Zarestia came before both the Witch and the Dragon—she's one of the oldest figures in those myths. The old stories paint her as this massive, powerful creature who basically controlled the elements. Raising her head would stir up wind, her hands brought fire, her tail could lift water, and her feet would tear up the earth. And apparently she loved doing it, kept doing it over and over. Fans of the lore often note that she seems less like a character with motivations and more like a force of nature itself.
