her to be, but find the dragon her heart wants her to be.
