Personality
Ryushu is known as a wise and calm dragon. Being the most spiritual dragon of them all. He was known by ghost wolves as a dragon that would always give advice to those who needed it. He has a gentle and peaceful nature as he would always make sure that peace could be kept between him and his siblings. He and Asteria(his sister) often travel towards the Dragon Paradise together when they are in spiritual slumbers. He is the type of dragon that prefers company over being alone. Open for change he loves to hear stories of other living beings as to him all living beings on Delv Ihoo are equally important. Getting his temperament to break is extremely difficult as not even his siblings have seen him angry. In the past he used to be very insecure as he attempted so many things that didn't always work out.
