Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

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.

Little Terror is named that way for a reason. When she was a hatchling, she used to annoy her dragontender a lot, by pulling at her clothes then running off again.

Now as an adult, the dragontender thinks she should have called her something a bit more rude!

Little Terror struts in front of the other male dragons, coaxing them to mate with her, and sometimes biting them if they don't comply. All but Skywinger the Blizzard and Stones of the Night have grown wise to her antics, and either ignore her or say that they don't swing that way, which makes her go off in a mood.

Even though she is supposed to be Skywinger's lifemate, Little prefers the company of Stones, because when she offers, he doesn't refuse. She is a poor mother of her eggs, and usually ends up losing them.
