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.

Abandoned as an egg and raised from a sickness as a hatchling, Ladyhotep has tried her best to be optimistic however ill she may feel inside. The weakness she experienced in her past has never truly left her, leaving her frail and constantly tired. Despite these problems, she has found many friends to live with in the cave and is happy with her life, in the little cave she shares with the other hatchlings and dragons. Every now and again she requires assistance to move to a quiet spot to recover from over exhaustion, but quietly returns to her chores when her rest is completed. Her nature as a selfish pink dragon has been confused by the consistent waves of illness she experiences. This also means she finds it difficult to consider beginning a family of her own, from an irrational fear of passing on this lethargy to her offspring.
