Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Ami has a nasty jealous streak stemming from her appearance, which she finds shameful. She is prone to comparing herself to the other dragons among Damian's Island Clan and habitually hides away within the island's forest to avoid being seen. This has caused her to lose consistent exposure to the sun, which has caused her to become malnourished and sickly, which only serves to feed her negative thoughts towards herself even further. Several dragons among the Island Clan have made attempts to befriend her and bring her back into the light, but Ami remains stubborn and unreasonable.
