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.

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.

When young, Olsa was one of the Goldenmage Assembly trainees that Dragontown officials tended to complain about—the sort who would enchant Wednesday Dreams' cloud to float around the merchant districts, or charm small objects to roll into inaccessible places, or conjure up some uncanny illusion to spread rumors of ghosts.  She's never lost her playful spirit or love of pranks, which has led to her being called a "Trickster's Daughter," much to Orlaera's amusement (being very much a trickster herself).  Olsa prides herself on her keen understanding of human and draconic nature, which allows her to choose her victims with care, first observing them to make sure they'll either react well to her tricks or actually benefit from learning some less-than-pleasant truth about themselves.  She's never cruel—unkind, yes, like when she challenged Sunbyrne's inflated impression of himself, but never cruel.
