Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Magi dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Agnes is a quite down to earth magi dragon, she gets along really well with Ridcully and even Esmeralda and most of the other magi dragons as well. No one sees her as a danger or competition and every dragon praises her character. The only exception is Perdita, who calls her a bore. Agnes on the other hand wishes that she was able to avoid Perdita for eternity.

The other dragoness intimidates and frightens her, especially because Perdita is  or rather was  a part of her. Perdita is the total opposite of Agnes and exactly the dragoness she wanted to be, if she was foolish enough to fall for cheap dreams. And since now Delirium has given that foolish piece of imagination a life of her own, Agnes could be free from her. She should be glad that she finally is alone in her own head.

She probably even will be once she gets used to the silence.
