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.

Lyannowyn has been an extremely perky dragon ever since she first hatched. She pretty much drove the less tolerant dragons crazy when she was a baby, since she just couldn't shut her mouth and had more energy that a psychotic squirrel. For the more tolerant members of the clan, she was a little pink ball of adorable energy, and growing up hasn't changed her much. She is a bit of  talkaholic, it's pretty hard to have a short conversation with her. Lyannowyn is very sweet, and is pretty much always happy. She is also quite fond of swimming, although she's not very good at it.
