Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

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.

Zephyr, nicknamed Zepy, is a kind and shy beauty. Her mate was a Holiday dragon named Sprite. The two were polar opposites, Zepy being sweet and generous, when Sprite was more cruel and pessimistic. Zepy's instincts told her she had to get rid of Sprite, so in his sleep, Zepy ran away from him. Zepy became way less trusting, though she was still a kind-hearted dragon. The friend she did have was another male Holiday dragon named Spruce, who helped her by taking her in, and they've lived together ever since.
