Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

Uvelia was found by her older adopted family member, Miyaka, as an abandoned egg. She grew up close to Miyaka but does not share his passion in swimming; instead she hunts goats and birds on the nearby cliffs and lights up the caves at night after the sun goes down before her adopted family eats and goes to sleep. She adores climbing things and getting into other dragons' business. At a young age, she got into a harsh fight with a male Hellfire Wyvern, called Kineltae, which ended in the loss of Kineltae's eye. These is still a small rivalry between the two, but they get along alright now.
