Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Though her parents are known in the clan as being aloof, reserved dragons, Ximiga is anything but. Always wanting to be involved, and always wanting to be on top, she has dogged the steps of the older hatchlings she was raised with since she could walk, insisting that she be allowed to participate in their rough-and-tumble games. She does poorly at handling any sort of failure, however, and cannot stand being laughed at, even if it's actually being laughed with. The clan matriarch, Oevina the Green, has taken the hotblooded Storm dragoness under her wing in the hopes of instilling a little more patience in her. When not following in her footsteps, Ximiga can be found on the coastline, churning up storms far out at sea, and gallivanting through them with her two oldest companions, Yojiriq the Deep Sea dragon and Waveborne the Waverunner.
