Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Aonori's father is a fearsome Thunder Dragon, the dreaded recipient of human sacrifice and the sire to several long dragon lineages. As her mother's eldest daughter, Aonori cannot help but feel overwhelmed at times, especially when she encounters her father's other offspring who are fiercer, braver, more talented than she is. As an intensely competitive dragon herself, Aonori resolved to find one thing that she could perfect as her own specialty, something that would make her stand out from all her half-siblings. So far, her scrying abilities are what she takes most pride in. Though she may not be the biggest threat on a battlefield, Aonari believes that the frequent spying she does will give her the leverage she needs to be taken seriously by the rest of the family. Every dragon has their secrets to hide, she reasons, and a scryer only needs a little patience and luck to discover those hidden weaknesses.
