Drageesa is an important member of the ‘Vespeerin’, a mysterious group of creatures referred to as ‘Shadows’ by the protagonists of the story. She is arrogant, self-important, and carries herself with an air of superiority.
Drageesa enjoys a position of great power within the Kin, second only to Mother, the enigmatic ruler of the Shadows. Rarely seen in public, Drageesa is often considered to be an almost mythical figure amongst the Shadows.
Her loyalty is first and foremost to the Kin and there is nothing she won’t do to protect her brothers and sisters. Condescending, haughty and manipulative, Drageesa is able to intimidate humans and Shadows alike. She almost always gets her way.

(Remonstrates with another of the Vespeerin who has brought shame to the Kin) “Don’t pretend that what happened there is the only transgression you’ve committed. Take a look around at these very ruins in which we stand. The fire that destroyed this place was a result of your own doing, was it not?”
(Accusatory, confronting another Shadow about careless mistakes that have endangered the secrecy of the Shadows) “You destroyed the hospital when the townsfolk became suspicious about the disappearances here - the litany of malpractice. And all because you could not control your appetites. Your greed and stupidity brought unwanted attention, didn’t they? You endangered the holy secrets of your brothers and sisters. Your Mother.”
(Unflinching and lacking compassion when told by another Shadow that he has lost the strength to overcome a looming threat; delivering an ultimatum) “Then I suggest you find it. Because if you fail, your name will be cursed. Your memory will be despised by the Kin for eternity. Do you understand? Find your strength, James. That’s the only advice I can give. Find it or perish.”
