Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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 shy dragon, Thalira was very young when she arrived on the island of Clementine. She had been shunned by the rest of her family and so had taken to wandering.

The first dragon to gain her friendship was Sanjam, whom she later fell in love with. Maybe because of his small size and bright colouring he didn't seem so threatening. She agreed to let him introduce her to other dragons, and she soon had a small group of friends to interact with. She would probably have lived very pleasantly, if not for the other Blacks.

Thalira is one of the few dragons on the island to know Noah's true nature. When she refused to join the other Black dragons' group, Noah began to threaten her. Telling Sanjam of this, she was surprised when he promised to stay with her despite the danger. The two of them surround themselves with friends for protection, and live on a mostly herbivorous diet. Although they are unsure if an attack will ever come, they encourage their children to leave the island, just in case.
