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.

Quite the little princess, Daya adores attention: she breathes it like air and flourishes in it like some rare flower. Coy, flirtatious and acutely aware of her own charms, she is an expert at winning other dragons over. Unsurprisingly, her success is most visible among male dragons, many of whom are extremely devoted to her and would grant her every wish. Daya is also rather shallow and very vain, earning her the dislike of a number of female dragons. However, she has a kind heart and will never intentionally hurt another.  Her greatest conquest of all is the free-spirited skywing Kisao, who has become her mate and to whom she has borne many eggs.
