Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Helga's talent for magic is mediocre at best  at least for a magi dragon. Yet she is one of Delirium's best students because she puts more effort into her studies than even Rowena. Helga is a humble and modest dragoness who attaches more importance to the willingness to learn and work than in talent or high birth and she is willing to help every other student if they ask and really want her help. This has made her very popular among the other magi dragons.

Helga has a terrible crush on Godric and hopes that he will notice her as a possible mate despite her average appearance. The fact that she doesn't see his less desirable traits and worships the ground he walks on, might work in her favour since this flatters the male's rather vain ego.
