Frilled Dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the “best” frills being more likely to breed.

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.

Aara Erimakitokage is usually called Aara, which means 'adoring', and the name fits her well. She is a gentle dragon, and always tries to be kind to all of the others in her clan. The dragon who she is closest to is, of course, Adomas, and they already have one hatchling together. Aara spends much of her time deep in the cave with Adomas, but unlike him she loves the fresh air and the feel of the wind under her wings, so she emerges more often than he does.
