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.

Aesthyr is the fifth dragon Yumi Sennyo raised. She believes she is the most beautiful of the clan and most of the males back her up. She is insanely jealous of Qumado, who is her biggest competition for mating. She is a best friend to Sililos Anon, who is the biggest gossiper in the clan. They both waste the day gossiping and bragging about how pretty they are.

The clan generally likes Aesthyr, but she may be disliked by some because she is so vain. She is friends with everyone and is kind to them, unless she is in a current argument with one of the clan members.
