Not knowing where she came from or who her parents were, or whether she ever even had any, Schnoerkel feels that she is truly nature`s child. She lives in harmony with the animals and plants of the Everbloom Gardens, always accompanied by her loyal friends: A guinea pig named Sir Fuzzalot whom she found sleeping in her fur one day, a frog named Fridolin whom she befriended 8 seasons ago while taking a bath in her favorite lake, Bertha, a wise old orange tabby that once upon a time strayed into her life, Hugo, a loyal and wise dwarf hamster, as well as Tobi and Kartoffel, a bird and a chinchilla who are one of the most wonderful examples of a happy interspecies marriage. Most of the time she is also surrounded by many hummingbirds, as they are plentiful in the Gardens and feel safe and comfortable around her, inspite of their enormous difference in size. When she is grazing, daydreaming or gathering plants, the tiny creatures fly and buzz around her, drinking nectar from the countless flowers in the gardens.

Schnoerkel doesn`t talk much or often, but if the time is right, she will captivate her friends with dragon lore and stories - Besides her friends, her greatest treasure is her collection of books. In turn, she loves to listen to the fantastic stories that other dragons have to tell.
While Schnoerkel doesn`t have the greatest memory when it comes to faces, names or everyday stuff, she has an astounding knowledge of plants and remembers every scent that her amazingly keen nose has ever picked up. She is a great sniffer and out of all her senses, she relies on and trusts in smelling the most.
When she is sad, which very rarely happens, she picks up Sir Fuzzalot and sniffs him: His warm scent reassures her and quickly takes her back to her usual state of happiness.
Besides happiness and nutritious plant based food, friendship is what is most important to Schnoerkel. With the memory of a Tundra dragon she will likely never remember any birthdays, and even names are easily forgotten, but she will never forget the smell of a friend - or an enemy, for that matter.
