Feisty and energetic, Whiptail Dragons pride themselves on their speed and agility. It is not unusual to see several whiptails racing each other. Though fragile, they can easily evade attacks with their superior speed, and often use their long tails as a weapon, giving rise to their name.

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.

The fastest in his clan, and quite able to protect herself with his whiptail, it only makes sense for Ryodera to be the messenger whenever one of her family needed to send anything out. Whilst he tends means well and is a kind hearted dragon though, Ryo can be a tad air headed sometimes, a neverending source of amusement and sometimes frustration from her family. He tries hard, but forgetfulness seems to be something he was born with, and as such his family has assigned Elrya, his best friend and mate, to keep track of anything he was tasked with.
