Balloon Dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons. However, they are not prone to bursting, as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary. In addition, they generally are slow moving. They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant. They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.

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.

Yoshihana love drifting with the wind as well as let hatchlings ride with her on her belly. However being a Balloon Dragon has a few draw backs. Some of the wild dragons she sees tend to make fun of her about her kind, which hurt her more then any sword. One day, after being called names by a Black Dragon, Torazo made the beast fall into a dream-like trance, and comforts the crying Yoshihana. She and Torazo have been mates even since and feels more confident with her body.
