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.

Ikumi was not always as vain as she is now. For a long time she was content with being a mere "run of the mill" dragon, but one day she happened across a human hand mirror and when she looked into it, fell in love with her own reflection.

The mirror is now her most prized possession and she always holds in either her claws or tail. Sometimes one of the other dragons try to take it away from her in an attempt to stop her from lazing about, but are rewarded with a nasty blow for their trouble.  

Only her mother or Yamagishi are capable of getting her to work and will set her tasks such as watching over the eggs or hatchlings. However, the instant she is relieved of duty she will slink away to some sunny spot where she will spend the rest of the day gazing into her own brilliant blue eyes.
