Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Akuma to Dolce developed a taste for sweets and sugary confections. In the ocean, she constantly hunts crabs and lobsters, cracking out their shells to eat their rather sweet meat. However, a chance meeting on a beach strewn in black sand brought her tastebuds to another world. A dragon called Bliss-Kiss was sunbathing on the isolated beach when Akuma to Dolce surfaced and by chance, saw this strange dragon she has never seen before. The two became steadfast friends and lovers.

Although Akuma favors sweet foods, she herself is no sweet entree. In arguments or feuds with other dragons, she often plays the devil's advocate, invoking strife for the sake of it. Thus, to many others, Akuma is a nuisance and sometimes, a bully. Many of the Blusang Lindwurms would try to escape at the sight of Akuma, but to no avail. The Tsunami Wyverns are constantly angry at Akuma. The Water dragons tolerate her, but would rather have nothing to do with her. However, Akuma is too prideful to be hurt.
