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.

Tsu earned her name and place in the flock shortly after hatching. She spent most of her hatchling days in the company of Star and picked up some of her rather... nasty... habits, and lashed out at Heaven's Flame soon after maturing when the older female tried to take her share of the latest flock kill. Standing up to the Hellfire Wyvern earned Tsu much respect among the flock, but Star will always see her as the hatchling who clung to her tail during her first flying lesson.
