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.

Lady Frederique loves horses. No, not as food, like most Pink Dragons, Frederique is a vegetarian, so the horses are quite safe in her company. Frederique likes to play with horses and run with the wild mustangs through the plains. As a hatchling, her scroll-keeper once took her for a ride on a horse, and she enjoyed that enormously. Now she hopes and dreams she will some day find a way to ride a horse, but so far, she hasn't found a horse strong enough to carry a fully grown adult dragon.

However, she has a good alternative: her mate Swift Stream often takes her for a ride through the waters, and she considers him her personal Water horse.
