Carina Dragons, though a rare sight, are quite brilliant to behold. Typically gentle, they abhor violence and have developed a rather unique method of camouflage to avoid it: their wings and bodies blend into the night sky while the cobalt flames that adorn their bodies burn brightly, making them appear to be shooting stars when they fly. Their fire also wards off predators and shields them from unwanted brawls. However, despite this enmity toward bloodshed, Carinae can become dangerous when faced with peril, especially if their young are in jeopardy. Legends speak of young Carina Dragons consuming entire constellations, which then become emblazoned on their wings.

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.

Carina is a gentle beauty among dragons. She is quiet and dignified, walking with much purpose and pride. She's intelligent, like her mother, Constellation, and works as her assistant in her observatory. Like Constellation, Carina has a great interest in the stars and enjoys observing their movements and patterns. It is her favorite pastime to sit down a sketch her favorites, you could cover a whole cave in her sketches. Aside from her deep love of astronomy, Carina also quite likes to flaunt her beauty. Her father, Arva, has always been a show boat and encourages the rest of his family to flaunt their scales too. While both Carina and Constellation are far from models, they do enjoy indulging Arva and strutting along with him in public. With all this strutting, though, it's no wonder Carina has as many potential suitors as she does. Males constantly crowd around her just to ask her out, and she doesn't care for it. It doesn't help that her parents are pressuring her to find a mate.
