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.

Miez is a jealous dragon of all sorts, she is too small to be considered a normal dragon and she was too big to be a hatchling, she was a shade of hot pink, nothing like the beautiful pink of Zerlina, the beautiful dragon that could charm any male dragon that walked by her. But her most despised feature was that her defensive and offensive skills were terrible for a species of her caliber. Miez would look at the others like her and see them happily running around with the new hatchlings being the lovely nursing mothers that she didn't ever want to be. She wasn't good with children and was too shy to talk to the adult dragons. But then her life changed. The kind, beautiful dragon Zerlina, the one she had despised walked up to her and told Miez that she was beautiful and told her that she had been jealous for ages and wanted to know if they could be friends, Miez had been shocked but managed to stutter out a, "Thank you, I'd love to be your friend". From that moment on things were better.
