When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

A young female with big dreams, Aoi Shores was lucky enough to be born into a river connected to the ocean. She wishes to travel the world's oceans and to experience new things, and to have wonderful stories to tell to her hatchlings in the future should she find "the one". She became a part of the Ocean clan upon the separation of the family, but it didn't bother her much since she had never been to the home cave anyway.
