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.

Sunsetstar was born to a Celestial Dragon, and she imagines that each star represents the soul of a dragon, and when a star dies, it means a dragon has died too. Sunsetstar often stares at the stars during sunset, watching them come out from the horizon, which is why some dragons call her "Sunsetstare." She loves to soar around in the night sky and usually spends those hours dancing in flight, eating once at midnight and once at dawn. Then, she sleeps until about an hour before dusk, which is when she eats her breakfast. Dragons call her Sunsetstare the Pink Bat Dragon for these reasons.
