Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail’s diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.

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.

Origami is a high scout; rather than scouting over large distances, she'll scout by flying up very high in the air and using her excellent vision to scan the land from horizon to horizon. She is one of the faster dragons in her Clan and is usually the swiftest within her scouting group, making her a valuable asset for quickly delivering messages. She takes her job very seriously and is eager to help others, often refusing social chatter and instead favoring her duty to keep the land safe.
