Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

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.

Loving mate to Violet Eye and second Clan Gaurdian, Faith is a fairly old dragon, in fact one of the eldest in the clan. He has seen many battles in his life, which has caused him to adopt a serious nature (as well as a frozen Guardian hatchling). He is usually the one Clan leaders turn to for advice. Recently he has became wary of the Horse dragon Setsuna, knowing that she's up to something sinister.
