Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Viorett is quite vain and a show-off, although he will never admit to either charge. He shows off his wings and his aerial acrobatics every chance he gets, and is often seen as shallow, narcissistic, and petty by other dragons. However, below this outer shell, he is very caring and kind, and very loyal, although he is easily frightened into flight. Viorett hates fighting and will try to stop any conflict peacefully if he can. He still hasn't made up his mind whether being called "pretty" is insulting or complimentary, although "cute" is definitely insulting.
