Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

Daughter of Helen and Jason, Merissa is an overall pleasant being. Her face is an everlasting smile, turned up in response to her owner's arrival. She is like the soul of her owner, walking outside her form in the wispy form of a silver dragon. She is mute, and almost always wears the same expression as her owner, mostly blank, but sometimes that strange, suspicious half-smile. The female silver likes to fly betwixt and between clouds, accompanied by her friend, Macie, a younger female silver whom has most recently been acquainted to Merissa. They are like long-lost sisters, and a happy glow surrounds Merissa whenever they are together, side-by-side. Should they be parted, Merissa simply goes back to following her owner wherever she goes, her head right next to her owner's. Merissa, being the only silver of her father's children, is often thought as a prize, a trophy, a symbol of her father's silver lineage continued.
