Valentine eggs are only seen once a year. Adults’ mating seasons are very short, usually spanning a few weeks in the mid-to-late winter. These dragons were once reputed to be omens of good luck in love.

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.

A rare dragon like Ara, she's even more reserved and insecure. Arrived in the cave as a precious gift, she was surrounded by admiration and attention and wasn't able to face them, maybe because of frightening experiences she had when she was still in the egg; now as an adult she rarely leaves the cave without the company of another female.

She has problems interacting with male dragons: she refused Remus, her first mate, and when another male comes nearby she flies away. The only exception is her mate Teddy, who gained her love with his kindness: since she doesn't like cold weather, he sometimes likes to change snow into scented white petals.
