Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

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.

"I'm just too busy", squeaks Chia, as she rushes around the cave. "I have exams to study for, and my life is just so hectic"; yet she avoids all her responsibilities in lieu of these unknown distractions. Presenting herself as a hard working martyr is second nature for Chia, as she emphasizes her massive workload as the only reason she couldn't complete her daily duties. Not once will Chia say she isn't giving all she's got, and she presses on anyone who asks how what she already balances is already superhuman, yet the endless list of projects she has failed to complete trails behind her like a flag drooping in the wind. Chia has yet to say what actually keeps her so busy, and while most will give her the benefit of the doubt, those with suspicious and sharper minds believe that the constant rush is a way to avoid doing anything at all. Even if Chia is busy, it could be argued that she needs to get her priorities right, and stop committing too much, but Chia is too rushed for arguing.
